HorreC, w Diablo 4 Season 2 will put fun before balance, but "we want every build to be viable"
@HorreC@kbin.social avatar

Isnt this the end they did on D3 and it made it just a flood of huge numbers and nothing was fun, nothing was this one drop can break the game for your build. If everything gets you there, getting there isnt a challenge. I mean I like ARPGs and I like when they have those moments like can I make it thru this fight. This dosent sound like that. But it also sounds like they are not dealing with the grind issue, that I thought a lot of their players were complaining of. And the grind here was for leveling not for gear (if I understand correctly).

Anticorp,

I think the D3 model is fun. I was actually disappointed at how different D4 is, once I got through the storyline. I do agree that the grind is too great. I basically stopped playing after I finished the storyline. I tried a couple of different builds after increasing the world tier, ran out of gold and got stuck with a build I didn’t enjoy, and quit logging on. It’s worth noting that I’m just a casual player who would create a new character each season in D3, get to GR100ish, and then get bored and stop until the next season.

Well if you could fix it what would you wanna see? I figure you are the demo they are trying to get a hold of for the longest, the hardcore players some times can be whales, but the mtx on the everyday nerds brings in the good seasonal money. I think that the grind shouldnt be there at all, yeah the leveling should slow but the rates I saw were wow levels of grind for no real gains, sure you could place a node or two but I didnt see those being build defining (yet?), I play for the gear, sets or what ever, when I can finally spec out that uber break the fricken game build and then maybe farm up some gold for trading.

The MMO side of this game kinda makes tainting the world areas hard but they could offer dungeons that go odd places or something like candy on the map that you see once or twice in 8 hours. But for real, what would you like to see?

Rip. Shadow Gambit has been pretty fun so far. Not a bad game to end it on I suppose.

Nioxic, w Eurogamer and Starfield, why our review will be late.

TLDR: didnt receive review codes until today

Also, review embarge is in 2 days

conciselyverbose,

I could almost see the "digital foundry can't share it" as not giving their review outlets preferential treatment over everyone else (because the technical breakdown is a separate thing), but the timeline is just not anywhere near sufficient, especially for a game of this scope.

StarkestMadness,

I understand that Beth delayed the review codes, but I don’t quite understand why. The subtext of this article seems to suggest that they expect higher reviews from other outlets. Is that the case?

conciselyverbose,

I'm kind of reading it like the Europe team did kind of a shitty job, considering they said some places got codes from the American team.

It's generally a hard balance to strike on when it's good enough for reviewers to get their hands on it with enough time to actually provide meaningful evaluations (because they genuinely are fixing shit up to and through launch. This is the same reason it's hard for reviews to provide a lot of information on general bugginess. They also play a lot of unfinished stuff that's actually cleaned up before launch). But there's no reason to give different reviewers codes at different times. It sounds like different divisions and one fucking up.

DrSleepless, w Starfield leaker facing a 12 year prison sentence

But mostly because he stole a bunch of stuff

RxBrad,
@RxBrad@lemmings.world avatar

Yep. Steal over $2500 worth of stuff, get up to 12 years of prison. Them’s the rules.

This had nothing to do with him streaming the game. (Though the fact he did it using a username based on his actual name might’ve gotten him caught)

MajesticSloth,
@MajesticSloth@lemmy.world avatar

Also doesn’t help that of the three guns they found at his home, one of them was supposedly stolen.

As someone who grew up on snes RPGs this game looks sick. Glad it got good reviews.

Mandy, w Starfield Global Release Times and PC Specs Revealed

At this point companys really must be increasing requirements just because, aint no way something that looks like starfield needs that much ram

whiskers,

That’s not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We’ll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

Mandy,

i mean, its bethesda, yo you really expect any kind of optimization ? and at launch at that? its a sad state of affairs but alas, that is how tripl a is nowadays

Dr_Cog,
@Dr_Cog@mander.xyz avatar

16gb isn’t really a lot of RAM nowadays, though

Mandy,

it totally is, im not getting old, you’re getting old

Apeeksiht,

I was playing elden ring last year with ram usage around 9gb to 10gb that too on 1080p

entropicshart,

You should try booting up Icarus - 32gb get filled up as if you’re using a floppy disk

howsetheraven, w Microsoft has apparently eliminated the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial once again, just before the release of Starfield

What’s this “again” business? Do you actually feel you’re entitled to a $1 unlimited access pass to their entire library for 2 weeks just to play their biggest release? If not, do you think it’s unethical or illegal or some other gripe?

I played Outer Worlds, Wasteland 3 and Halo: Infinite with that shit in the past years. I felt like I was literally stealing the games.

I felt like I was literally stealing the games.

Surprisingly, you aren’t! There is no difference for them if you play, as all the data is a copy and labor has already been paid.

Oh neat I have been living under a rock and didn’t realize it was owned by Microsoft… so now there will never be a PS5 release. Does that mean all the old Bethesda games will be unavailable om PS5?

It doesn’t even look like you can get it on steam deck, this blows.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, XBox GamePass is not available for Steam deck or Linux generally, so I have never used it. I would probably sign up if it was available though.

Corkyskog,
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well Steam says it will be in their library, I guess just not for Steamdeck? I was on the fence about getting one because I rarely use a non work computer, and won’t get a new one just for gaming.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

I’m talking about GamePass, not Starfield. Gamepass only works on Microsoft OSes AFAIK, so you won’t be able to use it on anything it doesn’t control (i.e. macOS or Linux).

Corkyskog,
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s fun. God I hate proprietary tech

Like it’s not enough to lock me into a service by making a good service that I forget how expensive it is, instead they got to strangle you on the device side.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Ikr? That’s one reason why I like Netflix. I don’t like the DRM, but they at least do a good job ensuring it works pretty much everywhere.

Hot take when dealing with trillion dollar monopolies there is nothing unethical of taking advantage of them. Also I say this as someone that got the $1 month once and then used it once and then never touched it.

Bethesda.net/workshop

Transcendant,

That link gives me a 404… do you know why it’s included internet connection in the recommended (but not required) specs?

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

It’s not a link; i was saying the Internet connection is only even mentioned because of the Bethesda.net service and access to the Steam Workshop; both are for getting mods, and Bethesda.net is also where you’d get paid cosmetics and whatnot if they have them. It’s not required to play, which is why it’s only in recommended.

Transcendant,

Ahh I see, thanks for the explanation.

ADHDefy,
@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

Same. I just bought the 2070S like... 3 years ago? 2 or 3. I thought it would let me max out games for closer to 5 years, but here we are. lol

Transcendant,

Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It’s done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.

Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren’t overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.

Oh what a lovely country the US is. This is the second post I’m seeing today where an employer doesn’t pay their workers enough hours.

Meowoem, w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

Funny, it all feels very dead to me - but then I guess that is what the fireball spell does…

Hope it runs well on Linux.

vaultdweller013,

Knowing bethesda games, it will either run great or your physics will be from a popeye cartoon.

Both magnificent options

stephen01king,

At least we know there will be mods to fix everything.

dandroid, w Starfield Global Release Times and PC Specs Revealed

We already knew all this info weeks ago.

I thought Lae’zel looked like that because she is a githyanki, but after seeing the actual actress I’m not so sure. Her nose looks unreal. They mocapped her way too well.

5473MP4RRit,

If you’re talking about the TikTok video of her reading Twitter comments, it’s a filter that’s pinching her nose. She doesn’t actually look like that.

Skies5394, w The Darkness Remaster Might Happen, Says Nightdive CEO

One of my favourite games, along with its sequel.

Just great mechanics and atmosphere. Only complaint I had were there were a touch too short.
