mohab,

🎶 Assassin’s Creed is a good franchise 🎶

mohab,

Yeah, I thought this was dope.

We don’t have enough good Kaiju games, IMO. Inaba robbed us of Project G.G. or Kamiya messed up, IDK. But they need to work it out and finish that project at some point.

Maybe Clovers can buy the IP if Okami 2 is a hit, who knows. I doubt Platinum would mind.

mohab,

Having to grovel to lower the difficulty in God Hand.

mohab, (edited )

Right, and for their next trick they’re gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.

mohab,

I wish they start supporting regional pricing and more currencies.

mohab,

Bruh, I still haven’t bought the first game because I don’t wanna give money to Microsoft… now I won’t buy the sequel because I don’t wanna give money to Krafton. Madness.

mohab,

I hate this so much because I love em dashes and have been using them forever.

mohab,

I think it could be useful in edge cases and the user needs to be skilled at whatever they’re using it for.

Reality is it is predominantly used by rich assholes to cut corners and get around hiring and paying workers.

mohab,

Thank you for putting this together.

Consensus seems weak environmental design, mediocre graphics, and awesome combat—more Platinum than TN, which fans more or less predicted from the pre-release footage. As a Platinum fan myself, I don’t mind that, but I see why this can annoy the Itagaki faithful.

I’ve seen Steam reviews bring up some performance issues most critic reviews didn’t, but apart from that, I’m satisfied with the reception enough to add it to my wishlist. It’s such a nice feeling knowing there’s a new action game waiting to be bought and played. We don’t get to experience this feeling nearly enough.

Hopefully, Onimusha and Okami 2 will follow suit and we’ll get a DMC6 announcement soon.

mohab,

From Software could kill the entire soulslike genre with one lawsuit. Like, just pick the biggest non-From Software soulslike and sue the publisher.

mohab,

Controversial figure. IDK if I ever liked him, TBH. Even though he was cleared of the sexual harrasment charges, he still admitted to having an affair… and he gave us one of the best action games of all-time. Weird guy.

Hopefully, he’s at peace now and whoever was affected by his weird life decisions is at peace as well.

Now that he’s dead, will Team Ninja and Tecmo stop holding vanilla NGII hostage out of spite?

mohab,

Reportedly, Itagaki was an alcoholic and chainsmoker. I don’t think he cared much to live long and, TBH, his games reflected it. I can’t think of anything more YOLO in gaming than that staircase fight in NGII. Man designed a fight to break the console and bragged about it.

mohab,

I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing this update pop up in my library a few hours ago. Madness from Bandai.

mohab,

Can we not use “roguelite” and “arcade” in the same sentence? Roguelite is the anti-arcade.

Arcade games don’t reward you with permanent power ups for losing runs, that’s just modern gaming nonsense, which you can enjoy, just get your terminology right and don’t mislead people.

Beat’em up != arcade.

mohab,

Unfortunate for the people laid off, but this game sucks and this developer has been a dick since day 1.

HLD still doesn’t have cloud save support BTW.

mohab,

Hot take: it shouldn’t be. Guy has great ideas, but he’s never really been a good writer. Nothing he ever writes is cohesive or makes total sense.

Good comedy bits though… he should still write the comedy bits.

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] (news.xbox.com) angielski

They’re trying to soften the blow by adding new features to each tier, but it’s still just to disguise a price hike. More games are coming to the $15 tier, but it still won’t be day and date releases. First party games come to the $15 tier “within a year”, but that’s even excluding Call of Duty.

mohab,

I have a hard time believing there are many people willing to spend 360$ to play games that will disappear as soon as you stop playing.

I hardly spend $100 on games a year. Subscribing to Game Pass means I’m overspending by April, and for games I don’t even own. Insane proposition.

mohab,

Yo, open world RPG folks, stay home on this, it’s all button mashing nonsense to your “elevated” brain anyway 😂 We got this.

Just maybe read the article first next time.

mohab,

I agree with what Max said: this only makes sense for Japan, which’s bizarre because they made a ton of effort to broaden the audience of SF6 outside of Japan and it’s a shame to have that jeopardized out of greed.

Some old, evil executive saw all the goodwill they’ve been building up and got upset, probably.

mohab,

This isn‘t some huge event with mainstream appeal.

It is in Japan, but the whole idea is archaic anyway. Reeks of old, greedy executive BS. So short-sighted in terms of both profitability and goodwill.

mohab,

Love Darkstalkers! Capcom better be working on bringing it back!

mohab,

New Lemmy pasta?

mohab,

Hmm… I think this one is gonna be personal because people enjoy genres to varying degrees.

For me, it’s Konami’s PES (eFootball now, or FL2025 if you’re modding)

Start career mode, buy players, play a season, forget about it, and repeat like a month or two after. It’s a fairly mindless activity to me and I do it when I wanna give my brain a break.

mohab,

It’s so bad, OMG. For +30 games on my wishlist, not a single difference from the Summer sale, and about half of them were already on sale for the same price before the Autumn sale began.

Why even bother with seasonal sales at this point.

mohab,

Saudi owning FIFA is hilarious seeing most of its profit comes from gambling. Muslims my ass 😂 Not that they ever practiced what they preached anyway—Islam or not, religion has always been nothing but a tool of oppression to rulers.

mohab,

It’s not unknown, but I think it’s an underrated mechanic: in God Hand, the better you do, the more the difficulty increases. If it gets too much and you want to lower it back down, you can grovel and beg enemies to go easier on you.

I wish more developers tied difficulty change to in-game actions like that.

mohab,

Yet another Mikami game. Incredible legacy.

The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games (www.bloomberg.com) angielski

It’s true. Reviewers rave about a game, I pick it up and play it, and they’re raving about a new one before I’ve finished that last one. I’ve got a list of 20+ games that came out this year that I still haven’t gotten around to. I might get through 5 of them before the new year. And you know, if wouldn’t hurt my...

mohab,

Hmm… newest game in my library is Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes from last year, which is a re-release anyway.

I bought 13 old-ish (pre-2022) games this year for less than $100. I have no reason to spend %60-80 of that on 1 game I probably won’t even like, and that’s if it clears the seemingly impossible “playable” hurdle.

Let me count upcoming games I look forward to playing/am curious about:

  1. Ninja Gaiden 4 (Happy to wait for a deep sale)
  2. Onimusha (Happy to wait for a deep sale and may even refund if I don’t enjoy it)
  3. Okami 2 (Happy to wait for a deep sale)
  4. Marvel: Tokon (Will definitely wait for a deep sale—$10 base game)

That’s it.

I definitely went to see more new movies at the cinema this year than I played new games. IDK where the industry is headed and I feel for all the underpaid, overworked developers at risk, but there isn’t much I can do if publishers collectively decided to abandon my favorite genres.

mohab,

What is that price tag 😂 Someone drop the Donte white wig meme please.

mohab,

Looks like yet another Sony game for movie goers.

Traversal sold Infamous and Spiderman, let’s see what sells this one—I doubt it’ll be the combat.

mohab, (edited )

Yeah, I’m gonna guess some kind of dismember system that fills up a meter and let’s you perform takedowns, which, in theory, wouldn’t be so bad—Ninja Gaiden had it, minus the meter.

Question is: are we going to get a proper combo system around it with proper risk/reward and freedom of expression, or are they gonna baby proof it? Combat looks grounded, so I’m guessing the latter.

I don’t see Wolverine launching enemies in the air and doing air juggles in a cowboy hat and jeans 😅

mohab,

I didn’t ask for this.

My first thought. I still regularly see the original in top 10 lists to this day. Not sure who asked for this.

mohab,

So you’re saying they’re trying to cash in on the game’s popularity with a crappy remaster? You’re either a troll or you need to work on your logical deduction skills if you can’t figure out why people are complaining.

mohab,

Yo, do you work on the game or something 😂 What a crash out. This is hilarious.

Go tell your bosses to make an original IP instead of cashing in with low-effort remasters.

mohab,

Because it’s already beloved and very much alive.

mohab,

Hey, if you’re OK buying a game that looks worse than the original for QOL improvements that could, and should, be patches, you go ahead and support exploitative business practices.

And don’t forget to continue to freak out at online strangers for not joining you on your bootlicking adventures. That’ll make your life better, I’m sure.

mohab,

OK, so they moved everything to the middle and added one extra click to get anywhere… for no reason?

Because if that side menu was standing between us and a screen-wide UI, the coast is clear now, so WTF?

mohab,

They can use Gaming Copilot’s Voice Mode to get assistance with in-game tasks, ask it to recommend new games to play, check their achievements or their play history, and more.

“A major step in Xbox’s journey to bring these AI-powered experiences to players is rolling out: Gaming Copilot – which provides recommendations, help, insights and more – is officially coming to Windows PC and Xbox on mobile,” Microsoft said.

OK, so like what? “Jarvis, what’s the solution to this puzzle?” or “Jarvis, how do I complete this quest?”

Like, is it gonna replace looking up guides?

I can see this being useful to achievement hunters instead of having to repeatedly alt-tab to see what’s left, but how often does the typical player look up guides?

And what is the end goal? Essentially turning it into a cheat engine that plays the game for you?

mohab,

Probably, yes. I just wonder what kind of mass appeal this may have, if any.

mohab,

Damn, that’s unfortunate. I’m glad Steam is cooperating though—a lot of platforms would try and bury this.

I hope this ends up being a blessing in disguise for them. Heart-wrenching to lose 10 years to a project and see little return because of a bug you’re not even responsible for.

mohab,

Yo, Randy, eat your own shit! Don't forget to swallow!

mohab,

TIL broken is a premium feature 😂

mohab,

Conan did a Clueless Gamer playing it and the game crashed halfway through 😂 Not even making it up, it's on YT.

mohab, (edited )

I'm not a fan of looter shooters, so this was never gonna work for me anyway, but I wanna mention this because I found it funny: Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition is $130 and the last 17 games I bought on Steam cost me $127, and that includes a few DLCs 😂

I also just realized this: currently at 60%, Borderlands 4 has worse user rating than any of those 17 games 😂

mohab,

train of thought

bobby

You got yourself in a cul-de-sac there. The worm ate the train long ago 😂

mohab,

Not putting checkpoints close to boss fights is not difficulty.

You're pointing a finger at the Soulslike genre here, not only HK. Some games may abandon it, but this is common enough to be called a genre stable.

Just like the "hit hit, dodge/parry, hit hit" combat pattern, losing/recovering currency, enemies respawning on bonfire use… etc.

I think this whole genre is wack, TBH. I don't even find it difficult, I just think what they test is perseverance in the face of misery and tediousness, which's a bizarre thing to test in a video game. It's almost as if it's straight up telling you: this is a serious video game, no room for fun here.

Meanwhile, Ninja Gaiden proved you can simultaneously have extreme difficulty AND fun like one million years ago.

mohab,

You're pointing a finger at the Soulslike genre here, not only HK. Some games may abandon it, but this is common enough to be called a genre stable.

You should try Salt and Sanctuary, Sekiro, Bloodborne, The Surge, Lords of the Fallen, or Lies of P—all had boss runbacks, and that's ignoring HK, Silksong, and the original Souls games.

mohab,

TBF, you can say the same about any game if you don't enjoy the genre.
