Playing the world’s smallest violin in lieu of the admin listing of my least favorite lemmy instance. I probably didn’t have anything to do with it, but lying smearing dipshits have a way of garnering hostility towards themselves. Party time!

  • Todd Howard says Bethesda won't be remaking the first Fallouts because 'some of the charm of games from that era is a little bit of that age'

    Jump

  • I imagine there are a few mod remakes of them already in the works.

  • Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

    Jump

  • The Creation Store is definitely way too predatory. The Tracking Alliance faction definitely seems tailored for future "elite bounties", and so far does not seem to have any singular faction questline with a conclusion. The quality is better than I expected and I suspect they will continue expanding it through the free patches as they also release new bounties Creations to go with it. If you don't purchase them, you are left with the empty space on the board reminding you of it, and paying for plushies? Decorations? Greed upon greed, but no different from what they did with Skyrim.

    If Bethesda had any brains they would force developers to only post those as free and only as hooks and essentially free promotion for the content rich expansions they could be involved with, but instead they've been trying to push for MMOesque purchases for their singleplayer games for a while now, additions which I wouldn't even want because of how grossly they intrude upon the game universe. Sudden overpowered suit or base for no reason ahoy! The Anniversary Edition spoiled the Skyrim experience so much ...

    Starfield was on its lasts legs and needed something that would revive it, not greed, but then again this sort of shit is why Bethsoft isn't one of the studios Microsoft has shut down. Makes you wonder just how much whales spend on this practice. Judging by the Sims and looking through posts regarding Skyrim, quite a lot, so move over traditional market and let the whales pass. Shame there's so little competition, I love this particular niche of a genre.

    I am not going to look forward to TES6, although I doubt the MMO will curtail its development much. After all, they are already turning singleplayer into MMOs without the service cost.

  • “if you can obtain a copy of a court order...we’ll do our best to make it happen" Unlike Steam, Good Old Games claims they are willing to transfer accounts to entitled parties after a user's death

    Jump

  • I think they may have meant a probate court. Steam can ignore or argue against a probate court on several grounds and might have to be taken to a judicial court, GOG may be claiming they would accept the judgement of a probate court. Definitely needs to be expanded upon and clarified.

  • “if you can obtain a copy of a court order...we’ll do our best to make it happen" Unlike Steam, Good Old Games claims they are willing to transfer accounts to entitled parties after a user's death

    Jump

  • That's either awesome or diplomatic. But a court order shouldn't be needed, that implies going to court which isn't necessary in some countries.

  • Borderlands 4 is Reportedly 2K’s Big Summer Game Fest Reveal

    Jump

  • Really not looking forward to it, even though I've played every other game including Tiny Tina's. They really dropped the ball with the Wonderlands DLC, they undid any and all trust I had in their post-release expansions, so they are really going to have to be announcing some ground-breaking new features if they want me to pay on release. Otherwise, I guess I'll be playing it in 2028 when it's discounted, if the state of the world allows it.

    I can look past not having iconic villains, as much DLC, or having new releases that are just minor upgrades, but the drop in the expectations for post-release quality, I guess that's where I draw the line, no pre-orders from me.

  • Valve confirms your Steam account cannot be transferred to anyone after you die

    Jump

  • I just assume at this point that it is a problem with any publisher.

  • Finally, 3.5 Years After Launch, No One Is Working on Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt

    Jump

  • Haven't you run into bugs with the newly added car chases going CTD? I eventually realized it was due to using my choice of non-lethal quickhacks messing up the scripts, why didn't CD Projekt RED? Player experience can vary based on playstyle.

  • Finally, 3.5 Years After Launch, No One Is Working on Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt

    Jump

  • Sort of hate that they never worked in New Game Plus into the game. Their excuses don't jibe when there are ways to do it manually, but they are a hassle.

  • Valve confirms your Steam account cannot be transferred to anyone after you die

    Jump

  • Another way to influence companies is with your money, and GOG allows you to download entire DRM-less backups of your game.

  • Gamers Are Becoming Less Interested in Games With Deep Strategy, Study Finds

    Jump

  • I think the problem is that games with deep strategy are timeless, no real need for a new release.

  • The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO

    Jump

  • Really shortsighted view of it. Just because you make a new RTS that is more generally appealing is not going to change the existence of those that preceded it or their fanbase.

  • I Want Better Games With Worse Graphics And I'm Not Kidding - Aftermath

    Jump

  • The problem with that is the back catalogue of games that developers have to compete with. There already are better games with worse graphics, the big studios aren't going to risk competing in that crowded market that already has its crowned victors.

  • Helldivers 2 PSN Account Insanity... Did we REALLY Win?

    Jump

  • Profit incentive wins the day again! Although there are times even it doesn't seem to.

  • Arrowhead CEO on negative reviews: "I guess it's warranted. Sorry everyone for how this all transpired. I hope we will make it up and regain the trust by providing a continued great game experience."

    Jump

  • Helldivers will never be what it was from now on, shame I missed that train. Specially considering it's now essentially a free Steam refund (if you insist past the automated responses).

  • Game devs praise Steam as a 'democratic platform' that 'continues to be transformative' for PC gaming today

    Jump

  • Valve tried to Android their gaming platform under SteamOS, yes. They really didn't do it for Linux. Rather, they know Linux distros can't really complete with their specialized house advantage for gaming, in the general consumer sense.

  • Ex-Lionhead developers announce new game, shelve new game, and confirm layoffs all at the same time

    Jump

  • They used an actual photo from their offices as the thumbnail.

  • Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'

    Jump

  • Imagine if Bethesda actually really listened to and catered to their modding community instead of just trying to monetize them. They would be legend right now.

  • Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'

    Jump

  • Have they never had to deal with a Bethesda patch before!?

  • Game devs praise Steam as a 'democratic platform' that 'continues to be transformative' for PC gaming today

    Jump

  • It'd be impossible to create a competitor in this day in age, because what made Steam win out is that it was the first and that it hasn't acted like a greedy dick trying (too much) to monetize their platform dominance. Arguably, GOG is a better platform because it is much more against DRM, but when you get right down to it, gamers don't really care enough about those issues to put a dent in it even if the loudest voices do, so I doubt Steam's success has much to do with being a 'democratic platform'.
