GolGolarion, to gaming in Baldur’s Gate 3 Is One Of 2023's Best Games, Don't Turn It Into A Weapon

What do you mean “dont turn it into a weapon,” i have a dedicated spot on my action wheel specifically for turning things into weapons. My barbarian buddy can do it as a bonus action

cdipierr,

Pro-tip: if a low-health enemy is close to escaping to call for help you can just throw Baldur’s Gate 3 at them for that last bit of damage!

If fewer players would buy the shitty games, and stop buying the battle passes and mtx, they would stop selling them. It’s all about profit.

What do you think would have happened if Overwatch 2 launched and had a consistent player count of zero?

But it seems that a lot of people don’t care as much as I want them to, and a lot of people have less self control than a toddler. Little will change.

terny,

Those games make money on whale players. People who spend thousands of dollars.

BlahajEnjoyer,

But if whales have no one to play with those whales end up leaving too.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, BlahajEnjoyer, but for anyone else reading this, this is why it's important to also not play these sorts of games in addition to not spending money on them, if stopping any of this is important to you.

Sweet, sweet short term profits tho

Enough people have left Overwatch 2 that they've resorted to putting it on Steam. Perhaps it's not happening on the timeline we would like, but people do seem to be tiring of live service nonsense.

That decision is working out so well for them, too! It’s setting records!

It hasn't stopped the game from being in the top 25 most played on Steam though. And I'll bet that number is disappointing to Blizzard too, but I'm going to guess a large number of those people leaving negative reviews are still playing the game, which doesn't help.

AnarchoYeasty,

The vast majority of them probably never played the game in the first place.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Eh, I don't know about that. It's free to play and huge in popular culture because tons of people played it.

It's huge in popular culture because of the source filmmaker porn. Certainly not the game itself.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

That's an absurd take.

Actually, you're right. I take that back. I let my personal dislike for the game override my thought processes. There are plenty of people who like the game, as odd as I find that fact.

Xenxs,

Exactly what you said. Most devs know they’re not putting out high quality games but the money flows in and that’s what they’re told to design.

Oh nooo! Anyway, make the best game you can.

AAA studios, you can stop crying, you’re like a master car mechanic crying because you can’t bolt down a single goddamn nut with pre-existing tooling.

Sony should kee this series going. And Nintendo needs to do something with F-Zero.

WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation

It was so exclusive that was ported to DOS, Windows and the Sega Saturn

MrSpArkle,

N64 too.

@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

Well, that's the third entry (wipeout 64) the first game was not ported to the N64

All the Wipeout games, even the PSP ones, were excellent!

spriteblood, to gaming in Red Dead Redemption's PS4 And Switch Ports Don't Seem Worth The $50 Price Tag

I just got the 360 version on Xbox Series for like $10

Seemed like a pretty good deal

WarmSoda, to gaming in Red Dead Redemption's PS4 And Switch Ports Don't Seem Worth The $50 Price Tag

Oh Kotaku. What kind of questions are those. If one dlc is the only thing included then no, nothing from the other dlc will be included. Why would you expect any change in graphics, it’s a port. And it’s a port that has to work on the Switch.

Definitely agree about the price though. I probably would buy it for $30. Fifty is way too much.
