Elden ring i think is supposed to get at least one expansion

It's clear to me that they aren't that sure that a new AC would have been well recieved in the modern market
So this was very much a toe dipping than a full dive

Elden ring was a massive dive but in a market they are incredibly familiar with, can't wait for the ER DLC

Okay after that, all fromsoft needs to do to achieve the status of Lord of Games is to make King's Field V

why is everyone so obessed with cloud gaming????
quiet swift
'Cause apparently companies think that's the future of gaming 😐
slim thorn
what exactly does "cloud gaming" refer to these days
I feel like it shifted since I first heard the phrase but I've never tried any version of it
quiet swift
Some of the Microsoft leaks were pointing towards the next console (or the one after?) being heavily designed towards being mainly about cloud gaming - as in, the hardware in the machine doesn't matter too much since you'd be playing it through the cloud on another machine, I think?
mossy flume
Yeah, that probably follows from how games like MSFS work
slim thorn
...that has me worried
whose machine, for starters
I mean I've been fully sold on PC gaming for over a generation anyway, but this only pushes me farther away
bleak lintel
I don't think it will take hold.
fresh bane
what exactly does "cloud gaming" refer to these days
You don't actually download/install the game instead it's sort of 'streamed' on your end from another machine
that's about as far as I know I think 
bleak lintel
Some people use xcloud to try a game before doing the 100GB download. That's the most solid reason I can think of.
fresh bane
Having a future console entirely dedicated to cloud gaming is possibly one of the worst decisions you could make but at this point in history I think we all know very well that companies/executives/shareholders/CEOs/whoever the fuck, doesn't care about any actual feedback or what players and consumers want and they will keep and keep pushing this ''innovative new technology that's the future for X/Y'' until it either sticks or they lose all their consumerbase
slim thorn
I was about to say I could see it making sense as an option alongside the games I already own through Steam or another service, and "xcloud" apparently is tied to gamepass so yeah that does make some sense
visual hill
remember that with cloud gaming, there is no such thing as cracking games
which makes it interesting for publishers
console gaming is already achieving that on Xbox – neither the One nor Series have been cracked yet (not even the Xbox One VCR!)
both PS4 and PS5 have been cracked, though only older firmware
slim thorn
despite it being a non-starter for any game where lag would be bad, which is everything I play 
quiet swift
The appeal is being able to play the game from absolutely anywhere, given the right connection speed. If the game supports it, play it from your PC, your steam deck, your phone or even your fridge (not serious example but you get what I mean)
visual hill
oh and when you delist a game, you can ensure literally nobody can play it anymore

The power to RUN the game would be from whatever cloud computer you're connecting to. On your device it's a smooth 60fps etc

I think controlled streaming (e.g. Moonlight) is great, it has a lot of use cases
visual hill
is this supposed to be a pro? <:rdsnrk:587780329335422977>
for a publisher, yes
slim thorn
to be clear, yes, for someone who wants a stationary PC, I get the appeal of streaming from it to some other device in the rest of the house
fresh bane
I can understand it being an option especially for any device that isn't powerful enough to actually run the game especially any portable consoles or hell even your damn phone but consoles aren't really supposed to be the main way to utilize cloud gaming, if someone buys a console they kind of expect it to run whatever game they have
visual hill
streaming at 120 FPS (or more!) makes the latency a lot more palatable, even if your display is only 60 Hz. It also helps hide frame drops by giving your display some redundant frames
GeForce Now has support for up-to-240 FPS streaming at 1080p, and 120 FPS at 1440p

That actually sounds more interesting than simply going 100% in either direction like making everything entirely cloud based
But I still think it should be just an option and nothing more
I really don't want games to become even MORE reliant on internet access than they already are

personally, all the modern PC games I play work offline and are easy to mod, and the internet-y aspects of Steam in practice mostly mean that everyone else can look at my achiements list, and I can easily uninstall or re-download whenever I feel like it

I haven't watched it yet, but my favorite game of the tournament so far is yesterday's
In the bronze medal match, the players agreed behind the scenes to only get armors in order, no matter where they're randomized
If you do intend to watch it, I recommend you take it easy and don't get too involved because the structure they have can be too much for a new person, but here's a UI summary:
Left and right top side screens are the competitors. Bottom right and bottom left is the items they have found, the number panel middle right and middle left is the level and stats. Green stats means they can beat the final boss comfortably.

robust spear
EA has FIFA which is one of the most predatory MTX games ever.
random steppe
But yeah, their sports products
Good point
I guess it just doesn't affect me because I don't play sports games largely
So I notice it less
Activision had the lootboxes, now they removed them from OW2 so that's a plus
Now they added a system that makes the game much less rewarding wich is an L for them, but still, they get props for removing lootboxes anyway from me
I am not familiar with their COD monetisation tho

They still have plenty of micro transactions in Diablo Immortal which is apparently their best performing game for making money

In Diablo Immortal, no. There are a lot of non-cosmetic transactions.

With a bunch of cosmetic shit around it
I wish we could go back to the expansion model
If I could force everyone to do it like PDX does, I would in an heartbeat
Sell an expansion, and a few cosmetic packs around it, is better than most gaming companies do with their microtransactions
It's not even microtransactions
It's just expansions with cosmetic side stuff, which I mean, I wish the cosmetic stuff was boundled with the expansion, that would be better
But at least it's not in lootboxes one song or skin at a time

in my case, I played it once on release and that was it, so none of this was present at the time; I'm seeing it for the first time today

idk, I think Paradox's business model is the prime example of fragmenting a game
I mean sure it's better than some stupid microtransactions and gachas
It's not fine
It's less worse
random steppe
I feel like, in the context that paradox is developing in, it's really good.
dire gate
idk I could never find the price justifiable
I guess they at least sell an affordable subscription plan now
random steppe
They deliver very nichè titles that take a lot of research to get right, with frequent substantial expansions to them.
That is already half a miracle, I'm sure the economics on it are razor thin so I wont necessarily fault them for putting out some cosmetic stuff on the side.
Now it's not always true, sometimes the expansions are shit and they should feel bad, but on the grand scheme of things I'd rather have Paradox doing this one thing none else in the industry seems to get right.
On the gameplay side I mean
dire gate
I do agree that it is not very profitable but the price tag makes it, ironically, harder to start with
HOI4's full bundle is over 170 bucks
That's like 3 full games
It feels like "Well I mean we only have few of you who will buy those games anyway, so I'll squeeze your wallet as much as possible"
random steppe
A new player coming in, should just wait for a sale and just buy the expansions ignoring the cosmetic stuff
slim thorn
how much is it excluding the cosmetics, and anything else a new player actually wouldn't want yet?
dire gate
Well easy way out is just get a subscription for a month while playing
random steppe
Yeah that's also true, with the subscritpion that's actually the best way
dire gate
idk I can understand the reasoning and I can see what is going on, but the number of "expansions" and the price seems a bit too bloated
I saw people having other issues with it but I wasn't there when things happened so I can't be the one complaining about those
robust spear
2009 Train Simurator has the most DLC I think. Over 700 with most it them still costing between $15-$40 each.

Jesus christ Discord connection sucks
random steppe
Hoi is also 7 years of development in so it's not that it popped out day one with all that stuff
And expansions do get deep discounts on sales.
And yeah, Discord is exploding
robust spear
random steppe
Like, not ideal, I agree it could be better, but PDX is putting out very unique games, is doing what I consider to be a good way of building on a game generally (ignoring the fuckups they do along the way for when they release a bad expansion, which happens) so I am more likely to cut it some slack.
Also same reason I would defend Train Simulator
Or DCS World which is a very similar product
The game is the platform, and you buy one train/plane you want to learn, which is simulated to the extreme degree of accuracy, and that's like, several hours worth of content for the right person.
Not for me but it's for some people

oh god umineko isnt that game like in the tens of hours long?
"tens"
for a visual novel, 10-20 hours of reading would be considered short
gaunt marten
You're supposed to read?
Just autoskip until you get a choice and look at the character art
bronze abyss
for a visual novel, 10-20 hours of reading would be considered short
i didnt wanna overshoot too hard so thought tens of hours would be a wide enough range
how long is it actually?
only VNs i played were like DDLC cuz thats a necessity p much,uuuh a bit of collar x malice aswell befreo i realised its a dating sim not a mystery horror VN
slim thorn
howlongtobeat says 120-150 hours for all 8 chapters
bronze abyss
if you have any psych horror shit ill gladly take that
slim thorn
which would qualify as "long" for a VN
oddly enough I never got around to DDLC myself
howlongtobeat puts that at 4-7.5 hours
bronze abyss
play it yourself if you havent,it hits so much harder
river veldt
itms very good
slim thorn
wow it's that short?
river veldt
yes
slim thorn
I really should make time for it then
I always figured it was at least 10-20 for some reason
bronze abyss
yea ddlc is really short you can probs fit it in less time aswell
its too short imop the characters didnt even get developed properly
slim thorn
right? at 10 hours you're just getting started
gaunt marten
It's just Monica a really concise story with no unnecessary parts
bronze abyss
feel like its more of a tech demo for 4th wall breaks rather than a actual complete game
slim thorn
anyway this is why there were not very many VN fan translators when I showed up
20 hours of reading is a lot of text to get through, like months to translate
river veldt
DDLC+ feels complete to me
bronze abyss
dont think it adds anything of substance to the characters
river veldt
but i guess play the free original version and then if you want more play Plus
bronze abyss
im p sure i spent more time on collar x malice before i got to the dating part than i spent playing through ddlc

Time to remove games from my wishlist
https://store.steampowered.com/app/449610/Monster_Boy_and_the_Cursed_Kingdom/ is on a 75% off sale. Am I willing to buy it at that price? It probably won't go down much more.
Now that I look like it, it doesn't really seem interesting to play, so no
https://store.steampowered.com/app/474960/Quantum_Break/ is in the same situation. It's finally a good price, but I'm no longer interested.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/525040/The_Disney_Afternoon_Collection/ Disney Afternoon Collection is interesting, but I find myself only interested in it for historical reasons and for the DuckTales soundtrack, so I'm removing it from my wishlist even though it's 75% off
https://store.steampowered.com/app/591460/Parkasaurus/ is 75% off, and it seems very neat, however, if I want to buy the expansions, it's still not cheap enough, so it's staying in my wishlist.
It's FTL but from the Teleglitch devs
In concept I find myself excited to play it, but in practice I don't think I'll play it any time soon, so should I buy it, or wait for a bigger sale?
It's cheap enough I might grab it right now and play it later, but I think there will be future equivalent shares, so maybe when I want to play it I'll return to it
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1039280/ProtoCorgi/ seems cute but too shallow (and I have to pay more money than Americans do, instead of less), so I'll take it off my list
And that's everything in the list!

Playing ALBW will make life make sense 
I may be biased because I went from over 100 hours in TOTK to ALBW but I liked the way that game handled story and characters and an open world with lots of player freedom way better
Helps that it was a lot more compact too so I didn't have to waste 2 hours on doing quests
The last portion of TOTK made me a bit sad because it's when I kind of realized ''man, I want more of THIS ''
I feel like BOTW worked because it was a really cool fresh take on an already established formula but when you try to establish that as the new formula it kinda loses the novelty and is not as good 
but that's just me (I still think TOTK is the better version of BOTW though)

NRS games have always had shit like this
MK9 had a stupid ass priority system where if two hits clashed and hit at the same frame it was random on if, P1 would beat it out or P1 and P2 would just trade, P2 never had a chance to win out
competitive players used to rps at match start to get P1
fresh bane
starting to think NRS games just aren't that good
as someone who hasn't touched a Mortal Kombat game since Armageddon I can't say this affects me but I feel bad for competitive players
I know casual players won't really care either way they're not the ones to particularly care about frame data and combos and what not
chilly mural
competitive players will complain about anything, so don't worry
also MK armegeddon has some funny shit regarding combos
I highly recommend checking out this video on how it is
fresh bane
Combos in Armageddon be like:
You can do 120% Combo, but you need to be player 2 on the Subway stage playing on a windows monitor and it has to be a Thursday and you can only use Mokap and the sun has to be shining and you must've previously performed a blood sacrifice to the elder gods and then you have to use your controller upside down
Well it's my favourite MK game simply based on the fact that it was the one I played the most in the PS2 (bring back Motor Kart 
) so I guess I'll check it out

The first few pictures of Frostpunk 2 gameplay have been revealed:

gaunt marten
They have a Fullscreen ad and a title screen ad for Frostpunk 2 embedded into Frostpunk 1
I'd take a picture but I'm not at my computer right now
arctic fern
Yeah that isn't great ngl
Got me hyped for a game that's not releasing till next year
green fulcrum
I'm so confused by what both of you are saying.
gaunt marten
Frostpunk 1 literally has a banner ad injected into the game
It advertises Frostpunk 2.
mossy flume
I thought you were claiming that Frostpunk 1 wasn't out yet
green fulcrum
I don't see what's wrong with them advertising the sequel in the first game, tbh.
gaunt marten
The problem is it's annoying
It shows up every time you play the game. You can't dismiss the ad or buy the game
The game is already a paid product. It should not have ads
green fulcrum
But it's only on the title screen, so I still don't really see the problem, unless it's a massive ad that takes up a huge portion of the screen.
green fulcrum
Ah
gaunt marten
And there's another ad that is smaller afterwards
green fulcrum
That's different then
gaunt marten
Regardless of the size, I pay them money for the product, not to get advertised to
rose rose
where is it? 
gaunt marten
I don't know. This is not what the title screen looked like when I played about a year ago
rose rose
though regardless, I do not at all begrudge someone announcing that they are working on an upcoming thing.
I do think I have seen it somewhere.
gaunt marten
I am fine with them announcing it in a small update on the side
As long as they're not too obnoxious about it
rose rose
none of the menu items have anything either, and the big splash screen also did not mention it
gaunt marten
The game's update feed should be about things relevant to the game itself
rose rose
gaunt marten
It's good that they cleaned up their act then
Here's a thread complaining about it from two years ago
https://steamcommunity.com/app/323190/discussions/0/3042731710349143532/
The thread confirms they did have a Fullscreen ad you had to click through to get to the title screen
It made it more of a hassle to get the game started every session for absolutely no reason
They also had modified the capsule art for the game on Steam
Valve no longer allows this sort of modification in a rule released around July last year
I have no problem with games that make announcement to people who are interested in future projects, but I didn't like seeing ads tell me to go wishlist Frostpunk 2 the moment I actually bought Frostpunk 1
wind stump
Wait, SIXTY CARDS?
So I managed to pull this off and it fucking instant kills the enemy
gaunt marten
I haven't even played the game and they advertised to me
wind stump
Yeah, that isn't the best idea

what I'm used to and totally fine with is getting ads for their other games when I finish the game I'm currently playing
rose rose
I do not think I have ever seen that.

(I've never looked much at Frostpunk so can't comment on that specifically)
rose rose
I have seen a lot of "hey look at our new game" in menus though.

Those are usually fine and out of the way

I feel like I get DLC ads more often in menus, which makes sense as there are often menu options I actually need to use in connection with that DLC

In fairness the first mission is kind of the main point of the thing. And not easy.
fresh bane
This reminds me of the situation with Arma 3 DLCs and how an ad/pop up for a DLC...
since I don't play Arma I don't know the whole specifics but Arma DLC stuff seems to work in the way that you can use DLC items and vehicles and such if a server/mission allows you to it just bothers and annoys you with watermarks and pop ups to actually go buy the DLC but doesn't completely block you from using the DLC stuff, if you don't have it so you get stuff like this
white phoenix
oh hey those things
yeah you can potentially spawn with dlc items or ride in the back of dlc vehicles, but whenever you do, you get watermarks like that that pop up once in a while
the screen isn't always like that though

Unless you have set Jiji's shop to max items
Simple key is the only entrance. All the others are exits
(or shortcuts you unlock later)

ah, that does make it simple then
and my 3rd Tunic hexagon is behind a rancid egg check so this is actually important for multiworld progression

You can't get in without a key, but also it doesn't contain many checks without swimming

There's a mod that adds a charm allowing you to uninfect crossroads while equipped

all right, time to find out how bad I am at failed champion
I died in 10 seconds lol
3rd try was close
gaunt marten
A big part of beating Failed Champion is in being as methodical as possible.
slim thorn
yep, this is all about staying focused long enough to simply not make more than a few mistakes
gaunt marten
For me it's about resisting the urge to hit him in every window possible
slim thorn
for me it's that you basically can't heal until he staggers
(I'm aware I could bring quick focus and shape of unn, and I might if this feels like I'm stuck)
gaunt marten
You basically don't need to heal
slim thorn
I mean, it'd be a lot easier if it was an option
but sure the challenge is git gud enough you don't need to
gaunt marten
You start the fight at full health, so all you have to do is squander all of it but one point
You can take blue health from the mound to him if you need the extra edge
slim thorn
anyway I need to focus, 5th and 6th deaths were worse than 3rd and 4th
ugh what is causing these lag spikes
gaunt marten
I think you installed a performance profiler earlier
When you were looking for an FPS counter
slim thorn
turning off most other apps and fullscreening HK was enough to get me into proper focus mode and then somehow even the lag spikes couldn't stop me (still took... 15 tries?)
this game has great bosses
gaunt marten
Lifeblood core for one!
slim thorn
oh right, I didn't even think about the implications of the charm
gaunt marten
I find the bee heart charm to be counterproductive since the waiting time is so long
Hiveblood. That's what it's called
slim thorn
I have Hiveblood on mostly because it was one of the earliest charms I got in this rando and it's better than nothing
gaunt marten
So unless it's free I don't bother putting it on
slim thorn
but I do believe you're right that it's time to swap it for something more meta
oh, I might actually need that
