You’re right. I shouldn’t be reading articles that early.

Why the fuck do developers think we want to fly through rings??

Unfiltered communication gets an 18 rating, but loot boxes get a 12 16 😮‍💨

*looks at the six other games in my Gamefly list that come out in April that I’m honestly more interested in*

Ok

*surprised Pikachu*

God, I love being able to block people on Lemmy. Please block me too. Let’s never see each other again.

LOL, yeah person that got a college degree in making video games doesn’t understand basic terms used to describe how gameplay feels. Sure, bud.

I’m not invalidating how you feel about Lords of the Fallen or FromSoft games. I’m literally just stating (for some reason, repeatedly) that people feel differently about different things. I couldn’t give a flying fuck what games you enjoy, nor should you give a flying fuck about what games I enjoy. Just because we enjoy games at the other person does not doesn’t mean that the other person enjoys shit games.

Saying opinions are facts doesn’t make them so, just because they’re your opinions. I guess you had a skill issue with the original Lords of the Fallen, huh?

I disagree. I played it all the way through, yet I never managed to play any of the Fromsoft games more than maybe 10 minutes because I feel that they are too clunky.

I’ll take the original Lords of the Fallen over the new one or any of the Dark Souls games any day. People have different tastes.

I hate everything about this. I hope it does well enough that it doesn’t shut down their studio.

lol, look at OP’s only other post. Looks like another account for my block list.

For anyone interested in this, I would also recommend reading the original dev diaries: https://www.jordanmechner.com/en/books/journals/

I really enjoyed the read, personally.

Funny enough, the original is the one I like. Hated the reboot.

I’m so tired of game naming trends. Let’s not make any mention of the sequel being a sequel and name the third game number two!

It was okay. Nothing exciting, but one aspect of it that I did like is that you can choose to watch your choices happen in real time after you finish a level, which - although not the smoothest - does actually make it feel like John Wick just rolled through.

Agreed. I really wish more multiplayer games would put in bot options. I am firmly an anti-PVP player, but I would play the hell out of some of the big PVP games if they gave me a pure PVE option.

To be fair to MS, they bought that with Rare a long time ago, and they have put out a perfect dark game since then.

Thanks for the correction. I was also looking forward to Perfect Dark. Been a big fan since the original on N64, hence the username.

Fuckers buying up studios and then shutting them down. I knew this was going to happen.

Yes, a physical copy that is not on sale is often cheaper than a digital copy that is not on sale, but a digital copy that is on sale is often significantly cheaper than a physical copy that is on sale.

The example you gave is a poor one as you’re talking about a digital edition with DLC included vs a used physical edition with none of it. Comparing apples to oranges does not help your argument.

The thing is that that has nothing to do with Sony, though. Sony gets a 30% cut on game sales. That’s the same amount that Valve takes. You can sell your game for however much you want. Sony isn’t enforcing high base game prices like Nintendo. I fully support this type of lawsuit against Nintendo. Fuck them.

Yes, digital games are by and large more expensive than their disc counterparts a while after release, but digital games also regularly get put on significant sale, which often makes them cheaper than the disc versions. If you’re not waiting for sales to buy them, I’m not sure why you’re buying them at all.

To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn’t bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don’t remember at this point).

It wouldn’t have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you’re talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what’s so surprising to me.

It looks like it has nothing to do with Plague Tale.

Might want to update your other post too.

I don’t like how time works.

Longer than your preferred range, but Helldivers 2 games generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. The absolute maximum a game could possibly last for is 42 minutes.

Fantastic speech! So happy I decided to watch it!

Seconding Dying Light 1 and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you’re open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.

I didn’t realize that Netflix actually bought the studio. I just thought they licensed the game or something.

This is my biggest problem. I don’t like the real-time combat. When I originally played the demo of part one of the remake and discovered it was real-time combat, I went into the settings to change it to turn-based, only to discover there was no such setting. Stopped playing pretty soon after that.

If you can’t play with a light gun, what’s the point?

Ghost of Tsushima felt the same to me. Great characters and a beautiful world, but the gameplay felt bland. I was happy to finally get to the end because I didn’t have to play anymore.

I’m also a programmer, and have long suspected I have ADHD. I have thought about getting an official diagnosis and trying the meds, mostly because I want to play games again, and I wonder if that would help me focus. I don’t have any trouble focusing at work most of the time.

I’m in my thirties, child-free, work from home at a job I love, have plenty of disposable income and free time, have a passion for games and their development, and I still struggle to sit down and play something most of the time. I don’t even (usually) play games that expect regular participation. The struggle is real.

Yep! That’s why everyone was wondering WTF before it came out.

This update will also include a beta version of a new feature that many fans have been asking for – support for cloud streaming on PS Portal. When the update is live, PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to participate in a beta for cloud streaming on PS Portal, allowing select PS5 games in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog* to be streamed directly from our servers, even without a PS5 console.

It’s interesting that it specifically mentions the Series X. My understanding is that anything released on Series X must also run on the Series S.
