$50 for a PS3 game.

The absolute state of AAA gaming is ridiculous.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 14 points 2 weeks ago

no no no this one has shders and dust particles it's braaannnd neeww

[–] TotallyNotSpezUpload@startrek.website 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

50 quid? Nah, I'll pass until it's down to 15 quid max.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

15?!
10 max

That makes it a hard no for me.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah i am done with "its just a launcher bro, lets game"

There so many good games with out that trash... Why?

For me the last straw was not being able to play a game on a plane because no internet connection. God forbid i enjoy something i paid for without checking in with server.

FAFO, grifters. No money for parasites.

If you buy Black Ops 6 on Steam, you need to use THREE LAUNCHERS

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wtf... Some context?

But yeah i stopped buying cod and battlefield due to bad practices.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Linking YouTube videos on my phone now makes it difficult to share without stupid tracking links, but check out Videogamedunkey’s recent Black Ops 6 video. It’s asinine.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I respect you appreciating this!

Can you even get a non tracking spytube or reddit link amymore?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seriously! I used to be able to copy and paste easily and remove everything after the ?, but now they’ve changed it so it’s nested in the URL. Also, they broke ad blocking in Firefox Focus, so I have to copy and paste the videos into Safari with Vinegar and Baking Soda for a halfway decent watch experience. Aaaaaaaa

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah i had suspicion that reddit using rando letter/number variables for specific link were died to person generating link.

I saw youtube and twatter do the same...

Disgusting

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yah. They’re all doing it. Amazon too. Apparently with TikTok, you can’t even remove the tracking info, absolutely disgusting! I don’t touch TikTok, so I can’t confirm.

If you see a ?, you can usually delete that and everything after it to get rid of the spy stuff.

I open Blops 6, Blops 6 opens

Technically it's the CoD HQ thing, but it loads Blops 6 content first and will let me play MP and Zombies without anything else needed

I had to log in to battlenet when I first got cod, but it otherwise doesn't appear when playing

So I can see 2 if you count battlenet, what's the third?

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ugh. I'd probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It'll be interesting to see the sales numbers on this. Surely it's been long enough that it'll only be the extra few stragglers and the few looking for a hit of nostalgia, right?

[–] GammaGames 9 points 2 weeks ago

Undead Nightmare becoming suddenly easy to stream around Halloween will probably boost sales a bit too

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love good stories. RDR2 was a good story, and RDR1 is technically the sequel to it. And as I don't like consoles, especially not buying them for one game, I'll definitely buy it - if it runs on Linux.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

RDR2 is a prequel. RDR is just that: ~~RDR2~~ RDR1

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. As I said, RDR1 is the sequel and RDR2 is the prequel.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

RDR1 isnt a sequel bro.
You wouldnt call the original star wars triology a sequel, would you?

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Its a retroactive sequel, yes

Sequel and prequel are relative terms. In the overarching view of the series release order: RDR1 is the prequel and RDR2 is the sequel

In the view of the game story, RDR2 is the prequel and RDR1 is the sequel

erm ackshually

Why are you arguing about something that matters so little?
