For every streamer that makes minimum wage there are dozens that make so little they don’t even get paid.

Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread angielski

As someone who grew up playing games like World of Warcraft and other AAA titles, I’ve seen how the gaming industry has evolved over the years—and not always for the better. One of the most disturbing trends is the rise of gacha games, which are, at their core, thinly veiled gambling systems targeting younger players. And I...

Seems about right. CSGO skin gambling was all the rage 10 years ago.

What category is games like Life is Strange and Until Dawn? angielski

So both Life is Strange and Until Dawn have what’s called the butterfly effect something that’s kind of a questionable concept at best but it’s somewhat real. Telltale was famous for games like this as well. But yeah it’s like depending on your actions it can change the story and thus play more like a movie with a...

Although certainly similar, the fact that these games have every scene fully animated does add to it in a way that simply reading descriptions about what’s going on doesn’t.

It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation angielski

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It’s true they’ve always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I...

Valve doesn’t want to make a buy to play game unless it’s something that pushes the medium forward somehow, which is the only reason Alyx was made. A PvP moba can be a source of continued revenue like all the other games they still support (and one they don’t).

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

If the other option ate those shitty games, then yeah, emulation it is.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

Do we even know anything about the game other than the fact it’s getting made?

Your examples are of bird’s eye view games, not third person.

Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 but not Dark Souls 3. The silver knight farm is brutal and I’d never do it again.

Guess getting the non k version had its perks afterall. Either way I’m going AMD next time I build a machine.

I mean when trash like Stray and Dave the Diver gets acclaimed as “indie” games, it’s no surprise actual indie devs are straggling.

It’s a game about diving that halfway through adds a bunch of minigames that make you not need to dive.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s the best part! Which is why it’s weird the game is bloated with other systems and minigames that pull you away from what shoulb be the core of it: diving.

You can just drop the sub now that it isn’t worth it.

Guess they want to make it easy for mobile devs to launch their games on steam. Not sure if there’s a market for it though.

Your favorite video game doesn't need a remake | Digital Trends (www.digitaltrends.com) angielski

Curious about y’alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze...

Actually From Software is pretty crappy when it comes to this sort of thing.

lorty,

Still shitty. No need to defend it just because it’s valve.

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

I somewhat understand what you are talking about but the buggy and poorly maintained Elite Dangerous isn’t the best example to support your argument. BG3 getting a pass on some features for the series S is exactly what other games should be able to do if it makes sense for them.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s a shame their new format of yearly expansions doesn’t really allow them to make new elite specializations. Many professions still feel unrealized in certain ways that new weapons can’t fill.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m thinking mostly from a fantasy angle. I’ll give some examples from the classes I play:

Warrior: lacks a spec focused on the defensive juggernaut fantasy that you infer from the class description. Hammer Spellbreaker kind of fits here but it’s a bit of a stretch of what a spellbreaker should be thematically. Also lacking is a commander/captain support spec, maybe something built around shouts and/or banners.

Elementalist: why is the only spec not about going in and smacking people in melee tempest? And even then the best weapon is the sword. There’s a reason newbs go in and try to make staff work as a ranged weapon.

Engineer: turret spec please.

Mesmer: maybe mirage kind of fits the core mesmer fantasy, but I’m not sure if the ambushes fit there. The other specs don’t really fit since it’s mostly about doing away with your clones.

Oh no, I might actually have to learn regex to pull this off

I feel this game won’t hold its audience for long.

If only it was just SE that’s loke this…

Why are people angry? This is exactly the kind of game valve has worked on for the last few years.

If it costs 200 million to take a shot, maybe it isn’t great odds.

This was running on a phone or something? What is that awful framerate?

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

I understand your point but you can also be satisfied with an early access game for what it had when you played regardless of later improvements. Valheim is a great example of this: you’ll be hard pressed to find someone that wasn’t satisfied with it, despite being unfinished.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

For the price, what was there was fine, but it was sold as early access and the later areas were basically empty.

Physical PC games don’t exist anymore.

And how much of a cut would you be taking Phil?

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s not a game for people that care about story or even the setting past the visuals and superficial vibes.

lorty,

Did the same for Skyrim. It wasn’t even that time consuming.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

Just an anecdote, but on the ffxiv subreddit and discords I lurk around there have been a LOT of xbox players going through the free trial for the first time. Considering you can play a lot for free and the series S being somewhat cheap, I can see this being a fair boon to the game.

GW2 has a huge cash shop of cosmetics, to the point you can barely get any by just playing.

Who was their previous partner/co-owner?

They are out of money after some Saudi investment money didn’t go through, so now they need to cut costs to stay afloat.

Well, at least the rumors will stop now. Absolutely nothing burguer of a video though.

Any Dark Souls with a heavy weapon. Just smashing those puny hollows into pancakes.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

There’s also the rumor they are exiting the console business, which is probably what is making people anxious.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

What you say is true but if you followed the reports you’ll know they fired the whole of the blizzard survival team, a good chunk of the Overwatch team and writers/story people from WoW. Very much not only the redundancies.

When are we getting cracked versions of gacha games so we can just do the story?

lorty,

This is barely anything compared to the cut they take from every steam sale

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s a shame they focused on making a impressive tech demo and forgot that it had to be a fun game.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

If this is more than just PR for regulators, then they’ll probably exit the console market.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree, they have no reason to allow it, specially to their biggest rival.
