raptir,

Planning on hopping on as soon as the kid’s in bed!

raptir,

Why does a game cost that much to make? I’m not saying every game should be an indie, but given what indies can accomplish it’s a little ridiculous to spend $125 million.

raptir,

Mortal Kombat. I know it’s technically inferior but I find the style and characters a lot of fun.

Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I use a dual shock 4 via Bluetooth on my PC (Windows) and I’m tired about the workarounds required to have it working all the time. Sometimes it needs steam open, sometimes instead having steam open will confuse the game, and so on. And by default the light is off when connected so I never know if it’s o, off, low battery. I...

raptir,

I’m not sure about Windows, but it works out of the box on Linux.

raptir,

So if Google sold its phones at a loss then Epic would have no problem paying the fee? Sure.

The more interesting part of the argument is saying that people will contact Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony for technical support with a game and expect them to help while Apple or Google would send you to the developer.

Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

raptir,

Not a new discovery, but I rediscovered Torchlight 1 and 2. The Steam Deck controls make it a lot smoother to play than a mouse.

raptir,

I’ve been deep in the Android emulation rabbit hole for a while.

RetroArch is a great all-in-one solution, but it can be tricky to customize. For example, you can’t move on-screen controls through any sort of interface, but need to edit a configuration file to do so. It also won’t automatically adjust the controls to the game you’re playing - you would need to manually override the configuration to use an SNES overlay for SNES games. That said, the default “retropad” on-screen controls work fairly well for most consoles if you don’t feel like customizing all of them.

RetroArch is going to provide the most accurate emulation cores for basically everything up through the N64/Playstation. Is it the best? If you take a few minutes to learn how to customize it then definitely. In addition to being accurate, it has a great system for video shaders that work across all consoles.

Outside of that Dolphin is solid for GameCube/Wii. Yuzu is available for Switch but only some games will be playable.

raptir,

48 courses that are truly remade rather than copy-pasted in (support MK8 features) for $25 doesn’t seem too bad to me.

raptir,

Why can’t we just have cool multiplayer modes in games instead of a separate game?

raptir,

I have a super weird experience from my childhood.

I played Asheron’s Call for a long time. If you aren’t familiar the game had an interesting guild system where you would have a “patron” and XP would pass up to that patron. So experienced players would help out their vassals to both keep them progressing but also to keep them sworn to them and generating XP.

I had found a cool patron who helped me out a lot. We got talking and it turned out he lived in my town, and his younger brother was actually in my class the next year. I never really hung out with the guy I played AC with but me and his younger brother became friends.

raptir,

Multiplayer has been in for more than 6 months if you want to check it out now.

raptir,

Controller support has been solid for a while. The inventory/skills interface is eh but you can play pretty well with a good variety of builds. Agree with the other poster that mouse targeted skills are always going to be a problem.

I had been playing on GFN but put it on my Steam Deck recently and it plays great.

raptir,

AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U

Yeah that’s plenty for 3ds.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games? angielski

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

raptir,

For survival/crafting/whatever games - let me adjust drop rates and toggle things on and off individually, rather than just choosing a difficulty.

What I mean by this is looking at something like Ark versus Subnautica. Ark gives a super fine grained level of customization around spawn rates and other settings. You don’t even need to strictly enable or disable hunger but can set the decay rate, for example.

raptir,

Enclave. I picked up the Xbox version in a clearance bin somewhere. It’s a really solid level-based action adventure game.

raptir,

Awesome, well whatever you did for it, good work.

raptir,

How have I never read that? That’s amazing.

raptir,

And then we have NC Soft still running the Guild Wars 1 servers.

raptir,

It’s a solid game - if you aren’t familiar, Neocore also made The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing which is another fun Action-RPG.

The builds and itemization aren’t quite as in depth as some of the competition, but it’s a fun “hack and slash” action RPG. Well worth your time. Both of them (Van Helsing and Inquisitor) honestly.

raptir,

If you like Diablo-likes, there’s…

  • Grim Dawn (new expansion just announced)
  • Last Epoch
  • Warhammer 40k Inquisitor
  • Chronicon (simple graphics but solid gameplay)
  • PoE of course but I don’t need a second job
raptir,

I enjoy Diablo 3 for the “arcadey” aspect, but Grim Dawn is my top ARPG. I was so excited when they announced another expansion.

raptir,

I wish they would bring this to PC.

raptir,

That… is not at all specified what kind of “mine” it would be. You’re assuming it’s innocuous, everyone else is assuming it’s malicious. But we’re all making assumptions.

raptir,

They do not create native Linux builds, but for the most part they all work under Protein.

raptir,

…I kind of want this.

raptir,

Honestly there are so many great mods for Morrowind that it doesn’t need a remaster. You can get it looking pretty decent.

raptir,

I don’t know about that. The game has now removed all of the live service elements, so I would say it’s showing that there is interest in this type of game without the live service.

raptir,

I had it for Stadia and it was refunded when they closed, but for $4 I might buy it honestly. The “progression” was super flawed but the actual gameplay was fun.

raptir,

They forgot to make it fun.

raptir,

I don’t think Doom can be Doom without its music composer.

Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Doom 64 and Doom 3 would all like a word with you.

raptir,

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

raptir,

By the same token, I don’t see a big deal about the pronoun choice. Just choose She/Her or He/Him. You don’t have to choose They/Their.

raptir,

My whole point is that there’s no reason for this mod to exist.

raptir,

You’re leaving out what’s really the key problem with the new pricing, which is that it is per install. It’s an unlikely but very possible scenario that a developer could lose money (inexpensive game with an abnormally high number of reinstalls).

The pricing incentivizes “live service” or ad-supported games that constantly extract revenue from users rather than “buy once” games.

raptir,

I’m usually one to say games are fine as is and don’t need a remaster… but these show their age

raptir, (edited )

You’re confusing “free” (as in freedom) with open-source.

ETA: you’re correct that Unreal is source available, but a lot of what you listed is not required to be open source.

Dune: Spice Wars review: a compulsive 4X that both nails and wastes its source material (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

This realtime 4X makes great use of Dune’s furniture in crafting a compulsive, busy, and well-made strategy game, and its new campaign is a great addition. But the soul of Dune remains elusive, leaving its desert planet feeling barren in the wrong ways....

raptir,

There’s a campaign, just not a story mode. It’s a conquest-style, like what Dune 2 pretended to have (but was obviously scripted). Like Dawn of War: Dark Crusade or Soul Storm.

raptir,

Nah. I understand the ask for a more curated store, but I don’t want to make it harder for developers to get their content out there.

raptir,

It wasn’t even Sennheiser, it was a company Sennheiser had licensed their name to.

It’s really unfortunate that Sennheiser has diluted their brand so much. Between this deal with Epos and their consumer division going to Sonova, it’s hard to tell what’s actually still made by Sennheiser. I imagine it will become more evident as Sonova starts designing new products and they start to diverge.

raptir,

Nintendo fans are used to “buy the game, maybe an expansion, and you have everything to play as long as you want.” When you tell those same people that karts and racers need to be won from loot boxes and that the hardest difficulty is locked behind a subscription, you lose a lot of the hype.

List of specific video game communities on the Threadiverse, feel free to comment with more (kbin.cafe) angielski

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links....

raptir,

The hero we need.

raptir,

!lastepoch

raptir,

For whatever reason, your post is just showing as !community rather than !community@instance.tld. When I click on your links it is taking me to a kbin search results page, while when I click on ram’s links it is taking me to the communities viewed via my instance.

Edit: I’ll just add, I know it sounds like you tried to do it the right way and it didn’t work. But most people don’t even try and just copy/paste the URL as viewed from their instance so thank you for at least making an attempt!

raptir,

I love how the author of the article says that From Software should put out ports of the old games (and maybe remaster them while they’re at it) but you know when they review the package they’ll give a low score, say the game “really show its age” and “is only recommended for hardcore fans.”

That’s not quite fair - Polygon had good things to say about the Cowabunga Collection for example.

raptir,

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. They want to sell you digital version specifically because you can’t resell them. It could easily be solved by creating a digital marketplace, and even turn a profit for the publishers by taking a cut of resales.

raptir,

They’ve improved monster density, but it’s still just… meh. I picked it up because I didn’t want to miss season 1. I was seriously forcing myself to play it and decided to just quit.

raptir,

With TV/movies that are made for streaming this seems to be some classic Hollywood accounting. They are taking the write-offs in the cancelled content, while keeping subscribers strung along with the promise of new projects. The question is how long until consumers stop buying it.

raptir,

I honestly did not know Volition was Parallax.
