Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?

I understand why youre not interested and I also don’t care for it, but it’s disingenuous to say it isn’t one of the most hyped games of all time. The first trailer has 268 million views on youtube and that’s only on the official channel. People are excited.

as a ps3 exclusive that wasn’t even close in popularity but yes most of ds1 was copied from demon’s souls

The broom closet ending, specifically. The broom closet ending is my favorite

I doubt microsoft even knows what luanti is

from what I understand mod loaders will need to remove the part where they deobfuscate code then translate mods. this update will break modloaders for a while but in the end it should simplify the process and make modding easier.

what are you on about??? Bedrock isn’t ahead on anything except how many microtransactions it has. Java edition has been very well supported and regularly updated. In fact, the java ed is still considered the main one that gets features and snapshots first before being ported to bedrock. Nobody uses bedrock except console users.

lemmy users will see objectively good news and still try their hardest to be cynical and blame any corporation involved

it’s so weird to me that it sounds like they might shut down servers later. From what I heard, the new expansion was surprisingly well received. The past few days it peaked at greater than 40K concurrent players each day. surely the servers can pay for itself?

Japan’s attitude to e-sports is so bizarre. between this, Nintendo constantly shutting down fan tournaments, and other companies acting like e-sports don’t exist until it becomes big enough not to capitalize on…

How the fuck do they think it’s going to work if they keep gatekeeping the few people interested in esports?

they had many people working in video games? Last I heard they were 99% outsourced contractors maintaining games like new world

Im sympathizing with both sides of the conversation. Grand strategy games are so complex and can be supported for 10+ years so it makes sense that they regularly make DLCs to support development.

But they’re not totally optional/unnecessary. The problem is that many games are balanced around the new DLCs that sometimes you’re at a disadvantage if you dont buy them. I remember some drama around crusader kings where some mechanics don’t make sense unless you buy some DLCs

Things like compiling shaders, etc, shouldn’t be an issue on the new Xbox, for example.

From what I remember that’s exactly what MS is doing as well, xbox would let you download pre-compiled shaders for the ROG handheld. Though I don’t think you upload any of your own shaders since the xbox hardware is unified as opposed to steam having to support everybody on Linux

What a weird movie to bring back to theaters. It’s not a bad movie but Im not going to the theater to watch wedding crashers…

I played it last night and it honestly feels like a TV show more than a video game

that’s the point, it’s an interactive story similar to telltale’s games

link to the new ending video (SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY)

Without spoiling anything, it’s so much better. Supergiant have managed to fix my biggest issues with it

they crawl the entire internet, lemmy is definitely included

Mildly disappointed that they are releasing episodically.

at least theyre releasing it every week as opposed to Telltale’s old games where we had to wait months for the game to finish. I don’t mind it too much

was it really surprising considering how much money they keep losing?

Between alan wake 2 barely breaking even and fbc firebreak flopping hard, I can see why they would change the CEO. hopefully this doesn’t compromise the actual games in the future to try and get more money
