Pratai, w Peter Molyneux is ready to disappoint us again with his latest game, a blockchain-based business sim

But why though?

echo64,

Blockchain anything was how you got investor funding in 2017 and no one was gonna fund a Peter Molyneux game without it

ech,

Your phrasing suggests blockchain is only being used here to facilitate an actual interesting game, which I can guarantee is not true.

echo64,

Nah, no suggestion of that. Just talking about what investors were spending money on in 2017

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

No he’s suggesting the game would be so shit that buzzwords were the only way it could get any runway.

ech,

My point, albeit overly obtuse, was that the game is blockchain. He didn’t patch on the idea just to get funding.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

This game in particular, yes, but Molyneux certainly could make non-blockchain games.

Pons_Aelius,

I would say, being even more pedantic, that the game uses a blockchain (which is just a different type of database) to record in game digital asset ownership. This game could have been made with a normal db taking that roll and would probably run no differently.

He is mentioning and using a blockchain over a normal db for no other reason that it probably helped to secure funding in 2017 as it was a massive tech buzzword at the time.

ech, (edited )

It could, sure, but I’m positive the only reason he’s making it is because of blockchain. I seriously doubt Pete was rolling around a game idea for online real estate separately and just threw blockchain in as a way to get funding.

It makes them money off of desperate or in turn grifting people, I suppose. Just like all of crypto.

merthyr1831, w Yes, Phantom Liberty and patch 2.0 really are Cyberpunk 2077's 'last big updates' and it's finally time to start the sequel, director confirms

generally game studios do choose to begin their next game after releasing their previous game from open beta, yes.

coco, w Embracer and Sony Are Removing Every Trace of Knights of the Old Republic Remake They Can

Why ? Too disneyesque for Sony taste ?

Aurenkin,

What do you mean? I thought the KotOR series had a good story and interesting characters.

XbSuper, w Yes, Phantom Liberty and patch 2.0 really are Cyberpunk 2077's 'last big updates' and it's finally time to start the sequel, director confirms

So when’s the next sale for ps5? I still won’t pay full price, but might pick it up for $40 or so.

Same, waiting for a discount on the definitive edition or whatever before finally picking this up.

maxprime, w Counter Strike 2 is surprisingly awful on Steam Deck right now

Are competitive FPSs intended for handhelds?

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Maybe, maybe not. But I think people expect a game made by Valve to run on gaming hardware made by Valve, even if it’s only for casual playing.

dumdum666,

Well it runs - just not as fast as you want. I personally would never want to play those competitive shooters that need pixel perfect aim on a handheld console… but that’s just me.

schmidtster,

Ah yes, I totally expect Nintendo games to play on all their hardware like a 3ds…

schmidtster,

Sure, but they also make mobile games, do you expect hose to play on the switch too…?

BolexForSoup, (edited )
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

asdfasfasdf

schmidtster, (edited )

No, a 3ds to switch is a pretty apt comparison about a modern pc to a steam deck actually.

There is absolutely no reason why anyone would assume this should be optimized for a mobile device. You would be limiting its potential in PC, if they can’t provide the same experience across all devices, they aren’t going to. It’s a competitor shooter for one thing….

Where am I comparing apples to oranges…? I’m using different approaches to show that not everygame a company designs is going to be playable on all devices, it’s NEVER, been that way. So why would it suddenly change just for this one case…?

BolexForSoup, (edited )
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

sadfasfasdf

schmidtster, (edited )

How is any of that relevant to a company being able to design games for what they want…?

But I will address this point. Yes it would limit what they could do to the PC version, look at what happened to coop for BG3 on the series S, sometimes devices just can’t do everything….

schmidtster,

Where am I reaching?

I also never put words in your mouth. I’ve used different methods to describe how companies make games for other hardware all the time.

Why should this game be different? Are you going to answer any of my questions or are you just going to continue to deflect with these endless fallacies?

In terms of computer power, a Steam Deck is basically a mid-range laptop. Go buy a Dell Inspiron for about the same price and how does It run CS2?

Venutianxspring,

How is that the same? This is a PC game running on a device meant to run PC games. Apples to apples

schmidtster,

A severely limited device, like a 3ds compared to a switch even….

Venutianxspring,

I’m glad you’re making it apparent that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Sure you can’t compare it to a two thousand dollar PC with top of the line hardware, but it’s plenty capable, affordable and you can take it anywhere. They’re fucking awesome and have made PC gaming accessible to lots of people

schmidtster,

Yes it’s an awesome device and that’s not what was being discussed…

News flash, companies design games for different systems all the time, why should this one game be any different…?

Venutianxspring,

You literally just said it’s a severely limited device, which it definitely isn’t. You’ve just done a complete 180 with your argument.

schmidtster,

Compared to modern PCs… my argument hasn’t changed at all.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

I think people expect a game made by Valve to run on gaming hardware made by Valve, even if it’s only for casual playing.

Yes. Why else did CSGO get controller and gyro support? While Valve did not promise anything in that regard, there was the expectation that CS2 would basically be fully optimized for Deck. Maybe it will still happen. The “final” release is nothing but an open beta.

OrekiWoof,

To add to this, the expectation is because they basically killed off CSGO for CS2 as an upgrade, so it should have the same and more functionalities.

Yes you can still turn on CSGO from settings but it’s worthless without servers.

tehmics,

Yeah we should be able to play half life Alyx on the steam deck too!!

tdawg,
@tdawg@lemmy.world avatar

Sure but they haven’t cared about the state of their games in ages. Iike I’m all for pushing to get them to fix it and all, but think it’s weird that people are surprised. Especially when the vast majority of their focus has been on steam for the last forever

Well, I have seen some very crazy shit with Metroid Prime Hunters for DS.

EDIT: Like tthis

tamiya_tt02,
@tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world avatar

I play Destiny 2 on my Asus ROG Ally almost daily, and have played lots of PVE and Gambit, but hate Crucible. It’s really powerful, so I think it’s possible to play competitive games on a handheld if you’re comfortable with using a controller. Of course, you can plug it into a monitor and use the XG Mobile to get a decent graphics card. So yeah, I think a handheld can hold up to a gaming PC if you temper your expectations. You’re not going to be playing at 4k, 120 fps, but instead 720p 50-60 fps. Good enough for casual play all the time.

lud,

I haven’t played destiny 2 in a long while but isn’t that game far from competitive?

tamiya_tt02,
@tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world avatar

It has competitive modes, but I don’t know how well it would do at tournament play. I’m not a big fan of PVP, but I’m pretty sure the Ally is powerful enough to play most of those games if you lower the graphics to get a nice FPS. I just cited Destiny because it’s what I’ve been playing lately.

I prefer the term “unintentional mechanic”.

TropicalDingdong,

“explored feature”

lester,

“Happy little accident”

moistclump,

I feel like the talking factor will be genitals right? If there’s genitals or a textured bum there’s no way it wasn’t on purpose.

DLSchichtl,

Uncensored nudity is already in the game

Aurenkin, w Mirror's Edge - Rainy Mod Project

Amazing. Looks like the perfect excuse to play this incredible game again.

MrMcGasion, w Eldritch fishing horror Dredge delays Iron Rig paid expansion into 2024

I recently played through Dredge, and enjoyed it so much I went ahead and spent the time to unlock all the achievements. I saw the news of this delay on Steam, and was really glad that pretty much all the comments there were praising the studio for not pushing something incomplete out just to hit a deadline, and encouraging them to take all the time they need.

Schaedelbach, w Peter Molyneux is ready to disappoint us again with his latest game, a blockchain-based business sim

It’s all just buzzwordsalad at this point.

Who the fuck genuinely cares about a digital plot of land? The only reason stuff like this attracts people is the hope to make money, and therefore only people who only care about the monetary aspect play games like Legacy.

I highly suggest the YouTube channel “Jauwn”! The dude plays nft games “frome the perspective of a gamer”, so he tries to give those games a fair shot (although he is clearly biased against nfts in general). To no one’s surprise each and every nft game is just a grift to mine money in the pockets of idiots who think they are smarter than the rest.

mojo, w War Thunder user leaks restricted military documents for AH-64D Apache Longbow

I think this makes it leak from the forums

Turns out baiting nerds into internet arguments is significantly more effective then foreign op agents infiltrating the dod.

Dangdoggo, w War Thunder user leaks restricted military documents for AH-64D Apache Longbow

This is getting outrageous. Do you think they'll hit a 15 streak before playing War Thunder is court marshallable?

Corkyskog,
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is War Thunder even a good game? The only time I hear about it is after these leaks. Then it’s like viral marketing and I think “this game must be awesome if people are committing crimes to get minor Stat changes” then I forget about it for a few months until the next leak.

yata,

It is a free pay-to-win shooter. It is designed to get certain types of people addicted to it, to most other people it is boring as hell.

bjoern_tantau, (edited ) w Gothic Classic Switch Port | Release Trailer
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Let’s see how it is received. That game is not modern-gamer friendly.

But the even more important question: Did they keep the In Extremo concert in?

Edit: Read through the YouTube comments. Apparently it’s littered with bugs and the concert is gone. So I guess it’s a little bit true to the original release.

People should boycott buying games from such companies.
