I have been under the weather, so haven't played much.

Still in the 2nd last area of Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains, the story took some weird turn. Everyone is going along with it though, so hopefully they will explain it later.


Dropped Tom Clancy's The Division. My friends, with whom I started this game, dropped it a while ago, I wanted to complete it, but got tired of the grind, and then dying from the boss again and again.

At higher level, you die very easily, and enemies keep getting spongier, which means when playing alone, if you have to change cover during a boss fight it's very easy to die. That combined with not feeling well, just annoyed me too much so decided to quit.


No updates on Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Pokémon Pokopia this week.

Played Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Made some progress, cleared a major area, Now in the second last area, though the last area is supposed to be pretty big, so there's still some game left.


Also played lots of Tom Clancy's The Division. Leveled up a couple of times, plan to do the next main quest this weekend and continue cleaning up the side stuff.


Started Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, it's a fun 3D platformer, though sometimes aiming can be a bit annoying. It doesn't matter most of the time, but had some trouble because of that during a boss fight, as you have to paint specific parts of the boss.

Other than that, game feels polished, and some design elements feel a bit dated, but overall it still feels fun. It could be my nostalgia speaking though.


No Pokémon Pokopia this week. Will start getting back to doing little stuff here and there this week.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Didn't play much this week. Just a bit of Pokémon Pokopia and Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. No significant progress in either of them.


No Tom Clancy's The Division this week, but there shouldn't be much stuff left in main campaign so will try to focus on it a bit to finish it soon.


Have been thinking about starting Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed on PS this weekend. Got it as a PS+ game recently and it has been on my wishlist for a while, not to mention my nostalgia for Mickey Mouse. Depends on how much play time I get this weekend though.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I believe so, except in review build it was a minor who was riding it, and we don't know what else was there in the "interactive dialogue sequence"

I came in to read what caused Valve's fall from grace, but nope, still the good guy.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

As a dev (but not a game dev), this can be either good or bad, depending on how the team is grouped, and what their development flow is.

Half new devs means, half of them are veterans, which would also include team leads and the managers, who will plan, review and test whatever those devs are doing, so if their workflow is solid, other than some slowdown in development speed, it shouldn't cause much issue.

But arguing over whether or not you should use this engine or that engine, the engine is in service to the game. Is the game good? I don’t care what the engine is. The game’s good! Let’s play the game.

That's the problem, the games aren't good anymore!

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 67 points 2 years ago

I think we should just forget the game exists. One day they will announce it, but until them, let's just assume there is no Silksong, and Team Cherry is just taking a long long vacation.

Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that's the target audience.

Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won't mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

According to a comment on another post on lemmy. The takedown notice is fake, probably sent by some troll. Garry's Mod is still removing stuff though, because they think it's real.

That saves us from all the rumours of Switch 2 getting announced at Gamescom this year.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Don't know what engine they used for STS, but apparently they were making STS 2 on Unity:

At the time, it said it'd made much of Slay the Spire II in Unity, but would still migrate to a different engine if Unity stuck to its guns.

I don't know why everyone is so angry at this comment. The question was about what will it take for subscriptions to increase and become dominant in industry, the guy answered that. The interview was with the guy about Ubisoft's subscription service, what else people expected?

If anyone talks to the guy in-charge of Gamepass, and they ask them how will gamepass increase, they wont' say, well, if everyone keeps buying physical, that will be great for us.

I don't know about Xbox, but drift issue is pretty common in PS5 controller too, and I recall reading that all companies uses sticks from same manufacturer.

Everyone online sings praises of 'Hall-effect' sticks, but no one (Sony / MS / Nintendo) is currently using them, probably because of higher cost.

If this works, this will probably solve the issue for Nintendo at least.

Well, as pretty much the biggest instance, it provides the best data for load-testing. 🫣
