Lol 4080 needed to get 60fps 4k… the ps5 has like a 1/4 of that power. Whats going on here guys?

BG3

I go through phases like this, and its best to try other hobbies for awhile. When you feel that drive to play again, you will know.

Heard a few gems in STALKER 2 “Better a lousy peace than an awesome gunfight”

How do you deal with the slowdown? It ruins late game for me

Project Zomboid, Valheim

No one tell Nintendo about Yarisute Mesubuta…

GN is the goat

Need to get back in to Zomboid. Cant wait for the new updates

I always heard that it was a common style for the working class, and Hitler was trying to ingratiate himself to them.

Its boring in long stretches. The story has decent hooks but the characters are a bit too cartoony and flat. Kind of a forgetable experience.

Its a big ask for a janky experience, but 7 days has, as you said, 1,000s of hours of content. Its not perfect but it is rare, and thats worth something IMO.

I mean isnt steam a third party too? I agree that having to use two third -party applications to play a game is too much. Just try to remember Steam used to be hated too until they became indispensable.

Final Fantasy doesnt need to cost $100+ million to make; especially when your only big idea is just to make it look expensive. Execs like to blame their own hubris on market changes but like… treat your workers better and give them creative freedom and they could do great things. Instead its all on the backs of money-grubbing trend-chasers who get to keep their jobs when their inevitable failures lead to mass layoffs.

Ya’ll spent 50 mil on marketing? I barely even noticed ffxvi came out. How much did Dunkey spend on marketing Animal Well and that shit was inescapable for weeks.

Prey was the true successor to Deus Ex and system shock. Its a miracle of technical design with one interconnected world that the gamers always say they want. Fun powers, a trippy story that demands to be seen through.

Sure but my buddy cracking jokes about work is just as immersion-breaking. Multiplayer is fun, but thats not the point i was making.

Multiplayer is antithetical to immersion for me. Im not an RP guy and some wacko yelling slurs over the mic isnt going to help me forget im playing a video game

Yeah, my buddies and I played a buttload of Conker multiplayer.

As long as I gotta launch bitchass uplay (yeah I know its not called that anymore) I wouldnt buy this mediocre shit for free.

Peak player count was less than 800 players on steam… Flop is an understatement.

Those 100 workers EA laid off dont deserve to be thrown in the trash; why dont the execs take a nice paycut instead?

Yeah, Starfield has no legs. I got bored with it pretty quick; for me that BGS spark is gone.

Cant remember the last “AAA” game i enjoyed.

Lol, this guy. If you got 60 bucks to throw away because of an internet comment I cant really help you.

So? I dont like your arguments. I will refute them. It is not for you to decide the tenor of discussion on this topic.

Transphobia will be discussed. Shouldnt matter to you. Maybe find something to occupy your time better.

Nah thats not what im saying. But the millions raked in by harry potter enterprises goes in to Rowlings pockets. Also, i dont weep for the devs, they were paid already…

Financially supporting a crusade against a minority group (trans folks) is one of my pet peeves

No smugness here, just disappointment.

Millions of people have bad taste. Shocker

Had this epiphany with the new Ass Creed. It launched on steam, but after buying it still has a second front end Ubisoft launcher. Thats just straught up lying to me about what im purchasing. I dont want Ubi Spyware. Period.

What Ubi wants means fuck all to me. Yall wanted us to buy NFT guns too, see how that worked out…

It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn’t keep. Now get off me nuts

Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.

Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

Iron Lung, perfect short-form horror.

Played through coop recently with a friend who’s also a series fan. The game is a bloated disaster. Too many reused assets, useless mechanics and a real icky feeling that all EA games have that they were designed by committee.
