Going to need proof of that.

In nearly every company, CEO makes the plan. Board wants a process and results. CEO is the one who spearheads it.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Having used the Unreal engine, I’m actually surprised it’s not more popular than Unity.

I’m leaning towards people saw Unity as “the scrappy underdog” to Epic. When really, Unreal engine fought like hell to get to where it is.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

And not a game where I play as Smeagol?

Potatos_are_not_friends,

That’s my thing with RPS. They have extreme opinions and while I do disagree with their statements, they’re always entertaining and I always go, “I see your perspective”.

I like it!

They’re also the very few game sites that give attention to indie games, or write creative pieces about specific elements in games. The author Sin Vega does great long form articles about interesting game mechanics.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

That’s how negotiations work!

Shame Zenimax named a number and Microsoft was like, “Uh yeah that sounds right!”

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Driving was a huge immersion breaker. After 15 feet, there was literally no pedestrians. There was barely no other cars on the road.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

PS+ is not as good a product as GamePass, but I believe it’s healthier overall for the gaming industry.

A worst product is better for the industry because gamers should pay for inferiority?

What are you smoking?

Potatos_are_not_friends,

After 80 hours, I encountered a clear bug.

None of the security guards had armor, just walking around shirtless.

Loved it.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

God of War. Spiderman. Horizon. Last of Us. Ghost of Tsushima. Bloodborne. Uncharted. Ratchet and Clank. Death Stranding. Grand Turismo. Persona.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Hell yeah!

Ichiban is a more silly protagonist than Kiryu and want more of him.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It’s official. The release of the next Elder Scrolls will be any time from now to 2028.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Most companies froze during the start of COVID. During the first few months, we didn’t know if COVID was spread through air or by blinking. Companies scrambled for WFH, trying to keep workers alive while other companies scrambled to create 6-ft distances. People died. Less people went out to buy things.

This went on for a full year at minimum.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I’ve waited patiently and now Spiderman will be on Steam.

Id say go PC and join us.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Sony has a twenty-plus year track record of buying studios and talent to produce IP and growing them.

Lol Sony propaganda right here.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I can’t imagine playing any Bethesda game without mods.

They don’t just make the game playable. They make them go from 8 to a perfect 10.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

They should release it on PS3 then?

$70 Mortal Kombat 1 Switch version called "robbery" as graphical comparisons flood the internet (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

Fans have taken to the likes of X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to question NetherRealm's decision to market Mortal Kombat 1 as a $70 Switch release. It has been called "robbery" and "disrespectful" to users.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Sounds like they should accept their inferior switch version, or invest in better hardware.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

A small team of 7 was able to create something of this magnitude , all thanks to the various tools of today like Generative AI.

We talk about the bad stuff of AI. But here’s the good… small mom and pop shops being able to release top tier products like the big companies.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Because they’re little fucking babies.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

We’ve already been made into his bitch, and we’ve sucked it down.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Seriously this.

Once the heat dies down, they’ll ramp up again.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Every company I worked in always had a plan B.

Being fully under the whims of a service is how companies die. And unity is going to put a financial stranglehold on so many businesses. So really if they aren’t planning to cut ties, they won’t survive in a few years.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

EA, Ubisoft, Activision…

I do it with a lot of big name AAA companies

Games consoles are infuriatingly exempt from California's otherwise important new right to repair bill (www.pcgamer.com) angielski

California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country's most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It's the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either Minnesota or New York in...

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Gotta admit… That sounds like a “them” problem. If they want to sell it at a loss, that’s on them. Make console prices more expensive.

Bring more gamers to the PC & Steam Deck.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Any updates on genitalia?

Why allow me to spend so much time crafting my nether region and never give me the opportunity to wave it around?

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Excellent time to do this while Unity is becoming a absolute shit show.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I watched a massive alien war happen. Roughly 3 bigger animals attack a horde of 12 critters. Then, another 3 vs 12 battle happened nearby, followed by ANOTHER 3 VS 12.

This kept happening for at least 10 minutes as everywhere I went, there was animals fighting and a trail of bodies being left.

Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN (www.ign.com) angielski

Some of Steam’s oldest user accounts are turning 20-years old this week, and Valve is celebrating the anniversary by handing out special digital badges featuring the original Steam colour scheme to the gaming veterans....

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I cursed Valve for forcing me to install Steam to play HL2.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Ah, “official” mod support.

Because I’m running mods right now. PcMasterRace and all.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

After the mess that was Outer Worlds, I hope Obsidian finds itself.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

The achievement is less about the need, but more that someone did it.

I’d be equally excited if something optimized the shit out a PlayStation 1 game too.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Lots of samesy stuff. Travel to a side quest, same looking area, same enemies, same thing.

I feel like they spent most of the resources trying to rebuild a working functional engine for themselves, rather than do what they do best, which is create stories. Because there was some serious amazing sparks of creativity like being able to skip a whole story chapter with a single dialog option.

Like Mass Effect 1 - very flawed but lots of potential. But then Mass Effect 2 became a masterpiece.

So I have high hopes for Outer Worlds 2 being incredible.

[Rumor] Mass Effect 4 will ditch an open world and return to its "classic format", insider teases (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

Corden made the claim in the latest edition of his podcast, The Xbox Two Podcast, in a broader conversation about the pros of established studios sticking to the development blueprint that made their games so special versus the cons of taking risks and innovating, only for it to instantly crash and burn....

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Budget cuts?

Or because of Mass Effect Andromeda? I dont think the problem with Andromeda was the open world…

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I feel like a cheater, but I tried my best to not cause any griefing. I’m also in my 40s and don’t have the time to git gud when I just wanna play the story.

Dark souls 2 & 3 have mods that make it easier. DS2, I had crazy defense and rolling. Poor invaders would backstab me 5 times and only take me to 50% health. Then 3 basic quick hits would kill them.

DS3, I was around level 200 thanks to a xp multiplier mod and was able to steamroll bosses. Invaders still destroyed me, but that’s fair. Frequently I let them and to my surprise, most invaders if you don’t attack, won’t attack back and will just goof off. I loved it.

I’m going to wait until Elden Ring is a bit more quieter before I play with mods. Again, not interested in griefing. Just want to adventure on my own terms.

Japanese PC gaming saw another year of explosive growth (www.pcgamer.com)

Japanese gamers have continued to embrace the PC as a platform at staggering rates, jumping up 43% from 131.3 billion yen to 189.2 billion yen in 2022. That's a total size of about $1.3 billion US. The data comes from the latest report by Kadokawa ASCII Research Laboratories, an industry think tank which compiles yearly material...

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Proud of these numbers.

The more PC gamers in Japan, the more likely we will get PC releases.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Why do you think Bethesda is so supportive of the mod scene?

It’s a job application.

A few folks who worked on Skyrim worked on Oblivion mods.

Folks who worked on Fallout made Skyrim mods.

Id software (Doom) also hired modders.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Welcome brother/sister to the world of being a patient gamer!

You avoid a lot of the hype. You get the game when it’s at the most patched up. And you save a lot of money too.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

“tragic” downfall?

Aw poor triple-A billion dollar EA studios making a shitty cash grab and it didn’t allow their owner to buy a fifth yacht.

Somebody please go buy some microtransactions to prop these people up

Potatos_are_not_friends,

This is pretty common. A graphic card company bragging it can now run X game. Cyberpunk did this. Doom eternal. Hell, I remember when Dishonored 2 from a few years ago was the highlight.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Appreciate it. Hate giving traffic to Twitter.

And a direct link to image.

Super Mario Wonder's online multiplayer may be disappointing, but we have already witnessed that the alternative would be far worse. angielski

For those that didn’t catch the last Direct, Super Mario Wonder has announced that it will feature two different kinds of online multiplayer, both very different to local multiplayer - one where you can see “ghosts” of other players currently online on a given level, which can’t interact with you directly but can give...

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

Remember Super Mario Maker 2? It included a mode where players could join an online room, whether with friends or strangers, to play courses among themselves. It’s also infamous for the constant slowdowns that players experienced during the courses. Why was this happening, you may wonder? Well, because the players needed to synchronize their state between each other, and since the game was not designed with modern network tools in mind such as rollback (which would probably be too heavy for the Switch), the only way to ensure everyone was on the same lane was to wait for everyone to receive the input data from all other players. And in a game with up to four players at a time, things are absolutely going to get messy.

Everything you stated has been solved in so many games in the past decade. People keep making excuses for it. Smash bros for example.

But the real reason? Nintendo just never really cared about multiplayer for Mario. Multiplayer’s not a big money maker for Mario, and they’ll implement just enough to hit whatever.

And I’m okay with that. Because I play Mario games solo or couch op.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I’m one of the few who saw Saints Row 1&2 as a discount GTA clone and fell in love with Saints Row 3&4.

Honestly I don’t know who the new Saints Row was for.

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

how do you do fellow kids

That’s it! I couldn’t figure out why, a SR fan, had zero interest in their latest release.

It’s because that trailer was oozing with “fellow kids” energy.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Ign has a history of non-stories.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Been available to preload for at least the past 18 hours.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Sync for Lemmy for me. Working
