Koen967, w Activision Blizzard Shares Xbox Game Pass Plans, Leaves Door Open for Diablo IV on Game Pass in 2024

They could give away the game for free for a short boost in players, but they need to do something about the endgame first. Or else they end up in the same position they are in now.

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

Microsoft upped the Gamepass price on the basis that it would allow for bigger titles. Honestly I think they are delivering on that with Starfield and Forza Motorsport amongst others. EA Play inclusion also adds value as does having the 2 out of the 3 most recent AC chapters. Ubisoft + can go suck a dick though, I want Valhalla and eventually Mirage on Gamepass.

Poutinetown, w Torn Away — Official Launch Trailer

The survival-based mechanism somewhat reminds me of This war of mine, though it seems to differ a lot in terms of storyline/graphics.

I think such games are very valuable ways to better understand the consequences of wars, which is especially relevant in the past few years.

While the traversal looks cool that would give me serious motion sickness.

remotelove, 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

For someone who doesn’t play consoles, what does that mean? A yearly subscription or something?

cm0002,

Game pass is monthly or yearly, there’s a PC only tier as well as the Ultimate tier which includes both PC and consoles as well as xCloud

Thanks. That’s gross.

TrustedChimp,

Aside from the whole not owning games things, it’s actually great you get well over 100 games for xbox and well over 100 more games for pc (with ultimate) including xbox game studios games from the day they release for like 20 bucks a month and if you decide you want to own a game that’s on gamepass digitally you get a discount on the purchase price

Ok, that sounds better. I really don’t play that many games so as long as I still have the option to straight-up buy the ones I do play, that is cool.

Rynelan,

Yes then it’s not for you. Game pass is more for the active players that play a lot of games. If you at least play and finish a game each month, even each 2 months then it’s simply cheaper to have Game Pass instead of buying the games (if you’re going to play new AAA on release day)

cm0002,

It’s a pretty good value if you play at least 1 AAA title every 3 months or 1 indie game a month. I’ve tried games I never would have bought (Some I didn’t like and I liked game pass even more for it, because now I’m not out 20-60+$ or having to research every game or make sure I play within refund limits) and it’s cratered my desire to sail the Gaming seas.

It’s kinda like the good days of Netflix, but for games, I’d get in and enjoy it while it lasts because we all know where it’ll end up eventually…

theskyisfalling,

It would be good if gamepass didn’t disrespect your HDD by creating directories that cannot be got rid of except by reformatting the entire fucking drive. There is no reason for it to do that -_-

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

Gamepass really abuses a bunch of “window features” to drm their games. On steam: folders and games, modding is easy, moving saves to GOG/Epic/etc is easy. In gamepass, it’s a nightmare.

If you’re lucky, there are 10-20 step tutorials of how to move save games from steam to gamepass and vice versa.

cm0002,

I’ve gotten permissions wrestled away from Windows for that folder, I just haven’t figured out how to get the entire Windows Store/Default Apps put back together again lmfaooo

wildginger,

If you cant afford games, its great.

You pay ~$60 for the year, if memory serves. Then you get to play any game on the service for free.

Any game you really liked, you can buy to add to your library whenever. But you dont feel bad about trying a game you arent sure you would enjoy, and you can also just burn an hour playing a game you know you would hate, just for shits and giggles.

Honestly its the smartest thing xbox has done in a while.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It’s a subscription service like Netflix or Hulu.

Unfortunately also games rotate because of licensing deals. Which is why Microsoft is buying studios, to reduce licensing deals since they “own” the property.

This being on meta, in itself, is kind of meta. Bit of VR-ception going on.

Very excited to play this!

vsh, w Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of October, 9, 2023

Shadows of doubt! That game unlocked some detective instinct deep inside of me.

HidingCat, w Memory Prices Rebound Due to Reduced Production, Increasing Demand

Welp, should I get some new SSDs before 11.11 or Black Friday then? XD

Thanks4Nothing, w Payday 2 has three times the Payday 3 players right now

We (Payday 2 Players) also racked up hours upon hours (I think I am around 1000 total) and they didn’t really give us anything for all that work. We got a underwhelming skin. A bare bones weapon, and some weapon charms …do they realize how hard it was to beat every heist on Deathwish without a hacker in the lobby? A Charm? For Real? Give me my deathwish mask back and I will play your new game

Thanks4Nothing,

Oh yeah…and voice chat. How you make a game that requires players to communicate without a voice chat option is beyond me. The pings are not enough.

thantik, (edited ) w Unity CEO John Riccitiello Steps Down After Pricing Blowup

He was already retiring. He planned on taking the fall for this obviously unpopular change, is getting his golden parachute for doing so - that way all the ire and hate will leave with him, and Unity manages to successfully move the overton window into bad changes, that somehow everyone is HAPPY about because they got the worse-changes first and they feel like “justice” has been had.

Reddit did the same fucking thing with Ellen Pao.

Introduced a whole bunch of bullshit, everyone got pissed at Ellen (an interim CEO) and then she took off and everyone was happy while being fed horse-shit because “justice” had been served…she was out of her…job that she was already intending on leaving. God, I hate that everyone are such suckers…

Godot.

That is all.

They really did just clone Smash Bros.

Fair enough.

orca, (edited ) w Meta Quest 3 review impressions - one of VR gaming's best options
@orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts avatar

I saw recent studies show that Facebook is no longer cool to younger generations, and the older generations are either not remotely interested in VR, and/or aren’t interested in Meta out of principle (security, ethics, etc). I know that’s hand-wavy and anecdotal, but I’m trying to gather who is going to buy these in big enough numbers to make them profitable. Probably just another vector that they want to hoard your data from.

@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

The worst thing about jagex is their management. They are so out of touch and only see runescape as something to squeeze money from. They should be happy they have generated as much revenue as they have from such an old game. Last I checked it was pulling in hundreds of millions in profit.

mindbleach,

From a game that looks like the Atari Jaguar got a modem.

Oh right, and the other one, which looks like the most anticipated MMO of 2009.
