dinckelman,

Such a fucking sleazebag. A few hours ago he’s said all accusations against him are completely false, but now he’s figured out there’s no coming back, because his money is going away, and he’s trying to pull the rug back. Fuck directly off.

Anyone who ever liked watching this narcissistic pedo is beyond my understanding. What he’s saying isn’t even damage control. He immediately turned it around, and made himself the victim

dinckelman,

What are they going to sell then? More than half of their shops are poor quality merch, and own brand peripherals

dinckelman,

Normally, I would say that I don’t care when a game comes out, as long as it’s a genuinely good, complete experience. But knowing Bethesda, it’ll be another 5 years before we see anything, and then we’ll get an embarrassingly buggy title, that hasn’t innovated on anything since Fallout 3 came out.

I used to forgive them for anything, knowing that the modding community would just patch things anyway, but we’ve seen how Starfield was rejected by a ton of people with skills.

dinckelman,

That really is a pretty substantial part of it too. Modding at its core requires a good game, and everything else comes from people wanting to change parts of it, that aren’t necessarily to their liking. Bethesda somehow assumed that people would be willing to reimplement half of the game at launch. That just won’t slide anymore, for 70$

dinckelman,

Their announcement for the 30th anniversary implies that it is in early pre-alpha right now. Chances of it running on the same exact engine as Starfield are practically 100%

dinckelman,

Who knows, honestly. I’m not holding my breath for this game anymore. When it comes out, i’ll check it out, but if it’s in the same pitiful state as Starfield, then idk

dinckelman,

That’s the difference. I would wait a decade for a follow-up to Elden Ring. It was a genuinely incredible game in every way.

dinckelman,

Are the dlcs worth getting? I only have Rise and Fall. With the current bundle, I could snag the rest of them, for the price of New Frontiers alone. I can’t really say i’m huge into Civ, or knowledgeable about individual leaders though

dinckelman,

Ended up buying everything. Comes down to 19 Euro for just about everything, minus the game, and the dlc i already owned, so if I end up playing with friends, it’s not a bad deal at all

dinckelman,

I’ll reserve my judgement until I experience the new content, but it felt like a player-made machinima at best. I’m incredibly excited about the new raid

dinckelman,

Even besides the corporate issues, I just can’t help but not like this handheld.

It looks like a cheaply built gamer device, and it feels like a cheaply built gamer device in the hand too. Between them and MSI, it’s almost as if they’ve put literally no effort into engineering anything, and just threw together a whatever they could, on the basis of a generic shell.

Not to mention that having ArmoryCrate is literally a downside in every way, and having 2 years of warranty NOW, after they showed up on FTCs radar, is laughable

dinckelman,

Every single time i’ve checked it out, it felt like a cheap eastern Diablo clone, except it had horrible networking issues, and a never-ending development cycle, that somehow never delivered any real content.

Quite a big shame that this doesn’t even have LAN

dinckelman, (edited )

Things like these prove to us, that they’ve learned nothing, after a decade of Siege

dinckelman,

So much to unpack in the trailer. Not to mention that they’re intentionally trying to gaslight us with possible theories. Really well done. Now we just gotta see if the content lives up to the expectations

dinckelman,

They want to ensure their business is working well, so they shutdown the parts that were working well, and left those that are failing miserably. Logic checks out

dinckelman,

The Switch Pro controller has been my favorite, however it has two issues. The trigger buttons are just a switch, so if you’re into arcade racing games, that’ll be rough. The other is that the rubber pads on the thumbsticks are questionable quality, and can also become quite slippery from the oils in your skin

dinckelman,

I’m considering changing to it, but i’d like to try it out somewhere first. Quite a pricetag for something that might be less comfortable

dinckelman, (edited )

Microsoft and Google really aren’t too dissimilar, in a lot of ways. The only reason why Xbox still exists isn’t because they’re so incredibly passionate about it. There was a niche for them to make money, and they’ve created a product in it, that has the minimum viable qualities to complete. Issue is that just as Google does, they stopped caring about it entirely, after the initial pitch

dinckelman,

Because being received well isn’t what Microsoft are after. They’re after making as much money, as (un-)realistically possible, even if it means shutting down things. This isn’t the first, and definitely not the last time. They’ve had more than a handful of studios with iconic IPs, that got absolutely annihilated after acquisition

dinckelman,

Just because a signal is sent, it doesn’t mean it’ll be received. We all know that practically any other major brand will still pump and dump e-waste, filled to the brim with mtx

dinckelman,

Truth be told, i don’t have an ounce of care in me about this community council. I want them to make a product that was advertised, because so far it’s just a scam of colossal orders of magnitude (ha)

dinckelman,

The way how Nintendo has a complete inability to understand modern, usually online, entertainment services, is truly an achievement. Just creating an NNID for your console is already a colossal pain in the ass, but it doesn’t begin or stop there. The way how fairly modern games got their entire service lineup completely shutdown is just unacceptable

dinckelman,

Why can’t we ever have anything nice

dinckelman,

Given the rest of the updates, i’ll close my eyes to it. Just disable the menu with a mod, as always, and just forget it was there

dinckelman,

That’s quite a huge update

    dinckelman,

    Probably do, but definitely not with default Git. Bunch of game devs use perforce, or some kind of a modified version of a different version control

    dinckelman,

    Just because you only know three games, it doesn’t mean the rest of us do too. Slay The Spire, and Darkest Dungeon, are a couple of really well known and community loved indie games. Both excellent examples of what can be done with limited resources

    dinckelman,

    Some “niche community” with a game that’s in the top100 most active games on Steam alone, 5 years after release

    dinckelman,

    Time will tell. On paper, yes. In practice, who knows

    dinckelman,

    Taking lessons from Nintendo. At least it’s not backwards/downwards firing, but doing this kind of shit requires a manufacturer to be as daft as Dell. That’s not an easy feat to achieve

    dinckelman,

    Cancellation like this aren’t always bad. Especially given BG3 as a whole, sometimes it’s good to just ship a complete product, and move onto newer things. They earned a break

    dinckelman,

    Huge fan of that game. Can’t wait for the second one

    What does getting "delisted" off Steam means for games I already own? angielski

    Recently I’ve seen news about adult swim games going delisted probably off steam, one of my fav games is published by adult swim games and I want to know what will happen to it, will steam strike it off my list even if I have it installed? Will I still be able to back it up and restore its backups? Will I still be able to...

    dinckelman,

    Nothing changes for you, if you already own them. They’ll still be in your library like before. Visually, the only difference will be that those specific games will have no store page

    dinckelman,

    I’ve been pretty much all-digital since… Steam came out. Outside of Switch games (I dont trust Nintendo with how they handle their NNID system. it’s just janky), it doesn’t really make sense for me to buy physical copies. The obvious benefit there is resale, but I can rarely afford new games, so by the time I either get them, or finish playing them, they’ve already dropped in value entirely

    dinckelman,

    I feel really bad for the talent that’s getting laid off, however

    i ain’t opening this website

    dinckelman,

    I lowkey could not figure out how to properly play the first game, so hopefully all of that got a little more streamlined in the sequel

    dinckelman,

    A delayed game/dlc is always better than a rushed one

    dinckelman,

    That’s a whole separate can of worms. I don’t have any respect for studios, that actually force people to work hours like this, just to hit some arbitrary deadline, that they imposed on themselves

    dinckelman,

    Just because the Ubisoft CEO comes up with new flashy words to describe something, it still won’t make up for the fact that this is an awful, unpolished, and unfinished game, just like pretty much anything else Ubisoft released in the last decade, as a first-party developer

    dinckelman,

    Companies like Embracer are a disease. Their leadership are taking any passion out of the art, and continue running the money printing machine with no oil between the gears

    dinckelman,

    Those are some incredibly favorable reviews. Always good to see.

    I’m still about halfway through Like a Dragon 7, but i’m really burnt out from playing all the games prior to it, so i’ll be taking a look at 8 at some point later

    dinckelman,

    Not unexpected, but sad. Hope they make it. ELEX is a mess, but there is definitely still hope

    dinckelman,

    Ubisoft make it pretty easy for me. I don’t have to worry about any of this, because none of their recent titles have been worth spending your money, let alone time on

    dinckelman,

    I love Prison Architect, but I have absolutely 0 trust in Paradox, as they stand today

    dinckelman,

    If that were the case, thankfully Steam support is pretty good at helping with issues like this one. I had an account stolen from me over 10 years ago. New display name, new email, new password. Didn’t remember the login itself, but I had a cd-key and the original email that was attached to the account. They recovered that pretty damn quickly

    dinckelman, (edited )

    Cruelty Squad is very often overlooked because of how it looks, but it’s genuinely one of the best indie games I have ever played

    dinckelman, (edited )

    Same experience here. I’ve already owned the base game, but none of the DLC. It let me accept Spacer’s Choice, which is literally just another store entry for the base game, but you can buy the upgrade for 10$ instead of 17$.

    Update: I’ve done some research. Apparently this version of the game is like a third-party remaster done by a different company, hence why it’s a different entry in the store

    dinckelman,

    I am shocked that this is actually happening. Between continuous performance issues, and the overall “maintenance mode”-like state of the game, I definitely did not expect for them to start working on something of this scale. Definitely looking promising
