  • Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?

    Jump

  • Sorry to hear that! KNThost went bust? They weren't making ends meet?

  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman becomes a billionaire after a highly profitable quarter

    Jump

  • I don't think people at that level have friends, more like business aquintences. And all they do is work; feed their net worth value must increase addiction.

  • Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, why is it so hyped?

    Jump

  • It's a great game but definitely flawed in places. I will agree that the world building really carries the game. By modern standards the open world is rather small (and some parts look like they simply didn't have time to develop - the hotel in downtown), but it works really well.

    I will pick a less commonly chosen favourite; you get to meet the creator of the zombie movie genre and help him out.

    And I love the Hollywood map music track (and this just excellent track among many).

    VTMB2 sounds like an action game that's lacking in RPG elements, so it's not for me.

    I might get it at as some point if the game + all DLC are available for under $10. If not, no problem, there are more than enough games to keep me occupied.

  • New World will stop receiving updates following Amazon layoffs

    Jump

  • I think this is due to the broader "move towards AI", gaming was big around COVID, now it's in a massive decline, at least in terms of employment and investment opportunities, if not actual revenues.

  • US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

    Jump

  • Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect to anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).

    Crime isn't only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature considerations) is also criminal activity.

    They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

  • Unfortunately, we are not really at the size yet where we can have good content/discussions about countries with lower news coverage.

  • Cool art, but yeah this is spam.

  • Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?

    Jump

  • !crpg@lemmy.world got a nice boost after I used the community promo function. Hopefully this will drive engagement.

    !strategy_games@piefed.world is seeing solid growth dynamics, it's on its way to overtake the dormant strategy gaming comm with most subs.

    !turnbasedstrategy@piefed.world has less engagement and subscribers (it's a more niche genre than generic strategy), but I think in 3-6 month it will overtake the dormant TBS comm by subscribers.

    Thinking of opening a cozy games community on piefed.world since I am the only contributor to !cozygames@lemmy.world.

  • 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy

    Jump

  • "Boomer shooter" refers to old school FPS/shooters in the sense of boomer = old? Never knew that.

    I always thought it was because of the more fast paced styles of the older games and emphasis on explosive weapons.

    Most people who played Doom / Unreal / Hexen when the games were released were early millenials or tail end "Gen X". From memory, FPS games weren't really that popular among people in their 30s and early 40s in the 90s. It was all young kids, teenagers and (I am assuming) university students.

  • Day 465 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • Have yet to play the remake. Played the original on PC in 99 or so. It was a very novel experience at that time (I had mostly played cRPGs, RTSs, city-builder/tycoons etc.). A lot of the puzzles were challenging for young brain though.

  • An arguement can be made that gacha disqualifies it from being an RPG.

    Not saying one must agree or disagree, just outlining the logical thinking on this.

    Jump

  • To be honest, I've never heard CRPGs refer to anything other than computer RPGs. Usually gatcha games are referred to as such even by players who play them.

    But I've made some edits for clarity. Cheers!

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 review

    Jump

  • I might get it in a few years if it is available for under $10 (with all DLC).

    But the lack of RPG mechanics, limited gameplay area, trash tier side-quests and near exclusive focus on action/brawling are major dealbreakers for me.

  • Day 458 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • I think it should be less than $30 in my region (we get very good discounts).

    I will just wait for a nice discount.

    Jump

  • Never heard about a zombie version of RDR.

    Checked out the Wikipedia page and they even have a PC version.

    Went to steam and found out that the game costs $50! That's really too bad, but I will be on the lookout if it gets discounted.

  • New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member

    Jump

  • This is an adventure sim video game.

  • King of Dragon Pass, making you feel like a bronze age tribe chieftain

    Jump

  • This is a very unique game both in terms of setting (and how it relates to gameplay as highlighted in OP) and overall fusion of genres.

    One issue with KoDP is that it can become a bit min/max focused. The gameplay isn't as organic and open ended as I would like.
