ampersandrew, w How Baldur's Gate 3 Becomes Game of the Year?
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

This video is unwatchable AI-generated garbage, and it's foreshadowed from the grammar in the title. How are people upvoting this? "Larian released BALL DOORS....GATE 3."

I laughed aloud when I heard, "Bahldoors...Gate III officially!"

RoboRay, w The Crew franchise has a troubled future after The Crew 1 delisting - GameScout

It's hard to feel sympathy for people giving money to companies like Ubisoft, Epic and EA. It's not like them being assholes that constantly screw over their customers is a new thing.

I recently re-installed The Crew 2 because I wanted to start a new character and start the story again from scratch. Unfortunately I'd forgotten that YOU CAN'T START AGAIN (Jackie Chan Confused Meme). Because of these ridiculous shenanigans of theirs your progress is inextricably tied to your online account. They have literally built a system that limits replayability. Bravo.

@novamdomum @wave_walnut That's awful! 😔 yet another way to push you to the new game.

Even people who bought it physically!?

Well, it relies on servers to play it on, so I'm pretty sure that yes, even people who bought it physically will be locked out.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

It requires a connection to the servers to play the single player.

So yes, even people who bought a physical version lose the ability to play the game.

Tl;dr: DRM sucks, buying does not imply owning.

Computerchairgeneral, w The Day Before controversies continue as former employee says it was never an MMO

I've been hoping people on the inside would start speaking out now that the studio has shut down, or rebranded, or whatever they've done. It definitely feels more like a scam if they knew from the start that it was never going to be an MMO. I do feel bad for the developers working on the game. It really sounds like they had no control over the project and were basically catering to the whims of the founders.

Lemonyoda, w Starfield will be getting a bunch of fresh features including "new ways of traveling" next year

Aka the Game releases Feature incomplete in Beta (early Access) Status.

MS gamepass does hinder Quality Games. Same Story for forza Motorsport, redfall and whatnot…

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

This game was originally going to release two years ago without Microsoft making sure it got more QA than Bethesda is known for. Microsoft or not, the game design and feature completeness likely wouldn't have moved an inch.

Hi-Fi Rush, for a counter example, was one of the best games of the year.

Lemonyoda,

I have just looked Into my year on Xbox (and Nintendo Switch…) and it turns out, i played starfield around 50h hours.

So, it did something right regardless. You are probably right those

Ich becomes increasingly frustrating to watch all These big AAA Milestones turn out mediocre.

The AA space is where its at, See your example of Hifi rush.

I would disagree with your 50 hour Starfield assessment, only on the basis of Todd Howards own comment that the game was made to be played for a long time.

50 hours for a game meant to be played for a long time just isn't very long at all. Heck, I enjoyed my time in Starfield and I had more than 50 hours. However I could not continue with NG+, it was just godawful.

For a game meant to be played extensively it failed in most regards.

Computerchairgeneral, w Valve asks Steam Deck owners to not smell vent fumes

You can't cook the steam deck, you can't sniff the exhaust vents, what are you supposed to do with it then?/s

shiveyarbles, w Link and Zelda's relationship is "up to the player's imagination", Nintendo says

Oh no… that’s a terrible idea

Kit, w Starfield will be getting a bunch of fresh features including "new ways of traveling" next year

It would take another decade of development to make this game feel anything less than empty.

off_brand_, w Starfield will be getting a bunch of fresh features including "new ways of traveling" next year

Despite Bethesda being kinda weird and shitty, I remain excited about the game myself. It still blows me away they decided to release without modding tools. But I’m looking forward to that quite a bit

@djidane535@kbin.social avatar

To be honest, I really enjoyed my run (100 hours in). If you omit the bugs, it’s a nice alternative to Skyrim with a very different setting (space) and some quality of life improvements (eg: having your ship to store shit anywhere you go, instead of traveling back and forth to your house if you have any).

But I admit the game feels very old in general (especially because of those loading screens, which should be a thing from the past in 2023), and is not original at all on its FPS mechanics. There is also this odd feeling that the game does not want to block you access to anything (while the new game plus, which is a very good idea and introduced in a clever way, should have been enough to be more « punishing » with the player).

As an « old » gamer, it was not a big issue (especially because I play ton of retrogaming games, along with recent releases), but I totally understand what a player expecting a modern SF RPG game might feel.

averyminya,

I enjoyed the first playthrough too but I just got so tired of everything the second go around. Not much had changed so I was just redoing quests I’d done but now I “knew” things and made it go by faster. Yay?

It’s so dull, I did everything the first time around so now I just get to watch it again, but it’s “fun” cause there’s one changed dialogue option? Meh. The game has an incredible philosophy, a terrible philosophy for its relationship to the gameplay.

In regards to gameplay, it was fine. I liked the flying, ship building was fun, gunplay felt okay. Walking around areas is mostly pretty. But like everyone else my issue was all the menu diving, and I found a few ways to mitigate how often I used it but man was it frustrating to have to menu dive so much, sometimes in situations where it doesn’t even make sense, like arriving and landing on a planet.

And then again, to lose everything about your character that makes the game interesting (built ship, weapons, etc) during NG+ is just disheartening. I understand why, that doesn’t make it easier lol.

djidane535,
@djidane535@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, I didn’t bother with a second playthrough because of this. It’s strange because the idea is great, so why not encourage the player to do a second playthrough by not allowing him/her to see everything on a single run ?

spacecowboy, w House Flipper 2 launches this week, lets you live out the homeownership fantasy

The homeowner fantasy isn’t about buying houses and slapping expensive shit on the walls, only to turn around and sell it for more money, increasing your neighbour’s property taxes in the process. This is a reason WHY people can’t afford to be homeowners.

wolfshadowheart, w Will more studios end up releasing games on Fortnite?
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

They definitely want that Roblox money

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, w Disney gaming exec thinks there's "still a lot of demand" for KOTOR remake

I’d rather end up with no KOTOR remake than one made by Disney. Unless Disney could keep their grubby little lore-revisionist hands out of the pie, that is.

…Fat chance of that, though.

Luccajan, w Epic Games Wins Shocking Upset In Google Monopoly Trial

For Apple i’d understand this but on Android you can download whatever apk from whatever store you like.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Right? Not only can you download from any place on the web and install directly, there are also established third party shops like from Samsung and Amazon or even better, F-droid for Open Source stuff.

Maybe its classified as controlling the market, because most people don't know about alternatives and therefore Google is a monopoly. Even if there are alternatives, Google is currently in a position to control almost all Android smartphones. Similar to why Windows was classified as a monopoly, even though we had Linux for ages as an alternative operating system. So this paragraph is just a guess by me.
