- Comment on FFVII Revelation Director Insists S-E Had No Choice but to Require a Download to Play the Physical Disc Version 23 hours ago:
Fair point, that is an upside. But it still feels like it has all the other downsides of both formats. They can take it away whenever they want because the full game isn’t on disc, and it required all the plastic and shipping to move a physical product without all of the product actually on disc anyway.

“First and foremost, personally, I’m very happy that we are able to release a physical disc version of FFVII Revelation considering how the entire gaming market, or the landscape, is veering towards the disc-less direction,”
Except… this might as well not be a physical disc version. It’s like, the worst of both worlds.

Hm when was the last time you played? I don’t think it’s been like that for a few years now, when they had the last major multiplayer overhaul with the addition of a hub.

If you genuinely haven’t it played it since it first released, you are barely even going to recognize the game. It’s changed significantly enough that it could practically be a sequel by now.

My partner and I have hundreds of hours in co op so I’m not sure what bugginess you might mean, but it’s very playable in co op.

I didn’t say that it does, nor was that really supposed to be the take away from my comment.

There is a plot you can follow, but it’s not exactly a game known for its memorable plot. Like many other survival crafting games, the “what” you’re supposed to do is kind of up to you and your own creativity. It’s not for everyone, certainly.

I haven’t played in a few months, but my partner and I have a few hundred hours in co op. What did you find janky?

A Nintendo game and a remake, Lemmy should love this! /s

There’s also a dedicated jump button and some other control changes. I have to imagine that will also mean some slight changes to puzzles and stuff that could have otherwise been solved by a dedicated jump button. Unless it will just not work the way I’m imagining it would.

I grew up in the 90s and absolute adored my N64. OoT was my jam. Still my favourite Zelda game, though some others have come close.
Saying any N64 game except maybe Super Mario 64 has aged “great” is… a take, certainly. There’s some very strongly rose-tinted nostalgia glasses on a lot of people, I think. And I’m not even just talking about the graphics. The polygons of the N64 era will always have a certain charm, for me. But my gods, but controls and the QoL features in general were not quite there yet in that era.
Goldeneye is another game that I think people mostly remember so fondly because of how they felt when they played it back then. Try playing it again today, after experiencing modern FPS QoL improvements, and uh… it’s not great.
Revolutionary, cutting-edge games for their time, but they have not aged well imho.

I would not dismiss their influence so cavalierly. The shift right among male youth is very concerning and real.

Aren’t they kind of just being honest about what all websites do anyway? Hell, most places you pay for are still tracking you and selling your data, so frankly this may be an upgrade over other services.

I saw their statement basically disowning the affair, but didn’t see they are actually suing. Do you have a source?

The link is to an IGN article, just in case there is any confusion, not the website itself.

- Comment on Upcoming Changes to XBOX Cloud Gaming [time limits] 1 week ago:
You’ve got some rose coloured nastalgia glasses on, methinks. Games were not always polished to a shine, and they certainly were not bug free. Watch any speedrun of retro games of you think that’s true.
Updates allow for improvements over time. I think that post release updates for games have been way more of a pro than a con in the grand scheme.
My much bigger issue is server side connections being required for things.

You reading it that way does not mean the OP made a mistake. Pitchers are struck by hit pitches with some degree of regularity.
- Comment on How hard/fast would a baseball have to go to completely pass through a pitcher? Like leave a hole through flesh? 1 week ago:
What was OP’s mistake?
Unless it has been edited to be more clear, the question (complete with “pass through a pitcher") makes sense as it is written.

- Comment on Day 773 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
I’d say gaming is my #1 hobby and has been for 20+ years and I still don’t think I’ve ever played video games for 773 straight days, let alone found the time to post about it every day. So, in a very genuine way, I have the same questions as the original commenter.
- Comment on The Grand Ambitions of Grand Theft Auto VI 1 week ago:
Lemmy in general seems to really hate GTA, I agree. I think there’s probably a variety of reasons for that.
As for me, I gathered from the extended preview that it looks like they took parts of GTA San Andreas, IV, V, and RDR2 and combined them, then fleshed out some of the systems even deeper. It really seems like it’s going for a lot of immersive elements.
Honestly, it looks incredible to me. I think the people saying it looks like GTA V are nuts. It’s a shame that I’m boycotting it, because I’d probably love it.
