TheFeatureCreature, do games w Ubisoft revenues decline 31.4% to €990m
@TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world avatar

Please don’t forget that even when this company made “better” games and was more profitable, their management and executives were wilful participants in rampant sexual abuse of their workers. Ubisoft is, always has been, and always will be a pile of festering shit and bankruptcy would be too good for them.

It’s very good and an extremely faithful remaster. The only thing I don’t like is that most of the new voice actors are not as good, but there is a mod you can download (within the game’s own mod manager) to restore the original voices. Also the menu system is kinda janky, but it works.

This is very good, but I hope devs can’t just get around it by releasing a 5kb empty update to reset the counter.

@TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world avatar

EA execs: “Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have sold better if it was even worse.”

They can do whatever they want with Mass Effect, far as I’m concerned. I’m not supporting EA nor do I trust them to not butcher their own products. They are self-destructing just like Ubisoft is because they cannot make a good decision to save their life.

TheFeatureCreature, do games w EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy
@TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world avatar

Not sure if you are aware, but selling a product that literally doesn’t work is illegal in numerous countries. That’s fraud.

Also charging this much for a nearly 30 year old game without doing a damn thing to make it even slightly functional on modern systems is bullshit.

A direct inflation conversion like that is not invalid, but it lacks a lot of context. Games might have been more expensive back then, but everything else was orders of magnitude cheaper. People were buying homes and starting families as young adults back then. Now many in that bracket live check-to-check and struggle to put food on the table. It stings a lot more.

also to clarify: I was using Canadian dollars. Major releases are around one hundred bucks here when adding tax, give or take a little.

It’s called AAA because that’s the sound I make when I see the pricetag.

Once again another reminder why I don’t buy games at launch.

Well, this and the near-$100 price that most AAA’s are launching at now.

This comes shortly after news that EA lost several billion in market value and Veilguard underperformed, so not surprising at all.

TheFeatureCreature, do games w Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors?
@TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world avatar

Nvidia is in the business of selling AI hardware. They want to hype up AI so they sell more hardware.

This is a salesman trying to make a sale.

Hot damn did they ever screw up badly with DAV.

If they just released what people were expecting (and wanting): Dreadwolf, a true Dragon Age sequel - then it would’ve sold by the figurative truckload and they’d be riding the money boat right now.

But no. The reality-disconnected decision makers decreed that it had to be ultra sanitised, corporate, Disney-esque slop. Not an awful game, sure, but absolutely not a Dragon Age game.

TheFeatureCreature, do games w GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100
@TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world avatar

AAA games are already $90CAD here with deluxe/special editions going for $120-$160. I can’t remember the last time I actually bought one of those games because most of them are trash designed to exploit the player as much as possible. There are a lot of other hobbies I’d rather drop that kind of money on that respect my time heaps more than modern games.

I think Tiny Glade is the only game I play regularly that is an actual new release. Everything else is 5+ years old because I got them on sale for good prices. Also means they’re already patched up and usually perform better instead of having people pay $90+ to beta test broken garbage.

No thanks; I’m good. Still feeling the sting over buying my 4080 Super last spring. Also it’s doing me just fine for my work and for games.

Considering the amount of gambling, exploitative practices, dark patterns, etc that exists in modern live-service games - saying that comes across as rather disingenuous.

It is good to hear this particular live-service game is bucking some of the recent trends, but I think it is safe to say these types of games, in general, have done damage to the industry and the wallets and minds of players. Enjoy yourselves, but be cautious and don’t let your guard down because these companies will screw you if they think they can. We have seen it so many times.
