dev_null,

You can craft that same missile launcher, it’s not even a unique weapon, but a normal tech tree unlock. You can also use a lasgun against vehicles (which you need to find a schematic for or gain from a mission).

dev_null,

There are lasguns, and the same missile launcher the NPC has is also craftable.

dev_null,

It’s called “Regis Missile Launcher” and is in the last tier.

dev_null,

The problem isn’t modders getting paid for their work. The problem was Bethesda trying to take a cut for mods they didn’t make.

dev_null,

Seeing how the game prominently features trans characters and that Rowling wasn’t involved in making it, it probably doesn’t bother many people.

I want to support media that show and empathize with trans people, and Hogwarts is one of them. But yes, even though she was not involved, she surely is receiving some royalties due to the setting.

dev_null,

It would be ridiculous to pretend so. Giving money to trans-supportive games absolutely does though.

dev_null,

Rowling having slightly more money makes no difference to her spewing her views, she is set for life anyway. Yes I’d like to avoid giving her money, but a much stronger signal I’d like to send is that a game with trans characters sells well.

dev_null,

I am aware the motives behind it are profit driven. But that doesn’t make the message less valuable. People seeing themselves represented is helpful to them, and it normalizes them for other people.

dev_null,

Again, she is not the creator and has nothing to do with the game other than the creators purchased the rights to the setting.

dev_null,

You are driven by hate. Rowling is not going to get any more “enabled” than she already is with her bottomless pit of money. If you are truly an ally, suggest better media to support, rather than being combative and alienating everyone in the proces.

dev_null,

Nobody is talking about piracy.

dev_null,

Many great games wouldn’t be released without the current system giving them a chance. Shovelware is a problem, but I think it’s a fairer alternative.

dev_null,

Steam doesn’t do that. Some games on Steam do, but it’s the games deciding to do that, not Steam.

There are many games on Steam that are DRM free and can be played offline and without Steam running or being installed at all.

dev_null,

Or just playing games with higher graphics settings that the Steam Deck wouldn’t be able to run.

Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating (kotaku.com) angielski

Looking up those patents, the first alludes to a system where a player aims and fires an “item” toward a character in a field, and in doing so triggers combat, and then dives into extraordinary intricacies about switching between modes within this. The second is very similar, but seems more directly focused on tweaking...

dev_null, (edited )

People say “Pokemon with guns” as if that was some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It’s a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.

It’s an open world crafting base building game to enjoy with co-op, that has catchable creatures like Pokemon. There is no Pokemon game that fits this niche. The guns are not important to what the game is.

dev_null, (edited )

I’m not saying ignore it, it’s a valid reason to not like the game, like any other subjective reason.

I’m saying calling the game “Pokemon with guns” is dismissive of what the game is. It’s like calling Minecraft “Rust with animal husbandry”, which completely misses what the game is about.

dev_null,

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.

dev_null,

What makes you think it isn’t an option? Most people probably aren’t using it though, because there is no reason to predownload terabytes of world data when you aren’t going to come near 95% of it.

dev_null,

Have you tried that fun fact? I know there was a meme claiming it, but I have never found any evidence of it actually being true, nor did I manage to replicate it on Amazon.

dev_null,

Since the 2014 release date.

What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? angielski

I remember fondly the days of playing Heroes of Might and Magic II, never played HOMM3 or anything after, but as I looked at the latest and most “recent” heroes games… they’re all rated/reviewed SO harshly. Apparently, they never gained steam like the earlier titles. RTS seems to have the same issue, tapering off....

dev_null,

I looked at the latest and most “recent” heroes games… they’re all rated/reviewed SO harshly.

Many of the negative reviews are (and rightly so) because of Ubisoft forcing you to use their crappy launcher, adding DRM, and otherwise making the customer experience horrible, and not because there is anything wrong with the genre.

dev_null,

Nobody is saying it’s enforceable. It’s just a shitty thing to do when someone shows you something in confidence, asks not to share it, and you publish an entire news article about it. It’s just a dick move. Obviously nothing illegal about it.

dev_null,

What’s up with everyone calling it ugly? It’s a shit car, but I think it looks cool. Something that has no place in reality, but fitting in a video game.

dev_null,

The cybertruck has enough issues that I wouldn’t want one, but yeah I would like a car looking like that, if it was actually a good car not made by Tesla.

dev_null,

Then it would be good. But they already tried making one.

dev_null,

What do you suggest would go wrong? I never even gave Steam my name, so how would they even know it’s different?

dev_null,

Do we really think video games are promoting violence?

No, that’s not their argument. They are saying the gun manufacturer advertised their real life gun in the video game. They don’t have an issue with video game violence, they have an issue with advertising weapons to children.

dev_null,

So that if you leave the room to make yourself a tea or something while the game is loading, your won’t miss the cut scene / beginning of the action / lose the game because it started without you present.

dev_null,

I was also confused what the European Space Agency has to do with this

dev_null,

Never had that problem, because I didn’t even know there is a wireless version.

dev_null,

In Vermintide when you open a crate (the primary reward for doing things in-game), what is inside is based on what you already have, so even though everything rewards you with the “same” crate, you always get better and better gear from them.

dev_null,

But you could freely rotate in new accounts. Now you have to wait a year.

dev_null,

Or… siblings?

dev_null,

Since this is an MMORPG, how so you prevent cheating? Since this works offline, what prevents someone from faking the steps count and reporting to the game that they totally made 50000 steps while the phone was offline for 24 hours?

Looks amazing! But this was my main worry here.

dev_null,

On 4, this just changes the question to spoofing the pedometer value rather than spoofing the location. Which makes it worse, because that’s much harder to detect.

dev_null,

Sounds good! Thanks for the answer

dev_null,

I played Ark, got a random disease that apparently can only be healed with items from a high level area and didn’t go away on death. So my options were: play with the disease for the foreseeable future or restart from scratch and lose days of progress.

I chose to uninstall.

dev_null,

What’s wrong with live service games? Soulless AAA games tend to be live service, but so are good games. All of MMO’s are a live service and many are good games (if MMO’s are your thing).

dev_null,

Or they don’t disappear, servers are released or reverse engineered and the community takes over. Yeah, in many cases it doesn’t happen and companies often try to prevent that, but then that’s the shitty thing. The fact the game was live service didn’t prevent preservation in itself or require the developer to make a bad game. It often goes together, yes, but it’s not an inherent property of it.

dev_null,

Elite: Dangerous is all right. Buy once, no subscription or other crap, really cool in VR. Or World of Warcraft (I played it over 10 years ago, so not sure about now), had a really good time, don’t remember any bullshit from the devs.

dev_null,

I see lots of MMOs that become ran by the community on private servers after the developer stops supporting it. It’s crap when companies try to stop that, but the game being a live service isn’t a problem in itself.

dev_null,

Blizzard today just has nothing to do with Blizzard back in the day

dev_null,

Yeah, my point boils down to “nowadays live service games tend to contain lots of antifeatures and bullshit practices”, but the concept of a live service game is not inherently bad.
