Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it’s 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

Curvature , in Games that have stuck with you?

Portal 1.

Something about the ambiance mixed with the puzzles really stuck with me. I replay it almost once a year just to relive it.

Spaenny , in How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
@Spaenny@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.

DungeonPastor , in I'm going back to the basics this summer. Minecraft.

I’ll always have a soft spot for Minecraft and it’s open world base building goodness.

If you want “Minecraft, but more grown up,” I can’t recommend Vintage Story enough. It’s actually an offshoot of a survival modpack for Minecraft if I recall correctly. A more involved crafting system (i.e. knapping tool heads out of stone, casting and forging metal tools, etc) and a threatening winter make for a very fun survival game. Still in active development with a pretty good pace of new content regularly, and a lively mod scene.

omenmis , in Looks like CS2 will have mixed use zoning!

that’s awesome!

unrelated but i think it’s really funny that both cities skylines 2 and counter strike 2 are being talked about around the same time, thus both get CS2

idle , in Starfield locked to 30fps on console, Bethesda confirms

So on a series X you are forced to run it at 4k?

EnigmaNL ,
@EnigmaNL@feddit.nl avatar

I think that’s just the display resolution. I expect this game will use dynamic render resolution like most games these days. The render resolution will probably not hit 4K often (if at all).

DON’T PREORDER SHIT YOU STUPID

Kerb , in Don’t forget the last Bethesda AAA game - The Fall of 76 - YouTube
@Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

In all honesty, i doubt, it will be as bad as 76.

Unless they try to push the creation club by blocking mods and thus community patches,
It wont be nearly as bad.

A lot of the issues with 76 stem from it being a multiplayer game.

The multiplayer aspect prevented mods& community bugfixes, and caused Cheaters & p2w.

Buggy messes are honestly what Bethesda’s already known for, so unless they are foolish enough to block the unofficial patches,
Its gonna be a somewhat decent release even if it won’t live up to the hype.

I still wouldn’t be caught dead preordering anything Bethesda made,
But it certainly won’t be as disastrous as 76

Stop preordering omg

cielnova , in Is there anything I should know before starting Hollow Knight?
@cielnova@lemmy.ca avatar

there’s a lot of bugs so watch out for those

melonpunk , in Sony is buying Bungie, the developer of Destiny and original creator of Halo
@melonpunk@lemmy.world avatar

This was last year, and they did buy them.

PixelPlumber ,

Lol the post is a year old, it’s just that this community wasn’t alive then so you can easily find it in sorting. Hopefully enough of us make this place more lively!

Do not preorder ffs…

GetsThruBuckner , in What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?
@GetsThruBuckner@lemmy.world avatar

Persona 5 Royal. Close 2nd is Nier: Automata. Both amazing OSTs

youknowthatthing ,

P5R had an excellent soundtrack

BluePhoenix01 ,

My main wish after P5R soundtrack was released… is that I wish there was a definitive playlist of the order once both soundtracks are merged. As of right now, there is a set list for P5 and then a separate one for P5R…

Maybe I need to keep looking, or generate it myself (it’s harder than it seems though).

Check out J-music Ensemble’s Persona 5 cover album Metagroove! It’s really well made, I couldn’t go back to listening the vanilla soundtrack without thinking of it.

shadowfly , in Starfield's already the top seller

The game looks promising, from what i have seen.

Few questions remain: Will it dethrone Jedi Survivor as worst performing game? Will it surpass Redfall in it’s emptyness? Does it have a chance fighting LOTR Gollum in “Most 2023ish game of the year”? Or will it truly be a Masterpiece? (Hint: Masterpieces don’t get released in 2023).

We will find out at release. Together with those that preorderd.

Stop. Preordering.

The people that preorder clearly aren’t listening

SenorBolsa ,
@SenorBolsa@beehaw.org avatar

Like at least find out if the planets are any good first and not just 2000 procedurally generated flavors of bear asses to collect.

Hopefully there’s a whole RPG game in there and those are just side stuff to muck around and get some loot.

Why are people advising against pre-ordering? Is Bethesda known for not meeting expected release dates?

Nymphioxetine ,

Basically, preordering incentivizes companies to release games that are not finished. In general, companies will always maximize revenues while minimizing costs. If they can release a game that didn’t cost them as much to produce (getting massive preorders through good marketing but pinching development and quality) then they absolutely will. look at any AAA released this year

Forkk ,

Why are people buying products that they can’t even have until release day?
