Like when you look at the list of custom games, instead of just being weird and wonderful game modes and “chill no kill VC 18+” there was also “regular overwatch being played by regular people”

Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming DivisionEnglish5·4 days agoThey had the Kinect which (ignoring all the negative press surrounding it) fucking slapped, and could easily have been integrated with a VR headset for full-body VR.
They have Blizzard which im pretty sure means they can put WoW on xbox but don’t even seem to have started.
They’re positioned to have the greatest console of all time and they’re just fucking around instead. It’s maddening.
Its weird how annoying the battle pass system is. On the one hand I get it, they want that sweet battle pass money that everyone else is getting, and I don’t really care about cosmetics anyway.
On the other hand, I paid full price for 1, and was willing to pay for the PvE, and it feels like they just said “fuck you pay me” out of nowhere.
I really wish there were custom games where they just play like quick play. I do believe its one of the best games out if not for the players. You either meet Sweaty Eddie who’s on the mic telling you to kill yourself because he thinks youre not winning hard enough, or the guy who thinks the game is to stand there and spam “hello” and the dance emote at the enemy.
I very very rarely get a game where people are just playing the game and enjoying themselves.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojoEnglish10·9 days agoIm completely oblivious to any of the enshittification, but like any online game the fun is long gone for most people. Skill floor is way too high. As soon as you join a match youre completely outskilled by everybody and its clear youre nothing but a hindrance to your team.
Your opponents laugh at you and style as hard as they can and your teammates resent your existence, assuming they stick around long enough to make it clear.
Hyper-competitive games are fun for about 3 months and then youre either in or out.
Vandal Hearts on PS1. I think its probably not as good as I remember, but I was a small child and it said the word “Bastard” and that was the most adult media I’d been (unknowingly) allowed to consume. I played that game hard.
Im going to nominate one of these little guys
- That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion?English2·15 days agoMega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.
In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.
As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.
As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 25th3·1 month agoIm back to Balatro after losing all interest in it. Just got a couple more decks to unlock until I can decide I’ve completed it. I obviously never will (get gold tokens on all the jokers? Lolno) but it will feel like a good point to stop with no regrets.

Yermaw@lemm.eeto Gaming@beehaw.org•As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’4·1 month agoDid they fix borderlands 3 yet? It came on game pass and it turns out it’s impossible to play for more than 15 minutes without resetting the game and doing it from the last checkpoint. I won’t be playing 4 until I complete 3, and I won’t be completing 3 until it’s fixed.

Follow on question : would it be enjoyable (or even possible) just 2 players?
I only have one friend…
