I dunno, I disagree with this. If you encounter an item that hasnt been referenced yet, the game doesnt make you brute force it; it’s simply an option. You can figure out most of the words just exploring the world and seeing events happen. The rest are logical deductions.

I had hopes for tribes 3 but I really don’t understand the decision to make smaller maps, and scatter little bits of terrain to bump into to halt your speed. Absolutely frustrating.

I kinda liked the base building aspect…but it was about impossible to really get into it when you got 16 randoms runnin around building stuff at the same time. Just pure chaos, lol.

Admittedly, I havent touched starship troopers since helldivers came out, so I dunno if they changed it or not. I’ve kinda been waiting for something like a 1.0 to try it again.

You forgot the part where you get angry, because your hdmi doesnt work with linux

They just think the article sucks, which it does lmao

It’s not that deep, dude

Pvp in general, really

Based on all of the changes discord has made over the past few years, its absolutely enshittification

IIRC didnt gearbox work with the original devs before on ror2? Not defending them, if anything that makes it even worse that they dropped the ball this hard.

I’m conflicted honestly. I like borderlands, 4’s obviously just gonna be a cash grab game with the movie released. But I felt like tiny tina’s was pretty good, they proved that they can toss a story aside and still have fun with the series. I’m hoping they channel some of that energy into 4, but who knows

Pretty sure the actual hunger games movie had more to do with that

Anthem was dead well before two years. They just straight up stopped updating it after like, 1 content patch.

“Omg we need to make more money for our investors!” and then they hire a bunch of consultants who sell them on bullshit like NFTs instead of making good games.

Now that the fallout show was a success, they’ll probably just put starfield on the backburner and wait till the heat dies down, then make a tv show about it. I’m willing to bet money on this.

Bots are bad again, to the point that you can’t even votekick them

I don’t think Embracer had any say on drg’s game development. If they did, well they were obviously more focused on buying too many game companies to care much about development.

IIRC they developed the game on an older game engine that’s no longer supported

Still sold a bajillion copies though.

I think all they’ve really learned is that they can push out whatever game they want, well-made or not, and it’ll sell.

I can’t imagine why someone downvoted this, unless one of the devs is here on lemmy, lmao

Cant remember but I wanna say yes

Smite 2 is rebuilding their game from the ground up, from unreal engine 3 to 5

That’s not really comparable to blizzard slapping the number 2 on their game

Honestly good question. My guess would be mobile game money, and based on their wiki entries mentioning nfts and blockchain, probably something with AI in the works

Reading the article, yeah it’s basically a “hey, buy 65$ worth of our virtual money and we’ll throw in this horse armor!” bundle.

There isn’t a way to get it ingame though. I think the only way to actually earn platinum is if you buy and complete the battlepasses.

I’m just sharing my opinion lol

I bought d4 on sale and I’ve gotten 110 hours out of it. Idk why I should be upset about some optional cosmetics that I’m never gonna buy.

Since the game’s selling at $20, one would hope they only put cosmetics in the shop

I’m just being pessimistic, hirez really didn’t handle ascend well at all. Definitely hyped for new tribes content and seeing what’ll come out of this one.

Here’s hoping they don’t do a huge shop overhaul, add a bunch of pay 2 win items, and kill off most of the playerbase

They made Crucible which got some hype, but it flopped hard. For a game that was in development for 6 years, it didnt feel like they playtested it at all.

Been playing Grounded with a buddy, highly recommend
