Deep Rock is amazing. Great gameplay and it’s not constantly trying to sell you something because you already bought the game.
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Drg really is the best, I don’t care for the current seasons infection mechanics though. I plan on coming back once that’s gone, I actually enjoyed the robot invasion season
DeLift@feddit.nl 10 months ago
In a recent update you can turn them off, so they don’t show up no more. Rock and Stone!
MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Same here. I played the season to unlock everything, but it wasn’t my favorite season. I wish they’d do more bug stuff like bug bosses or something.
But, also I have everything unlocked and I’m 3 ruby? stars on all my chars. I still jump in for fun occasionally, and when a new season rolls out. I did a deep dive last night and an epic deep dive. We didn’t make it through the epic deep dive heh.

Is DRG still new player friendly? I’ve been thinking about starting but like so many online multiplayer games I feel like I’d have to catch up on so many mechanics and probably annoy people with my ineptitude
MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It is probably the most new player friendly game I’ve ever played. I’m almost lvl 700. I have all the things. I accept new players and old players just the same, and I’m the norm not the exception.
Catch it on sale and give it a try. You won’t be sorry.
bob_lemon@feddit.de 10 months ago
Should be. From what I’ve seen, the community is really chill. Although that might change at higher difficulties, never played those.
There is the occasional idiot, but they’re rare enough to just move on with another round.

The current fascination with skins and cosmetics is hilarious. It’s ridiculous that people continue to put money and time into a game mechanic that was already perfected with the catboy costume. If you’re playing a game and you aren’t using a free catboy costume, why are you even playing that game? Secondarily, your opinion is worthless, stop wasting drive space on my internet by posting it.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 10 months ago
You sound bitter. I bet you actually didn’t get the catboy costume. Loser.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
You dare doubt my enjoyment of stockings and midriffs? Do you even understand who you’re talking to?? If you EVER suggest that I am even NEUTRAL to programmer socks and midriffs, I will come down on you like the semiflaccid, freshly shaven hammer of Thor. You mark my FUCKING WORDS.
kromem@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t get it personally.
I mean, I understand the theory. I was even explaining that it would be the next big thing over a decade ago to executives, saying that for people with their community online that it was the equivalent of buying nice clothes in real life to impress.
But I’ve just never really had the desire to spend actual money on a skin in a game.
Though I guess if in real life you had a government provided selection of clothes for free and then additional clothes for more money I’d be pretty happy going with the free clothes and keeping my money too.
I’ve never been playing a game online and seen someone with an expensive skin and thought “man, that person must be cool.” I only think “man, there goes yet another sucker.”
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
You’ve described the situation in Africa, funny enough. It’s relatively rare in war-torn regions to actually purchase clothing due to the endless ambient supply. Relatedly, it’s common, given the obesity epidemic in the US, for clothing to be a few sizes too large. Clothing trade has been severely impacted by steady demand and infinite supply.
I considered purchasing skins when it first became on option but quickly realized that I just could not care a single iota less about my appearance past its utilitarian qualities.
I wear camouflage when it makes me more difficult to see in a shooter. I wear bright colors in platformers to track my movement more easily. I put on a skirt and cat ears when I’m looking to find people without sticks up their asses. I’d never pay for it, though. Buying skins seems childish and impulsive to me.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
FOMO. The answer is FOMO. buy the skin now, it won’t be here forever.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
me in the default skin, just having fun with the game because it’s actually a decent game: You have no power here.
vvvvv@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Most people don’t care, there’s just a small but sizable subset of people who spend a lot on this shit so here we are.
aulin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I play Elder Scrolls: Online. While I do sometimes buy outfits or mounts with “seals of endeavor” (rewards for just doing normal in-game stuff) it’s stuff that fits the style of the game and blends in. I will never get the fascination with mounts that roar super loud as they explode forth from the earth in a gigantic flash of red light and then glow continuously while in use; or the players spooked out like clowns in ridiculous outfits that, believe it or not, also glow in bright colors. It breaks immersion so much. I know it’s an MMO and it’s not the same as a single player game, but come on. Does stuff have to be so tacky?

The newer CoDs print your username above your head through smoke; you can’t really hide anymore.
Land_Strider@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This will be like a product placement, but I think it is very much on topic:
Hunt: Showdown is a great multiplayer game in that regard. It pushes a lot of skins, and skin sells are probably has high percentage of otherwise relatively cheap one-time purchase game.
Character or weapon skins had been also dirt cheap in TRY. USD costs are around 5-10 dollars without regular sales, so can be kinda pricey when you think about indie game prices, but probably in line with other micro-transaction multiplayer games. The skins themselves are totally immersive for the late 1800s Bayou shrouded in mystic, curse-riddled plot. All characters are either serious hunters, bounty hunters, farm hands, cowboy types, mystic shamans with job-related gear, female or male, with mostly good colour palette that makes them pretty close in camouflage quality.
Weapons have more of a flair to them, but still in accord with the world theme. Wood carves, metal engravings, sometimes cursed aberrations, in brown-black-faded white-faded yellow colors. Very unlike most other shooters, especially modern ones, that keep applying street graffiti art and neon lights to weapons.
Also no jump-spamming with zero recoil weapons. You jump to take small peaks to get info, or to try getting over some object that is not reasonable to climb or vault.
blazeknave@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I have almost 600 BG3 mods running. None are character dress up or anything like that.
FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Devs have nothing to do with that decision
can@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
$$$
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Worst part is you still need to download and install data for every unobtainable cosmetic ever made, bloating the game.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
It’s not devs, it’s the managers that tell the devs to build dumbass rules like that into the games
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Shouldn’t have went with a publisher. “Just following orders” is never valid.
doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Alright, sure, but anybody who chooses to work at places like Activision or Bethesda at this point knows exactly what they’re signing up for.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Yeah honestly fuck anyone making video games that have microtransactions, they should risk homelessness and destitution before they make a game where you have to pay for costumes
I for one would sooner die than contribute to a game with seasonal content
yata@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Devs are like that because publishers says they should do it. And publishers are like that because people keep buying and paying for all that shit. So in the end they are like that because of OP who contributes to the FOMO and wants to throw money at them for cosmetics.
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
God, you are so much better than OP. Always used the default costumes (humility); never opened a single lootbox, even the free ones—really just the best kind of person. I-I know this is a bit unusual to do in public (gosh, I’m nervous), but I just wanted to say: Thank you for your service.

Create FOMO for players so they continuously check in and play to unlock stuff so they never miss out on an opportunity

This comment made me mad at Destiny 2 again.

DesolateMood@lemm.ee 10 months ago
This is basically how I play Forza. Play a couple days to get my weeklys and then check in the next week

Are you playing then or are you just doing a todo list every week?
