ryan , in Starfield physical release won't include physical disc

So, the physical release is just... actual garbage? Like sure, someone may proudly display it in their bookshelf or whatever, but then, it eventually becomes trash, and there's no reason to keep any of it because there's no physical copy of the game which can be resold or even borrowed out to friends?

That's not a "physical release", that's a piece of merchandise, as useful as a Funko Pop.

drifty , in Multiplayer boomer shooter without Microtransactions?

Using FACEit anti cheat and dropping Linux is a bad look. The game also doesn’t have any sound effects except for bullets. The moderation is also very strict, beware.

PrimAndProperPauper , in Does anyone else sometimes feel overwhelmed by (big) games?
@PrimAndProperPauper@kbin.social avatar

I really loved Divinity Original Sin II, but I've never finished it. At a certain point I lost momentum and afterwards the idea of trying to pick back up where I left off is just too daunting, and the idea of starting over again is even more daunting.

dead , in BattleBit Remastered is dominating Steam because there's no catch: it's just a lot of game for $15

I was about to buy this but apparently they are planning to change their current anti cheat software to FaceIt which does not support Linux. EAC is still used for upcoming selfhosted servers but ranking up is disabled. I’d rather not feel like being considered as a second class citizen so I’ll have to skip for now.

Other than that the game looks fun. I prefer to look in to the current state of the game rather than the promises of future content (which kind of contradicts my anti cheat point but eh), and I feel like the current price would be worth it even though it’s an early access game.

I considered it, but am now avoiding it because they're going to add a Linux-incompatible anticheat.

actsukrit , in Postal Devs ask fans to pirate games instead of using key resellers, giving explicit permission to fans
@actsukrit@lemm.ee avatar

I swear everyone here is missing the point.

The issue is scammers buy keys with stolen or fraudulent credit card info, then they sell those keys via key resellers like G2A to make money.

Meanwhile the original sale gets disputed, and the sellers are hit with a chargeback, which means not only do the developers have to pay back the money they made, but they also LOSE money because of chargeback fees that credit card companies levy on them for the disputed transaction.

It doesn’t matter that they can void the key that was fraudulently purchased, they still lost money on that sale because of the chargeback fee. That’s why they’re saying “please at least pirate it”, because in that case, while they’re not making a sale, they’re at least not losing money on the transaction.

Takeshidude , in POOM - A Pico8 Doom port

One day we’ll have faster-than-light spaceships and computers the size of a human hair, and we’ll still be making Doom run on them

seesaw , in Diablo IV has been disappointing so far

I constantly run out of mana, preventing me from spamming my main spells and enjoying playing as a Sorc

Couldn’t agree more. Problem is when I have mana and my CDs available, my damage output is insanely high. But once I’m out of mana and CDs are off, I just walk around like an idiot lol. My build takes out basic spell too so I literally have nothing else to do but walk around. It needs a rebalance, I don’t want to have such high burst dps but a more constant gameplay with stable dps output.

Tetra , in E3 2024 and 2025 cancelled according to Los Angeles tourism department

I thought E3 died a couple years ago already?

StarLuigi , in Famous Minecraft YouTuber Mumbo Jumbo plays FOSS Minecraft-like; Actually super enjoys it.

This was a really interesting video to check out. I expected this game to be much worse judging by it looks but it really reminds me of some Minecraft mods!

I1l0o0l1I , in What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming

There’s absolutely no age cut off for video games. I would even go further and say that more seniors should play video games.

But, I also wouldn’t be too judgy with people who think video games are for kids. This is all thanks to decades of marketing. Atari, the first popular video game console, was sold along side TVs and other electronics and was targeted towards everyone. But then Nintendo decided to market their console as a toy, instead of a consumer electronics product. Also, they had to pick a “boy” vs “girl” aisle, and they picked “boy”, which is why video games aren’t seen as girly.

squid , in Starfield's already the top seller

Wish people would wait to see what the game is actually like rather than blindly trusting a corporation… Consumerism sucks

domint , in Favorite iPad games?

There was a new version of the original Myst for the iPad that was promoted recently. For sure hours of fun and headaches in that one.

“what is the age cut off for socially acceptable fun having” is what I read. Do what you enjoy and anyone saying you shouldn’t do X, or you are too old to do Y aren’t the type of people I associate with. Just turned 30 and I never plan to stop.

blackdragoness , in What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming

41 year old woman here. I was born with gaming, I will die with gaming. Do not hide your gaming from the get go. Put it in your profile. Its a huge part of my life, so finding that in a partner is a must in my book. There are women out there that share my sentiment, and some that just like games or don't care.
