Pseudoregalia. Indie game with ridiculous movement tech. Very fun!

I get this for every notification type including slack and discord.

And 5.4 fixed a bunch of major issues from 5.3, particularly for artists.

Mario Odyssey’s luigis balloon world. Spent a lot of time on that

Psn requirement sucks, but it is a sequel to a game not a spin off. It’s a full length story, new and refreshed mechanics and upgraded engine etc. I don’t see how this is worth less than the first game.

The hardware that the switch is based on is much older than the switch itself, so it’s likely we’ll get this level of performance for the next switch.

Not sure where you heard this, but a galaxy s24 definitely cannot match the performance of a PS5

Shareholder wants that yummy fictional market share numbers and harvested user information.

Skyrim was good because sandbox, music, culture and mood. The parts that made it bad, were endearing.

I’d like maps not to become fully unresponsive after completing a trip

Publishers are kinda useless tbh.

Ue5 has powerful procgen tech that is used by a lot of developers.

I think it depends on context and execution and culture. Key and peele did a black Hitler I think, and nobody cared

Yeah good lock will let you disable it. I forgot I used that to hide the nav hint.

Go to your display settings and to navigation bar. You can change to gestures instead of buttons.

When you’re reliant on every penny you make, having part of your paycheck going towards a union can seem like a bad decision at face value.

Optimisation is hard, especially when it’s an afterthought. SMO was built from the ground up for the switch. Just like zelda. The switch is not a powerful console.

Sly Cooper on the ps5 is emulated, not a native port. I’ve played some of the emulated Sony games on ps4 and they do not run very well, because the ps4 has to run an emulator and the game, instead of just running natively.

Letting people who only have modern consoles and don’t know how to work computers properly play a game sounds like a good thing to me. Also additional QoL changes can fully transform a game from a tedious mess to actually playable and fun. That’s the best part about a remake. You don’t have to buy it if you don’t want it :)

Native ports, when done well, are just better man. It can make better use of resources and runs in a well supported ecosystem. Emulators are great but not ideal for experiencing games. It also puts a wall up for people to access games. The more people that can play the game the better.

The game is only currently playable on ps3/x360. Makes sense to at least port it to newer platforms. Emulation is rarely an ideal or stable solution.

Yeah you may be right. PS5 controller fits much better for me and the weight is nice. Ps4 controller hurts my hands with prolonged use as it is so small. Build quality on the ps5 is nicer too.

Do you have an example? Drm free is one of their selling points.

No need to use the app at all. The games on there are drm free. Run the game any way you want. That said, I like gog galaxy cos it keeps all the games I own on every platform together, and I use the search function to find the game I want and hit play. Or just hit view all and browse.

Would be good to see gog get more popular. Fuck drm

It’s using an ancient discontinued engine. Hopefully we see improvements with time

This is incredible. Would love to see this in Australia too.

The point was that divinity original sin 2 is a very successful and popular game. I wasn’t saying that divinity has more players, just that it’s not a hardcore rpg fan only game.

I’ve met more many people who have played divinity original sin 2 than the latest call of duty. If someone makes a good game, people play it.

You don’t have a problem with the game having purchasable fast travel and locking a character editor behind the pay wall?

They can’t strip it out cos it’s the foundation of the engine, and I know they still use some form of the original engine so it’s probably still there.

Am a professional game developer I can guarantee you that the quality of the code base of the average AAA game is no better than a small studio. It’s at times a lot worse, it’s just got better documentation or a bigger knowledge base. I hear the current call of duty engine is a nightmare to work on.

AAA literally just refers to games published by big publishers that are large scale and have huge budgets.

What does that even mean… Elden ring is as AAA as it gets.

You can’t board ships yourself? Man that’s disappointing.

Its more about reputation. If ur game launches bad, it will always be known as a bad game to most.

No man’s sky launched in a bad state, now it’s a really good game, but it’s still got that mark on it.

It wouldn’t be control over Larian. They constantly express that they are self published and self owned, it’s something they’re proud of.

That said, money talks.

Its cool that you have all that, but not everyone can. Console quality on a phone implies a nicer experience for those who only have a phone.

When I start choosing to play that instead of a multiplayer game with mates. And also when I start recommending it to people. It’s all kinda involuntary at this point.
