Unfortunately, patent trolling means they won’t become mainstream. Companies have to pay to add paddles, so they won’t unless it’s part of a more expensive controller offering.
I was on reddit once, but now I’m not.
I’m also gk99@kbin.social and gk99@mastodon.world

About time. There was no reason this should’ve taken this long. What’s with companies needing to take legal action on fans fixing their games before they decide to do it themselves? At least it’s happening, the more older games we have on newer platforms, the better.
I quit playing when they started sunsetting planets,
I vowed never to spend another dime on Bungie products until they give me back the $60 campaign I paid for.
I don’t know how this game is still going after they consistently make unpopular decisions that turn people away. Maybe being dumbstruck by that is why Sony bought them.
Edit: Like I straight-up paid them full game price only to be treated like an F2P player because they’re apparently incapable of doing what 343 did with all of their older games in the MCC and allowing players to install specific parts of content. I’m still annoyed that I’m being punished for their incompetence.
Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it’s not going to stop just because bots can’t get in automatically anymore.
No, I can almost guarantee you, without doing any research into these, that I would strongly prefer my Steelseries Arctis Pro Nova wireless headphones. A few years back, my dream headset was the Arctis Pro Wireless but with better adjustability for my apparently large head, and after years of dIcking around with the HyperX Cloud II Wireless and getting tired of it constantly cutting out, I went looking and found that Steelseries had made just that (and this time with ANC).
If Noctua made a booster pack for my headphones, I’d buy that, though.
This wouldn’t go in either
Especially since they thought selling all their western franchises off at bargain bin prices to go all-in on NFTs was a good idea, and they’ve been pushing them to date despite continued unpopularity. Decisions like that aren’t just out of touch, they’re downright stupid.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up bought by Sony, considering their working relationship and poor leadership. Hell, I never bought FFVII Remake despite really enjoying FFXV, my first FF title, because of their business dealings. It was PS4 exclusive and I didn’t wanna play it at 1080p 30 FPS on my near-launch console at the time. I knew it was temporary and coming to PC eventually, so I waited. This was followed by being Epic exclusive and the first $70 PC title, so I waited for a launch literally anywhere else and a sale. Eventually that happened with a Steam launch, woo-hoo, except by that point I didn’t care as much as I did at launch and they had already given me the game as a PS+ title. Didn’t really feel like buying it when I already had access, didn’t ever even end up playing it, and now I have Intergrade’s PS5 version as part of PS+ Extra these days for when I get around to it. In my eyes, they’re kinda just standing in the way of their own sales in favor of taking whatever cash these companies are willing to offer them. I didn’t buy FFXVI either, because I still have VII RI in my backlog from all that shit.
Realtalk, once Hytale drops I’m probably dropping Minecraft. It’s everything I want them to add but without me having 13 years of experience with the game. Something new with QOL and easy modding sounds great.
The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.
I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.
If I need photos printed, I’ll go to a shop. It doesn’t happen that often and, frankly, inkjets suck so badly that I honestly doubt I’d save time or money owning one. All the headaches I’ve dealt with just trying to print basic stuff like shipping labels and documents disappeared the moment I bought a Brother laser printer.
After years of defending Xbox’s value with Gamepass and backwards compatibility and everything, I’m kinda over it now. PlayStation has caught up in a lot of regards and all I find myself really wanting is PS3 backwards compatibility and an improved PS1/2 Classics catalogue. I don’t even care that PS+ Extra doesn’t have day one exclusives, because it doesn’t matter when Xbox’s titles are all critically flawed in some way.
It’s kinda at the point where PlayStation still lacks in some regards, but it’s close enough that it’s no longer putting up with Microsoft’s inability to produce par content while simultaneously increasing the price of their service (which, might I add, PS+ Premium has been cheaper than since launch).
Yeah, Vanguard was horrible with the cosmetics, but MWII is going way off the rails. The Boys characters, FIFA stars, and Nicki Minaj.
This once again confirms that there is no reason we shouldn’t be able to use our skins in all Warzone-connected games. The idea of thematic consistency is a sham and I should be able to use whatever characters I damn well please. This is explicitly why I refuse to buy any microtransactions for these games. Outside of BOCW, Warzone Clash was some of the most fun I’ve ever had because it was just raw TDM chaos with characters and guns from every game, it was super fun.
And it’s gone, because live service.
Not true at all, platformers thrive on PC in part because we have a lot of indie promotion and loads of platformers come from indie devs.
Consider:
It just doesn’t make sense to buy for a lot of people. We’re beyond the phase of buying games just so Sony keeps putting them out, and in the phase of ignoring bad values. I’m a PC gamer myself, but I’m playing a whole bunch of games on PS5 right now because they’re included with PS+ Extra/Premium and I’m price-sensitive.
In which case yes there’s a high likelihood of a PC port six months to a year from the launch date. Square Enix has a history of terrible, short-sighted deals, but they’d have to be especially stupid or Sony would have to be exceptionally loaded to get them to never launch FF16 on PC.
Sure, but we have a huge chunk of the country inhabited mostly by tumbleweeds and people with less-than-awesome education. Plus, the concept of Area 51 has been around so long and has been so prolific it’s been constantly referenced in the mainstream, from Scooby-Doo to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
Can someone explain the economics of Tencent to me? Rather than, say, publish studios’ games like many American companies would, it seems they almost exclusively just buy chunks of these studios instead. They long ago invested in Epic when they were transitioning to live service games, they acquired Riot (and eventually Hytale in turn), they’ve got some share buy-back deal with Ubisoft, they just picked up Sumo Digital recently, there’s this now, and probably some other stuff I’m forgetting. It’s never “oh Tencent will be publishing Dying Light 3.”
In this case, I think it defeats the point if you give people an impression of what it’ll be before they click it. Kinda strips it of the humor.
Asphalt 9, I both love and hate it. It’s super fun and reminiscent of some older arcade racers, but holy fuck the monetization is trash. You can tell it’s a mobile game when I can’t progress anymore because my car has a 4 hour timer on it before it can be used again and the alternatives are in loot boxes.
I just figured it’d be something interesting to grind for achievements so I don’t mind that much but I can’t imagine being a hardcore player of the game.
Glad to see you guys off lemmy.ml, I avoid that instance in general because of the admins’ “the Uyghur genocide is western propaganda” views that they enforce with “orientalism” bans. Happy to sub now that you’re over here.
This is perfect timing for me, actually. I’ve been maining Xbox for a while, but all the changes they just made to their subscriptions blow hard enough that I’m most likely going back to my PlayStation and getting PS+ Extra.
Don’t worry, they’re complaining about poor sales and this is Square Enix so they will almost assuredly double down on the issues causing those poor sales.
