RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) to games in Hermen Hulst, addresses day 1 PC releases. Live service games will on the same day on PS5 and PC, but single player narrative games on PC are designed to then entice PC owners to play sequels on a PS5

Sony actively shooting themselves in the foot at every opportunity handed to them.

What is happening with companies? Why are they all racing to the bottom? And why is Nintendo leading that race by a long shot?

I think this has been there policy since the start. Why do you consider it shooing themselves in the foot?

SomeGuy69, to games in Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players

They didn’t react because of Helldivers 2, it’s because of their upcoming PlayStation to PC ports, who will feature enforced PSN linkage and they now noticed, “oh fuck, so many people won’t like it and this will cost us sales”, right now only Helldivers player were angry and boycotting, soon it will be every possible Steam customer, who has to decided pro or against getting a mandatory PSN account, for stuff like Ghost of Tsushima and more.

I don’t see how anyone could be for it. What good does it make to be connected to a psn account? I had to make one the other day because my friend wanted to send me funny stuff he did on ps5 and couldn’t share it outside of the psn. They want more people to make accounts i guess. Even if you don’t own any ps devices.

sugar_in_your_tea,

It’s even more worthless than making an EA or Ubisoft account…

  • Plug lightning cable of faux-wired headphones into a charger brick.
  • Turn on Bluetooth and connect the faux wired headphones via BT while it not being connected to the phone via cable.

TAKE THAT, SMARTASS REMOTE CHILEANS VILLAGERS!!!

CoolMatt,

I would love to see the looks on their poor faces when they witness this.

I can tell you what they will look like. They’ll be as convinced as in OPs article that they are still right and say “see, I told you!”

CoolMatt,

Or next thing ya know, it turns out the brick has bluetooth too and is required to connect to the phone in order to charge it during normal use, so OP’d have to pair it with the phone as well in order to power the headphones, further reinforcing the locals.

It’s Bluetooth all the way down.

Fubarberry, to games in All ROG ALLY devices will now have the 2-year warranty.
@Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz avatar

That’s only a useful change if their warranty support was actually helpful to begin with. Now you get two years of them trying to bait people into unnecessary out-of-warranty repairs.

NJSpradlin, to games in Tom Henderson: Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. I don't have the exact numbers yet, but no one in the know is disappointed with them.

    Hard agree, Ubisoft is trash and has been since they buried Rayman under rabbid shit

    Blizzard, (edited )

    They also killed off Might and Magic: Duel of Champions right when the hype for card games started… That game was awesome.

    Blizzard,

    To be fair, Hello Games did reclaim their honour some time ago already. NMS is amazing and they keep releasing new, meaningful updates for free. Their community loves them.

    gaylord_fartmaster,

    Still a great example on why not to preorder, the game needed years of more work to be in an acceptable state. Why waste your time and money when you could just hold off until the game is actually finished, or at least until you can confirm it’s actually worth the investment based on its quality to you.

    Yeah idk why people would pay for a digital product before its release, it’s not like it will suddenly be unavailable after release, and they’ll have spent money on something they can’t own and enjoy yet

    Bullying works!

    *I realized this might come off as judgemental of the people protesting. I’m 100% behind the users here. Bully the rich 24/7.

    haui_lemmy,

    We should employ this more often. Studies show that school bullies are more success later in life. So we might wanna take a pro bullying stance for select groups. ;)

    SynopsisTantilize,

    Lol out of context this is so wrong. I for one hope my son becomes the primary school bully. It will look great on a resume.

    haui_lemmy,

    Hahaha context matters!

    I’m also going to take into consideration that Sony reversed course along with the fact that they tried this to begin with.

    Same with trying to shut down the PS3 and Vita stores and reversing that.

    hal_5700X, (edited ) to games in Dragon Age The Veilguard Gameplay Reveal Teaser

    Purple neon lighting is not a good sign. Don’t believe me. Here’s a list of games who had purple neon lighting in their advertising.

    • Forspoken
    • Saint’s Row reboot
    • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

    I’m not saying this game is going to be bad. It’s not a good sign. That’s all.

    MrScottyTay, to games in Steam: Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am

    They’re still never as good as they used to be. I don’t think the deals have been as good since they stopped doing the timed deals during sales.

    StitchIsABitch,

    I miss the flash sales too but it’s worth it considering it gave us refunds instead.

    forgotaboutlaye,

    I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I’m glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.

    MrScottyTay,

    Yeah I can understand the FOMO but i rarely ever get anything on sale during these big ones anymore because they’re never as substantial since the flash ones were always a significant discount

    Chronographs, to games in Night Springs, the first Alan Wake 2 expansion, is available now.

    God I wish this game wasn’t in epic jail

    notaviking,

    I really hope this will be a lesson to other developers that signing up for Epic money to be an Epic exclusive means you exclude a huge chunk of the PC market.

    SatansMaggotyCumFart, to games in Baldur's Gate 3: Coming to you this September, Patch 7 will introduce an official modding toolkit so you can bring your wildest ideas to life

    Can I add hardcore sex cut scenes?

    narc0tic_bird,

    Yes, but you can’t publish explicit mods on their official platform mod.io. You can use the tools they provide and publish your mods elsewhere though.

    SatansMaggotyCumFart,

    Well I guess the world will have to get ready for some bear/displacer tentacle sex scenes.

    BudgetBandit,

    I bet‘cha five bucks we‘ll get some tentacle action within the first 5 minutes of playtime

    SatansMaggotyCumFart,

    Oh I’m talking about the mod I will be making.

    I clicked because I thought it’d be a short ad. I’m not watching a 30 minute video of him attempting to debunk claims that he’s a conspiracy theorist. He is a conspiracy theorist.

    cyborganism,

    That’s too bad. I think it’s worth it.
