TheRazorX, w Batman: Arkham Trilogy releasing for Nintendo Switch on October 13

My guess is that at least one of them is going to require a download code which sucks.

Che_Donkey, w [Humble Bundle] Spaced Out Bundle (Journey to the Savage Planet, Breathedge for €9.14; add Outer Worlds, Trover Saves the Universe, The Entropy Centre for €13.72; add High on Life and Outer Worlds Expansion Pass for €27.44)

Journey to the Savage Planet was an absolute blast, I love finding games like that!

forgotaboutlaye,

I've never heard of that one, but I personally enjoyed The Outer Worlds, but got it in the recent Humble Monthly. Was hoping for Outer Wilds when I first saw the listing.

Rexxiter, w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?
@Rexxiter@kbin.social avatar

I really enjoyed The Planet Crafter! It's a crafting game bringing a barren world to fully lush environment. Lakes will form, grasses start to grow. It's very peaceful and visually appealing.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Thank you. I've just watched a review and it does look interesting.

InfiniteHench, w Destiny 2’s Zavala Recasting Was A Tough, Correct Choice
@InfiniteHench@kbin.social avatar

Yeah Keith David rules. Great choice.

cyberian_khatru, w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?
@cyberian_khatru@kbin.social avatar

Gone Home is pretty neat. I usually need secondary gameplay loop to placate my short attention span but this one gripped me through presentation and atmosphere alone.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Thank you, that does look good and nicely paced.

NightOwl, w Top Amazon Deals for Headset in August!

Does lemmy provide mods with the ability to block submissions based on url yet? Wondering how much relies on manual modding and what tools lemmy needs to improve on.

Got me wondering since mod tools back then had been one of the reasons cited for why apphookup didn’t end up migrating.

Syo, w Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic
@Syo@kbin.social avatar

With Elden Ring last year and TotK and BG3 now, I'm starting to feel that most Western studios, especially American ones, are just dead and run by parasitic C tier movie executives. Always rehashing the exact same IP / formula for each game, and some how doing a crappy job at that, while charging higher and higher price.

Gamers really need to be better consumers as well, and learn to detach ourselves from brand/studio loyalty. Your gaming time is highly desirable, don't sell it cheaply.

Syo, w The Main Lesson From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Should Be ‘People Hate Microtransactions’
@Syo@kbin.social avatar

The lesson to take away is that AAA != Good game. Never pre order. Play demo, beta. Only play if you're time is respected.

Artificially designed grinds, limitations, time gates should be auto no buy.

@resketreke@kbin.social avatar

And I wish Square Enix (among others) didn't charge 80€ for their AAA titles. If there was no competition, prices would probably be even worse.

khab, w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?
@khab@kbin.social avatar

Firewatch
Well-made story-focused, no combat whatsoever. Very few puzzles, almost exclusively about exploring.

What Remains of Edith Finch
More "puzzley", but lets you discover things at your own pace.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Both look very good, thank you!

TheRoarer, w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?

Myst and riven will lock your exploration behind puzzles. Outer wilds is a good bet!

FarraigePlaisteach,

Thanks, I wondered about that. Outer wilds it is :) They didn't release for linux or Mac unfortunately, but I see that people are having success running it with the WINE translation layer.

Echo71Niner, w Cities Skylines 2 has realistic economy, layoffs and even homelessness
@Echo71Niner@kbin.social avatar

Game is $1 but the dlc is like $2K a piece.

Veraxus,
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

This is Paradox we're talking about. There will be 2,000 pieces of DLC for $10 a piece.

technologicalcaveman, w Cities Skylines 2 has realistic economy, layoffs and even homelessness

I'm interested, just don't want to eventually spend 2k on dlc. To get the entirety of the first it's 377$ with a 9% discount. Which is a bit insane.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

What if you only bought the expansions that speak to you though? I don't need the content creator pack or the K pop radio station, but I did want Green Cities and Mass Transit, for instance.

technologicalcaveman,

I'd rather that basics be part of the game from the start. Mass transit should have been there to begin with. Looking at a lot of these dlc it seems like they should've been there by default.

Shalakushka,
@Shalakushka@kbin.social avatar

That's literally what they're doing with CS2.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

So then what if you waited until it had all of the features that you consider necessary and then buy those on a sale? You're a far cry from $2k spent in either case.

technologicalcaveman,

I shouldn't have to spend anything extra for basics. It should be there already. So I'll just not pay anything and pirate it if their monetization scheme is going to be this fucked.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Who determines what's a basic and what's expanded content then? You know what's in it when it comes out, and you can buy it at that price or not. If they do extra work, it makes sense to sell it as an add-on. If you were happy with it before they added night clubs or weather features, were they really that essential to be included in the base package? If you weren't happy with it before they added those things, wait until they add those things. They sell a good product at a fair price, and they're forthcoming about what's in it. They don't try to keep you hooked with weird psychological tricks or gambling mechanics. Nothing about this is fucked.

Veraxus,
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

I used to be perfectly happy with Paradox's "slew of DLC" business model... until they raised their prices.

Before that, I would buy everything as soon as it dropped. No biggie. Now I only buy DLC when it eventually gets those deep discount sales. I'm open to their experimental "subscription" & "seasonal bundle" models, though... so long as they include everything and they don't get cute with exclusions.

emmanuel_car,

Please, no more subscriptions. Let me own the content I purchase, as much as anyone ever owns digital content at least.

@gerryflap@feddit.nl avatar

Just because the DLC exists doesn’t mean you need it. I bought the original Cities Skylines, haven’t bought any DLC, but still had a great time. It looks like this time around they’ll also include more features from DLC into the base game. Evaluate the game based on what it is. Is it worth the money? Then buy it. Is it not worth the money, then don’t.

Hell yes. I was thinking this morning of starting over, my dude looks too goofy.

BiggestBulb, w Cities Skylines 2 has realistic economy, layoffs and even homelessness
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

I'm hoping (more than likely in vain) that we can have the opportunity to do some of the wackier stuff seen in SimCity: Societies. By that, I mean I would love to craft an authoritarian police state, a beautiful pagoda-filled village or a Disney-esque paradise town.

SimCity: Societies was very bad in a lot of aspects (game froze all the time, roads were awful and it was massively unbalanced) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it at all when it comes to city building. I just wanna make clown schools and have a bunch of free-roaming clowns, damnit.
