Great game if someone hasn't played it yet. It's basically just a modern Castlevania Aria of Sorrow by the same lead dev, and it is a bit janky, but there's a ton of content and a lot to love. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I watched it again and I really thought it was just me, that bitrate is abysmal. Even at 1080p there are many shots that look like 480p and artifacted as hell.

More of a teaser trailer than anything, but it looks pretty sweet. Gives me "300" vibes.

I guess you're just going to ignore that Xbox is flopping and selling consistently less than playstation/xbox even before the hardware crisis. And the undisputed fact that MS has been unsubtly pushing game pass as an alternative to buying and owning games.

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Worse when it's a flash game, as I understand they're all dead now.

You can still play every flash game ever through the Flashpoint Archive

Mount Fay was a ton of fun. In terms of non-gimmicky areas, I think Greymoor might be my favorite. The atmosphere there is awesome.

 

First episode launches March 19th. Hell yeah!

Genuinely feels like this ~9 hour season could've been a 2 hour movie. This episode had me hammering the skip 10 seconds button, I just don't care about anything happening on screen anymore...

Yeah... I don't know what I'm looking at. Is that a hair braid that looks like a spine?

Alright I know people rag on Epic all the time... but it's truly incredible how hard they keep dropping the ball. It's been SEVEN YEARS since it was created and it still feels so basic and terrible to use.

The store is drab and uses huge chunks of space just to advertise fortnite and f2p rewards. Discovery is terrible and the store is full of crypto scams and AI spam shovelware, which is ironic because Epic started off being very selective about what's allowed to be published there. The store also feels like adware because it keeps spamming random notifications and ads unless you turn it off.

The best part is that Epic constantly blames users for not wanting to leave Steam instead of admitting their store sucks. They keep spending tens of millions buying exclusives and giving away games for free rather than spending any time improving the store. Seriously, what are they doing over there?

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...

YYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!

I've been so conditioned that Team Cherry give no news that I thought this was a joke when I first saw the trailer in my feed. Seems like they're hard at work.

There's more info in the official blog post, including a new update for the original hollow knight

Lovely fanart I wanted to share.

Some context: Hytale is a block sandbox/RPG game that's releasing to early access in January 13. I'm quite excited for it, so I decided to make a community in preperation!

There isn't that much to talk about since... well... it's not out yet, but I will be posting official news and teasers leading up to its launch. Join us if you're interested!
