Phegan,

If people keep buying it, they gonna keep doing it.

Phegan,

Ask your mom if you can have friends over to play this weekend.

Phegan,

Anyone who doesn’t play a game because it’s woke, has their head so far up the culture war ass, they have lost all reason.

It’s also the same people where the message behind more subtle media is lost on them. Starship troopers, for example.

Phegan,

As someone who hasn’t played wow in almost a decade, it looks exactly like I remember it.

Phegan,

This is what happens when you try to develop as a triple a studio against trends. By the time your game comes out, you are too late to the grift.

Phegan,

I like the idea of the concept behind star citizen. I also like not getting scammed.

For that reason they will not see a cent from me.

Phegan,

That’s the joke.

Phegan,

Certainly no underlying political message.

Phegan,

Totally a bug to show ads, and not an attempt to see what they can get away with and then lie when there is a negative reaction.

Phegan,

Absolutely not. When the board is looking into it, it’s because they are not returning shareholder value and they are pissed about it. This will likely end with the C-suite being butchered.

Phegan,

You are conflating CEOs with game directors.

Phegan,

I feel like this would be better suited for a WoW sub like the greentext sub and not the general gaming sub.

Phegan,

Honestly. I kinda would have liked to try concord, but I sure as shit wasn’t going to pay to try it.

Phegan,

Incels gonna incel

How did Call of Duty get to this point? (lemmy.world) angielski

Since I’m a WoW addict, naturally I’m a Blizzard fan, of sorts. But my mind is blown every time I see anything from Call of Duty on the launcher. I’ve been really out of the loop, and recently saw this… and I’m shocked. You have to BUY the game for “open beta access”, like how does that make any sense? Also, the...

Phegan,

Capitalism

Phegan,

I don’t understand what people were expecting this is an Ubisoft game, they are always mediocre trash.

Phegan,

Blizzard is dead. At the time they were Activision. Now they are Microsoft. The blizzard that existed to make StarCraft, warcraft and diablo only exists in name.

Phegan,

There was no story for Diablo 1. At exile con the creators of Diablo talk about how there was no story and the execs at Blizzard tacked one on. Chris Metzen had nothing to do with it.

Phegan,

Basically David brevik said that there was no story and the cut scene on the end was added by blizzard south. They had no intent to add that.

I stand corrected though. Metzen is credited as a writer on Diablo. But not Diablo 2.

I suspect Metzen wrote the ending that was tacked on according to Brevik, since at that time blizzard north was a completely different team at the time.

This is the interview. I don’t have a timestamp but the whole thing is compelling.

Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed. angielski

Not sure where the official announcement of this happened, but videos and discussions of the game are now finally allowed. The game is still invite-only, but expect to start seeing it all over the place now. Popular streamers are already jumping into it....

Phegan,

Agreed. Why would they force you to pay 40 in a genre already overpopulated and most of them are free.

Phegan,

I would love to see reasonable competition to steam which would give consumers and developers better options, but Epic ain’t it

Phegan,

I have some games on GOG. It’s fine.

Phegan,

Lemmy is small enough and growing that if you want a community and it doesn’t exist, you should start it. Since it will be small the amount of moderation would be reasonable even for a part time user. As the community grows and if you no longer want to mod it, you can hand it off, but, start it none the less.

Phegan,

What?

Phegan,

I heard the PC port was abysmal, so not sure it is even playable on the steam deck, let alone able to be verified.

Phegan,

I want to get back into destiny, but after this Bungie can get fucked. They aren’t getting a dime for me or a single minute as a concurrent user.

Phegan,

✊

Phegan,

That’s an insanely efficient machine.

Phegan,

I do think it’s a reasonable entry point for those who do not understand the labor implications of this. Approaching people with the sentiment that their favorite games are dying makes the segue into how problematic embracer actually is much easier.

We can ultimately be upset about both things, that embracer is killing games while also killing jobs.

Phegan,

Fuck embracer.

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

Phegan,

Few games do it well, and I suspect we are getting those games because of early access. Other games exploit it, they can get fucked

Phegan,

Is early access a new concept for you?

Phegan,

The defense is: if he did anything wrong he would be in jail.

My brother in Christ, you don’t need to do something illegal to be a shitbag.

Phegan,

I think that’s a pretty good assessment of it.

Phegan,

I hope no one buys it so they stop this shit.

Phegan,

I’ve been interested in this game for a bit, and watched a content creator I like play it. What am I getting myself into if I start?

Phegan,

I can not wait.

Phegan,

Both can be true.

Escape From Tarkov studio boss says he "did not foresee" players would get mad about charging extra for PvE (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. “Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out”

Phegan,

When you sell a package that promises all DLC and you then sell a DLC before you even release the game, you can get fucked.

Phegan,

Source? I would love to confirm this. If it’s true I will stop playing instantly

Phegan,

Many streamers are actively boycotting right now

Phegan, (edited )

I am aware they are Russian, and I don’t expect them to actively condemn the invasion, as it would be dangerous for them. If there is proof they were actively supporting the war or mocking Ukraine, that’s a different story.

Phegan,

Sorry typo.

Phegan,

Thank you

Phegan,

While that’s a good burn, isn’t opera a super shady company

Phegan,

You love to see it.

Phegan,
