Whiny nerds who haven't read a new book in over two decades shed tears over the fact their boring-ass game sucks and is getting swirlied in the toilet bowl by actual cool games

isn't it just like a once-and-done single player game? of course other newer games are gonna overtake it

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

By, like, C-list devs iirc. Not exactly AAA title material, even with the IP.

How you gonna diss the Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour devs that way?

Remember all the streamers throwing a fit about how they had to play it even if it meant shoveling more money at a transphobe because it was the biggest game of the year (in February lol)

BG3 is unmatchable, not only for hogwarts legacy but for every other game.

Starfield on the other end.. is the same oblivion stuff but in 2023 and without 2023 capabilities

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

from what i head the systems are worse than a bunch of their own previous work let alone contemporary products. maybe someday i'll play more than 10 minutes and find out for myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty much. Bet if they re-released oblivion, prior to BG3, it'd still roflstomp horkboris legacy

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

and without 2023 capabilities

They've gotta rewrite the engine from the ground up if they want to bring it up to modern standards. There are fundamental problems with it at its core that can't be resolved without a rewrite that addresses limiting decisions that were made with its overall design a very very long time ago.

I'm waiting for the modding community to overhaul Starfield in 1 - 3 years before I'll even touch it.

BG3 is a blast and I can't get enough. It's the first game I've played that's felt like I'm a part of a fantasy novel. IMO it's because unlike a lot of other CRPG's it's really good about pacing out it's lore and not info dumping all over the player.

I'll still hold some interest on the next TES game exactly because of this.

But for starfield based on the reviews I've seen the issues are pretty much fundamental to the game as designed, e.g exploration limitations doesn't seem like something that can be easily modded so I'm not holding any hopes that mods will fix this.

I remember around the time of the HP game release chuds were rallying around it to own the libs or whatever.

I'm glad that the HP game is going to be forgotten in favor of two games that let you choose pronouns, one of which lets you choose a penis or vulva.

Even before release, Hogwarts Legacy looked like an extremely by the numbers TrIpLe A game by some developers who'd never made anything good. It was totally carried by the license and being released at a quiet time for big bideo bames, no wonder even the biggest Rowling fart hufflepuffers don't care about it anymore

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

If it's any consolation to the HP libs, your game got an all-time concurrent player peak of 879,308 while BG3 only got 875,343. But also the games this year are stacked and Harry Potter sucks, so get owned. screm-cool

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

You just reminded me that I need to hop back on BG3. im-doing-my-part

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Still on my first playthrough and I want to do several more eventually. 😭

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Same! I'm barely out of the nautiloid wreckage, and already having a blast.

It's wild to get angry over pronouns in SF materials, in particular. If I'm reading some spacefarring material and there isn't at least one alien race or human being bucking a gender binary, I'll be dissapointed as hell.

Why would one get mad that some people enjoy another game more than they enjoy the game one enjoys more than the game they enjoy more?

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I asked myself the same thing. If you enjoy your slop, what do you care about what the other piggies eat?

I would simply not attach my personality into triple A by the numbers garbage made from the IP of Terf-Queen. gigachad-hd
