Baldur's Gate 3 just called, it says that anon is a moron.

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Warframe also called. They have all of the cool stuff Destiny fans have been begging for since forever.

And, somehow: Mario kart mode? Better-gameplay-loop-than-star-citizen space ship to ship combat? Boy band villains.

Also they recently re-optimized their game and added a bunch of modern compression algorithms so a DX12 game runs decently on the switch.

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

I sincerely hope warframe never dies. I love it to pieces.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

Even EA has managed to make a better starship combat game than Star Citizen. Obviously it's EA so naturally they abandoned it but still. For about 10 minutes there EA made a good game, full VR support too.

And yet, I am still suprised and new ideas still are created

[–] Flemmy@lemm.ee 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"it's all over" because a anon said so.

Anon is a fool. We have barely even begun to make games gay.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldurs Gate 3 want to have a word with anon

[–] truxnell@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

For sure! I definitely feel we've drastically slowed down but media is by no means dead. It can be harder to find the gems than before in some regards though.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hnm that definitely applies to AAA games, although I feel like the power dynamics are just changing. We see more and more indie smash hits, compared to AAA hits imo

[–] truxnell@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah for sure, I've been fairly focussed on indies the last 5-7 years and only jump on AAA after it's released and reviews are in/on special. I believe there's only so large a human run corporation can be before it turns into an unmanageable mess and quality/focus of the product suffers, and most AAA are well past that point. Indies are the new small-medium sized fun Devs.

Wrt to gaming and other entertainment media, it's only easy to find the gems now because the dirt has mostly been sifted out of the old stuff. There's a reason you still hear people talking about Cowboy Bebop, and not Brain Powerd

Then again you also hear people talking about Elfen Lied but not NieA_7, so what do I know?

[–] truxnell@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's also true, tbh I've been notorious for not getting into' anything - I don't personally follow game news or hype much in the last 10-15 years, I'l wait until my friends pressure me into 'you have to consume X!', often well after it's out and forgotten. I let my friends be the canary in the gold mine, still not sure if that makes me a bad friend... Has helped me avoid amazing TV shows that get cancelled/shit the bed though (still haven't forgiven GoT producers)

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just saw a video of a teenage girl with biotic arms that actually functioned so no I don't believe that all the cool stuff is in the past

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And yet you're talking about something you saw in the past. Maybe you just crossed the threshold.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes but I saw it after this post was created, proving the axiom of the original post false.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Good point. OP should have waited to post that after you saw that video.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 2 months ago

... and that's why 4chan went offline. because there's nothing new to be said anymore. it has all been said already anyways

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This man isn't wise, he's just Grandpa Simpson.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah, there are a lot of cool games out, especially when you take indy games into consideration.

[–] Franklin@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

imagine blaming capitalism on the gays

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago

Now get off my lawn!

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hate to say it, but currently playing a lightly modded New Vegas is the most I've enjoyed a video game in while. Haven't touched it since I played it at release on the 360.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm playing a heavily modded fallout 4 (London) and I'm realizing it's actually a really good game if you let someone else do the writing.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, I kinda forgot about that one. Is it working well enough on its own or does it need some extra fixes to not crash?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Buffout is a musthave mod to make loading times acceptable, but nowadays it works really well.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does it work on deck ? How hard is it to install ?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't have a steam deck, so I can't say. It's very easy to install on PC though, there's an installer on GOG, but they sounds like it would be annoying on the steamdeck

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Omg Jujutsu Kaisen

[–] Linearity 6 points 2 months ago

That’s not true Persona is modern.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

In terms of amazing new games, Terra Invicta is eating all my free time. I'm losing over and over because it's a sprawling beast of a grand strategy game, but still fascinating to poke around and see how deep the rabbithole goes.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Hazelight Studios, and all of their fans, would like to have a word with anon.
