Well most review sites give it high scores with the negatives being primarily the performance so at least this time there might be a good game in there somewhere underneath all those shader compilation stutters

remaster, not remake

Fyi Reddit spoiler masking doesn’t work on lemmy. You need to use

I suppose, but do you really think a company will play with fire like that?

All for competition but how is bringing a new competitor to the video game platform market going to solve this when the order came from the payment processors?

Yeah there is one section in the DLC that you have to work extra hard to avoid useless killing…

If you got burnt out on Minecraft have a look at Vintage Story too

I mean the issue here is not with the money itself, it’s the payment processors

Well, say, country-size :D

Does that lead to any performance hiccups with very detailed svgs? The benefit of raster is you can mipmap them, so you don’t need to see how super detailed the coast of a country is like when it’s only a few pixels on screen. I suppose you could fake mipmaps by having different levels of detail for svgs that get swapped between, as long as any other changes you make to the svg are simple colour changes?

Hmm I’m not sure using gacha games which are designed for addictive gameplay loops and predatory monetisation being the games that your kid prefers over standalone experiences is a good argument to make

Cart persistence and going through the actual checkout is not great. Plus even as a browser there’s no progress bar or sense of stuff still doing something so you’re sat waiting for things to progress

Trying to buy gog through heroic, I have no issues with using gog in a browser

If only the store UI wasn’t buggy lol

They claimed they won’t, but we’ll have to see their actions https://www.nexusmods.com/news/15301?comment_id=155643499

Nah there’s some games that still only have stuff on moddb, thunderstore is the main place for v rising and a few other popular titles, and for Minecraft there’s curseforge and modrinth, and GOG is adding mods now too. The community is more fragmented than you’d think

To add to the conversation, one of the two new owners has replied to some questions: https://www.nexusmods.com/news/15301?comment_id=155643499

You are excited for a new game, I am excited for more russian bfg remixes coming out, we are not the same

It just looks like Pokémon trainer models, but worse in terms of proportions.

This looks… Rough. The character designs seem to be a major downgrade from before, and the lore and plot don’t seem to follow up at all on the last game?

… yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.

I’d argue they’re the most vocal about it, but no. They release a half lobotomized set of tools, they keep making modder unfriendly changes to the games (recompiling the exe for no reason every time a new cc mod was released for Skyrim, which meant you needed to wait for skse to update too) including having load order broken at launch in Starfield. Also the many ways and attempts they’ve made at monetising mods with them getting a cut. Not to mention this new Oblivion game needs new tools to work with it and once again like with Skyrim VR, “modding is unsupported”, though that could just be a decision made by the Devs since they’re developed by third party studios.

I’d say Larian is actually pulling their weight tho, with bg3 modding going quite well and them frequently highlighting mods on their twitter. Also CDPR who looked at the most popular mods and added them to the base game as polished features.

While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work

Do I have a video for you
