BluePhoenix01, w Pikmin 4 tops the Japanese charts for the third week in a row

Is this game much better than the demo? I played the demo with my kid and overall the couch coop game with the dog seemed much weaker than Pikmin 3. Maybe it gets better?

I didn’t play the demo but I assume it’s gameplay very early in the game. My review is that the game starts too slow which is probably what you experienced. Overall it might be worse than Pikmin 3 Deluxe but Pikmin 4 is still a quality game that gets better when you’re around the mid-way point. It’s surprisingly long too (going for all treasure, not speedrunning) and overall I think it’s worth the price.

BluePhoenix01,

Thanks for the update! Right now it seems kid lost interest because of no co-op, but I’m sure that will change with time. It really seems like a solid game.

caballeroAguila,

The game itself is excellent but the coop is pretty weak. Versus battles are a lot of fun and better balanced than Pikmin 3.

BluePhoenix01,

That’s good to know, thank you!

vd1n, w Quake II - Official Trailer (2023)

This is my favorite generation of graphic style. It’s simple and doesn’t get in the way of the game. I swear new games will add trash and random objects in your way just because…

In new games with up to date graphics I end up losing attention on the game and start looking at all the random objects.

Naked_Yoga,

Couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly what I felt like when Quake III came out… “Why is the screen so busy? So much garbage to distract from the game”.

Maybe I’m just old now, but damn I loved Q2.

Also, all of the mods were incredible. Hopefully they will work… I think I have my WOD paks around still.

Yay, muzzle flashes! So, anybody know if old mods will be compatible? Like, can we bring back Transformers Quake 2?

If you already own quake ii on steam this is a free update which is cool.

Altreus,

I just discovered this. Insane! Not that I’m complaining. Wanted to stream it but wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get it … Win!

Looks awesome! Glad to see quake getting more love.

NanoooK,

I would love for a remake of Quake III.

whataboutshutup,

To populate the community, maybe, but QuakeLive, original Q3 servers and open alternatives still have people. And what I love about them more than the idea of a remaster is that they aren’t gated by software or hardware. This possible remaster may require a W10-11 and lots of powerful hardware to show all these fancy things you, by default, disable to participate in competitive Quake.

Quake Champions (or how it’s called) is what current gen have instead, while old people don’t care having old Quake 3 Arena things running.

This is awesome. To this day Rage is one of my favorite music tracks from any game.

Bluescluestoothpaste, w Europa Universalis IV and Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You free on Epic Games this week

Am I crazy or is europa universalis just a worse version of crusader kings? Love crusader kings but mever tried EU because it just seems like the same game with less features?

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s the same engine, but the focus is different: CK is about the ruling dynasty, EU is about the country itself. Time period is also different (EU4 goes from 1444 to 1821),

A good example of that is that in EU4 your country can be the junior partner of a personal union, where it needs to fight against its rulers to get independence. You won’t see anything similar in CK3, because you are the ruling dynasty.

Bluescluestoothpaste,

I guess, idk that seems less fun to me lol. And in CK3 you can absolutely be a vassal of a larger kingdom and fight (or negotiate) for your independence.

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

And in CK3 you can absolutely be a vassal of a larger kingdom and fight (or negotiate) for your independence.

Yes but you can’t be a junior partner of a personal union, since this means that you (the dynasty) would be fighting yourself. On the other hand in EU4 this works fine since you’re the Senate government/country/state itself, not the king or the dynasty. It was just an example on the different focus, mind you.

On EU4 being less fun than CK3: personally I like EU4 better because I care far more about groups in Modern times interacting on a global level than individuals in Mediaeval times interacting on a regional level. And EU4 always involves some sort of “if I did this in real life I’d be a monster” decision, that actually makes me understand a lot of the shit that governments do, such as culturecide or backstabbing/Realpolitik.

But there’s no “right” choice, it’s different strokes for different folks.

FARTYSHARTBLAST, w Square Enix has removed Denuvo from Octopath Traveler 2
@FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s nice, maybe I’ll buy it on sale for $5 one day.

kostel_thecreed,

I feel as if it is worth the price its currently at. I got 60 hours out of it, without even doing 100% of the acheivements.

BakedGoods,

Sure but they put Denuvo on it so they pay the asshole-tax.

@_waffle_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.

1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it

2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?

kostel_thecreed,

It was also my first JRPG, and I would say it’s pretty easy to grasp the concepts of it.

No, it’s a separate story line.

It's like gaming companies almost want to see the market crash with all these bullshit things they are doing. Yet people keep buying into it.

ThiefUserPermissions,

Havent made a single apple purchase for over 2 years now.

This is how it starts. How it ends is up to them.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I don’t pay for microtransactions out of principle, yet I’m sure there’s someone else who will not than make up for me. I honestly don’t get it.

NanoooK, w It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content | VGC

Don’t buy the game then. Editor won’t stop if their sales don’t decrease.

else,

The game is great and easily the best japanese fighting game experience for casuals. (Mechanically I prefer anime fighters though.) For once a Japanese game has all the bells and whistles instead of almost purely focusing on the multiplayer.

The cosmetics are what they are. At least it’s not p2w but it’s up to consumers to not spend if they don’t agree with paying more in a game they already bought.

Edit: downvote me all you want but the truth is that street fighter 6 was a very big step forward for japanese fighting games in terms of what they offer consumers. The fgc hasn’t had games that can truly appeal to and bring in new players so I can’t help but be happy for it. The only exceptions would be NRS’s games and smash.

cantstopthesignal,

I don’t know why people hate on this so much. Cosmetics are how they want to make money and it doesn’t fuck up the game play.

I'm doing my part so they can get closer to their goal. By not being part of the audience.

WarmSoda, w Translators for Baldurs Gate 3 worked for 3 years translating more than 1 million words and Altagram Group only credited their execs and leads

That’s how being a vender works.

deranger,

I’d say that’s okay if only the company is credited by name, but the execs names were included. If they’re including names, include all the names. It’s not a long list from what I saw on Twitter.

turtlepower, w It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content | VGC

That’s some bullshit. Not radical at all.
