I am so ready to just cancel my game pass. This shit just pisses me off.


What exactly is the point of buying these game studios to just shut them down?





But what they don’t take into account is that 75% all at once creates an excitement buzz around the game that ends up causing even more sales then would ever happen otherwise. Look at games like Pokémon go or PalWorld that generated so much buzz. I tried both of them because of the hype and I normally wouldn’t have bothered otherwise.


Holy shit, this is a VR game?!?? Some of these images would cause me to literally shit my pants. It’s creepy as fuck.

But I want to play this SO bad.


And even then it’s sometimes impossible because how much can you keep in your head at once. Everybody specializes on these large projects. I may have 30000 ft view of how things operate but getting down into specifics can be hard. I have some intimate knowledge of the learning management system we develop for, which is way less complex than most games, and there are always little gotchas when you make code or architecture changes.


Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.



Yeah that’s what I thought too. Until you try it. It’s like meth after that.



I’m wondering. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.


I only have the one ps5. I did have a ps4 if that matters. Tried to play like 5 games this afternoon. All of them had a lock on the icon and when I tried to play it complained about PSN.


And 99% of the games I “own”. So much for a relaxing Saturday playing games. Fuck you Sony.



And then they die when the servers are no longer maintained. Make more standalone games that don’t require servers.




Best I’ve done is 17052. This is a fun little time waster



  1. Entry Level Option: GeForce RTX 4060
  2. $400 - $500 Range: Radeon RX 7600 XT
  3. $500 - $700 Range: GeForce RTX 4070 Super
  4. $800 and above: Radeon RX 7900 XTX
  5. High-End Option: GeForce RTX 4080 Super





Yeah their stupid naming convention is exactly what was going through my mind reading that.



Fallout is proof you can make a video game show good and still be true to the original game. Halo was a completely different story they tried to throw the Halo brand on and didn’t give two shits about the game. Bungie should have sued them for slander…. or whoever owns the brand now.


I have a PS5 and I still do because I can’t afford $500 for the PSVR2 upgrade and I like playing Beat Saber.


Yeah exactly. And it’s often the only feedback that gets any attention unfortunately. It was getting media attention and getting very loud.

Plus the whole thing was just stupid. They could have accomplished exactly the same thing with little backlash by offering some little in-game trinket for voluntarily linking a PSN account where it was possible to get one. This wasn’t my idea, I saw it somewhere on Lemmy, but that person needs to get a job at Sony stat because the chucklefucks working there now have no clue.


According to the wiki page… “In May 2024, Take-Two announced it would shut down Intercept Games but continue to update Kerbal Space Program 2 under the Private Division label.”


I agree with your basic assessment.

As a mac user I’d love to see more mac games. I think it’s a relatively underutilized platform. Im not a game developer but it seems like one of the main issues of game development is the complete mishmash of supported hardware and different components and trying to optimize and support all of them. In that respect, macs seem more like consoles in their limited number of configurations and hardware variance so optimizations SHOULD be easier. Or at the very least not as complex. But macs are expensive and there is not a lot of overlap between gamers and mac. So therefore not a lot of mac games. It was easier when you could bootcamp and also play games on windows but that’s not really possible anymore.


This article is essentially written by an Epic fan boy that’s “hoping” Steam will eventually succumb to capitalism and commence the enshittification that is happening elsewhere.


Yeah I swear this was just like Halo.

  1. Find a movie script that was barely related to the thing it was originally supposed to be about

  2. Change a few small things in the script so it would seem like it was supposed to be about that original thing

  3. Slap a title on it that will drive ticket sales

  4. Profit.

It barely had anything to do with Rampage and I played a lot of that game when I was in high school.


So 3D Rampage. Hope The Rock will be in this movie too. He was kinda flat in the first one.


I would kill for my son to try to get me to play ANY video game with him, let alone BG3. I started playing D&D and video games over 40 years ago. He’s lucky to have a son like you. Hope you guys can figure this out.


So basically Google treated certain folks differently than others and Apple said “Fuck off” to everyone? Is that the gist?
