And piracy sites.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

That’s an actual nightmare

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I think what Ubisoft and Microsoft don’t get is that SOME users are okay with subscriptions, but that’s a small bit compared to people who don’t.

Just cater to the niche that do want it and quit thinking you can make the whole market a subscription service.

"Formerly known as GameShark, AI Shark is set to redefine the gaming landscape with its revolutionary AI-enhanced technology,”

Also the date has been “debunked” as “just a guess” by ai shark.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Weird how at the beginning of last year I had people call me a cultist for saying Godot would replace Unity in 2-5 years as the defacto indie engine.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

This actually isn’t the first time they’ve done something similar. I was already dissatisfied with their decisions, so I started dabbling in other engines. I left for good when they merged with Iron Source. I told everyone they’d eventually shift to trying to wring every last dollar they could (again not the first time they’re tried)

After ther merge with Iron Source they became an ad company who owns the IP to a game engine. They started making one bad decision after another, it was only a matter of time before they did something that pissed enough people off.

They shut down the game they were developing, they repeatedly over promised, then stopped developing a system half baked, then deprecated it and then over promised on its replacement. There are so many half baked systems in the engine, and then they started firing people and shutting down projects, while you can see the Unity logo on mobile game ads all over the place. That’s what they did improve, they worked on making it easier to use ads to monetize games. The CEO said anyone who doesn’t want to use ads to monetize were “fucking idiots”

The writing has been on the wall for a long while.

Who the fuck supports Hamas? It’s an actual terrorist organization that’s oppressing people in Palestine

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Steams 2 hour window is not a hard line. I’ve refunded games after spending hours trouble shooting

The two weeks thing I think is the hard limit, but 2 hours most definitely isn’t.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

What didn’t you like about it?

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Yeah I recently got Bannerlord and just feel it’s meh, definitely not feeling the hype

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I guess this is reddit and you don’t know how to read past the headlines?

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Yeah I was super refreshed when I moved here but it seems to have just absorbed all the bad habits I hated about reddit.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

…and you should read more than the headline, then you’d know that

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Leak is clickbait terminology

Just how game companies “leak” their upcoming games, but it was an official statement by a paid spokesperson

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Wait they remastered that game already? Didn’t it just fucking come out like a few years ago?

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

They said they would do that if Unity didn’t roll back their per install fee bullshit, which they did. So this comment makes you look fucking stupid.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Morrowind

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Corporations see others getting profit as competition, and it makes sense to consolidate profits so “Everyone wins” (everyone excluding the consumer)

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Then why are there screen mods? There was an OLED screen mod done six months ago

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

What? I’ve never heard of this? I have prime, where do I get my free shit?

Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes....

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I have uninstalled and refunded games with frustrating tutorials

At this point in life, if a game is too complex for me to understand by simply playing the game organically, I’m going to watch a YouTube video. Reading pop up menus is okay unless they physically lock you out of the game.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I very much disagree. Games like Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld absolutely benefit from both being left to your own devices AND having a repository of information to resort to.

Games with a steep learning curve shouldn’t necessarily lock you into a tutorial, just give me the option and let me fail a few times until I get the hang of things.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I don’t think cross play for competitive is worthwhile because either PC players have an advantage in the form of mouse aim, or console players have a wagon-dick-sized advantage in the form of aim assist. Competitive cross play only makes sense if you have input based match making.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Wait, you can’t buy regular drives anymore? That’s actually kind of fucked

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s last good game. Morrowind might be extremely dated, but at least it had character. Oblivion had character, but it marked the start of the over streamlining they wanted to do. Skyrim was so fucking bland. It was one step forward and six steps back.

I have heard how meh starfield is. I played the intro and it just shit out a bunch of generic sounding sci-fi buzz word soup. Meh

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

On that subject, I don’t know how much I’d value a “stand alone” vs just a wireless PCVR headset from valve. I’ve stayed away from the Index because of the need for base stations and the $1000 price point.

I bought a Quest 3 and while I actually really like the hardware, the stand alone games are just meh. Im spending way more time using it as a wireless PCVR headset for flat to vr mods than any dedicated Quest games.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

You could get a Pico and have it sent to the Chinese government instead. Much further away from home

As far as stand alone HMD’s go, unless they make an android or Linux based system with an unlocked bootloader, none of them are safe for privacy. I was hoping there would be custom ROMs that could be flashed but nope

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

A VAC ban is only for online games that use VAC, and even then I think they can still use community servers.

It doesn’t lock you out of your account or anything.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Note, there are some forks of OpenMW. One fore android, one adds multiplayer, one makes it VR.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I didn’t know Slay The Spire was made in LibGDX.

I used LibGDX years ago when developing my own engine on top of it for android gaming, but gave up after a year when it became evident I had to refactor more and more because I didn’t know what I was doing when I started.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

It was a jam game made in 3 weeks to see how the team likes Godot.

Sheesh

ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES - Ubisoft (www.ubisoft.com)

You may want to know that Ubisoft’s Rocksmith® 2014 Edition will be de-listed from Steam after October 23rd, 2023 which is one week from this post date. This is a game that makes learning to play the guitar like Guitar Hero/Rockband, which can score you or let you slowly practice a part with scrolling fret indicators....

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Does it also include the game itself? I wouldn’t mind not paying ubisoft

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I find it fun. Only a few hours into it so far, but it’s miles better than the original
