Corkyskog, w Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

Does anyone know if you can get regular Overwatch for PS5? I assume it’s restricted to Overwatch 2 to push the microtransactions?

When you buy a game and it turns out it’s just a direct debit. Games aren’t supposed to be fun they’re supposed to make money off you plebs

Every day I’m more glad I didn’t buy it. Didn’t even cost me much friend time. They only played it for about a week.

Anyone who engages in item duplication will have their account actioned? Wtf. Imagine if they took away your Pokemon cartridge just for duping an item.

coyootje,

It’s the standard Blizzard approach to do that, they used to do the same thing in WoW. I hope they do look at how many times someone’s done it. If they’ve only done it once (or maybe twice), maybe just give them a warning. If more, then consider banning them.

Chozo,

It's pretty common for online games that have player-to-player trading systems. The developers are usually very protective of their in-game economies, because while they don't officially support grey markets, they know that the existence of grey markets is the sole reason a huge chunk of players (often whales) play their game in the first place. It's in Blizzard's best interest to ensure that there isn't in-game inflation.

Reminds me of New World. That was full of exploits and each time the devs blocked trading, sometimes for days at a time.

Yeah, the numbers also show that TF2 has always been alive and popular. Valve don’t care about anything.

Ohh

ngcbassman,

Same reaction, once Baldur’s Gate 3 was out I haven’t touched this game, and probably I’ll wait for a couple of months until they fix the mess they have

Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian’s previous game is and they did that one when the studio was a fraction of the size it is now and on a miniscule budget when compared to BG3. It’s just a wonderful studio, full of talent and enthusiasm that starts from the top.

mojo,

Yeah and dos2 they really figured out the formula. Bg3 feels basically like dos2 but with a lot more story and cinematics, but not to say dos2 didn’t already have a ton too. It’s a good thing though, both games are amazing.

eestileib,

Bg3 feels basically like dos2

That was all I ever needed to hear. 😄

JoMiran,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

I really like that dice roll mechanic they added in BG3, it’s highly satisfying. But yeah, mechanically D:OS2 and BG3 are pretty much the same. I hope BG3 makes people give D:OS2 a try.

mojo,

Honestly that’s my biggest complaint tbh. I just don’t like DnD combat. Miss rates are way to high and feel awful. It’s way too RNG and I have to save scum like crazy.

JoMiran,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m happy to keep the systems different like this. That way D:OS and BG continue to be different play experiences, because I do want a D:OS3

Cryst,

I bought divinity 2 when it came out. Haven’t played it yet! Still in the back log.

There are so many hilariously broken builds. You can play it serious or you can go the full comedy route.

123,

barrelmancy > all other builds

seejur,

I absolutely adore their feedback/early access system.

All games should have an early access like that. Not a shitty way to release a crap full of bugs to steam out, but a very analytic/data and feedback base way to improve the game. Basically giving the players a very large demo that can be easily changed in order to improve it.

WarmSoda,

Have you played TotK?

Seriously. The Switch is a piece of shit and it looks beautiful and plays well and has so much depth and complexity. Sure, it doesn’t have raytracing, but have you seen those sunsets?

520,

I can't agree it's that easy a win at all. Both are outstanding games, doing very different things excellently

EchoesInOverdrive,

BG3 is immensely good and I’m really enjoying it so far. I have to say I had more pure fun playing TotK and would call it the better game. I love them both though.

Mr_TheMoviePhone,

My issue with TotK is it was fun until one day it suddenly wasn’t. I explored pretty much the whole map but never finished the main story

mojo,

Oh man at least jump in and beat the final boss. The ending is amazing and extremely satisfying.

Mr_TheMoviePhone,

Damn really? I’ll have to do it then

mojo,

10/10 ending

mojo,

Idk about that, it’s very very hard to compare the two and to which is better. Objectively, they’re both amazing games and very high quality. Think from there, what determines what’s better is what your preference is. I like them both for different reasons and can just tell you I’m immersed and having tons of fun with both.

TheQuietCroc,

I haven’t even played BG3 yet, but I wouldn’t fault anyone for saying this. I lost a month and a half to TOTK and enjoyed every second. It fixed every gripe I had about BOTW, but that’s kind of the problem as well. I always felt like BOTW was a glorified tech demo, and after playing TOTK, it felt more like the game BOTW should have been.

TOTK also has its own issues, especially with the story. The story just being told to you and not being something you’re really experiencing was a weird choice. I was hoping for Ganondorf’s involvement to be more than “it was me Link!” leading up to the final confrontation.

The final boss fight was an insanely awesome sequence though. Easily my favorite part of the game.

WarmSoda,

I agree with not really being a part of the story. You do play a part a little more in Totk, but it’s still mostly watching cutscenes from the past again. Such a weird narrative to stick to.

Also, did you know that was the imprisoning war?

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

Secret stone? Demon king?

WarmSoda,

If they named them Sacred Stones the whole thing might be one tiny bit less cringe

theragu40,

I’m excited for BG3 but I guess I struggle to see why it needs to be compared to TotK at all. Feels like that is selling both games a bit short. They aren’t really that similar.

Bookmeat,

Because they’re on the same game leaderboard. So they get compared.

offspec,

They’re competing for GotY, probably the only reason they’re getting compared.

Which is a perfect example of the irrelevance of awards, and not just in gaming but pretty much any other subject. The fact I like pizza doesn’t influence how much I love cake and people who love soup are also right.

Bluescluestoothpaste,

I think it’s a fair question that if both are transcendental games, which transcends over the other?

theragu40,

My argument would be that one doesn’t transcend over the other. It’s probably obvious but I also think numbered review scores are inherently flawed, because the metric is subjective and meaningless.

I much prefer a tiers system. These are both top tier games. Anyone can agree they are of exemplary quality and represent some of the best their genre has to offer. Any argument beyond that very quickly devolves into squabbles over subjective preference and that is a bit pointless to me.

As an example, a few of my favorite games of all time are Earthbound, Half-Life, Super Mario World, Metroid Prime, and Skyrim. I would rank all 5 of these games in my top tier. But what point is there in trying to rank them amongst each other? They have nothing to do with one another, so I have no meaningful way to compare them. If I use numbering, would I rank Earthbound a 9.7 and Metroid Prime a 9.5 and that means Earthbound is a better game? 2 tenths better? What does that even mean? I just don’t find value in that kind of arbitrary comparison.

peppersky,

Nah.

If I want to play a Zelda game, BG3 sucks. If I want to play a Baldur’s Gate game, TotK sucks.

gamer,

If I want to play a Tetris game, they both suck.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yup! So why directly compare them? They’re all very different experiences

simple, w The Lords of the Fallen: The First 13 Minutes of Gameplay

Is there a “The” in the title or not?!

Anyways, it looks pretty good. The gameplay has some jank to it but I’m hopeful.

TimLovesTech,

Was a “The” originally, but they have since dropped it.
