I’ll believe it when I see it.

I mean even Skyrim ran pretty nice, till you started playing it long enough to start finding the bugs and jank. Of course, it helped that it had all the familiar jank from the previous games.

GrayBackgroundMusic, w In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam.

Went to the steam page. I had no idea what this game was. Never heard of it and the title doesn’t really do anything for me. So, a minus there. Reviews: Mixed. Minus there. The hero is named Jack and it’s high fantasy. That is the most generic name. Minus there. He looks like every other cookie cutter generic white guy main character. The only time he looks different than a movie star clone is the last second of the trailer. Nothing positive there. The hip hop music with high fantasy is not a good mix, IMO. It’s published by EA. Minus there. The dialog is very “I’m so edgy with my quips.” Minus there.

The villain designs are pretty good. The cinematic trailer is well done.

Reviews say it’s really demanding on hardware. Minus there.

Tons of negatives, a few neutrals, one or two positives. Yeah, this ain’t worth it.

ivanafterall,

The hero is named Jack

Worse. His name is Jak.

Jak from Jak and Daxter? Oh, no, boring milquetoast Jak from the soooper with-it-and-hip new wannabe-hit videogame, Immortals of Aveum™

Actually I don't remember whether that other Jak was any good either. Haven't played that since it was new 😅

FracturedEel,

I dont even think Jak talked I’m pretty sure it was all daxter

big_slap,

i think they gave him a voice in the second one

I swear, every third white male protagonist is named Jack.

Blamemeta,

Well, when the protag isn’t the important part, you try to make him less attention grabbing. Thus white male jack.

This can really work well, but holy fuck can it fall flat.

meant2live218,

I didn’t know this existed until I saw the Nextlander guys playing it, and even then I didn’t catch the name of the game.

Zero marketing means that unless the game is absolutely amazing, there will be no word of mouth and no buzz, leading to no one noticing the game at all.

That’s a really low bar NGL

I’m going to wait for launch and reviews for sure

boeman,

I was thinking the same thing. I’m sure launch will be a bit of a shit show, but at least we usually get some entertaining bugs.

FrankTheHealer, w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources

Do the NPCs in this game give anyone else a sort of uncanny valley feel

borth, w Star Citizen Funding crosses $600 million mark

There are stretch goals that go all the way to 65 million, and then it stops there. Since it’s obvious those goals were reached a LONG time ago, does anyone know if those are already in the game?

nailbar,

About half of them are in the game at this moment.

LordBelphegor, w BioWare lays off senior writing staff as part of its recent job cuts

do CEOs think AI is gonna fill in? lol

They don’t care about the quality as long as it’s passable most of these people are underpaid anyway. AAA setting the bar lower and lower is nothing new.

Plibbert, w Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game - Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer

Dude this movie is what gave me fear of clowns as a kid lol.

DrSleepless, w 2023 was the most watched Gamescom Opening Night Live in history. Viewership was up 66% over ONL 2022, and Gamescom had 320,000 attendees across the week in Cologne, Germany.

Starfield is why

I’m a little disappointed I was looking forward to Skyrim bugs in Space

The Giant Club space program could now actually send you to space; but there are no giants 😔

vaultdweller013,

I’m so glad to read such news. I do hope irl games conventions won’t die any time soon

regalia, w Armored Core VI peaks at 150K peak concurrent Steam players on day 1, making it the 4th biggest launch of 2023. It's also the second biggest From Software launch ever, second only to Elden Ring

I play almost every game genre, but mechs have always had zero interest to me personally

Sanctus, w In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam.
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah well, Armored Core 6 just released.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

There was another big release, too. I can’t remember what. Final Fantasy?

Competing with established titles requires a lot if marketing.

Spacellary,

This game (Immortals of Aveum) already had a lot of controversy when they announced the PC minimum requirements, including an RTX 2080. People knew something wasn’t right there (optimization seemed poor, game was made with “upscaling in mind” - aka “we didn’t do anything to optimize this other than adding FSR2/DLSS, good luck”). Releases and it’s worse than expected with mediocre graphical features and horrible performance, generic cookie cutter garbage.

123,

It’s just too good to stop playing

I see the npcs still have the signature Bethesda empty stare… is that a stylistic choice or do they just suck at face mocap?

PositiveNoise,
@PositiveNoise@kbin.social avatar

neither. They probably just haven't implemented default facial expressions yet (but probably have support for them).

Kolanaki, (edited )
!deleted6508 avatar

Do they even use facial mocap? Fallout 4’s best facial animations were all reserved for Preston Garvey, and they are so not very smooth, I always assumed they were done by hand.
