dom,

Guess they ran their brand too far into the ground. Now they gotta dig up another

dom,

Yeah i know. I meant more in terms of peope who don’t know the way these two are connected.

Atari has had some very sketchy business practices and screwed over consumers a bunch of times. Most people don’t know they are effectively the same company as infogrames

dom,

I’ve been playing a ton of game dev story. To the point where now I want to try my hand at making my own simulation type game in that style

dom,

Buying real estate.

dom,

Many people are not informed for how this stuff works. They see an open world racing game they can play with friends and don’t understand what’s needed to make that happen.

dom,

Yeah, I was gonna say I have 7 accounts. A lot of free ones labeled “vacation” “house projects” “emergencies”

dom,

Get a copy of it now. There may not be more development on it, but you’ll be able to keep playing the games that work already on it

dom,

Aren’t there games where the physical disc doesn’t have the entire game on it or won’t even run without a patch? Wouldn’t that effectively be the same thing if they decide to stop providing the patch?

dom,

I play my steam deck WAYYYYYY more than my ps5. And quite a bit more than my switch.

dom,

It would he nice if they added native controller support

dom,

The ilitjid must protect you from food poisoning

dom,

Indie style game?

As inaccurate as it is to talk abojt publisher size, it is helpful to give ideas to aesthetics and budget. I find myself more interested in smaller games like this, so I pay special attention when the term “indie” is used, even if it’s from a big publisher (child of light is another good example)

dom,

Bolt ev just got a price drop to 20k. It’s not a nice looking car, but would fit 99% of most peoples driving

dom,

Yeah, but I just mean in terms of a low cost option.

Most people don’t need a big car for their around town driving. I have a kona ev and it’s not much bigger.

Having said that, travelling as a family of 3+dog was tricky in the kona so we just upgraded my wife’s ICE to an ioniq 5

I got to play Terra Nil, and here is my two cents on it (lemmy.world)

This year I was recommended Terra Nil, a “reverse city builder” as the developer Free Lives call it in the store page. From screenshots and what gameplay I did see of it, my mind raced to games like SimCity 3000 and the potential of destroying a run down, or decaying city and returning it to nature....

dom,

On Android?

dom,

Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name

Players who don't like survival games as a genre: Which survival games are your personal exceptions, which ones have you enjoyed nonetheless and why?

Personally, I really don’t like most of these games due to the tedium and frustration that comes with hunger/thirst mechanics. Most of the exceptions that I do actually like either make up for it through something else that elevates the experience enough - or they either don’t have these mechanics or allow for players to...

dom,

I dont like many survival games, but i enjoyed my time with dont starve and subnautica

dom,

The whole point is that a bunch of people don’t have the technical skills to figure out FOSS. Sure, sometimes the ux is just as good as the main competitor, but in my experience, usually it isnt and has a decent learning curve

dom,

I think he’s talking in general. But who knows.

dom,

He’s one dude.

dom,

There are fewer and fewer options every day that aren’t by big brands.

dom,

Hundred percent agreed

dom,

There was also a ton of content added in relatively recent official updates

dom,

And some people were annoyed it didn’t win game of the year…

dom,

Ctr has a good campaign mode. So does sonic racing transformed

dom,

Yeah, I was hoping more of a spiritual successor rather than a copy

dom,

Or modern indies

dom,

This is alll I ever wanted from steam deck. Time to put my money where my mouth is

dom,

With all those people, it sounds like an ultimate showdown about to happen.

I hope Charle Norris stays safe

dom,

Sounds like it depends on your pcs specs how it is

Well, Cities: Skylines 2 is here, and it's another broken game release.

I don’t really understand how people make the review threads, but we’re sitting at a 77 on OpenCritic right now. Many were worried about game performance after the recommended specs were released, but it looks like it’s even worse than we expected. It sounds like the game is mostly a solid release except for the...

dom,

The specs until recently were not as intensive but still pointed to the game not being super optimized.

Minimum was a 780 (3gv)

I expected that buying a 6650 (8gb) would have put me well over the minimum requirements.

MINIMUM:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows® 10 Home 64 Bit

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K / AMD® Ryzen™ 5 1600X

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 780 (3GB) or AMD® Radeon™ RX 470 (4GB)

RECOMMENDED:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows® 10 Home 64 Bit | Windows® 11

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-9700K | AMD® Ryzen™ 5 5600X

Memory: 16 GB RAM

Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ RTX 2080 Ti (11GB) | AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800 XT (16GB)

dom,

Here’s your reminder that atari is a garbage company that does anti consumer shit and don’t support their stuff.

Even if this game looked great, I would avoid it.

Luckily their typical quality makes them easy to avoid for me.

dom,

Most people who are interested in this game don’t know what engine it’s made on, let alone the performance issues inherent to that engine.

dom,

Thank you for posting this. I would have bought it to play on my steam deck

dom,

They won’t

dom,

I guess I should learn how to use rails now

dom,

I dont want faster, I just want a bezeless oled in the same body.

dom,

Ok so if they are now only charging for the first install, why aren’t they just charging an extra fee per sale? Wouldn’t that accomplish effectively the same thing? (And actually work out in unity favour since not everyone who buys a game downloads it)

Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S (www.notebookcheck.net)

A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

dom,

There is a point where more ram doesnt help and maybe that’s what you are thinking of. It’s more “must be this tall to ride” from my understanding

dom,

I bitch about start screens, and proudly.

Well, jsut the garbage start screens that have 80 tiles for you to click on and half are for something you have to pay extra for, or ads for their other games, or their dumb meta coin progression system

Start screens that are just options on a static image? Yes fucking please.

dom,

I save scum in this play through, but I dont intend to on the next one. Part of the magic is that the game adapts to your bad dice rolls. Just because you succeeded a roll doesn’t mean it’s the “good” option. It’s just a different one.

And the eye horror stuff is really only in the intro (although I’m only 20 hours in so it may come up later)

What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...

dom,

You’ve also missed all the hype about the lack of microtransactions. That one is pretty big.

And the bear sex. Although you’d think a sub bullet of point 2, I think its less horniness and more absurdity and “you can do anything”.

It’s the modern equivalent of “see that mountain? You can go there.”

“See that bear? You can fuck it”

dom,

It’s bear sex without passing Peta off

dom,

I shudder to think what they’ll do for recordest profits

dom,

Fuck.

I guess its time to start a new factory. I should probably let my wife and kids know

Yet another reason to ditch Musk's Twitter: You can play a crowdsourced Dungeons & Dragons campaign over on Mastodon (www.pcgamer.com)

Through the magic of democracy (Mastodon’s poll function), an account called Dungeons over on the federated Twitter-alternative platform is letting its audience choose their own adventure in an ongoing D&D campaign.

dom,

Although it is reallt cool, I wouldn’t go so far as calling it a campaign. It looks like you just fight monster after monster and that’s it

dom,

Eh, even then im sure there was “go to this room” or “buy this from the merchant”

It wasn’t just

“Figjt monster”

“OK he’s dead, new monster”

“Fight monster”

dom,

I now want to make like a legit action text adventure for mastodon that has things like coheiege dungeon, a story etc
