MrScottyTay,

Why would slam have to be in quotes?

MrScottyTay,

I occasionally still buy physical on the few day one releases I get because somehow getting that delivered to my house can be £5 cheaper or more

18+ My friend gifted me a "fighting RPG" that turned out to be something else entirely angielski

A friend who I’ve played WoW with for years gifted me an “RPG fantasy game” from GOG called ‘Under the Witch’, telling me it was a fighting style RPG. What I didn’t realize was that he was trolling me in the most hilarious way...

MrScottyTay,

But don’t you like see images of it when you go the page to install it?

MrScottyTay,

It’s designed from the ground up for the haptics though, it ain’t going to break it.

MrScottyTay,

Bit over ambitious with that last line aren’t you?

MrScottyTay,

Sadly i don’t think the general movie industry cares about video games and their audiences. Otherwise we’d have more consistently decent adaptations.

MrScottyTay,

I think it uses the step counter service on your phone. It does not need to be running in the background.

MrScottyTay,

It gets the step count from the device itself so it does not need to be running at all times to track it. I think it just keeps track of what the number was the last time you opened it and what the number is the next time you open it and it awards you the difference.

What category is games like Life is Strange and Until Dawn? angielski

So both Life is Strange and Until Dawn have what’s called the butterfly effect something that’s kind of a questionable concept at best but it’s somewhat real. Telltale was famous for games like this as well. But yeah it’s like depending on your actions it can change the story and thus play more like a movie with a...

MrScottyTay,

They’re basically an evolution of the point and click adventure. This variation is often just called a narrative game or other similar sounding names. Searching for “games like telltale” should give you a good list.

Telltale were the ones that evolved the point and click into the form it takes now just so you know. Supermassive (until dawn) made their take on the genre feel more cinematic and more like watching a movie with choices but they’re ultimately still using the formula that telltale pioneered.

MrScottyTay,

That was more of a survival horror game

Facial Tracking in inZOI Character Studio

I made a quick video on the facial tracking inside the inZOI Character Studio as I thought it was awesome. I was not expecting this level of detail and I'm very much looking forward to the game releasing now!

This is going to blow The Sims 4 out of the water!

MrScottyTay,

I’m not a big fan of the artstyle (or lack of one) to be honest. Feels emotionless with a side serving of uncanny valley

MrScottyTay,

The tech is pretty crazy like, I’ll give it that

MrScottyTay,

Can the joystick work without the adaptive controller. Would love something like that

Here's what a random person on the internet thought of Medal Of Honor Airborne (lemmy.world) angielski

This game at first presented itself with an earnestness familiar to WW2 media. The game began with a sense of veneration of the real men of the airborne in WW2. There was a constant orchestral score in all the menus and briefing screens to set a mood. There were somber titlecards with quotes from real soldiers of the war. The...

MrScottyTay, (edited )

I always loved the respawning in multiplayer where you started again as another paratrooper coming out of a plane. Wish more games did this.

MrScottyTay,

Oooo. Is this by any chance the ghost of vicarious visions coming back?

MrScottyTay,

The OG numbered bundles were so damn good

MrScottyTay,

Even really old games have T&Cs though, they’re usually just in the installers. They’ve existed for games since at least windows 95

MrScottyTay, (edited )

Good point

I think if the TOS changes on a game you have paid for you should have the right to a refund if you don’t agree with the new one

MrScottyTay,

That’s just how camera controls were best then, they were always horizontally inverted and not many key you change it. If you emulate or play it on pc, you can at least rebind it so its no longer inverted

MrScottyTay,

Nintendo are an anomaly though, they’re not struggling financially and when they do the higher ups take a cut so everything else stays business as normal for the most part and they just keep trucking along comfortably

MrScottyTay,

Didn’t last of us part 2 come out seven months ago?

MrScottyTay,

This is the actual strategy they’re going for I think

MrScottyTay,

Considering what companies that make live services target for… They’ll chalk this up as a loss at the amount of All of the money in the world.

MrScottyTay,

I was in the previous beta but after getting a new phone “jelly star” it kept reporting i had done 0 steps every time i would open it. Like how it would prior if i was updating the game it would forget the steps i did from the last time i opened it. Don’t know if it has something with it starting to auto update. I also disabled so battery optimisations on my phone to do with the app and anything system wise for the pedometer.

Absolutely love the game though and an eager for when this is fully out and i can more easily recommend it to friends.

MrScottyTay,

That’s great news. I’ll take a look!

MrScottyTay,

Just want to let you now that I’ve not had any issues since. Everything’s been working as expected now.

MrScottyTay,

Wish the VCS was in the UK. Prices are insane due to importing

MrScottyTay,

I think the real news is that they are no longer making new content cause the new mainline game is now all hands on deck with whoever’s leftover just working on minor updates for 4 now

MrScottyTay,

I’m both hopeless and optimistic at the same time. I want it to be good so I’ll reserve judgement until we get actual concrete info.

Yeah, I got sick of the way they dealt with dlc for 4. Early on it was still kind of annoying but if you were of a certain persuasion you could look past it. But compared to how it ended up being, the early days of 4 expansions now look like heaven.

Instead of playing 4 I’ve been messing around with XP and playing 1, 2 and the Stories games. I’m sad the series had ended up how it is but I’m glad of the earlier games still though and they bring me endless joy.

MrScottyTay,

It didn’t explicitly say. I’m reading between the lines of the PR speak.

MrScottyTay,

Redundancy means that they get paid for being made to leave the company. That terminology is used because it’s different from being fired.

MrScottyTay,

Read the guys comment again though. They say their issue is with calling them “redundancies” in a language sense. But it’s not sugar coating it or anything, that’s the legitimate term for what happened.

MrScottyTay,

If you faked your death you’d likely never want to tie yourself to any platform that requires you to make an account that could in time be used to identify you

MrScottyTay, (edited )

I hope this doesn’t make them think they can do this again though. This should make them realise they should’ve always gave the Devs more time to cook or been more realistic with scope from the get go

MrScottyTay,

I remember hearing even some high specced pcs were having issues and you had to essentially be lucky that you had a configuration that they had the time to optimise for. Just having the best gpu wasn’t enough, for example

MrScottyTay,

Recommended is absolutely meant to be “the game runs well on this” not just it runs

MrScottyTay,

It’s probably them just trying to go for a synonym to describe what happened as they’re not usually allowed to repeat themselves.

MrScottyTay,

Actually in the 360 era, the PS3 ended up selling more by the end.

So in the public eye people usually consider the 360 winning but by other metrics, the PS3 did.

MrScottyTay,

In the UK, where I’m from, it’s widely considered 360 won too.

The reason the PS3 won in the end I think was due to a worsening opinion of Microsoft towards the end when the original plan for the Xbox One was being discussed and shown, along with a lot of teenage gamers now being older with more disposable income allowing them to buy a PS3 later in the generation and trying out all of the exclusives they missed out on.

I don’t know how true this rings out in general, but that was pretty much my experience.

MrScottyTay,

The north east for me. Pretty much everyone had a 360 and everyone still calls it “the 360 days” or something of the other. But might just be the people I come across. Only had a few friends that had a PS3 in school, they always seemed to be left out from what the others were doing gaming wise. Wasn’t until the PS4 until I started seeing people back to playing PlayStation by default like the PS2 days.

MrScottyTay,

I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and were even previously able to play are now locked out, then I was on board.

I’m not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.

MrScottyTay,

It’s on PS5, what you on about

MrScottyTay,

Guitar hero for me was a 360 thing. I’ve always wanted to go back and try out the PS2 ones though, just not had the hardware.

MrScottyTay,

OG Xbox had JSRF too though and it’s stuck there. Never had a re-release

MrScottyTay,

And the PS2 was also reportedly the hardest to work with, especially early on in its life before the tools had matured. It proliferated purely on the install base (partly thanks to the DVD playback)

MrScottyTay,

Kingdom Hearts I & 2, Final Fantasy X, Jak trilogy, the Ratchet games, GTA 3D trilogy. So many games I still go back to this day.

Persona 3 and 4 I found out at the back end of the PS3 era and dusted off my PS2 just play them as well.

MrScottyTay,

You can still do all of that stuff without owning the game via steam

Other than modding via workshop

MrScottyTay,

Yeah specific single game launchers are pretty awful
