dinckelman,

Now do it everywhere else

dinckelman,

After some 200+ hours in the game, this alleged issue hasn’t even crossed my mind once. The world is absolutely gorgeous, and the sense of exploration is unreal

dinckelman,

Gothic 2 is still my all-time favorite game, so I was anxiously waiting for them to show this. So far, it’s looking incredibly good

dinckelman,

I really loved the first game, but have zero faith in the sequel. I think the whole 3d rework makes no sense, and on top of that, it’s led by a company, that’s historically made the worst choices in every aspect of development

dinckelman,

A game that is designed to be difficult, turns out to be difficult. More at 11

dinckelman, (edited )

Keep trying. Learning the choreography will get you 95% there. Once you figure out how to dance around his flashy attacks, it will all come together

dinckelman,

A lot of these are a distraction. Pay attention to the hitboxes, and you’ll get it done soon

dinckelman,

Super excited about this game, but looks like Epic already got their hands on the exclusivity deals. Just going to pretend it comes out a year later

dinckelman,

I wish more games had demos. In the era of 70€ triple-A games, you can’t even get out of the tutorial in 2 hours

dinckelman,

Gothic 2! Full soundtrack, or a compilation of just ambient tracks

dinckelman,

Four Swords came with Link to the Past too. Never played it, but it’s exclusively multiplayer, as far as I know

dinckelman,

Sounds like the chase for infinitely profitable growth ain’t going that great for them

dinckelman,

Loved the first game! Good to see they’re making a new one

dinckelman,

That’s a loaded list. I’m very excited about the changes to plugins. Those have always felt a little unfinished, and specifically when it came to controller bindings, it was a pain in the ass. The usage of SDL should improve that massively

dinckelman,

While not wrong, let’s not pretend that their friends across the ocean aren’t doing the exact same thing. Practically everything Microsoft have acquired has either been shutdown, or crippled to the point where it’s unrecognizable

dinckelman,

I’ll be real with y’all, a 50$ 4 hour tech demo just doesn’t appeal to me, especially in a world where the indie market is absolutely booming with phenomenal titles.

Sure, the first one was nice, but I never felt like I was so impressed by it, that i’d do it again.

dinckelman,

Quite sad, but entirely unsurprising.

I loved Gothic to death, and 2 is my all-time favorite game, but after having their wrists slit by the publisher with Gothic 3, and everything happening after the release of that, I am not upset it’s over.

The quality of ELEX was miserably bad in every way imaginable, and it only got worse with ELEX2. Risen had great potential with the first game, but completely flopped it with the next two.

For a lack of a better expression, they were a one-trick pony, and rode that wave of success into their eventual grave.

I’m not sure how substantiated these claims are, but i’ve also heard that most of the original team have left years before the shutdown either way, so essentially, what was left of Piranha Byte is just a husk of what used to be

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

dinckelman,

Read back what you just wrote, and go for a walk to let it brew for a bit.

Why the fuck would anyone slave their only life away, for any employer?

dinckelman,

I genuinely dont understand how SEGA are still in business, after decades of being completely detached from reality

Getting the Skyrim itch again... Any mod recommendations to freshen it up? angielski

Previously I’ve been pretty gentle with modding that game - things like SkyUI to make it a bit more PC friendly, utility mods like the one limits soul gems to ONLY being filled with their highest tier (no more wasting a grand by filling it with a mudcrab). Also LockPick Pro to effectively skip lockpicking, cuz I hate...

dinckelman,

I’ve returned to the game too, after a fairly long break, and ended up settling on Thuldor’s preset. I love Simonrim, so it saved me the time on putting it together, but all the newest fixes/modernization efforts are there too. Strongly recommended. The leveling process is completely different, and that’s something I haven’t tried before. About 60 hours in, it’s really damn solid

dinckelman,

Such a fucking sleazebag. A few hours ago he’s said all accusations against him are completely false, but now he’s figured out there’s no coming back, because his money is going away, and he’s trying to pull the rug back. Fuck directly off.

Anyone who ever liked watching this narcissistic pedo is beyond my understanding. What he’s saying isn’t even damage control. He immediately turned it around, and made himself the victim

dinckelman,

What are they going to sell then? More than half of their shops are poor quality merch, and own brand peripherals

dinckelman,

Normally, I would say that I don’t care when a game comes out, as long as it’s a genuinely good, complete experience. But knowing Bethesda, it’ll be another 5 years before we see anything, and then we’ll get an embarrassingly buggy title, that hasn’t innovated on anything since Fallout 3 came out.

I used to forgive them for anything, knowing that the modding community would just patch things anyway, but we’ve seen how Starfield was rejected by a ton of people with skills.

dinckelman,

That really is a pretty substantial part of it too. Modding at its core requires a good game, and everything else comes from people wanting to change parts of it, that aren’t necessarily to their liking. Bethesda somehow assumed that people would be willing to reimplement half of the game at launch. That just won’t slide anymore, for 70$

dinckelman,

Their announcement for the 30th anniversary implies that it is in early pre-alpha right now. Chances of it running on the same exact engine as Starfield are practically 100%

dinckelman,

Who knows, honestly. I’m not holding my breath for this game anymore. When it comes out, i’ll check it out, but if it’s in the same pitiful state as Starfield, then idk

dinckelman,

That’s the difference. I would wait a decade for a follow-up to Elden Ring. It was a genuinely incredible game in every way.

dinckelman,

Are the dlcs worth getting? I only have Rise and Fall. With the current bundle, I could snag the rest of them, for the price of New Frontiers alone. I can’t really say i’m huge into Civ, or knowledgeable about individual leaders though

dinckelman,

Ended up buying everything. Comes down to 19 Euro for just about everything, minus the game, and the dlc i already owned, so if I end up playing with friends, it’s not a bad deal at all

dinckelman,

I’ll reserve my judgement until I experience the new content, but it felt like a player-made machinima at best. I’m incredibly excited about the new raid

dinckelman,

Even besides the corporate issues, I just can’t help but not like this handheld.

It looks like a cheaply built gamer device, and it feels like a cheaply built gamer device in the hand too. Between them and MSI, it’s almost as if they’ve put literally no effort into engineering anything, and just threw together a whatever they could, on the basis of a generic shell.

Not to mention that having ArmoryCrate is literally a downside in every way, and having 2 years of warranty NOW, after they showed up on FTCs radar, is laughable

dinckelman,

Every single time i’ve checked it out, it felt like a cheap eastern Diablo clone, except it had horrible networking issues, and a never-ending development cycle, that somehow never delivered any real content.

Quite a big shame that this doesn’t even have LAN

dinckelman, (edited )

Things like these prove to us, that they’ve learned nothing, after a decade of Siege

dinckelman,

So much to unpack in the trailer. Not to mention that they’re intentionally trying to gaslight us with possible theories. Really well done. Now we just gotta see if the content lives up to the expectations

dinckelman,

They want to ensure their business is working well, so they shutdown the parts that were working well, and left those that are failing miserably. Logic checks out

dinckelman,

The Switch Pro controller has been my favorite, however it has two issues. The trigger buttons are just a switch, so if you’re into arcade racing games, that’ll be rough. The other is that the rubber pads on the thumbsticks are questionable quality, and can also become quite slippery from the oils in your skin

dinckelman,

I’m considering changing to it, but i’d like to try it out somewhere first. Quite a pricetag for something that might be less comfortable

dinckelman, (edited )

Microsoft and Google really aren’t too dissimilar, in a lot of ways. The only reason why Xbox still exists isn’t because they’re so incredibly passionate about it. There was a niche for them to make money, and they’ve created a product in it, that has the minimum viable qualities to complete. Issue is that just as Google does, they stopped caring about it entirely, after the initial pitch

dinckelman,

Because being received well isn’t what Microsoft are after. They’re after making as much money, as (un-)realistically possible, even if it means shutting down things. This isn’t the first, and definitely not the last time. They’ve had more than a handful of studios with iconic IPs, that got absolutely annihilated after acquisition

dinckelman,

Just because a signal is sent, it doesn’t mean it’ll be received. We all know that practically any other major brand will still pump and dump e-waste, filled to the brim with mtx

dinckelman,

Truth be told, i don’t have an ounce of care in me about this community council. I want them to make a product that was advertised, because so far it’s just a scam of colossal orders of magnitude (ha)

dinckelman,

The way how Nintendo has a complete inability to understand modern, usually online, entertainment services, is truly an achievement. Just creating an NNID for your console is already a colossal pain in the ass, but it doesn’t begin or stop there. The way how fairly modern games got their entire service lineup completely shutdown is just unacceptable

dinckelman,

Why can’t we ever have anything nice

dinckelman,

Given the rest of the updates, i’ll close my eyes to it. Just disable the menu with a mod, as always, and just forget it was there

dinckelman,

That’s quite a huge update

    dinckelman,

    Probably do, but definitely not with default Git. Bunch of game devs use perforce, or some kind of a modified version of a different version control

    dinckelman,

    Just because you only know three games, it doesn’t mean the rest of us do too. Slay The Spire, and Darkest Dungeon, are a couple of really well known and community loved indie games. Both excellent examples of what can be done with limited resources

    dinckelman,

    Some “niche community” with a game that’s in the top100 most active games on Steam alone, 5 years after release
