  • "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade

    Jump

  • It's very sluggish compared to Steam; everything is slower in GOG client. I wonder if it is a server problem or my region.

  • Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games

    Jump

  • I have only paid for three games with this kind of money:

    -America and Euro Truck Simulator

    -Rimworld

    Time to go back to retro gaming, they are free on abandonware or dirt cheap on GOG, I can handle the retrojank and graphics.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Ultima Underworld, I feel like getting back into retro gaming, so the first thing I have to do is to follow the tradition: read the manual. If I didn't, I wouldn't have known I could make popcorn with a lit torch; that is an early prototype of "combine items" like in survival horror games.

    I have tried a little Ultima 7: The Serpent Isle just to test how it runs on my machine; they definitely made sure that you pass the test of the history of Britannia before you can even continue the game.

    Really like the old days when they still made booklets like History of Britannia (as told by Kyle the Younger), just so that you get immersed in the game world before you even play the game.

  • Devil Daggers 2 is in development, as its creator confirms fewer than 1,500 people survived longer than 8 minutes in the original

    Jump

  • This game kicked my ass back then. I think 5 mins was my max.

  • Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?

    Jump

  • ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

    Jump

  • They do moderate, threads disappear out of thin air, locked due to specific reasons. I've reported many, from minor insults to racism, and many of the times they take action. And I considered Steam more heavily moderated than both Lemmy and Reddit, unless you are in a beleaguered community.

    The review section, though, is a dev problem; it can be a bit of a wildland, and that is true.

  • Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST

    Jump

  • I still remember they put Deus Ex in the freezer, handed it over to Embracer, then they murdered it before the final chapter.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • Well, many complex games have no budget on graphics, that's why you can have one-man army dev making a monster of a game like Aurora 4x.

  • Games you fell out of love with.

    Jump

  • Hearts of Iron 2

    When I realised Aurora 4x, a free space 4x game with an ugly UI, does ground trooper even more in-depth than a specialised WWII game, it starts to feel like a toy; there's just no contest between these two when it comes to complexity in terms of moment-to-moment decision making.

  • Silent Hill: Townfall - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games

    Jump

  • This looks inspired by Condemned: Criminal Origins, alright, count me in.

  • Control Resonant - Gameplay Reveal

    Jump

  • Nice, reminds me of DMC.

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • No thanks, I have Children of a Dead Earth if I want to build ships, a much better sandbox when you can give your overpowered ships to the AI, and you can try to defeat it with default ships. NMS is too form over function to me.

    If I want to build a dollhouse, I will just go with House Flipper, much more focused on interior design, even architects could take inspiration from its design.

    If I want settlement management, Dwarf Fortress is much deeper.

    NMS is a generalist open-world sandbox; it is not going to compete with specialist sandbox games in terms of depth, unless you want vibe and chill.

    Jump

  • That's not my argument, you tell that to @Jollyllama, but then again:

    6IX9INE- GOOBA - 922m views 6ix9ine - BEBE ft. Anuel AA - 1.6 bn views

    The Best of Beethoven - 66m views Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata - 225m views

    Ouch, he is right, quote and quote with some modification "Some may not enjoy it and that’s their opinion but he is pulling more listener numbers and higher ratings and most other music artists."

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • You tell that to the chill players when people mention "improve combat", but why do fans complain when it is free, right? It is wild. xD

  • Gothic 1 Remake | Release Date Trailer (June 5th)

    Jump

  • I have only played Gothic 2, so it's time to revisit the games at some point. I heard there is a full-game-sized mod as well.

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • Appeal to popularity! Why do you think people like 6ix9ine instead of Beethoven? xD

    Enjoy your slop!

  • A good game doesn't have to be deep, but it has to be well-executed by a well-formulated concept.

    ETS 2 is even simpler, and what do you do in there? You drive from point A to B, but the journey is the reward; it is fleeting, but it is a limited yet beautiful representation of Europe.

    There are mountains of Diorama Builders trying to do exactly what the chill crowd want.

    Those are way more honest chill games than a fanbase trying to claim to be the best space game, yet you do garbage collection.

    I mean, sure, I love to turn off my brain as well when I watch Supernatural, but it is a shallow show despite its charm. xD

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • Nah, the length of an artwork does not indicate depth, tons of TV shows lasting over 10 seasons and 42 mins per episodes and they are still shallow, still don't pack a punch like the good old BBC Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Alec Guinness plays the role to perfection.

    But remember, that's where they spent their development time, instead of improving the original concept... Oh, wait, they still have the sandbox as the shield to widen the ocean as much as possible.

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • Pretty sure the ***chill *** portion of the fanbase will disagree with the survival aspect of the game and note how mundane it is, unless you blindfold yourself and never use any scanner.
