epicsninja, w Starfield overtakes Skyrim with concurrent Steam players

Reckon a lot more people are playing on Gamepass then on Steam.

Lazz45,

I do not know a single person IRL who has purchased this game (across multiple platforms). We all played and love to this day, Skyrim, FO3, FO:NV (my friends like FO4, it wasn’t for me personally, I found the story incredibly boring…the dogshit performance on release also never helped). So I am wondering what their gamepass numbers are vs. full purchases. Steam (the numbers cited in the article) would be purchases, but I would be interested one day to see the split of gamepass to purchase users

geosoco,

I'd bet a sizable portion of steam numbers aren't purchases either. AMD was running the promo such that anyone buying AMD hardware from like July onwards got a free copy.

Lazz45,

Actually a very fair point, and something that I do in fact find interesting is that it hasn’t breached FO4’s numbers. That game burned me so fucking hard lol. I bought that pile of shit at full price (last game I ever purchased at launch), and it ran SOOOOOO bad. Like less than 20 fps in any city bad. I tried to push through the framerate/bugs to get to the good and for me it just never came. I dropped that game after 1 playthrough and I have 0 desire at all to ever pick it up again. I have replayed skyrim (heavily modded at this point) and FO:NV (FO3 didnt work right on my W10 machine, i wonder if it works now with W11 and compatibility mode. I would replay that for sure), but I think with FO4 the charm had worn off. Playing a game that felt like oblivion [Not in a literal sense, but in the “its a bethesda RPG” sense] (with shitty quest writing) in the modern day at sub 20 fps for the price of $60 was one hell of a wakeup call.

So all of that is to say, I find it surprising that their new flagship has not beaten FO4’s numbers. Perhaps they burned a lot more people than just me?

ExploratrixLunae,

I'm playing Starfield on gamepass. Fallout 4 was similarly a wakeup call for me: I had pre-ordered it and was mostly disappointed by it. I occasionally try replaying it, but that disappointment sticks with me to this day. This is coming from someone whose first major gaming experience on PC was with Oblivion (which I still play to-date).

So yeah - I'm with you on not buying Starfield new because of FO4's poor showing. I am enjoying it well enough that I may buy it someday (kinda wish I had gotten a GPU bundle including it just because I've been ready to upgrade for a long time), but I'm not in any rush to do so. I just knew I wasn't going to be as interested in it as I was with other Bethesda games of the past.

As an aside, I hope FO3 works better for you these days. A year or two back, Bethesda patched the Steam version to remove the Games for Windows Live requirement, which had foiled many attempted replays of mine (particularly when I made the move to Linux). Now it runs perfectly well.

Prewash_Required, w Atari acquires massive Atari archive (AtariAge) after revealing a 'new' 2600 that takes cartridges

Sadly, this may mean the days of homebrew programming for the 2600 are at an end. AtariAge is where all those programmers sold their wares, along with homebrews for other platforms like Intellivision and ColecoVision. I’ll have to head back over there for the first time in a while to see what they say about it.

Current Atari is only Atari in name, they’re a completely different company.

geosoco,

From a hardware perspective, that's been true since just after the 1983 crash, when it was sold to Jack Tramiel's company -- even before the Lynx and Jaguar. The software side was split into Atari games which has an even longer history of being passed around.

ShadowCat, w Mario Kart Tour updates end next month
@ShadowCat@lemmy.world avatar

With the Switch 2 rumours and 8 Deluxe ending it’s DLC soon I imagine it won’t be long before MK9, maybe even a launch title for the Switch 2 depending on when it launches

    True Mario kart 8 is peak Mario kart. I feel like they’re either going to keep adding content to it or do something new with the franchise like double dash did.

    Yeah tbh, what else does MK and Super Smash Bros have to offer besides a bigger roaster?

    Nintendo nailed it with both titles.

    I can see a new launch game for the switch 2 in the works.
    It would certainly makes sense.

    Paranomaly,
    @Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is the mobile game rather than one for console. There could be one for Switch 2, but they haven’t even finished the DLC pass for 8 yet so it’s likely a ways off.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    True. Maybe not launch game but late game.

    Paranomaly,
    @Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is the mobile game, not the Switch one. They’re still launching periodic DLC as part of the pass for the latter.

    ShadowCat,
    @ShadowCat@lemmy.world avatar

    There’s only 1 more wave for the booster pass until it’s done and that’s confirmed to be coming before the end of 2023

    Yes! I was right to wait for the complete edition to buy it

    I really hope the nerf to sea spider is significant. I’m stuck on it soo bad that I stopped playing.

    Have you tried dual Gatling guns? They stagger very reliably and the damage output is nuts

    Ravenzfire,
    @Ravenzfire@lemmy.ml avatar

    The key for me was using the pile bunker. The charge attack chunks the spider. And then I went with reverse joint legs. You want to stay right under it as much as possible in the first phase and those legs help greatly with that. Fit high stagger shoulder weapons and whatever you want for the other arm. Then in the second phase the legs allow you to stay in the air much longer and you want to focus on stying above it. Just keep pounding it with that pile bunker. Took me 2 or 3 tries after I figured out that setup

    platypode,
    @platypode@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Pile bunker is genuinely my favorite weapon in the game. That charge shot is a pain to land but there’s nothing better than staggering a chunky enemy and just gut punching them into oblivion.

    The South Park games are fun, I liked Stick of Truth more than Fractured But Whole but they're both enjoyable and funny if you like that kind of humor

    Can confirm it's the same on Proton / Linux. This game keeps being a joke on the technical side.

    spezz, w Paradox of Hope, a Metro-style VR game, has been removed from the Steam Store following a copyright claim

    I fucking hate modern copyright laws, but NGL, this is a reasonable copyright claim-- the trailer has so many elements that,while pribably original, look lifted from Metro. There is no reason that he cant be in the SETTING, but the monsters, mechanics, lighter, and the fucking ad poster looks lifted from Metro.

    @azalty@jlai.lu avatar

    High on Life is cool but seems defo overpriced and still has unfixed bugs that can brick your save.

    I like to find bugs and do out of bounds in games but here it just broke a lot of things.

    CorrodedCranium,
    @CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

    That’s always a shame. I wonder if there is a mod out there to remedy some of those issues or if they are still rolling out updates.

    @azalty@jlai.lu avatar

    The last update was 6 months ago on Steam, I wouldn’t get my hopes up steamdb.info/app/1583230/patchnotes/

    Rather than nerf some overpowered weapons, they seem to have buffed some forgotten-about weapons.

    Well the Curtis rifle is hardly forgotten-about, it’s just that high ROF weapons that can charge are super tedious to wield in this dual-wielding meta.

    The issue is not open world. The issue is bioware. At this point the only thing that could get me interested in ME or DA again is if someone else gets the rights to the IP.

    bjoern_tantau, w Astarion's voice actor (Neil Newbon) is doing a let's play of Baldur's Gate 3
    @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

    I hope they get the audio problems sorted. They do hilarious shit but Tom’s robotic voice cutting out all the time makes it a hard listen.

    BTW, they had the Narrator, Amelia Tyler, as a guest for their third stream. She’s a friend of Neil.

    Cavemanfreak,

    He has pinned a comment on the first video saying audio won’t be a problem going forward. Not sure if that’s for the videos already out, or for a new batch of videos though, haven’t seen the first batch yet.

    Nice, thanks.

    bouh, w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

    The article is quite misleading and one should see the interview itself rather than to rely on this article.
