The idea that they would backport the MP stuff to SP has always seemed completely nuts to me but I will admit them scrapping SP expansions in favor of making them MP content is a poo poo move.

I mean it would (probably?) not be that hard but it'd also be AFAIK unprecedented and worth nobodies time to do. I don't think it would be bad if they did or anything I'm just not surprised they don't.

Nvidia's RTX voice stuff does really good at cutting background noise if you have a last two gens card from them. You can also make it work on older cards without too much of a performance hit and I think maybe the second release of it works on AMD too? Don't quote me on that. It occasionally also mistakes some peoples voice as background noise depending on some poo poo so it doesn't work for everyone or you'll have to speak up, but it's a neat piece of tech.

Imagined posted:Apologies if this exact analogy has been drawn before or is it just too obvious to bear repeating, but it occurred to me today that the current (and increasing) trend toward subscription services and walled gardens which offer "free (but almost never complete) games" is not a new idea at all even in the realm of PC gaming but merely a revival (but worse) of the old idea of shareware. I say "worse" because old-school shareware didn't usually charge you for the demo (and if it did at least gave you a physical product e.g. a box/disk or magazine), and was upfront about being essentially 'the first hit is free' adware for the real game, whereas Microsoft, EA, et al charge you a subscription for the privilege of access to glorified demos for their actual product: expensive DLC. I don't think that plays, honestly. I've subbed to all of the major publisher subscriptions at one point or another and played the entire amount of every game I wanted to play on them without paying anything else, barring the sub rolling over. Pretty much all of the publisher subscriptions give you either the deluxe or the ultrafancy everything digital editions which gives you the various DLC etc. Ironically the one that does not, at least with some games, Game Pass, is still ridiculously good value because it frequently lets me play games that I was iffy on buying myself that I've enjoyed and gone on to buy the base game and DLCs of later on.

Imagined posted:Really? I have noticed the opposite with the Xbox (e.g. Flight Simulator) and EA subscriptions (look at Sims 4, or how many games limit you unless you subscribe to the super duper subscription), and with the games that Epic gives away. I think in the case of EA, and this is very much a lovely piece of reasoning I recognize that, but $5 for every game and every DLC would definitely be way too nice for them to offer. The $15 option does generally have most things, AFAIK and probably in the case of the Sims, since it's one of the few things that they haven't hosed up in recent years, or at least the one people are still buying, that's probably what they're doing there. Which sucks rear end! No argument there. I can't speak to Flight Sim's DLC but I believe from the beginning their plan was to do the fremium modules like they've been doing with FSX for years, which is a lovely model from the top since it's basically just another "Flight sims are a niche market so we should vastly overcharge for poo poo." Game Pass in general also doesn't include DLCs.

Superanos posted:The only subscription I plan to keep in the future is the grandfathered tier of Humble Choice because it's about 60€ every six months for a bunch of monthly games I can keep forever and they're all Steam keys. And I can skip monthly bundles where there's too many games that I don't want or already own. They are starting to roll out limited modding for some games on it but yeah, the way it handles the files is completely poo poo and I have no idea, other than some bizarre remnant of UWP, why they do that.

You know how the main game of Rage 2 is extremely satisfying when you are murdering dudes and then extremely tedious in between those moments? What if they fixed that by making the murdering dudes also extremely tedious? That is the DLCs.

Mordja posted:Haha, oh yeah, how so? In the typical way that most games gently caress it up, honestly. "We've given you an extremely powerful suite of tools, weapons and abilities. Here's our DLC in which basically every new enemy has some way of no-selling your coolest poo poo." The teleporting fuckers were the worst but they all sucked. Granted I was not really into Rage 2 for a challenging experience because while I thought the power fantasy was good, the actual challenge of the encounter design wasn't. So maybe you might find it less annoying and more properly challenging, to be fair. E: I should probably clarify that I feel like "no-selling your coolest poo poo regardless" and "forcing you to use your coolest poo poo in different ways" are different things, Rage 2 does the former.

MonkeyforaHead posted:Maybe they're already on edge about 3D All-Stars going away and this is what tipped them over The 3D All-Stars thing is just Nintendo continuing to skate by on its cult, honestly. It's a Tuesday. And while the dude saying that poo poo to anybody remains a completely uncool way to go about this, apparently Overfall was co-developed by another studio, in some capacity, who just removed themselves from the publisher/dev list of Overfall today. So who knows what's going on there.

I mean it's honestly not terrible, the gameplay is fun enough if you play it like they intend you to, the loot is pretty okay, the abilities are good and recharge quickly and the shooting is Better Than Anthem if nothing else. For my part I had so many connection issues with the beta that I am passing on it, just out of how badly that went purely on my end for something that may or may not be fixable because of weird internet/ISP/whatever vagaries.

Ambaire posted:Isn't that 'cart before the horse' logic? Their logic, which in the days of auto-scaling AWS is on shaky ground, is that it's not worth the extra costs on servers for the two or three days that people are going to be slamming the login or game servers. And for what it's worth (not much) some companies have figured this out over the years. The last couple WoW launches have been pretty solid, a couple edge cases aside on some servers, games do launch with online focus or online only functionality without categorically being shitshows these days, it's just that they're few and far between. Also, Sinteres is correct in a fun way because the games industry is, in a lot of places, an old boys club where people who have been doing this for the last thirty, forty years have become the game dev boomers and refuse to change how they handle things.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts (naaaames) is a much better take on a more controlled version of Ghost Warrior 3 and while Sniper Elite is still the much better long ranged murder arcade by far it's not entirely without merit. It's also not remotely worth the rest of that bundle but if you ever end up with a key and like sniping games, worth a go.

Except you own an image on a system that can up and vanish overnight and almost all of them certainly will at some point in the future, leading to an extremely funny panic from the lovely rich people that bought them but don't understand the internet.
