luthis, w PlayStation Portal Doesn’t Have Bluetooth

Mutahar really ripped into this one.

It’s a wierd play by Sony for sure.

It's pretty absurd, there's no reason Sony products shouldn't work with themselves. The Sony Linkbuds would be a great use case for the Portal but apparently not.

Can't wait to see what other ways these companies gamify farming personal data.

ArugulaZ, w Baldur's Gate 3 will be released on Xbox this year, with split-screen features removed for Series S

The absence of split-screen co-op is not a deal breaker for me.

Computerchairgeneral, w EA's BioWare will lay off 50 and cut ties with unionized Keywords playtesting group

Yeah. I'm sure laying off staff who have been crunching on Dreadwolf for who knows how long is really going to "unlock the creativity" of everyone left. At least some of the people laid off will be able to find work in other parts of the company. Honestly, if Dreadwolf and the new Mass Effect aren't successes then I feel like it will only be a matter of time until we hear about EA shutting the studio down. Hopefully, Dreadwolf is good and sells well, but the people working on it have to be under a lot of pressure between the layoffs, Biowares last two games failing, and BG3 setting a new standard for RPGs.

maltasoron, w I understand cosmetic DLCs, but cosmetic "battle passes" are bad

It’s a sad state that we can’t just pay for a completed game and avoid any microtransaction bs in game while playing.

Well, you can still do that. Just play other games; there are more than enough around to fill a lifetime.

Personally, my experience is that games where everybody is obsessed with cosmetics aren’t that fun to begin with.

Leilys,

Have you ever found that game where it plays well, mechanics are solid and the art is also up your alley. But at the end of each round you play you just see the little battle pass section trying to prey on your sense of FOMO, trying to scrape out just a little more, even though the price tag upfront is already a bit higher than what you’d normally pay for a game in the same vein.

I found a game I probably could’ve genuinely enjoyed for a long time. I was talking it up to my friends to buy it on release together so we could play co-op. The demo was really great.

For it to come with a Day 1 battle pass (plus online only access when it had singleplayer modes) makes the developer’s intent very clear: we want more money, and we’ll use every FOMO trick in the book to achieve it. And once you pay, you still have to work for those rewards you paid for.

Cosmetic DLCs are fine. I play a fair bit of DST and I enjoy collecting twitch drops and free skins, and if I wanted to support the Devs more I could buy a pack. That’s upfront and transparent. I don’t get reminded every time I build a chest that “There’s 16 more skins you can unlock for this item”. That would be scummy.

The answer is still to not play that game. I'm also not sure what DST is; Don't Starve Together?

twistedtxb, w Starfield will serve as the "starting gun" for additional first-party releases, Xbox says
@twistedtxb@lemmy.ca avatar

I can easily see this being as big or bigger of a franchise than TES

forgotaboutlaye,

Maybe eventually, but TES has 5 main title games, an MMO and a mobile game. It will take more than one release for Starfield to prove iteself.

@sgibson5150@kbin.social avatar

Dark Forces is the only classic FPS that ever gave me motion sickness.

fuck yes the first one was excellent

ExcessivelySalty, w Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%
@ExcessivelySalty@kbin.social avatar

@ampersandrew Just use Heroic Launcher, you get to enjoy whatever Epic games you have, without having to use their launcher. Plus it works with GOG games as well.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I'll use that for things I already have in my library, either from my Windows days or from giveaways, but I'm not going to spend money in their stores when they don't officially support me as a customer. Unofficial launchers like this could be broken by those storefronts at any time, and they were never guaranteed to work for me. GOG fares better than Epic in this regard, since they do sell Linux games, but I want official cloud saves and automatic updates as well.

Looks great fun!

Computerchairgeneral, w Alan Wake 2 | The Dark Place Gameplay Trailer

Really excited about Alan Wake 2. So far it's looking like a great mash-up between the first game's more traditional horror elements and the more surreal stuff introduced in Control. Looking forward to release day.

all-knight-party, w Streets of Rogue 2 - Official Reveal Trailer

Eager to watch this video now! The first one is a phenomenally unique rogue like and very fun, basically if Deus Ex were a top down rogue like and didn't take itself seriously

drailin, (edited ) w This New Pokémon From Scarlet And Violet’s DLC Has A Messed-Up Backstory

Should be an alt-evo for sinistea imo. The convergent pokemon evolution idea works for some pokécological niches, but for a spirit inhabiting tea vessels, it seems oddly specific for two distinct species.
