Eggyhead, w Monster Hunter Rise update adds Enigma DRM, breaks Steam Deck compatibility
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

Uncanny timing for my Deck’s RMA repair. I had been deep into Sunbreak.

FWIW, Capcom has acknowledged the issue publicly and clearly do not want this to be the case. It’ll probably be fixed sooner rather than later.

This is a bummer, especially with how much better
Rise can perform on the Steam Deck compared to the Switch version. Bad move on Capcom's part.

Adding the good stuff, as usual Capcom fails to read the room

shiveyarbles, w Multiplayer being 'considered' for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel says CD Projekt

Please enough with the hype and promises from the sales department

At least it's just a "considering"...

I remember back when they scrapped the multiplayer promises they made for Cyberpunk 2077 there was also word about them preparing some separate standalone multiplayer game for the future instead. To me this "considering" is more of an indication that the new game won't be multiplayer focused (if it has multiplayer at all), rather than a promise of anything.

I'm glad to not have invested into the Capcom games. The article talks about Steam Deck only, but I assume its broken on Linux as well ("Linux" as a word isn't found on the article).

Playing it now. It's not bad. It's not great. The flying is the laziest implementation I've ever seen.

Ashtear, w Palworld Sells Over 1 Million Copies in Just 8 Hours as Steam Servers Struggle to Cope With Launch - IGN

Peak of 370k concurrent players on Steam already, topping Starfield’s peak.

Did this come out of nowhere or did I just miss the signs?

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Doesn't come out of nowhere to my knowledge. It is quite anticipated game by many, as it was shown with trailers before on big shows. Everyone was wondering what kind of game this will be and everyone just knew it as "Pokemon with guns" where you can catch and slave other Pokemon like creatures. I'm actually surprised that so many didn't heard of the game before.

Ferk,
@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

And that was just the warm up.
850k concurrent players and rising right now...

NOOBMASTER,

It practically came out of nowhere.

That’s cool. Not buying one until they release Gary Bowser from a lifetime of slavery for selling modded hardware.

Truck_kun, w Sony Reportedly Refunding The Last of Us 2 PS4 Digital Owners Who Bought PS5 Version Full Price - IGN

When your console is highly compatible between generations, such as x86/amd64 … maybe should just sale ‘the game’ and give users access to the older console version, and the version with any enhanced features only accessible on the newer console.

GammaGames,

That’s how lots of ps4/5 games work

The last Pokemon game I played was Y. It was largely the same game as Blue and Gold. This expands on the concept in fun, crazy ways, and it's got me intrigued.

Fiivemacs,

This isn’t pokemon…

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I mean, it isn't but also it is, in the same way Lies of P isn't Bloodborne.

TommySalami,

I haven’t purchased (yet) but that’s exactly why it caught my attention and it seems to be the way they wanted to be seen.

TwilightVulpine,

The creature designs are similar to Pokémon but that's where it begins and ends. Palworld is a survival sandbox with creature collecting, it doesn't even have turn-based battles. It's far more similar to Ark or Rust than Pokémon.

If anyone wanted a game that "is but isn't Pokémon" they should look into TemTem or Cassette Beasts.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Different degrees of shaking up the formula. This is Pokemon-but-survival, and I've got another game in my backlog already that's Pokemon-but-metroidvania.

TwilightVulpine,

Yeah, but I would say that already makes it more markedly different, even compared to, say, Monster Hunter Stories. Sure, there's cutesy creatures which gives it some similar aesthetics but the gameplay experience is not even remotely similar.

Compared to Lies of P which looks and plays like Bloodborne, it's not really that close.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Heh, maybe I'm splitting hairs, but if you want a game "like Pokemon", they've been making exactly that game for 30 years, but there's only a handful of games in the ballpark of Bloodborne. If you want the fantasy of roaming a world, catching creatures, and battling with them, there are lots of ways to skin that cat that GameFreak and Nintendo haven't been doing that aren't at odds with preserving those core pieces. Likewise, I don't enjoy Monster Hunter, but some of its core pieces are present in the likes of Horizon and Mercenary Kings, and I love those games for taking the high level parts of Monster Hunter that do work for me.

TwilightVulpine,

I get it, but part of my point is that there are games that are very much like Pokémon for someone who wants 90% of that with a little bit of a different twist. Meanwhile I'm seeing some people looking into Palworld and going "Wait is this Minecraft? I wanted Pokémon with guns."

Except they removed all traces of dungeons/caves (they are simple hallways with no exploration) and puzzles

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

To be fair, those were so simple that they were barely a challenge when I was 9 years old. When I played Y as an adult, they probably wouldn't have even felt like puzzles.

caseyweederman,

Go play Arceus

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

No thanks.

Rpmkp,

@caseyweederman agreed, Arceus was a breath of fresh air in an incredibly stale series. It’s worth playing.

@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Maybe treating these console generations as though they're somehow super different is more trouble than it's worth. Meanwhile, PC games I bought 20 years ago can easily be run on new hardware at higher frame rates and resolutions than when I bought them.

Gordon_Freeman, w US Supreme Court has had enough of Epic vs. Apple, refuses to hear appeals, Tim Sweeney says the fight to open-up iOS 'is lost… a sad outcome for all developers'
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

If it's so sad, developers could, you know, stop developing for iOS

Shambles,

Agreed, and I would add that anyone who thinks that Epic has developers best interests in mind and not their own pocketbook is delusional.

@wagesj45@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately it inevitable. If a publicly traded company exists, it will have to extract more and more and more until this kind of rent-seeking model happens. And if a company is private, it will eventually go public. And even if you truly believe in a company's owner to not sell out, eventually they will die and the company will go public or get sold. Eventually, money always wins.

Epic can suck a fat cock. So can apple but at least I can choose not to buy their stuff. Epic just buys games and now I have to drop it because fuck epic or continue playing a game they’re activly destroying.

null,

Of course it isn’t stealing – it’s copyright infringement.

conciselyverbose,

lol this isn't about buying, though.

It's about them pushing their stupid rental service. It's never pretending to be a purchase.
