So… is Bay over Bae canon now?

Lame.

swayevenly,

What was the percentage of people who chose to save Arcadia Bay vs the other choice? I can’t remember.

Will it be like Cata Classic launch. Probably.

Ignore months of confirmed in game and in forum bug reports/posts from beta and PTR and still launch with all said issues ✅

They pay their testers $16/hr in 2020 money.

hemko,

Will be like every launch, ever

Releasing June 8

looks at calendar

Wait…

mosiacmango,

They announced it at summer game fest a couple of days ago, then announced it would be released in 24 hrs.

Bit of a double whammy, but a well received one.

restingboredface, to pcgaming in Devolver Direct 2024: Everything Announced - IGN

Excited to see more updates coming to Cult of the Lamb. I enjoyed the hell out of the main campaign and recent update.

Tried the Anger Foot demo a while back and it was okay. I may grab the full version depending on price. The aethetic is fun and interesting and the kicking mechanic is pretty satisfying.

Stamau123, to pcgaming in LA Billboard Shouts Out 'Gone But Not Forgotten' Game Studios Ahead of Major Showcases - IGN

Made by New Blood, those seem like some stand up guys

Can’t wait for them to be corporate cogheads in 30 years if history repeats. Or I’m too cynical

MossyFeathers,

I’m pretty sure Dave Oshry would find a way to somehow fuck over whatever company tries to acquire New Blood, like employee contracts that give each employee a $5m bonus if the company gets acquired, required to be paid by the acquiring company. He just seems like the kinda guy who’d do that.

Poop,

I checked out their stuff on steam and I’ll probably pick up some of their games. Thanks for the info that they aren’t scummy.

MossyFeathers,

Dave Oshry is outspokenly pro-union.

Zo0,

I should pay more attention to names and stuff. I have played and enjoyed half their catalogue and didn’t even know it was made by the same devs haha

csolisr,

@Stamau123 @alessandro If that happens, it won't be out of their free will, but out of economic necessity. The cycle is well mapped already. Company starts losing steam, needs to get sold to a venture capitalist, the new owner ends up draining the last few bits of dignity the company used to have.

Volition! Noooooo!

asymmetric, to pcgaming in The Last of Us 2 Reportedly Set for PC

I bet it will come with a free copy of Denuvo. Will be an incredible deal: 2 softwares for the price of 1 software. Can’t beat that.

DarkThoughts,

I don't think Sony released a single PC port with Denuvo yet, so why do you think that's likely to happen in this case?

asymmetric,

Because it was a joke, Mr Pedantic Person.

DarkThoughts,

What's the punch line..?

ILikeBoobies,

2 softwares for the price of 1 software. Can’t beat that.

SlothMama,

Won’t buy it if it requires PSN account

blunderworld, to pcgaming in The Last of Us 2 Reportedly Set for PC

Holy shit Sony, just make a new game for once.

Zahille7,

True, but I also think it’s (double-edged sword) kind of a good thing that they’re finally bringing their exclusive titles to PC. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to play Spider-Man or God of War.

Shadowedcross,

Not sure how that relates to games being ported to PC.

blunderworld,

I feel like it’s pretty straightforward. Sony releases far more ports and remakes than newly developed original games.

snugglesthefalse,

It would be nice if they could just release things on pc in the first place then we wouldn’t have to mess around with all these extra releases

Shadowedcross,

They delay the PC release in hopes that you’ll buy a PS5 to play the sequel. I doubt it’s a very effective strategy, though.

Zahille7,

NGL they almost had me with Spider-Man 2.

But I watched a playthrough on YouTube cause I couldn’t wait. Still gonna (maybe, with all this PSN bullshit) play through it when it comes out on PC though.

Shadowedcross,

I mean, I don’t think they’re any slower to release new games than anyone else. I also don’t think the next Spider-Man or whatever is going to come out any slower because of ports either, since I think a different studio handles most of the porting work, I don’t know about remasters, though. Like this year, they’re releasing 5 new games, and they usually release at least 3 a year. Could they release more? Maybe, but games take longer to make than ever before.

blunderworld,

Wasn’t really intended as a comparison with any other developer either. They’re just a relevant example pertaining to a larger industry issue.

There’s an easy solution… make everything before the 2000s public domain.

Suck it, Nintendo.

djsoren19, to games in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Is Officially Being Renamed, With Gameplay Reveal Set for June 11 - EXCLUSIVE - IGN

Damn, I can no longer jokingly call it Dragon Age: Spreadwolf. What could you replace Veil with? VagGuard? Doesn’t have the same kinda ring to it, too misogynistic.

djsoren19,

Perfect, 10/10 no notes.

Tripp1976, to pcgaming in The Last of Us 2 Reportedly Set for PC

Let’s see how bad they fuck up the port this time. Not holding my breath.

DarkThoughts,

Really hope they learned from the Part 1 disaster.

WereCat,

To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

Zoot,
@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

What was wrong with the 1st port? I ended up playing after finishing the TV series, and didn’t run into any bugs. I think I can recall having to restart maybe once cause a scene didn’t start. Beyond that, it was one of the first games I almost played twice just for NG+

ILikeBoobies,

On release it was poorly optimized

Even high end hardware had struggles, the worst part of 3d games is the cache though. That’s why some games put up a loading screen for it then load every asset behind that loading screen

A godot dev even recorded (inputs) a full playthrough of his then played it behind a loading screen at 10x speed

wait a year before playing it and it will probably be good

steeznson, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

This will be terrible but I’ll watch it. The story in the games is soap opera tier but somehow it works as part of the full package.

Welcome to FC Steam

Rayspekt, to games in Like a Dragon: Yakuza Live-Action Series Announced for Amazon Prime Video This Fall

This has infinite potential. Let’s hope they let the director cook and he knows what he’s doing. I’m totally down for live-action Yakuza weirdness.

On a side note: I hope it will feature a sad scene with the classical sob-story piano song.

An even sidier note: If we don’t get Bakamitai then gtfo.

I mean they also made Fallout…

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it’s because I’m not a Fallout fan, but I didn’t like that one either. I didn’t finish it, to be fair, but I watched the first 3-4 episodes and I found it nonsensical for the most part.

From people and animals healing within seconds of them injecting some sort of Jesus juice, to armor suits protecting against explosions and extreme fall damage but not angry bears, or people living for centuries in the surface but from the looks of it the apocalypse happened just two days earlier, with no one bothering to clean up their own house a bit. In one scene you see soldiers wearing thick metal armor flying around on helicopters, in the next scene there’s people using bottle caps as a barter resource.

And that’s just about the verisimilitude of the setting and the events. The writing felt very amateurish/childish for the most part. Again, I have no reference to the source material, but from an outside perspective, I wasn’t impressed.

The visuals are very good (not ground-breaking by any means, but they do their job well), but that’s the extent of the praise I’d give to that series.

Fallout’s success is on Jonathan Nolan, not Amazon.

Well then wheel of times failure is based on whoever wrote it too. Either way OPs comment doesn’t really make sense.

KuroiKaze,

As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I’m a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’m still playing infinite wealth but once I’m done I’ll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I’m going to go back to.
