  • 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames

    Jump

  • Im sympathizing with both sides of the conversation. Grand strategy games are so complex and can be supported for 10+ years so it makes sense that they regularly make DLCs to support development.

    But they're not totally optional/unnecessary. The problem is that many games are balanced around the new DLCs that sometimes you're at a disadvantage if you dont buy them. I remember some drama around crusader kings where some mechanics don't make sense unless you buy some DLCs

  • Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywall

    Jump

  • Things like compiling shaders, etc, shouldn’t be an issue on the new Xbox, for example.

    From what I remember that's exactly what MS is doing as well, xbox would let you download pre-compiled shaders for the ROG handheld. Though I don't think you upload any of your own shaders since the xbox hardware is unified as opposed to steam having to support everybody on Linux

  • From former Telltale Games veterans, Dispatch is out and Steam Deck Verified

    Jump

  • I played it last night and it honestly feels like a TV show more than a video game

    that's the point, it's an interactive story similar to telltale's games

  • Hades II - Post-Launch Patch 1 Preview & Notes

    Jump
    1. the idea to spare chronos comes from melinoe. in the normal ending, zagreus spares him and melinoe gets very upset while zagreus tells her to get over it.
    2. Melinoe keeps her memories of the alternate universe where she grew up with her family. in the normal ending she was robbed from any sort of happy ending while everyone around her (including chronos) remembers her living happily in the house of hades. we also get a new cutscene showing her grow up with her brother.
    3. there's more dialogue in general to flesh out the ending and her relationship with her family.

  • Dispatch | Official Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • Mildly disappointed that they are releasing episodically.

    at least theyre releasing it every week as opposed to Telltale's old games where we had to wait months for the game to finish. I don't mind it too much

  • Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years

    Jump

  • Between alan wake 2 barely breaking even and fbc firebreak flopping hard, I can see why they would change the CEO. hopefully this doesn't compromise the actual games in the future to try and get more money

  • Necesse Version 1.0 | Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • I've been playing it and its reminding me of terraria as soon as it released. lots of fun but lacking in content and balance, similar to pre hard mode terraria.

  • Just like how cars are measured in horsepower because that's what gas is made out of

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • I still use reddit for a few niche communities and browsing comments. I post alot and love my time here but the activity isnt enough to replace it for me yet

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread

    Jump

  • Well, it's as we feared. the story seems to be not bad but every review calls the gameplay boring and uninspired.

  • Keeping the PlayStation 2 Alive: an interview with devs from the PCSX2 emulator (my article!)

    Jump

  • Great article, thank you for sharing

    What are your individual development backgrounds and day jobs (if any)

    I’m currently a PhD candidate at the french atomic energy comission (CEA).

    this is literally the last response I would expect. I assumed all emulator developers had boring software engineering jobs

  • Games with Text-based Interaction?

    Jump

  • Stories Untold is excellent, its a horror game that's mostly text based.

  • No, Target and Walmart are not removing Xbox products from their stores — as Xbox misinformation reaches new levels

    Why isn't Lemmy doing anything about issues where the propagandists/spammers can be seen spreading staged or AI-generated propaganda, such as "This is Gaza, Unfiltered"?
