It absolutely is. I’m not denying that.

Yes, but the game industry has faced severe layoffs the last couple years while profits soar ever higher and higher and executives get bigger boats. So it’s relevant.

Play them in order, you get more story out of it that way. I promise it will be worth it! BoTW is a master piece, and somehow they topped it with ToTK

Well, turns out people need to feed their families, keep a roof over their heads, and games are hard. 300k isn’t a lot of money to actually keep the lights on at a studio. Also keep in mind, depending on the tools you use, you could end up giving a portion of your game sales to the engine dev, then on top of that you have steam who wants a 30% cut for selling your game on their store. That’s maybe 50-55% left after all that depending on other bills and sales to fund anything after profits are left over.

Its beautiful <3

Why are people still on Facebook anyway?

Since when is flying on a monster patentable. What a bunch of bullshit. Nintendo has really used up the last of any good will the company had. I will not be giving them a dime from here on out.

Yeah, I read up on it a bit after making this comment. Kinda crazy that they were able to get Unreal graphics to render as the so called “front-end”. Definitely can’t do that out of the box.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Edit: you can downvote me all you want. That’s not how game engines work.

Can we stop flooding the game sub with these posts? I’m tired of seeing them.

Now i want to try the game

Pretty sure you can drop the ‘until I forgot’ part.

Oh no… anyways.

Windows 11 deserves to die in a dumpster fire.

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.

What exactly would you be breaking up? Steam isn’t a mishmash of companies…

If it was weekly I wouldnt mind. It’s every day…

I wish you would forget. I’m tired of down voting these stupid posts.

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

Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?

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

I don’t understand how genocide is good for business, but I’ll take your word for it.
