stevedidWHAT

I wasn’t aware this was an Ubisoft game, I just saw Mario + rabbids and made a stupid assumption. Appreciate the info

Ah. This is the part I was missing, thank you!

Gee idk are they still developing excite bike or any other number of old games?

It’s obviously not that popular if people just aren’t buying it. Why Nintendo continues to pour into those game when abominations like Pokémon are still as bad as they’ve always been if not worse on next gen consoles.

You’re entitled to like what you want and that fine, I just don’t get why Nintendo won’t let it go

For how long tho.

Don’t understand why Nintendo won’t just let Rayman go

Oh please they couldn’t fucking handle moderation I don’t trust them to handle fucking money either.

Let it rot

For general news sure

For news in gaming, this is absolutely news.

This isn’t just some Joe Shmoe, this was an important individual within Bethesda and within their their games.

Yeah because everyone comes to lemmy or the games radar for their hard hitting political pieces 🙄🙄

Edit: y’all can keep downvoting if you wanna spend the time. Like it or not trying to downplay this from news is just outright incorrect. This is absolutely news for gaming, maybe not the world but it is for gamers.

So with that said, if you’re so annoyed by news you don’t care about, stop consuming it then. There’s a million and one ways to do this.

I’m sick and tired of the unjustifiable whining and corpo boot licking that’s going on around here. The game was yet another failure and the lead dev also chose to leave right after. I’ll give you a hint, most people leave their jobs because of management.

I see your point on that original verbiage - it was brief so it could be seen as dismissive of the good and sarcastic.

I’m unfortunately very familiar with Bethesda’s flavor of bugs and what’s common. However, after 20 years of making games, I had hope that they wouldn’t run into these anymore. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not another “no npc” launch like f76 had, but it’s still a common bug that feels as old as time at this point lol

Really it boils down to that $70 price tag for me and, if I’m being honest, Mr. Howard’s blame pushing onto the consumers and, most importantly, the fans of his game and their gaming hardware.

If they had released at $60 I probably wouldn’t have batted an eye - like I said I love Bethesda games with a passion. The fallout series is my all time favorite game series above all else - and I play a lot of variety.

I kinda wish they would charge half price for first game acess with the express intent of fixing the game. Maybe that means the game takes an extra year but so be it. I’d rather wait for better quality than poison the well (as in no man sky, if you botch that release and plan on making other games, people tend to ignore that game for a while)

You’re absolutely right on that second bit, my bad.

“Play nms instead” was also genuine, I have hundreds of hours in that game and they deserve attention for how much of a comeback they did, but I understand where you’re coming from.

However, that 3rd point I gotta push back on. Bugs are not subjective, neither is incomplete functionality.

Im gonna pass on the slinging mud comment, I think that was just an attempt to downplay my argument.

Lastly, you mean to tell me you’ve never walked into your ship and the crew mates are all standing on top of their seats glitched into the roof? You’ve never seen one npc or companion doing the stationary ghost walking animation?

If you honestly think the facial expressions are indiscernible from real facial expressions I think we can probably just stop this convo here as you’re very obviously not being honest or truthful with yourself, but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks for having a civil convo with me btw. I appreciate it more than you probably realize.

Of course I’m cool with your opinion, it’s what makes convos more interesting

To clarify “masterpiece” was in quotes to signify them having used that sort of verbiage and not as a mocking mechanism

Would you care to share some of these findings?

I personally haven’t completed the story yet, as I said that was a friend who had completed it in that timeframe. I’m working the hell out of side quests, I only just got the mission from the Russian dude in the space station for the main story but I’m deep into the crimson pirate faction line missions, amongst other side questions.

My point is that, yes they can pack in all this side content, but the majority of the games functionality is not finished, is broken, is widely disliked, or is just insanely mundane/formulaic

It’s a losing battle constantly putting out “new things” I can concede that, but don’t up the price tag or make such bold claims ya know what I mean? I played every Bethesda game since morrowind right up until the bs with fallout 76 (yes including doom and the like) I just don’t think they’re keeping up and I think they’re greedy.

That’s just how I see it based off these last few releases. (Come on man, you gotta at least admit the rigging and animations are pretty bad for a AAA title)

You did it again man

You generalized the frustrations to being only with the game industry.

It’s generalized frustration with being constantly ripped off, so because people are already feeling that, of course they’re going to speak up about specific instances.

And your last point, again, getting ripped off is a problem everyone deals with. Rich or poor. If seeing too many opinions is a problem to you, maybe you should get off the internet. Don’t try to make this someone else’s problem.

If you don’t want to hear everyone’s opinions, you don’t have to, but that doesn’t mean they’re invalid or somehow “not a real problem” because they don’t align with your lifestyle or opinions.

I think people are valid in their venting of frustrations.

This isn’t frustration entirely against this game or even just Bethesda. We’re humans, we’re complicated and have loooooots of things that influence our attitudes and behaviors.

The frustration you see is likely part of frustrations that are held with lots of commodities we seemingly pay more and more for and get less and less from.

It’s not just Bethesda, the frustration is much larger than that and to try and downplay that is just ignorant of peoples lives and the bigger picture itself (in my opinion of course)

I suspect you’re looking for correlations that aren’t even that accurate/reliable

No man sky wasn’t unplayable either

And it got SHIT on despite it being a small time company (hello games, maybe not exactly indie but definitely younger and less experienced than Bethesda assuredly)

Why is everyone so defensive of powerful giants?

Not to mention the fact that Bethesda (for their second release in a row) has the audacity to charge more for less gameplay. Sure it has promise, but don’t have the balls to charge me even more (I guess we’re all cool with $70 games now) for a game that took at least 6 years (if not more) to make that still drops with crazy and immersion breaking bugs ( I think that’s a fairly consistent feature we all look for in a game across the board)

No man’s sky similarly had a rough launch in terms of empty promises, bugs, lack of meaningful side content but ended up being recovered by another company and has been producing non stop updates, patches, and major updates ever since and has topped the leader board for most played games on the steam deck

I’m not bashing anyone else’s feelings on this topic, I personally just feel like this was way more empty than any of bethesdas other games like fallout 4.

Not to mention all the other games that were pushed off so they could work on their “masterpiece”

The facial rigging and animations are constantly bugged or straight up nightmarish (par for the course, shit happens, I’ll give it a pass)

Not to mention the settlement system which is somehow less than what the settlement system was in fallout 4 and 76.

And if this companion tells me to stop picking up junk one more time I’m putting her in the god damn air lock

Here’s a brief review

$70

Main story beaten comfortably in 20-30 hours.

Consensus: but no man sky instead

Could be fun you’ll never ever know until you at least give it a good solid few tries

Fuuuuuuuck yeeeeeaahh

Oh yeah that part is also whack as fuck haha. They do sometimes have different variants of a part that are for each facing combo (side+facing)

Another weird decision. You gotta wonder if they put some of these goofy ass features in on purpose so they can “fix” them later for cool kid points and to relieve themselves of some launch day pressure haha

It’s a pain at first fs. Yesterday was my first day fucking with it and spent a few hours fuckin around.

One shortcut I kinda pieces together was that same prices = same stats but the main thing is being able to see thrust, mass, and manufacture all of which are of course behind a mouse hover lol

I do have to say this feature in general is pretty cool. Love the ability to “figurine” my ship together. Space engineers has a similar mechanic for all vehicles but you gotta do it “Lego” style and do it literally brick by brick which can be unnecessarily tedious.

This mod is so fucking nice to have. There’s a couple minor uninpacting bugs but it’s a huge improvement imo.

I’d love if the dev ended up making something similar for the ship builder. I wanna see manufacturer, mass etc on one screen.

Why they fuck did they think it was a good idea not to let out the stats you actually need to know for your ship considering the complexity of building a ship. Why would we want to have to hover over wax item and go back and forth a billion times? Is this where they get their game time calculations from?
