shapis, 2 miesiące temu (edited 2 miesiące temu) do games w Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?

I’ve traveled the world playing tournaments for a little bit. Won a few. Crashed out in some others…

The big conventions feel insanely cool. It’s like you’re in the game but irl. You are walking down the elevator of your hotel and it feels like just being in the game when you are surrounded by people that you with. It’s super cool having people come up and hug you and you go “oh who’s this?” And it often turns out it’s people that you have shared hundreds of hours with.

The actual competition I’ve always felt it’s all about who can play the least bad. As far as I could tell. Everyone plays worse on stage. For a multitude of reasons. At the end I was playing extremely chill and care free and it showed in the results.

Also something less obvious. Tournaments always developed their own meta. Which I always heard comments from people from home “why didn’t you follow this meta thing. Why did you play such weird strategies?”. It’s because truly if there’s a big competition going on. Everyone good is there. And it’s not even worth getting practice on the normal servers. You have to scrim over and over the people there and that develops its own meta.

Is it worth it? Uhhh. I’ll always cherish those memories. They were truly great years. But I would say for me nah. Not worth it. I’ve always wanted my career and life to be about some other things. And as much fun and surprisingly how well it all paid. I don’t think it was worth the many years I spent doing that and nothing else.

Amazing memories though.

why do investments from large companies matter?

Because we are talking about a large company de investing from something.

It’s kinda the topic we are talking about.

Is Lemmy dead?

I mean. Yeah ? Can you imagine any large companies investing in this in any way? I sure can’t.

I don’t see how what they said was contradictory. VR gaming is indeed dead. And Linux gaming with 5 times less users is also even more dead.

There’s a reason why game devs completely ignore Linux as a platform.

I hope steam is broken up. Monopolies and DRM are never in the users favor.

shapis, rok temu do gaming w How are you all playing these insanely complex games?

Destiny

When I first played I had a wiki open on my second monitor for about the first month I was playing.

Love the game. One of my favorites. And the artwork and music are second to none.

It definitely has the worst onboarding experience ever though.

BG3

It does have deep systems. But you can just pick what feels right to you and the game will accommodate you.

It’s a masterpiece.

Bought the game after following it for a while and thinking to myself there’s no way it doesn’t release later this year.

That happened in 2014.

Lol.

shapis, 2 lata temu do games w Casually Classic: WoW Classic’s leveling journey shows how much retail has lost its way

loved my time in Classic but in retrospect, my fondness was just for my guild.

The social aspect and the game being slower are intrinsically tied together. Having to run to the dungeon and then wait 15 min til a straggler shows up lets you know the people you are playing with in ways that modern MMOs and their gogogo playstyle just don’t allow.

Classic was full of systems that intentionally put the social aspect of the game front and center.

Oh I totally misread the question. My bad.

Answering the actual question. Any game that spams me with dark patterns bullshit is immediately unfun.

Oh here’s your daily login reward! Ready for your dailies? Oh just fuck right off.

shapis, 2 lata temu do gaming w Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?

SimCity 2013 or whatever the full online one was.

It was bugs and lies all the way to the bottom of it.

Worst part of reading this is that I do not remember the year. Or the patch number. But Im fairly positive I know exactly about what you are talking about.
