dinckelman,

Everyone knew it would be a pump and dump

dinckelman,

Really not upset about it at all. They’ve lied to people, mislead everyone, gave false or incomplete descriptions of the product, and then released a horribly buggy asset dump, that doesn’t look anything like the pre-rendered clip they’ve shown forever ago

dinckelman,

They’ve done it with every generation of GTA recently. It will probably not come out at launch, people will buy the console version, and then suddenly it comes out on pc a year later. We’ve seen the tactic before

dinckelman,

I got bullied into buying World on release, and then another time on PC :|

dinckelman,

Sucks that it’s delayed, but at least they are giving us a pretty comprehensive list of what we can expect

dinckelman,

I wish we lived in a universe, where these platforms can exist on their own, without falling into the trap of needing financial support from literal satan, in companies like Fandom

dinckelman,

I genuinely just don’t understand the value proposition of this handheld. It’s remote play only, with no standalone capabilities, that also only works with the PS5. You could use your existing phone, and receive exactly the same product. Or if you’re committed to buying a handheld, you could absolutely get a Steam Deck, still receive the remote functionality, but also have a system that can not only play your PC games, but play like 5 generations of console games from the past

dinckelman,

This game is unironically one of the best indie games I’ve played recently. Just yesterday I was finishing it up on Hope Eradicated. Strongly, strongly recommended

dinckelman,

This is the only scenario where you must stop thinking, and just start doing

dinckelman,

There is 0% chance this has happened by accident. Someone ordered the developers to program for them to appear there, and that’s exactly how they ended up there

What do you think of Eastward? angielski

I think the pixel art style is great. At the beginning I also thought the game was very cool with a very intriguing story, but then the game started to ask me to do totally useless things for progressing in the story, like: go find the berry for cooking the meal for this person for no reason, but then something stupid happens so...

dinckelman,

I’ve finished the game, and thought it was a pretty decent experience. Pacing is a little weird, but the gameplay loop is fun, and the story is engaging enough. Grab it on sale

dinckelman,

I genuinely want to hear what he thinks the cause of this issue is. Surely he is intelligent enough to put one and two together.

If you continuously underdeliver, repeatedly ignore community feedback, gaslight people into thinking something other than what they believe, and then top it off with mtx of way higher quality than the game itself - that’s all we need to know.

Make a good fucking game, and people won’t have “waning interest”. Even the most die-hard fans within my friend circles have refunded TFS, and I fully understand why

dinckelman,

You don’t like standing in circles, and throwing energy orbs at things, for 22 seasons in a row?

Bungie CEO Claims Layoffs Were Due to Destiny 2 Underperformance - IGN (www.ign.com) angielski

In an internal town hall meeting addressing a Monday round of layoffs that impacted multiple departments, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons allegedly told remaining employees that the company had kept “the right people” to continue work on Destiny 2.

dinckelman,

I hate that they make it sound, as if it’s an impossible issue to solve. It’s underperforming because new people can’t figure out what to do in the game, and veterans cannot find enough things to do. You can only play crucible for so long.

They clearly have the artists and the engineers to do this, but they put all of that effort into new cash shop skins, rather than game content

dinckelman,

Michael Sechrist is also gone with him :\

dinckelman,

This will be abandonware by the end of 2024, without a doubt

dinckelman,

Vote with your wallet. Their execs can pull numbers out of their ass all day, but maybe they should cut some out of their salary for a change

dinckelman,

I’ve played this game for a few hours, and yes, it does run like garbage. That said, I could close my eyes to all of that, if they didn’t also launch the game with several infuriating bugs, and a handful of design choices I really don’t understand yet.

I’ll let it brew for a while. Hope is not lost, but I’m not ready to play this yet

dinckelman,

Buildings become indestructible once placed. Some roads don’t connect because of “invalid shapes”, while being as simple as it can possibly be. The endless high rent pop-up. Services not being detected despite them being literally next-door

dinckelman,

I feel really bad for the people working on these games. PAYDAY 3 will eventually reach success in a niche, but will likely be hated by those same people.

The objective behind a game like this, or Sims, or FIFA/FC, is not to create a great gameplay experience. Sadly, they make a passable game, that will help them leech money sustainably for a considerable amount of time, through endless DLC. Paradox will inevitably make Colossal Order do the same with C:S2, despite them claiming that it’ll be fewer but larger DLC.

There are very few studios I will refuse to show respect for, and the one behind PAYDAY is one of them. Just like what remains of Maxis

dinckelman,

If not for mods, I would not play 4 at all. It’s just bland. It has no soul. And don’t get me started on how broken the few recent expansions were. Not just “egh, an occasional bug that would prompt a restart”, straight up irreparable damage to your save, and broken features that are still not fixed

Use of AMD Anti-Lag+ technology in Counter Strike 2 will result in a VAC Ban, Valve confirms (videocardz.com) angielski

AMD has made an oversight in implementing their new technology that poses a significant issue for Counter Strike 2 players who have opted to utilize AMD’s AntiLag+. Recently, AMD introduced a new 23.10.1 driver allowing players to access this technology in the game. However, it has now been confirmed that utilizing this...

dinckelman,

Not even purely just a CS/Valve issue, which is the worst part. Anything that runs BattlEye struggles with rampant unpunished cheating, and yet they successfully ban anyone running legit systems, or software that has nothing to do with the game. Somehow it’s only getting worse, because a bunch of new games are introducing Ring0 anticheats, that have access to way too much information, but still fail to do what they’re designed to

dinckelman,

Difference is that Unity was generally favorable, until the recent blunders, while Epic has generally been disliked for quite a long time now, because of Tim acting like a complete cunt to a lot of people on the industry, including the consumers for his own products

dinckelman,

Just don’t give this any time of day. Even if this was a good game, Blizzard, let alone Microsoft, are shit companies you shouldn’t support. It doesn’t help that it’s also just a bad aRPG

dinckelman,

Once you turn what you love doing into a business, there’s no going back. There are still people deeply passionate about making games, but that’s just not the reality of these massive studios. They’re in for the money, and the leadership aren’t even… gamers themselves, somehow

dinckelman,

That’s basically all I do at this point, and it’s been really nice. A lot of genuinely fantastic experiences. Always labor of love, a game they’d love to play themselves

dinckelman,

Definitely not the only one. But it’s not just games either, it’s cinematography too. Or even food, really. When you watch 500 movies a month, everything looks exactly the same. Not to mention that half of these critics companies are completely untrustworthy, and often post either uneducated reviews, or just plain garbage. Think of something like IGN’s Redfall video. The game is obviously horrible, but the person playing it didn’t know how to hold a controller. Or the one with Cuphead, where they failed the tutorial.

tldr: I only really trust opinions of my friends. These review sites have no value

dinckelman,

At the end of the day, both FIFA and EA are horrible companies. No one should be giving them any money whatsoever.

The reality of things is that we all know that EA will launch their own brand, publish the re-badged FIFA titles under it, and then continue farming mtx money from people, who have no self-control

dinckelman,

Well, at least that’s good to hear. Glad the workers are treated well, but I’m with you otherwise. I won’t be spending any money on their titles

dinckelman, (edited )

If a game uses smooth locomotion, instead of teleportation based movement, I cannot play it without air blowing into my face, or sometimes been at all. Otherwise I have no issues at all

dinckelman,

I wish this were an expansion to 2 instead, along with bugfixes and server stability patches, that are very desperately needed. But then again, it’s Ubisoft we’re talking about. They will never fucking do this

The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 18-09-2023 (lemmy.world) angielski

Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...

dinckelman,

Finishing up Yakuza 6. Outside of that, I’ve been playing a mix of ESO and Guildwars 2, and enjoying some Rimworld, and Binding of Isaac. The last one basically never leaves my steam installation

dinckelman,

I’ve only played the DS game, and it was pretty solid, although a bit short. Definition going to take a look at it online

dinckelman,

Even if they do revert it, the trust has been lost. They’ve made mistakes before, but none as stupid as this one

dinckelman, (edited )

We just live in a dystopia. The leadership will milk you dry, for pennies, for short term profits. When you’re this greedy, you can’t see more than a day into the future. It’s just another reminder than corporations aren’t your friends

Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting? angielski

Over the years, there’ve been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn’t warrant it. There’s no reason for...

dinckelman,

Unless it’s an MMO, or something like an online aRPG, the tag “live-service” immediately means that you’re fully expecting to release an unfinished game, collect your preorder money, get backlash for the game being unfinished garbage, and then release a few patches as a “Sorry we got caught” excuse.

The days when you’d buy something, and you would know that is the final version of your software, have been over for a long time

dinckelman,

The point is that when you printed something on a disk, and had 0 capability of pushing patches down the road, you were forced to finish your product. Now it’s not the case, evidently

dinckelman,

My only wish for this console, is that it doesn’t launch with an SoC, that’s already a year outdated, by the time the thing is announced

dinckelman,

We all get what that means, and don’t think otherwise for a minute. It’ll be unfinished 70€ titles, requiring 3 30€ dlcs to feel mostly complete, requiring a paid 15€ subscription on top of that. We’ve seen this a dozen times too many by now. Nintendo are just always late to everything

In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam. (steamdb.info) angielski

After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.

dinckelman,

What is it with games like this lately? These titles are completely devoid of creativity, running exclusively on the promise of amazing UE5 graphics

dinckelman,

Personally, I don’t even care about the graphics that much. Sure, it’s breathtaking and all, but by themselves they get old so quickly
