doleo, w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

For what it’s worth, I am one of these people. I’d already watched a couple of streamers play random sidequests, but when I saw the early game I just couldn’t stomach playing any further.

I have had one since hour 12, I’ve changed ships multiple times, been all over, still following. It’s basically a space buddy now, I’m on hour 96

Meh, wake me up when they continue the tradition of open sourcing old engines.

bingbong,

Unity would like to know your location

I bet if Bethesda had never bought iD they would still be doing this.

citrusface, w The Elder Scrolls VI will skip PS5 and isn’t coming until at least 2026

Why is this news?

Did anyone think after Starfield this would be coming out any time soon at all? Youre kidding yourself if you did.

Weirdfish, w The Elder Scrolls VI Is at Least Five Years Away, and Is Likely to Launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S Only

I’ve always been a fan, but no way I’m buying a second system just for Bethesda games.

Yes, I bought a switch to play Zelda, but that’s where I draw the line.

Skyrim has released on basically every platform that exists, I have to assume Starfield, and ES6, will eventually release on PS5. That is just too much money to leave on the table.

On the other hand, Demon Souls was spawned out of a failed PS exclusive to go head to head against Oblivion, and I’d dare say the souls series have given more to gaming than the past decade of Bethesda releases.

ID Software are Vulkan wizards. Absolute mad lads.

mojo,

I know you’re talking about the rendering software, but vulkan wizard sounds like a dope DnD class

bingbong,

DnD x Star Trek

The crossover I never realized I needed

commissar_whiskers, w Devs on Unity Runtime Fee: "The trust is gone forever"

Didn’t they see Hasbro trying the same thing? Sure, DnD itself is doing fine, but they lost the trust of third party publishers.

Gullible,

Could I get a digestible version of the dnd drama? I could never parse what was happening.

DnD 5e had a license for use that allowed 3rd party companies to make stuff for the game following specific rules, and they did so which of course helped with increasing the popularity of the brand. This license existed due to the backlash from players and 3rd party developers who did not like the 4e licensing which was ridiculously restrictive.

Then WotC/Hasbro decided they wanted more control and put out a draconian revision and also tried to invalidate the existing license using questionable legal logic that wouldn't stand up in court, but would be cost prohibitive for the 3rd party companies to fight in court. This revision also included licensing costs that would drive 3rd party companies out of business. Then they did a revision that tried to make creating a virtual tabletop that could be used with DnD a violation to try and corner the market for WotC's completely non-existent virtual tabletop.

Basically they tried to stop doing the thing they had in place for like a decade to milk an unrealistically high amount of money out of companies that were working with them and tried to force this on extremely short notice. So same thing as reddit and now Unity are doing.

Expect the next version of DnD to be a walled garden again like 4e was and most likely fade out of the public view again.

AngryCommieKender,

The true irony here is that TSR went bankrupt because they tried to mess with the community content licenses that were basically gentleman’s agreements at the time, allowing WotC to purchase D&D in the first place with 3rd edition. I hope they sell the property to someone that understands how to run that golden goose, without expecting unlimited growth.

friek,

Paizo. Been playing Pathfinder for years.

AngryCommieKender,

Paizo wouldn’t exist for over a decade when TSR sold D&D to WotC. Try again.

commissar_whiskers,

And it’s not just me right? This is similar. Revising existing licensing to squeeze more money out of people who already use their back end.

With the amount of high quality demanding games coming out, I’m 100% sure my 6800XT will be able to play what I want until then.

Serinus, w Unity reportedly considering cap on hugely controversial per-install fees

Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it.

De_Narm, w Diablo 4 Twitch viewership continues to drop as Diablo 3 overtakes it

Knowing Blizzard, the fix will be to end D3 support.

Rouxibeau,

Yep. They’re gonna Overwatch that shit. And everything else from now on.

Fosheze,

Look at what they just did for the new D2R ladder season. There were literally no patches at all. They just reset the ladder. It’s not like there are any glaring problems cough cough mosiac cough cough that need to be fixed or anything.

Swim,

that statement is seriously dystopian

blogorg,

And extremely Blizzard

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

That’s so Raven Blizzard.

geissi,

Really sad what became of Blizzard.

They provided Diablo II (2001) with updates until 2016.
Starcraft (1998) became freeware in 2017 and received patches until 2022.

Pratai, w The Elder Scrolls VI will skip PS5 and isn’t coming until at least 2026

They’re going to skip releasing their game on a console that outsells their own 2:1?

That’s some business savvy worthy of an Elon nod right there.

dumdum666,

MS does not care - they want to increase their marketshare

It rhymes even

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

Actual data shows it closer to 4:3.

Quentinp, w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission
@Quentinp@lemmy.ca avatar

If I use a sample size of me and use my library of a measurement, it’s probably more than 25% of games I haven’t even launched let alone completing the first mission.

jaycifer,

Sure, same here, but how many of those did you pay $70 for less than two weeks after it released?

Quentinp,
@Quentinp@lemmy.ca avatar

Possibly a few (though to not finish the first quest would be unusual).

muddybulldog,

Undoubtedly a significant number of these non-achievers are Gamepass subscribers.

EveningNewbs,

People who have never launched the game aren’t counted in these statistics.

They all want to be that which they cannot become… ans we can’t become that either cause we don’t have a PhD in PoE.

SilverFlame,

Titan Quest was pretty good, and I think it used all of the same sound effects.

Grim Dawn! Successor to TQ and measurably better than any other arpg on the market (in my opinion).

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

I didn’t enjoy how the “correct” way to play was to spend your points on stats instead of fun abilities.

Last Epoch scratches the ARPG itch for me and has a lot of customization (each skill has its own talent tree that can change how it behaves.)

SilverFlame,

I enjoyed Grim Dawn up until the last boss. I haven’t played any of the DLC though, it’s worth going back to it.

A new Expansion is in the works too! Crate Entertainment really cares about their game and it shows, not many games out there with that kind of long-term support

RadButNotAChad, w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

I really wanted to but my game kept crashing like right after the part where you create a character. Maybe that has something to do with it.

librecat, w Your Minecraft account might be gone forever unless you act now

If you don’t want to migrate to Microsoft check out minetest/mineclone for a free and open source alternative.

insomniac_lemon, (edited )

Tried it, unfortunately the (tedious) things that made me disinterested in MC were carried over (not wowed by other options, either).
