kadu, w Super Mario Bros. Wonder feels like a modern Mario World
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so happy they’re moving away from the “New Super Mario” formula.

Too bad they’re still going nuts on “everything is made out of plastic” look for the 2D games, but everything else is looking to be a major return to the World formula and that’s great

Minnels,

I like mario games but the “new super mario” games are just boring for me so I have high hopes of Wonder.

Potatos_are_not_friends, w Activision Blizzard Shares Xbox Game Pass Plans, Leaves Door Open for Diablo IV on Game Pass in 2024

As a person who bought Diablo 4 for full price, I highly recommend everyone wait until the gamepass version.

Season 2 updates look great.

But I like to remind everyone that Diablo 3 only got “fixed” after the necro expansion and a few years of updates.

Nacktmull, w CD Projekt Spent Roughly $125 Million Turning Cyberpunk 2077 Around Post-Launch
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

How can that be so extremely expensive? I’m sure that money did not go into salaries for the devs, so where did it go?

FunnyUsername,
@FunnyUsername@lemmy.world avatar

Into the marketing to tell everyone how it’s better now

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

Now that sounds realistic.

Vox,

it includes how much they spent on making the DLC and marketing for it. Around 2/3rds of the money still went into fixing/reworking the game from what I can tell

mcc,

Why do you think it didn’t go into devs? Maybe you are being cynical, but managers and CEOs are definitely devs too, they need their extra motivation to convince themselves the game is gooder.

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

Are you sure? I never heard anyone refer to CEOs and managers as “devs” before.

mcc,

I am not being serious.

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

I see :)

funkless_eck,

headline number is only the equivalent of ~200-300 tech employee salaries for 3 years, less for junior, more for senior, less for designers, marketers, more for Directors, VPs, Execs…

tdawg,

It’s funny that companies think we give a shit how expensive it is for them to operate. Just make something good. That’s all that matters

Blackmist,

Idris Elba doesn’t work for free.

Marketing isn’t cheap either. Can’t rely on word of mouth when that word is “shite”. Fixing the code would have been relatively cheap compared to fixing their reputation.

FunnyUsername,
@FunnyUsername@lemmy.world avatar

Lemmy is nonsense. I got down voted for saying marketing lol

Sol0WingPixy, w Payday 2 has three times the Payday 3 players right now

As someone who dipped their toe into Payday 2 and is beginning to swim in Payday 3, I’m not shocked. Payday 3 is missing a lot of quality of life features that Payday 2 has, and has a lot less content. Plus, Payday 2 has been around forever and Payday 3 is fundamentally different enough that a fair fraction of folks probably just won’t ever feel any need to switch.

That said, I think Payday 3 has a better skeleton that Payday 2, especially for new players like me, and I’m excited to see it grow (and become something more than the minimum shippable product) over time.

JJROKCZ,

Eventually they’ll just force everyone to switch by shutting off payday 2

Your forgetting what company this is. Yes, theyre their for the money, but they’re genuinly devoted to making their fan base happy. They would never pull something like that.

Zekas,

I wouldn’t bank on that. Sooner or later every company has a fall from grace, it’s what capitalism does.

Rampsquatch,

They are a company that exists to make a profit, they aren’t your friend.

crazyman, w Warfare MMO Foxhole is adding naval combat complete with huge multi-person ships

“Multi-person” doesn’t do it justice. The battleships are designed to be run with a deck crew of 16+. Submarines 8, and destroyers 12+.

It’s going to be a major task of coordination for these things to be run. I’ve seen players have a hard time coordinating tanks, and that’s usually just a driver and a gunner.

tal,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

There’s that game with untextured polygonal graphics about naval combat that’s aimed towards having several players running a carrier. Dammit, what’s the name of that?

googles

Carrier Command 2.

Holy shit this looks like fun. Now I just need sixteen friends lol.

newthrowaway20, w Assassin's Creed Nexus: Built for VR / Meta Quest 2 & Meta Quest 3

Okay, I know it’s been a while since I played assassin’s Creed, but I could have sworn the original story of the games was a dude being forced into a VR machine and becoming one of his ancestors?

baggachipz, w Activision Blizzard do not have plans to put Modern Warfare III or Diablo IV into Game Pass this year but once the deal closes they expect to start working with Xbox and add the games to Games Pass

And that’s when I will play them. I ain’t paying an entry fee to a microtransaction farm.

Rosco, w A heroic Starfield modder just straight-up deleted those repetitive temple 'puzzles' from the game

So you need to remove entire gameplay segments in order to make this crap somewhat enjoyable? Jesus.

BruceTwarzen,

Someone had to fix their horrible UI on day one.

lemmyvore,

Are you new to Bethesda games or it has just been a while? 🙂

I remember starting Skyrim for the first time and making it as far as the character selection screen (well, after spending a few hours fixing the no-voices bug) at which point I went wtf is this crap and went looking for mods.

amio,

Maybe I was just less jaded in 2011 but was Skyrim ever this bad? I even enjoyed Fallout 4 - you know... for what it is.

lemmyvore,

The original vanilla Skyrim was pretty terrible. Don’t get me wrong it was playable but it was a very forgettable and unimpressive game. The low quality assets, the bugs, the half-assed talent trees, the uninspired and unfinished quest lines, the dumb AI, the barren ugly towns and landscapes etc. Just think about all the things you have to fix nowadays with mods to play it properly, nevermind adding new stuff.

explodicle,

The lack of spellmaking was absolutely heartbreaking for fans of the series.

BumpingFuglies,

Incorrect. Vanilla, unmodded Skyrim is one of the best games of all time, despite the issues. Mods just bring it from a 9/10 to an 11/10.

See? I can voice my opinions as if they’re objective fact, too.

lemmyvore,

But it is facts In talking about. Nobody in their right mind will pretend there weren’t bugs, or that the quests or talent trees or crafting or alchemy were well made, or that the AI was good etc.

All you’re saying is that you liked the game in spite of all that — either that or you can’t even remember how bad it was before the mods.

Skyrim’s greatest virtue will always be how moddable it is. But that still doesn’t mean that Bethesda put out a great game in 2011.

BumpingFuglies,

Nobody’s said the game was flawless, but I, at least, never experienced any bugs or design issues that detracted from the overall incredible experience.

Nobody in their right mind will pretend there weren’t bugs, or that the quests or talent trees or crafting or alchemy were well made

You’re conflating facts with opinion. I thought the quests and perk trees were, for the most part, very well made.

Endorkend,
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

I was hit with the bouncy horse bug the very first time I booted up Skyrim.

Blamemeta,

Dima’s Memories comes to mind

GentlemanLoser,

Someone yesterday said they don’t buy Bethesda games because they’re good at launch, instead they buy them because the modding community is so prolific.

Paying $60-70 for a game that requires teams of unpaid volunteers to make it playable after launch.

I bet Bethesda LOVES that guy.

Zoot_,

This is why I bought it really. I never expected it to be good. But always enjoy what the community can do.

Iapar,

But doesn’t the mods take time? So buying it on a sale later would be better because it is cheaper then and has more content/the content you want?

Zoot_,

Mods exist now and have since day one. They’ve already made the game much better, but you are right they arent great yet cause they dont have the GECK. I do like to have a sort of “vanilla” playthrough before super mods. I didn’t clarify that.

ChronosWing,

Some of the QOL mods out are great. Loving the UI mods for inventory.

Aermis,

Yeah kinda. I bought it to play the stock game with a few tweaks. But when creation kit comes out I’ll be back. And then again. And again.

People have thousands of hours into skyrim. You think that game has more than 100 hours of content? It’s years of going back and enjoying mods and the community surrounding them.

Yeah Bethesda profits off it. But you’d be surprised how many people pirated the game, eventually just buying the “goty” edition on sale.

Seasm0ke,

Tbf vanilla Skyrim had more than 100 hours of content, just not story driven. Back when it came out I played well over that on PS3 in a single save with no mods. I explored every dragon shrine and collected all the priest masks in that playthrough. I did loot every damm vase though and inventory mgmt was slow. I got crafting up to 100 naturally, etc. Then made new characters eventually. Im sure I spent more than 300 hours over the years before I went to PC and installed mods

Aermis,

Fair enough. You know what I was trying to say. I’m over 130 hours right now on my first playthrough on starfield with no story mods just ui

dukepontus,

Modders generally only make mods for games that they are enthausiastic for. Its not a given that Starfield will have a modding scene on par with Skyrim.

Zoot_,

No, not a given you are right. But regardless whether its on par with skyrim I’m interested in what they do the same way I was with fallout 4 despite not thinking that game was particularly good myself.

dan1101,

I’ve had 130 hours of fun, still tons to do, and have no idea what temples are. I think I already got my money’s worth.

If temples are needlessly tedious I wouldn’t hesitate to mod them out.

Draedron,

How did you get around how empty the game is? I played a few hours but it is just so empty. Being in a city just means either quick travelling or walking through 100s of meters without any interesting npc or anything at all. I felt skyrim did it much better.

Cethin,

Most people have talked about how empty things are by talking about the planets. I feel like that part feels too full if anything. They aren’t empty enough to give it character. The same goes for almost every other locations. They’re so full of junk that they’re empty of character.

dan1101,

I played hundreds of hours of Elite Dangerous, Starfield is crowded by comparison. The universe is mostly empty and I don’t mind that in a game.

ChronosWing,

Do what? Anytime I’ve walked through a new city I immediately get bogged down with side quests from every other NPC.

Ataraxia,

I am waiting for official mod support to make it into a real game. There are so many awesome mods and I’ve tried a few but I’m too lazy to manually install them. Also I’m so not going to go through the storyline amount 9 times…

Tranus,

Factorio has a mod manager built in. It can browse, download, install mods all right there. It even syncs mods to save files and checks for updates. Factorio mods have better support than most games do. I really wish some other developers would put that kind of effort into mods. Just think of what, say, Minecraft could be if it had that.

Cethin,

Likewise the Paradox launcher has pretty good mod support. I think you have to add mods externally, but you can create profiles and things where one profile could be for The World of Darkness games and another could be for Game of Thrones, or whatever. You can easily swap between them without any trouble.

Cethin,

Many of them can be installed using Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus mods. It helps. Still, the mods can only do so much until mod tools release.

theragu40,

Somewhere in the vast chasm between “these are the best gameplay element ever conceived” and “this crap cannot be enjoyable with these left in” lies the actual description of their impact for a normal person.

They are perhaps marginally tedious. It bothered one modder enough that he modded them out with a mod that has about 7600 unique downloads. It bothered millions of others so little that they…just played the game anyway.

1984, w Todd Howard says Starfield was 'made to be played for a long time,' but a month after launch I'm already drifting away
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I had a feeling this would be a very overhyped game…

Centillionaire,

This is the most crybaby thing to complain about. Reminds me of the reviews on Steam that are “I do not recommend” (this player has 3,432 hours logged)

ech, (edited )

The state of video games is wild to see. People will play a hundred hours of a game and say it’s lacking. Players expect endless content and it’s honestly unhealthy for gaming at large.

smeg,

It’s completely unnecessary as well. We are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to video games, I pick up more for free than I have time to play, and with services like gamepass, offers like humble bundle, and the ever-present steam sales, there’s no reason to ever have to fork out big money for a game you feel you need to play a hundred hours in just to feel you’ve got your money’s worth. If you don’t like it after a few hours then just move on to one of the myriad games in your backlog and you’ll soon forget the boring one.

theodewere, w New Report Makes Disturbing Allegations Against The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Developer
@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

reportedly enforcing uncompensated overtime, allegedly trying to pay staff below minimum wage, and a toxic work environment cultivated by an alleged abusive leadership

nice work environment

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

Damn so like Chucklefish and the KSP devs.

lenninscjay,

Wait, is that why KSP2 sucked?

WarmSoda,

I’m under the impression that the original KSP team left a long time ago.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

And the first one before they brought in unpaid devs.

Appoxo, w Season 5: Reckoning Trailer | Halo Infinite
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Looked neat. I will take another look on reveal.

Murvel, w New Report Makes Disturbing Allegations Against The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Developer

Hardly surprising and it fits the scenario: a relatively small indie dev studio with only small-mid sized games under their belt with leadership deciding to buy into one of the most expensive IP available. Now, not only do they have a publisher looming over their work but are also under serious financial pressure to perform as well as expectation of a huge fan base plus promising a AAA sized game.

The leadership simply bit off far more than they could chew and panic set in, resulting in cut corners everywhere.

End result was a predictable disaster. Could have been avoided with smarter/better leadership. Clearly they didn’t think much of their dev team.
