Sounds basically what gacha games in Asia already do with pull rate percentages, no? But with the monetary value of their ingame currencies.

Problem with that is that WB likely owns the IP that they were working on and creating while they were owned or working under a studio owned by WB. WB owns all that work that these developers could have kept for their new studio if they had formed one. Now they have to start over again, meaning all that time they worked on it was wasted. They can't use it, and WB sure isn't going to.

If they knew that WB wouldn't like it but still did it anyway, thats honestly on them. They were under WB, they gotta follow their rules. If you want to.make your own thing, dont be owned by a parent company. Leave and make your own studio. Don't waste your time for years just to leave in the end, thats stupid.

As a fan of all those games, Monoliths only really good legacy game is FEAR. While NOLF and Shogo are fun, they're extremely buggy, and the jank is not easy to ignore.

FEAR is still buggy, but its got way less than their other legacy titles.

Digital Foundry are nowhere near any better than TI, if that is your implication. If you think TI doesn't know what they're talking about, then youre in for a world of pain learning what DF doesnt know. In their early years, like pre- RTX 20XX GPU release, they were pretty good. Seemed knowledgable. But now its pretty clear they get paid to shill products instead of talk about actual problems. I mean, they are owned by IGN now.

DF loves to talk about DLSS and TAA being good for gaming (LOL) and then they show video clips and its all just CyberPunk 2077 with little to no camera movement. Curated clips to specifically NOT showcase most of the problems of TAA and DLSS. TAA and DLSS specifically suffer with mdeium to fast camera movement, and they should show clips of this to demonstrate any "improvement." However, this would be damaging to their business partners, so they will never do that.

DF compared Anthem on PS4 and Xbox One X, complaining that the Xbox version ran at a lower framerate, except they failed to mention (probably because they didnt know) that the PS4 version runs at 1080p and the Xbox version runs at 4K.

They have often shown "gameplay" footage of a specific platform, and then the footage literally shows input prompts for a completely different platform. (Darksiders III "Switch" gameplay showing PlayStation Circle button prompts, for example).

They actually said the phrase "smooth 30fps." I am not kidding. Nothing about 30fps is smooth unless you are comparing it to a framerate below 30fps.

Digital Foundry puts out videos that contain entirely wrong information. Like when Digital Foundry said that RedOut on Xbox One X only runs at a fixed 1080p resolution, which was so wrong the actual developers of the game actually had to tell Digital Foundry how wrong they are.

They are the UserBenchmark of TechTubers.

Whether you like or don't like Threat Interactive, I don't care. I dont really like his attitude, personally. But Digital Foundry is worse, and everyone should unsubscribe from them.

This is a pretty cool looking feature, but how does it work? Can it be modified to integrate with platforms other than Reddit easily? How does it determine priority for different communities?

If I was on Reddit and subscribed to r/anime, how would this feature determine which instance community to subscribe to? If there were multiple c/anime, one on Lemmy.world and one on ani.social, for example, does it make me pick? Does it pick the one with the most subscribers? The one with the most activity?

That links to a Reddit associated Youtube channel, from the subreddit r/FuckTAA. Here are some of the latest top comments, they speak for themselves:

Please, Unsubscribe from Digital Foundry.

How fun the game was at the cost of a credit.

If the game was not fun enough to justify spending the nickel/quarter to play, then it was a bad game.

The really good games were known in my area as the "quarter guzzlers." Because they were extremely fun, but still hard, meaning you wanted to keep playing at the cost of the quarter or credit per play. And you'd end up dumping multiple dollars into the machine before you knew it.

I know this looks pro-consumer, but coming from Nintendo I just knew it was anti-consumer.

With this, I expect that the DRM will be more restrictive, meaning you can no longer install the game onto multiple consoles anymore. Currently, the game can be launched and it performs an online check to make sure you can actually run the game, but you can bypass that by just turning off internet connectivity on your "primary" Switch.

This is a direct removal of that. This is also a good example of why buying physical is still better than buying digital, as not only are the prices often lower especially with time and store sales, but also you ar enot limited to only two weeks of lending.

PrimeHack.

Exactly what I said would happen. Disgusting.

And I am not sure which is more disgusting, the news, or the paywall and ad diarrhea on Bloomberg.

How it feels to play as Killer in Dead By Daylight, win, and then the loser Survivors tell you in the end game chat to "get better" and that "you are trash at the game."

Its not really all that Trek feeling, but I like Star Trek Invasion, for the PSX. Developed by a lot of the same guys that made Colony Wars, also on PSX. Its a space flight simulator, similar to the likes of Wing Commander and Star Wars Tie Fighter.

Not sure I like the idea of a games development studio / publisher owning a media outlet. Seems like a massive conflict of interest.

When Dead By Daylights matchmaking system prioritizes getting you into a match faster instead of getting you into a balanced match, and matches you with less than 100 hours of playtime as Killer into an "Unemployment Lobby" of a 4 goblin pre-made with 50k combined hours ready to bully you for 55 minutes:

(Ask me how I know this lol)

Its PCGamer. What do you expect?

Honestly, its better multiplayer. If the host owns the DLC, everyone else can play with that content enabled in the session.

The only downside is the endgame slowdown, and if you get a Min-Maxer in your group it will kill all the fun since the AI will rubberband to catch up with them and then declare war on all the other players as a result.

Also, not all the DLC is necessary. You can pick and choose which elements you want to play with. Definitely get them on sale though.

The meme kinda sucks, honestly.

But also a lot of Lemmy users are very aggressive with their downvoting of things they don't like or don't want to see. For a while, and I don't know if this is still the case, Lemmy users were massively downvoting everything about Reddit because it annoyed them or they didn't like it or whatever.

I highly doubt anyone on Reddit is going to leave just to come on here to follow you. This platform is so insignificantly tiny that it wouldn't matter anyway, getting more than 100 votes on a post is a lot, regardless of if it is positive or negative.

Besides, votes don't matter. Its an imaginary internet point score that means absolutely nothing. You could post something that is purely a factual statement, absolutely correct and on topic, and still have a negative score here. Who cares?

Java, and its not even close.
