Fuck me, I really want to play Dino Crisis once again.

Good! It is a fantastic game after all. But you know how those numbers would have been way bigger? It has something to do with your stupid ass store ❤️

Thousands of hours, months of hard work. For about 300 bucks and a bunch of incels doxxing and harassing her.

I cannot fathom why she left.

Signing that one.

Empowerment and ownership are the new pride and accomplishment.

Loved the first game. This however? A Ubisoft game that is being developed for about 15 years. What could go wrong?

I can’t take it anymore. I want to play it now. Today a friend and I both chat about what’s new, speculate and make comparisons to Space Exploration. We actually still are doing that.

GF and I are about to go eat some sushi in a fancy restaurant and the only thing I can think about is blasting my cargo into space one more time. We already got the confirmation that Space Age won’t be as complex and challenging as Space Exploration, but I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff the modders will come up with!

Didn’t know Steam was still operating in Russia. Kinda makes sense it being the third biggest user base.

Still gonna count it as another reason not to use Steam anymore tho.

Not if you made “being upset” your character trait. There are too many kids (and adults with the mental capability of kids) who fall for this crap over and over again. It wouldn’t be that frustrating when they got upset about stuff that’s actually real.

You can unlock the colour scheme of other chapters. From what I can tell it looks kinda grindy tho.

Ok. Interesting take. Let’s look at Alan Wake 2. High Budget and pretty good. One of the best games I played in recent years I would say.

And why did it sell poorly, I hear you ask? Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you published it on your Epic Store only, being fully aware that the overwhelming majority of PC players are on Steam (and very lazy when it comes to switching away from it). Also you didn’t produce physical copies for consoles. Download only for an environment known for being fiercely pro physical copy.

But we all know it’s not about these things. It’s about calming down investors. That’s why you use buzzwords like “metaverse” and shit. I am actually impressed you didn’t ramble about AI.

The publisher is also launching an internal review “in light of recent challenges” to identify ways the company can improve how it releases games, engages with its players, and benefits its stakeholders and shareholders.

We all know you will exclusively go for the last part and start shouting oh no what happun?!

I wonder what the next main enemy of the first half will be. We had the green skins and the ‘Nids. Maybe we will get chaos first. With Word Bearers leading hordes of crazed cultists into battle. Then the midgame switch happens and we fight the more elite Drukhari or some Necron dynasty.

As long as I can fire a bolt into Leandros‘ face I’m happy.

Don’t know if it counts: Factorio on deathworld. I thought it’s impossible until I saw dosh beating it and Mods even worse than that.

Commercial failure in this case translates to it didn’t make twice the money in the world. That’s why you never listen to investors as a consumer.

Didn’t play DAI tho. Loved the first one. Dreaded the second to the point I didn’t trust the franchise when DAI released.

The brute forcing of AI into anything goes into the next stage.

Good thing I don’t care that much about graphics since I’ve been a teenager.

And some of the studios are doing great! Releasing fantastic games and being shut down shortly after.

I am glad we can agree that the Chinese government is trying to weave a false narrative that all of that has been instigated by mysterious western powers working in the shadows and as long as people stick to that they will be perfectly fine.

Don’t care about what the yankees have done tho. Don’t know what’s that about all of a sudden.

echoing a bit of recycled propaganda from the 1990s.

Excuse me, I can’t follow. What do you mean by propaganda?

?

Not yet?

Friendly reminder that Ubisoft has a workplace environment somehow worse than Blizzard and their CEO protected his bros who sexually harassed coworkers. There is absolutely nothing of value lost when that company goes belly up.

No. No agreeing. Only bitching.

I read something along of 200 million? And 8 years of development? Not even sold 25.000 times?

Over the years I have learned to pay attention to certain keywords that made me be extra careful about games advertised. So when I heard of AAAA, I immediately knew that CEO was on ketamine and the game will start as a dumpster fire.

See you again in six months. Maybe it will be in an acceptable state by then.

Iron Lung. Everyone is gone. Every star, every planet and every moon. The only people left are those who were on spaceships and stations. With one exception: A moon is found, glowing in the light of a star that doesn’t exist and filled with an ocean of blood. Desperate for answers, the new makeshift government sends prisoners in submarines deep into this ocean with a simple task: make it to a hand full of coordinates, take the pictures and make it out alive. Did I mention it’s an ocean of human blood?

This game fucked me up that one night I played it alone. And no, it won’t take you longer. The dev literally says so in the description. About an hour. But it’s cheap and takes you on a crazy ride. By David Szymanski, the mad genius behind Dusk.

Yes, I am only on Lemmy. I do not engage with other communities around the internet nor do I talk to anyone from the outernet. Especially not my friends who also like to play games.

Jfc, game literally came out today and the fanboys are already insufferable.

I never really thought devs misunderstood that. They aren’t the problem. Do the same survey with the publishers.

Just checked. It is. Fuck that CCP shit.

Crazy. Never heard of it.

Don’t know if this counts, but Resident Evil 4 killed off the tank controls and single-handedly popularised third person cameras for survival horror games.

The only times I went to PvP I only did so to complete some quest, and I only did so with lots of comfort food available. It was a horror show every time. As a pure PvE player, I got pissed off too many times when Bungie nerfed my stuff because people in PvP got upset about something AGAIN.

I don’t like it when people call developers lazy. It’s bullshit 99% of times. So I think the problem was with the players themselves. We (including myself) showed the higher ups at Bungie, that we would still buy the next season, the next expansion no matter what.

Your other points are also true. It reminds me when D1 was at its best in the year before D2 was released. All quest available, all weapons and exotics obtainable. All raids returned in an updated manner with their weapons, gear and even some shiny shit you could put on your stuff to sparkle more.

I left Destiny 2 roughly 2 years ago and I don’t miss it. Fuck that clusterfuck of an addiction made video game. It’s not even the good kind of addictive like Factorio. It just pisses you off and you still keep playing.

Absolutely. Looks like a project that didn’t get the rights.

Fine! I’m signing it!

Germany at 75.47%. We’re a bunch of slackers aren’t we?

When a gaming headline starts with “Here we go again” it’s either Half Life 3 or another military leak in the War Thunder forums.

What the fuck? How did I never heard of this let alone his name?!

Yeah I’m off Destiny 2 for about two years now. Felt like detoxing from a drug ffs. But one of my favourite memes was the community accusing Bungie of stuff, Bungie denying said stuff, then Bungie admitting doing the stuff.

Good times. Don’t miss them at all.

Buy game that is wildly known to be too difficult for some. Made by studio known for making games too difficult for some.

Throws a fit and sues studio.

Yeah, that sounds like a skill issue.

Edit: It gets worse.

The player references not only Elden Ring but also Bloodborne in this regard. He says that game director Hidetaka Miyazaki cut a large chunk of Bloodborne out of the game. This was revealed in an interview where Miyazaki discussed players transforming into a beast. The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.

This person is just plain mentally challenged. And I don’t mean that as an insult. Shit, that’s actually sad.

These tweets read horrible. What a punch in the gut. And somehow it gets worse when Bungie lays off an employee days before maternity leave.

Bungie, a studio which has been under fire for years by fans for lacklustre seasons in Destiny 2 - the only game they were working on, fired 250 people after firing 100 last October, now happily announces they are working on Marathon, more Destiny 2 stuff AND a mysterious third game so Sony can finally get that sweet, sweet live service game.

I don’t see a problem here.

never felt the need to go back

I see what you did there.
