rimjob_rainer,

If I want to play Persona 4, I boot up P4G on my Vita, I don’t need another remaster.

But I don’t know if I need this revival either.

rimjob_rainer,

Needs to raise money to get cancer treatment. America is a real dystopia.

rimjob_rainer,

Wow, it looks… awful.

Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed (www.pcgamer.com)

I’ll be honest: I think matchmaking is just a better experience for how I like to play FPS games. I never got a sense of “community” from sticking with a given server; I would come to find something like it via Discord years later but not just from frequenting a given game server. My server browser experience was mostly...

rimjob_rainer,

Vote with your wallet and don’t buy this. Many years ago we’ve got dedicated servers and free map builders. Nowadays we get matchmaking and 3 maps and additional 3 for 20 bucks.

rimjob_rainer,

Our politicians call us lazy, the rich go on TV crying because they can’t find people willing to work for minimal (or below) wage

This sounds like Germany. I think it’s the norm in many countries by now. We already entered late stage capitalism, at this point it will only become worse.

rimjob_rainer,

Complete overhaul within a year. Would take 5 years nowadays.

Reuters: New research backs up that video games can be an antidote to stress and anxiety [interactive article] (www.reuters.com)

This article is a bit broken on Firefox so I highly recommend playing this on anything Chromium, but it’s really cool - they essentially turned the article into a webgame to showcase the mental health benefits of a cozy video game.

rimjob_rainer,

Woah, I couldn’t tell that my relaxing daily singleplayer gaming sessions in the evening are a stress relief without this research.

rimjob_rainer,

Good point

After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game (www.pcgamer.com)

In the graveyard of live service games Concord may just be the biggest headstone, and that seems to have focused some minds over at PlayStation. Previously the noises coming from Sony were all about the importance of live service games to its future strategy, and it had announced plans to launch more than 10 live service games...

rimjob_rainer,

Why did they make an expensive game like Concord which nobody wanted? Don’t they have market analysts or something like that? Everyone was able to tell them beforehand that it will flop.

rimjob_rainer,

Live service games generate a constant income with minimal effort once it’s live. It will only die if players stop spending money on such games.

rimjob_rainer,

Can’t wait… for a Switch 2 emulator

rimjob_rainer,

Didn’t Nintendo already sue many individuals and ruin their lives?

At least this one: videogameschronicle.com/…/switch-hacker-gary-bows…

rimjob_rainer,

Cyberpunk 2077

rimjob_rainer,

Also age of account? Mine is 21 in just over a week…

Then there will be a market for steam accounts (if there isn’t one yet)

rimjob_rainer,

My favourite games don’t look nearly as good as in my memory. Graphics don’t matter, they might even hurt, because there is less left to imagination.

rimjob_rainer, (edited )

Beer (without alcohol) was part of the daily diet in the history (e.g Egyptians). You can pretend it’s the same case here.

rimjob_rainer,

Violence and gore? 13+. Some boobs? Adults only.

Killing good, love bad.

rimjob_rainer,

I’ve actually got some space cowboy vibes, so the swords in the end felt kind of weird. But I’m cautiously optimistic.

Day 143 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pixelfed.social)

Today’s game is Mario Kart 64. I wanted to kick back today, so i booted this up and drove a race in Toad’s Turnpike. I wanted to get some more progress in on SH2 before the motivation i have burns out, but oh well. Worst case scenario i shelve it and pick it up sometime later....

rimjob_rainer,

I used to play it with my sister, too. Makes me want to dust off my N64 and bring it with me on Christmas to battle it out once again.

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world)

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

rimjob_rainer,

Steam le good, Epic le bad. Amirite? Updoots pls.

rimjob_rainer,

People will buy it. And then they will wonder why content quality declines and more and more micro transactions appear in a game they bought and pay subscription for.

The capitalism will always look for the easy route to even more money, and monkey brains with need for status symbols will follow.

My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them

After playing World of Warcraft for 15 years, I started becoming increasingly bored and disgruntled with the game. The game being grindy and repetitive is no real surprise, I mean it’s an MMO. But the one thing that was really frustrating was paying monthly for a subscription and a huge chunk of cash for an expansion, but...

rimjob_rainer,

Welcome to capitalism. Big gaming companies do not care about games anymore, they care about how to maximise profits. Their games are manipulative and developed together with psychologists solely to get your hard earned money at any opportunity. They got so good at it, that they are able to release pieces of software which are looking like games but actually are milking machines and no games at all.

You just have to take a step back and you will be able to easily differentiate between products of corporate greed and games.

Games once were supposed to be entertaining and even art. And there are still some, mostly indies.

rimjob_rainer,

I think this was my last console, I’ll return to PC.

rimjob_rainer,

Good

rimjob_rainer,

The characters aren’t real

rimjob_rainer,

Ocarina of Time is the mother of modern 3D gaming with Z-targeting.

rimjob_rainer,

I think he means Mobas or Tower Defense games

rimjob_rainer,

Dota 2 wasn’t that popular.

rimjob_rainer,

It’s gonna disappoint

rimjob_rainer,

Yes, and I bet it will be a soulless husk of the original.

rimjob_rainer,

Capitalism and politics

rimjob_rainer,

I thought this was about hunting as a pastime

rimjob_rainer, (edited )

Discord is the antithesis to free web. Stop using it. I won’t join any community using discord.

Oh yeah, and fuck Nintendo

rimjob_rainer,

Until ten years ago we used TeamSpeak for voice chat, IRC and forum for text. You can host all of them yourself. Today we have the fediverse and matrix. The problem is that kids get caught by the likes of tiktok and discord (because they are easily accessible with no other requirements than a phone or pc) and they can’t get away from them.

rimjob_rainer,

It’s a closed system owned by a single company. If you provide data or information there, the company owns the data, other people can’t find the data using search engines and they would need an account to access the data. Imagine the internet is owned by a single company and they could sell, change, censor, delete restrict access to or use the information in means you cannot predict.

rimjob_rainer,

Taking console wars to the next level

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

rimjob_rainer,

They had soul

rimjob_rainer,

Imo they shouldn’t do Witcher 4, you should stop when it’s best. They won’t be able to meet the expectations and only disappoint when people compare it to W3.

rimjob_rainer,

You are exaggerating, I played it all and it took somewhere between 200 and 300 hours (including side content and most raids at least once).

rimjob_rainer,

Same for me, I wanted to introduce someone into WoW during COVID and for nostalgia reasons, only to see that they took away the adventure and exploration and transformed it into a soulless husk. I dropped it immediately.

rimjob_rainer, (edited )

No

Edit: sorry I just found where I can view my playtime on PlayStation, it was 413 hours without endwalker

rimjob_rainer,

I just finished it the first time and hoped to play the DLC soon, because I usually don’t come back to a game for DLC. Quite disappointing.

rimjob_rainer,

Nintendo took 6 years for a mere DLC for BotW.

Can someone explain to me why Honkai: Star Rail is treated as something other than trash? I keep seeing posts about it, all over.

It’s a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It’s not up for debate. If you’re here to debate that point, please don’t even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that....

rimjob_rainer,

Username doesn’t check out

rimjob_rainer,

Is this a troll post? Who cares in which store it’s available, just get a physical copy.

Steam shills are really mind boggling.

rimjob_rainer,

Tell Sony, they got so fucking greedy with their PS Plus.

rimjob_rainer,

I enjoyed all of them and FFXVI too. I think it’s okay to reinvent FF combat every iteration to keep it fresh. I’m not sure if I’d enjoy a turn based combat today like I enjoyed it 20 years ago.

rimjob_rainer,

It’s the same with WoW, it was a better experience when you were just a foot soldier and not the hero and saviour of Azeroth.
