That’s exactly what arbitrary is. It’s not for a good reason, it’s so they can push bullshit later. The limitations were chosen arbitrarily because they’re not real limitations, they’re entirely imposed by a Microsoft for their own ends. A non-arbitrary limitation is like minimum graphics card requirements for a game - won’t run without it. What do you think arbitrary means?

They’re not trying to get me to upgrade my OS, they’re trying to get me to buy a whole new fucking system for no good reason. Every last one of them can die in a fire.
And that’s before we consider that Windows 11 is actually a downgrade.

Computer RPG Games@lemmy.world•What niche RPGs are you particularly fond of? Can be a newer game or an older RPG that never became a cult classic.English
4·6 months agoWrath of the Righteous drops the kingdom management in favour of army management. It takes less time, but is by far and away less satisfying. Outside of that, Wrath is better than Kingmaker I think, but they’re both excellent.
In Wrath you can literally be a lich with control of an entire city of reanimated corpses. You can reanimate important side characters as your undead servants. And that’s just one of the mythic paths available. You can also be a sentient swarm of locusts. Yes really.
I know what you mean though, they’re very long and hard to finish - might be all the reading. Owlcat are old school and, especially since Baldurs Gate 3, their games feel feel dated because of it.

2·6 months agoYou’re missing the point. The return isn’t going to go to tax payers, it’s going to go to rich people, so it’s not a return, it’s just paying rich people who weren’t even involved. Enriching the rich like everything else the republicans do.

211·6 months agoYes. Of course. Because that’s what will happen, that money will go into improving services for the public rather than being funnelled into a rich pricks pockets. Totally what will happen, no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Bungie won’t say how much Marathon will cost, but it will be a ‘premium title’English
61·10 months agoWhat a manipulative headline. By premium, they mean it won’t be free to play, and leaving the fact that they also said it won’t be full priced out of the headline makes it clickbait. Fuck that awful website.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Game price isn't the problem, wages areEnglish
241·10 months agoSingle player campaigns are literally the best type of games. Fomo bullshit, constant nagging to buy stuff, and relying on internet dickheads for the experience and hoping they won’t just grief or insult everyone the whole time is awful.
I actually didn’t mention my preference of web browser, I just commented on how obviously stupid you were being due to your being unable to decipher pretty simple comments. Interesting assumption to make though.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•EA CEO Claims Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Due To Lack Of Live Service ElementsEnglish
4·1 year agoYou sound like a fucking CEO.
“We ruined this whole game from the beginning by making this single player franchise into a live service and changed our mind half way through, so what we have is a poorly written story with bad characterisation, tokenism, generic combat that always feels exactly the same regardless of how you approach a fight and only three skills to equip for the whole damn game. Obviously nobody likes it because nobody cares about dragon age.”

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Dying Light is getting a free graphical update, plus Dying Light 2 will get a new game modeEnglish
3·1 year agoI remember the first time I found the woman with the crossbow, her model didn’t render during the cutscenes. I was assaulted and talking to a floating crossbow. It was definitely buggy.
The sequel’s issues were more down to a change in focus and tone though. The story in both is pretty generic, but I at least enjoyed the focus being the zombies in the first - that first night mission when you first see volatiles after destroying the antizin is terrifying. Finding the special zombies through story missions were always horrific enough. Night time in 2 was just fun run time.
The ignored cliffhanger from 1 was the zombies seemingly organising and communicating towards the end. That would’ve been more interesting than another zombified dude and humans are the real threat and all that. I just wish they stuck with the horror tone.


No, they claim it is for a good reason to excuse it so they can get away with all the stuff they want later whilst hopefully (from their perspective) making more profit now. It’s the thin end of a wedge.
Stop defending corporations for anti-consumer behaviour. You do realise that YOU are a consumer as well, right?
