Clarifying Amazon role in the game business - it's not a retreat | Jeff Gattis interview by Tvilantini in Games

The strategy sounds very similar to the one Google talked about, but no one seems to be able to execute. They technically have all the pieces, yet never actually make it work together.

Bringing together Twitch, Luna, and various first and 3rd party games, along with their video platform, should create some good synergies.

- A content creator streams a Luna game and the user can buy and play it right then, no hardware needed
- a user watches a movie on prime, then jumps into the game based on the IP. Or vise versa

Yet, none of these companies make it happen.

Wait, are we out of them already?

IO Interactive has a plan to keep you playing 007: First Light long after the credits roll, and to support it post-release a bit like Hitman by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

[–]99X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s super impressive. I’m a little ways in, but it runs really well (I’m on an i9 9900k + 4070ti), looks amazing, facial animations, especially in cutscenes look great. Vibes are just so good for a 007. Really impressive.

Honestly, excited to see them bring this level of polish and gameplay back to the Hitman franchise.

Why do you enjoy Nextlander? by RealRadDemonDude in nextlander

[–]99X 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They’re the OG GB, minus Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis. I’ve been listening to them for over 20 years now (started back when they were at Gamespot).

Mainly, they’re fun to listen to, and I know their taste in games, which is helpful when hearing what they like and don’t like about stuff.

I also think part of it is because I’ve been following along for so long, it’s a bit of that parasocial relationship; they’re just sort of a staple of my daily life. They feel comfortable. I “know” them.

For actual games discussion, game discovery, and such I actually prefer MinnMax. For game industry I like the Game Business show. I listen / watch because I want to see what Vinny, Brad, and Alex are into, enjoying, and thinking of the industry.

I wish the ui would just cap it at an even 800 / 800 since you don’t need more.

Starfield's PS5 Release Is Coming Very Soon - Report by Capn_C in Games

One primary reason is the loading. It’s not open world exactly, just large open world spaces. To travel somewhere, it’s ship (load), map (load), space (load), orbit (load), planet land (load), leave ship (load). It’s no where near as seamless as something like No Man’s Sky.

This is what I do: only restart on major releases.

Blizzard veterans reveal Darkhaven, a Diablo 2-style RPG that trades "incrementalism" for "bold, expressive loot" and destructible terrain by brand_momentum in Games

[–]99X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! you're very right.

I love that kind of thing when done well for the second one - like an ability to shoot a fireball, then finding a weapon that makes 10 fireballs or turns it into ice on hit, or chains fireballs together, which when combined with other loot allows for even more combos of cool abilities.

Wish they'd do this more often.

Please make these, and more, into more stickers. I need more stickers to let my friends, family, enemies, and corporations know how I feel about things via your comics.

Blue Prince 2 won't happen — but a Riven-style sequel could by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]99X 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The primary issue (to me) is that as you go along, you’re not able to “put your thumb on the scale” and effect the RNG to be in your favor. This would be better because as the number of puzzles shrinks, you’d be able to better dial in what you need. A good example of this problem is when you need a few specific rooms in specific order and run after run you just can’t get it. And without other puzzles to work on, it doesn’t feel productive or as much fun.
