Player housing in pretty much every MMO I've played other than UO and Asheron's Call has been instanced so everyone can have a house that is just in its own special space like with Anarchy Online, Final Fantasy 11, and LOTRO.
Personally, I always liked UO and AC's system more. Having houses in the world (and actually being able to build them yourself) was always more fun and rewarding.

I'd be curious to see how they handle the problems which have cropped up with similar systems in the past. -

If they *really* wanted to kill Palworld, they'd just make a Pokemon game that is similar to it.If they *really* wanted to kill Palworld, they'd just make a Pokemon game that is similar to it. Both in presentation and mechanically. -
Many other games have "defined" their genres, but few have done so quite as completely as Doom (1993).It didn't catch on the way Doom did. Maybe it had something to do with the ceiling not having a texture in Wolf3D.ā

You'll need to pay to edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character beyond the first free redoDon't give them ideas! -
What Game Should Replace Doom As The Meme Port Of Choice?I think it should be a game that barely runs on modern hardware entirely because it's poorly optimized. It would be funny as hell to have a game like that running on toasters if done by talented devs. -
What was your first ttrpg product?I bought a boxed D&D module, not knowing it didn't come with the actual *rules* for D&D. So then I had to get the rule books. -
SteamDB now lets you filter out Steam games with AI GenerationAh, just had to scroll lower. I only looked for the yellow banners and the sidebar. -
SteamDB now lets you filter out Steam games with AI GenerationIs it just a search filter or is there some kind of banner or notice on the game's store page? I've been playing The Finals a lot and I often see things saying they used GenAI for things in it but I can't tell what was made with AI or not. Maybe the announcer voices? The way they say "the magic number" is a bit wonky. -
Activision is forced to confirm the use of AI in Call of Duty due to Steam's disclosure policyI had been playing some Warzone recently because I hate myself, and I had thought some of the cards and banners seemed fucked up, but most of them also look hand drawn (such as the Black History Month loading screen) so I assumed maybe it was just the style, but now I can't help but think they're just AI generated. -
Does that mean the physical copies of this game actually have the full, playable game on them and it doesn't need some bullshit zero day patch to actually get up and running?Does that mean the physical copies of this game actually have the full, playable game on them and it doesn't need some bullshit zero day patch to actually get up and running? That's actually amazing. That shit doesn't happen anymore. -
Skyrim was 'personally rebalanced' by producer Jeff Gardiner just 2 weeks before launch: 'Well, I hope this is good'In Morrowind you could basically make anything as long as you could afford the gold cost (and the mana to actually use it). Oblivion made it super bare bones basic and not nearly as powerful. -

Valve's monthly survey reveals that almost 45% of Steam users on PC are still using Windows 10 even with the sword of Damocles hanging over themIf I did anything other than use my PC as a glorified gaming console, I might care about w10 not being updated anymore. Until games literally can't work on the OS, I'll stay on it. And when they do stop working, I'll probably just install Linux. -
Ubisoft revenues decline 31.4% to ā¬990mA French company that hates their customers is, like, the most stereotypical French thing to exist that isn't a cigarette and coffee for breakfast. -
Overwatch 2 is adding a CS:GO-style mode and bringing back loot boxesLike... The bomb mode? Hostages? The whole thing with buying equipment at the start and if you die, you're dead until the next round? I feel like that would suck balls with OW's character mechanics.
