Unreal is older than their engine no? And everyone uses that...so what does this even mean?

The difference is that Epic barely makes games. They have their Fortnite which they can put in some minor effort to keep the money flowing and otherwise they can focus on the engine. Maybe with MS now being behind Bethesda they can also put in more work into their engine...maybe. We'll see.

He's kinda right though. You are partially too, the game doesn't run great but it runs fine. Definitely not dogshit. Hogwarts ran way worse for what it was with similar performance but also tons of stuttering on the best setups not to mention lots of crashing in multiple big AAA games this year. Starfield afaik has none of that, it just has lower than expected FPS but not terribly so.

Well Nintendo has a shitton of tribalism considering how anti consumer they are in general. Fromsoft just has a lot of good reputation...justifiably so

That is always the meta with new and popular AAA games. Especially since PS players are salty MS denied them the game there's even more salt and a lot of tribalism hehe.

Holy shit this thread is a good example of why Lemmy is quite far from mainstream still. The army form one instance is strong here, quite fascinating and amusing to read.

The US really isnt much better than China.

The world ain't just good or bad and there's various degrees of "bad". The fact that many US people can even talk about this stuff makes them already just ever so slightly better for many outsiders. This is how it is, neither country is "good" but they align more with western ideals than an authoritarian state which for many of us is bad by default...which it is of course. :)

To be expected. I like it but it's still quite an immature platform overall. There's lots to be done to make it easier for an average user.

Lemmy pretty much just needs tags. Like you can mark your different "technology" communities with the tag "technology" and a user can subscribe to this tag to view all posts from whatever communities have this tag (and they don't have to call themselves strictly just "technology")

Something like that I would imagine so no direct interaction between communities required.

If the games are F2P...sure.

Yet here we are. Look at for example WoW of FF14. Full price expansions, monthly sub AND ingame cash shop. Ridiculous.

[–] Stahlreck@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago

A full price game should just not have MTX at all. No matter if they're cosmetic or not. I pay upfront and want the full game that includes cosmetics that I wanna earn within the game. Cosmetic MTX are acceptable in F2P games only. This deluxe edition seems like some stuff that isn't even part of the game.

This isn't "gamers". It affects pretty much everything for everyone. People these days have no backbone anymore. Everything just has to be easy and convenient and going against greedy practices is not convenient so companies can push the limits.

Sorry, I don't want it to sound like that. He can take a break whenever he wants but for me as a user I simply used his app, found it very good but over time it broke and when I checked out the sub I just saw that many people pointed to this and also that it has "happened before". I can't comment on all the drama that has happened with that community, I don't know. No biggie for me but I also kinda don't wanna deal with this and switching software too much. I started to look elsewhere because the Reddit app was breaking and there was no sign when the dev would come back and I landed on Infinity. So I will give that one a try too, see how these apps go and decide later on where I stay.

Also, I don't want to downplay it because it is still serious but you get death threats for everything on the internet. I've literally yet to see any drama no matter how big or small where this apparently wasn't the case. It's sad.
