strongarm,

I’m not sure the worst year is specific to game developers though, the whole world is under economic squeeze, take a look at the layoffs in the tech industry.

strongarm,

You’ve done a great job with Thunder, quick to release when there wasn’t much competition and the releases have been great quality, I’ve particularly appreciated the performance improvements from earlier versions, well done!

strongarm,

Am I mistaken or are there loads of games this month for PS+ Essential, where usually there are 3?

strongarm,

It took me way too long to do the brain puzzle under Moonrise Tower on the controller 🤣

strongarm,

I definitely enjoyed it, but I found it tiring to watch at times, not only did I have to concentrate on all the motion during the expansive fight and traversal scenes but during that time the characters didn’t shut up!

So much chat and quips with intense action, it got hard to really follow at times.

strongarm,

Love the irreverence Inn the patch notes

strongarm,

I hope this series picks up, I feel like S2 was a bit too self aware

strongarm,

Yes, but you need to work with a porting company or pay for proprietary software

strongarm,

What client are you using?

I’m on Thunder and the image is sharp

strongarm,

Sounds like Godot is more for your usecase then

strongarm,

Isn’t this the outcome from it all?

Rational people who aren’t fanboys or haters buy and play games with low expectations, and are rarely disappointed.

strongarm,

They should put the money into education instead

strongarm,

Agreed, the best attempt was the subscription model for mmorpgs, but even that hasn’t been ubiquitous

Commando: A Home Port Comparison (i.imgur.com)

Commando (released as Senjō no Ōkami in Japan, Wolf of the Battlefield) is a 1985 Capcom arcade shooter. Word to the wise: Commando isn’t based on the Schwarzenegger movie of the same name - that’s some false knowledge I’ve carried round with me for close to forty years… oh, how I’ve embarrassed myself at dinner...

strongarm,

Wow can’t believe the old Atari and Intellivision even had ports.

The old Intellivision was an interesting console, with a dialpad and spin disk for a controller and speech synthesiser add-on. I will never forget “B 17 Bomb b ber”

strongarm,

In my experience it’s like 2 players have full agency to play independently, unlike other coop games where the experience for player two is often driven by player one.

In BG3 you can run off in completely different directions, engage with your own NPCs in conversation while the other player starts a fight and it’s seamless

strongarm,

They’re a strange developer are Fatshark, clearly very talented creatively, but their business side needs improvement.

Poor choices but with MTX and their project management is dire

Bomb Jack: A Home Port Comparison (lemmy.world)

I feel as if I’ve been hanging out at the arse-end of the 80s a lot recently, comparing ports on computers that had no business running them. I’ve long suspected that if you want to see 8-bit micros at their best, you’re better served hanging around in 1986 rather than 1989. Things were so much more achievable back then…...

strongarm,

It’s amazing stuff, thank you.

Have you ever done Bruce Lee comparison?

strongarm,

Yeah mine too, played it through so much on the Spectrum, it was such a unique multiplayer experience too.

strongarm,

Indeed compare the original Star Wars 3 films compared to episodes 1, 2, 3.

The practical effects are much more seamless

strongarm,

Trying to get people excited about going back into the office

strongarm,

No need to be buying games on Epic

strongarm,

Ah, I noticed this, I felt the same didn’t understand why the truth, doubt system didn’t seem to match up with the response.

Still a great game though at the time and I felt it hard to play other immersive games where the character face animation was so poor in comparison

strongarm,

I’m not convinced she can act

strongarm,

Ajar

strongarm,

Then what’s the point of them?

strongarm,

I don’t think you understand… This IS - THE Science Museum

strongarm,

According to what?

strongarm,

Hey chill out, this isn’t Reddit!

I hadn’t read anything about her in the news and wondered if I missed some controversy.

But if this is from your own experience well that’s just… More interesting!

strongarm,

I’ve finished Kingmaker and WotR is in my backlog.

Pathfinder is a really decent RPG system with tons of choice, but the game Kingmaker comes out as quite linear, you don’t really have much choice in how you play the game apart from being good or evil.

The game is split between being a typical adventure explorer RPG and being a kingdom management game, the former is interesting and has good quests, the latter is opaque, difficult to get to grips with and inflexible.

The worse part is no matter your best intentions, it you don’t do exactly the right things with your kingdom you can find yourself in a dire losing position by the late game.

I don’t mind games that have failure conditions, but losing the Kingmaker game after 30+hrs of playtime because your kingdom starts rioting and you can’t complete any events seems too harsh to me.

Personally I had to turnoff all the failure conditions in the options so that I could grind through the game to get through the final quests, it ended up leaving a bitter taste for the game which started off as promising.

I hear most of these issues have been addressed in WotR though so I’m looking forward to picking up that.

Ubisoft Can Delete Inactive Accounts, Making Users Lose Access to Their Games (gamerant.com)

In a response to a post from the AntiDRM Twitter account, Ubisoft Support has clarified that users who don’t sign in to their account can potentially lose access to Ubisoft games they’ve purchased. The initial post from AntiDRM featured a snippet of an e-mail sent to a user from Ubisoft notifying them that their account had...

strongarm,

GoG is no longer completely DRM free, one example is the Hitman games that require online connection to play.

strongarm,

Great game

strongarm,

Power consumption wise wouldn’t a laptop be expensive to run as a server compared to other options?

strongarm,

Reported! But it's nothing personal :)
