Carighan, do games w Last Epoch 1.0 Patch Notes
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

incompetence and thoughtlessness shine through absolutely everywhere, and nothing works the way it ought to.

I mean the website also feels quite amateurish, as does the art-design. It’s not bad for an indie game, but it seems to want to be so much more.

Carighan, do gaming w Disco Elysium 2 just got cancelled and ZA/UM self-destroyed
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Should note that AFAIK there’s no confirmation that their project was in fact an actual Disco Elysium 2 (instead of a spiritual successor or something), and neither do we know whether a DE2 is not being worked on, just without people that made the first game.

Of course, it really does not bode well for any such game, but ever since Life is Strange 2/Tell Me Why vs True Colors where the former DLC-studio made a far better mainline game than the actual company making them managed, I am being more careful with considering a game “ded” just because the people involved with the game left.

🤷

To focus on the more important part: People got laid off. Which sucks. Hard.

Carighan, do games w Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation'
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I thought the same reading that.

Even in the very game, CP2077, as impressive as it can be, it can also be just as disappointing. It’s still a nice technical marvel, but it’s not at all the gamechanger it wanted to be.

And there’s games such as A Plague Tale Requiem where the baked lighting looks flat-out better in most scenes than the raytracing, since unlike the “realistic” raytracing they hand-crafted it to be unrealistic but fitting for the tone and atmosphere of the scene. So I turned it off again.

I’ll be honest, so far the only game where RT universally made me go “I’ll leave that on, that’s awesome!” is Riftbreaker. And it has a comparatively minor effect there, but at least a purely positive one (CP2077 I prefer at native rez over RT + DLSS which gets a weird pseudo-blur even with carefully tweaked resharpening, it’s just part of how it renders I think as other games don’t have this issue).

Carighan, do games w Embracer says it's looking out for shareholders after cutting almost 1,400 jobs
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, it’s good someone is looking out for the poor poor shareholders. Just earlier I saw a long line of them at the unemployment office, begging for food from passerbyes, destitute in their poverty. /s

Carighan, do games w Diablo 4's new mount costs more than the actual game

Well, I’m of two minds about that.

To a healthy person, the current system is pricier and more aggressive. Things are constantly being shoved in your face, but they’re all purchase-only, and 20€/skin is just absurd.

But, I disagree that it’s more predatory. To a vulnerable person, the new system doesn’t elicit an addictive response, which loot boxes due to their gambling nature do.

It’s such a shame that the OW1 discussion about loot boxes went nowhere in regards to giving ingame gambling the same legal framework as IRL gambling.

I mean I do blame the consumer. Specifically for not voting in harsh consumer- and worker-protection laws curbing corporate abilities.

Carighan, do games w EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah and for a while it was mandated to be used for ~everything IIRC but after years of struggling to retain programmers and designers they finally relented on that mandate.

@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

If I had to guess, texture quality and graphical fidelity is really high, plus this was one of the first games to run in UE5. A mix of extreme amounts of manhours invested into graphics coupled with slow progress due to having to get used to everything.

And rampant corruption at EA, I bet. 40 million marketing my ass, the game barely had any marketing!

Yeah I will say, it’s painfully generic and I hate the MCU-style humor, but it’s not a bad game per se. It’s just in no way shape or form triple-A, except for looking rather snazzy.

The worst offense to me though is how there’s no magic in the game. Just guns with weird graphics. They managed to not make the magic feel like, well, magic. That’s the big flaw of it to me. Everything else is minor by comparison. Still, not a bad game, just not a good one either. At least for me.

Carighan, do games w Windows Mixed Reality to be removed in Windows 11 24H2
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

What a bunch of jokers!

Carighan, (edited ) do gaming w Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Hrm, tricky.

If I had to pick one, Zenos from FFXIV. Incredibly overdone - even in a japanese-game context - hero foil, always used at moments where his presence doesn’t fit the tone and interrupts an otherwise consistent tonal progression.

He among other things wastes much of the catarsis of the story’s ultimate ending in Endwalker by adding a 6-10 minute incredibly boring battle with a ton of exposition for no reason right in the middle of it.

Carighan, do games w Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I don’t think his daughter is that hot on allowing a lot of people to do stuff with it. Last year’s animated Maurice movie was about the only thing in a long time, I think?

No like… it feels pretty obvious they weren’t that way originally, if that makes sense? That this got changed after the game was already out for a while, this wasn’t how it was designed at first?

Carighan, do games w Persona 3 Reload sold 1 million copies worldwide within its first week, becoming the fastest selling game in Atlus history
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

How would that work? Considering I mean that past studies have always shown that this doesn’t work like that for kids learning things from fictional works.

(nevermind that there’s no way they’d have a gun except in some really ass backwards countries without any gun laws)
