Not only stupid in general but extremely stupid considering Rockstar already made it clear they don’t like 3rd party mods when they were taking down GTA RP servers.

It’s basically Minecraft but with a bigger focus on RPG elements, exploration, and combat. It’s a safe bet that if you like MC you’ll enjoy this.

Worked for me just now.

Definitely worth waiting for reviews, but I’m sure they’ll come out soon.

FWIW all mtx will be cosmetics only, with the good news that there’s no restrictions on mods changing how you look. Their EULA also disallows any pay-to-win mtx in servers similar to Minecraft.

The lead dev backtracked on paid mods (at least for now), saying he’s looking into having quick access to donating instead. I wouldn’t say it’s anything near Roblox territory.

Their refund policy allows refunds if bought in less than 14 days and played less than 4 hours: https://support.hytale.com/hc/en-us/articles/45119888587163-Refund-Policy-and-Available-Payment-Methods

Yeah nobody in this thread went past the title, but that’s literally not what he said.

He actually said that demanding X remove AI features is gatekeeping since competitors get to keep them, which is still a dumb take but very very far from “Tim Sweeny loves child porn”…

Literally this meme again

So many games have like ~10-15 seconds of unskippable logos whenever you open the game and it pisses me off every single time. I don’t understand why they still do this.

Pretty clever and surprisingly difficult, I was stuck on Bruce for the longest time.

Nor does Valve, since Arc Raiders was in the category.

Valve doesn’t decide anything, the whole Steam awards are voted by the community. It’s a popularity contest.

“Somehow, Heihachi returned…”

I very very rarely pre-order but if reviews are out and you’re already planning on buying it, it could be worth it. Some stores provide a discount for pre-ordering games, I got Elden Ring for 15% off before it even released which is nice.

There’s !nomanssky@lemmy.world but it’s not super active. You’re bound to find some fans in the general gaming communities like this one though.

I’m new to Lemmy BTW.

Welcome!

Loved the game, but… we don’t talk about that cow scene…

didn’t like aw so skipped aw2 until my library has a free copy

Alan Wake 2 has a DLC that ties in pretty heavily with Control, so you’ll definitely want to play that before the new game comes out.

Added Abandon Battle option in the pause menu which can now be opened in battle

Finally. No more waiting around to die to reset the fight when you mess up.

I guess I’m confused because I didn’t know that “low budget” was now synonymous with “indie.”

There aren’t any hard rules of what an indie game is, and TGA don’t set any because they don’t take their jobs seriously, but it’s usually accepted that indie = small teams, small budget. Otherwise, technically games like Cyberpunk 2077 are “indie” because they’re self-published, while games published by Devolver Digital are technically not indie because they have a publisher despite the games being made on a tiny budget and occasionally created by only one person.

Expedition 33 had a huge budget compared to other games in its category, and much more developers. They had mo-cap, they had popular voice actors, and they had tons of contract workers overseas. It’s not fair to put it up against games that didn’t have any of that.

E33 is what the industry refers to as a AA game. Mid-sized budget, mid-sized team. As opposed to AAA, massive budgets with massive teams.

What about No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky (on release) is way smaller in scope than E33. It was made by around a dozen developers only, and they actually self-published it which makes it much more “indie”.

Ehhh, I dunno. I’m hoping this franchise evolves in some way because this looks like more Megaman 11, which was just more old-school Megaman. There have been way too many 2D platformer games in the franchise if you look at it, and not much has changed since Megaman X.

Bring back Megaman Legends or something!

I guess we’re DMC now. I loved Control and AW2, but the gameplay for both was so-so. Glad to see they’re branching out, this looks awesome.
