Rpmkp, w Bethesda plans to update Starfield "roughly every six weeks starting in February"

@mike591 sf was.. kind of fun? Playing it on game pass was fine, I’d be pissed if I paid $60 for it though

BruceTwarzen,

It's 70 buckaroos

Rpmkp,

@BruceTwarzen in that case it’s definitely not worth it lol.

@mike591

mike591,

I thought it was fun, despite some clunkiness. I also played it on gamepass and clocked in 100-200 hours. I intend to pick it up again once the game matures a bit more and receives additional expansions.

As always with the Crown Prosecution service in the UK they love to bully and make an example of Autistic people. Only added by corporation running the court system, The CPS' Prosecution barristers are known to enjoy a life of luxury and gifts from them but you cant touch any of it.

Following an assessment by a psychiatrist, however, the judge in the case determined that Kurtaj was unfit to stand trial, and so the jury was asked only to determine if he had actually committed the hacks, but not whether it was done with criminal intent.

I’m curious what “unfit” means here.

Finally. Starforge has been an embarrassment for too long.

Durandal, w Crysis Remastered for only 1,49 Euros in Steam
@Durandal@kbin.social avatar

If I'm not logged in... I see the 65% off sale. If I am logged in, I see 95% sale. So perhaps it's because I own the original or perhaps it's just a glitch in the sale pricing. But it's definitely showing both and it's odd.

When I purchased (you can check it yourself by putting it in the cart), there was a notice that this promotion is not applicable to gifts. So it might be an intended special promotion for owners of the previous original version of the game. And Steam glitches out there maybe. If this price is available to you too, then I assume it's intended.

Lame. I was going to send it as a gift to someone. D’oh

Hades should be on this list. Like near the top.

GoodEye8, w EA rebrands Frostbite as it says teams free to choose other game engines

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m pretty sure during the Anthem fiasco it leaked that EA doesn’t prevent studios from using other engines, but strongly incentivizes teams to use Frostbite. For instance by taking the licensing fee out of the development budget meaning you either cut down the scope or use an engine that might not be suited for the project.

It’s very EA to say “you can use whatever you want” and then leave out the “but we’re not going to help you if you don’t do as we want”.

ampersandrew, w Leaked slide reveals Sony's PC games sales figures
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

It’s a great platformer, don’t get me wrong. But you’re telling me that a PC version of Sackboy made more sense than Bloodborne? Come oooooon.

You can't believe that they're choosing the most marketable games if they're omitting Bloodborne. The rumor I heard long ago at this point is that From and Sony have a contract dispute, so one won't do more work until they're paid, and the other refuses to pay. In situations like this, it's not uncommon for one company, like Sony, to own the rights to the name and story while the other, From Soft, might own the code base. The rumor was that the Demon's Souls remake by Bluepoint got around the same problem by not using any of From's code and that they might do the same thing with Bloodborne, but no signs of that yet. It wouldn't be out of line with Sony's remaster/remake strategy though.

MJBrune,

Demon’s Souls remake by Bluepoint

Demon’s Souls is owned by PlayStation. They made Dark Souls as a series because Demon’s Souls wasn’t something they owned. I believe the dispute goes back that far.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

That didn't seem like a dispute so much as it was recognizing an opportunity to make more money by going multiplatform. Then after Dark Souls became a hit, Sony seemingly contracted them to do something just like it again, and then it appeared that something went wrong on that deal. This is just based off of how it looks from the outside world, combined with the above rumors. I didn't hear anything about soured relationships from the deal with Demon's Souls.

NotTheOnlyGamer, w Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Well, if he doesn't care, then I just might bother the time and effort to pirate it. But then again, a dismissive creator who's working with Markiplier isn't someone I'm really keen on supporting in the first place. I wish him luck, and that he is approximately as successful as I am in financial terms.

I whole heartedly agree. This game was such a great experience.

A $2 increase!? OUTRAAAAAAGE

thingsiplay, w Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

While this is not a nice, I don't understand why this is a big deal? And why anyone would pirate the game as a result of this 2 Dollars increase (which in percentage as ~33% increase sounds worse than it is). Others are doing this too, adjust the price after long period of supporting it. And for such a low price and as an indie developer, I think it's only fair. Also for anyone thinking of pirating the game out of principle, rethink it again. Game gets deals over time and at some point it was available for ~4 Euros (which should be more like 3.79 Dollars or whatever it might be).

The game in question is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846170/Iron_Lung/ BTW. It has Very Positive reviews on Steam and is a horror themed short game. And the dev doesn't even come up with fake excuses or anything like that, it's straight honest about making more money. Which is fair to me! And before anyone accuses me, I am not affiliated with the dev or game, never purchased or received anything; it's the first time I hear about the game. Just mentioning it, because of my positive words defending the price increase. This is a rare situation where I am fine with it.

This is exactly how things should be done. If anything, him doing it this way succeeds at making me overrated interested in the game, which isn’t one I’d usually go for. Just because he’s doing it the right way.

thingsiplay, (edited ) w Steam has made 6 Games Free - Get them while you can
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

It's a little bit confusing title, because it's not Steam that has made the games for Free. This is not a comparable situation to what Epic Games does. Steam has nothing to do with the offering, other than hosting the game on the platform. All games are made Free by their own publishers.

Also it includes games that are always Free in price, such as Age of Advent. It serves as a sort of demonstration of the full game. And it never had a price attached to it, if I see it correctly.
