“Just a little whoopsie, sent a cease and desist to the wrong person. When I saw the public backlash, I definitely realized my mistake that was definitely a mistake to begin with” - Wizards of the coast





How do you suppose you have a live conversation on lemmy? And don’t say make a post, and then talk in the post. Lemmy is not set up for the type of communities we want, otherwise people would already be using it for that.





The weird multiverse story changes to ff7 remake are hot garbage that nobody asked for.


Turns out pushing out really high quality games, and then pushing out crap makes people not wanna buy the crap. Your name only carries you so far. But, the executives responsible for this shit will just close up the studio, run away with a golden parachute to the next company they’re planning on ruining.


How does that work exactly? You can’t retroactively sue someone over a patent before it was granted… in fact, once you realize the mechanic was already out there, and patent shouldn’t be granted at all.


Being forced to walk in certain places is a replacement for a loading screen. Some of your other criticisms are very valid. I hate that they fluffed out the games just so they could split it into three full ass games.


It’s a modern game, nobody but people who played the original would play it if the combat stayed the same. There are many criticisms of the game, but the change in combat isn’t one of them.


None that I’ve ever seen. It takes a lot of work to get good graphics even for 60 fps, a lot of optimization, that depending on the type of game, might be very expensive and time consuming to do.


Yes, 30fps is fine, and expected even if you’re also expecting ultra realistic graphics. This expectation that people have of games being 60 fps and being stupid realistic is nonsense. You want realistic graphics and reflections when a game is first released, your gonna get 30 fps. And honestly, you can hardly tell the difference anyway.

Edit: Always expect the downvotes when I say this. The people in gaming subs, almost never understand how games are developed. Just demand without understanding the limitations of hardware and software.


Ticket to ride is really fun. You kind of do your own thing building train routes the whole time. Not too much overlap to block other people unless you know the routes super well, and even then you don’t know what people are going for based on the routes they have to complete. All in all, it’s one of my favorite board games.


Generally the control im talking about is whether or not I can continue to play the game.

“A lot of game devs are sloppy about how they handle controllers” - making a game work for keyboards and controllers, and even more so allowing keys to be rebound, isn’t super straightforward. I make games in my spare time, so I encounter this all the time.


Yeah, when I want to emulate old games, I don’t really care if it’s legal or not, especially when I’m emulating it bcz it’s not available anywhere else.


I wouldnt buy a “digital only” platform service if they started paying me for it. No way in hell am I giving up what little control I still have over my physical console.


I don’t really celebrate murder, but I’m certainly not gonna mourn the loss of someone responsible for many preventable deaths bcz they wanted a bigger paycheck.


Ill probably buy the game just to spite Russia. The fuck do they care about some Ukrainian developers game? It doesn’t affect the war one way or the other… unless they’re afraid it’s going to humanize the Ukrainians.


I will say, i didn’t think the main story was that strong. But the huge amount of amazing side quests more than made up for it.


Oh you’re in for a treat. The side quests in Witcher 3 are legendary. I love everything about that game.


So we really are going for a dead internet. Nobody is going to want to interact with bots all day online. But maybe that’s the point, harder to organize organically on the streets without a presence online.


Can we stop posting screenshots of games on here. It has taken over the games sub, and nobody really cares about what you’re playing at this very moment.


It’s working, my desire to buy nintendo games is going down with every piece of news that comes out about them



I hate when I accidently spend months developing an ad feature that gets turned on by accident in my ps5.




At this point it’s starting to look like he’s intentionally tanking Twitter to remove a major platform where people can organize.

He’s making moves intentionally stupid that destroy the Twitter brand that was built up.


Yeah, I’m not surprised countries are trying to meddle in U.S. elections. We’ve done such crappy things, and everything is always in pursuit of making money and being a world super power.


I was reading an article about it after I asked this question. Apparently, the U.S. thinks they are strategically important to maintain access to oil in the region. Always comes back to oil… 😒


I don’t understand why companies have such a hard on for Israel. This is nuts. They’re literally committing genocide, and people are just shrugging at it.


I loved ff16, some people don’t like the batte system, but I found it to be really fast paced, and made me feel like I was a badass. The story us pretty good, in my opinion.

On the flip side, my friend played it and said it was fun, but the story was predictable.






Game engines are harder to make/update than you think, and if everybody’s expertise is in a homegrown engine, you cant just expect the team to know newer technologies at the drop of a hat.
