[post after playing 10 hours of a game]: this is cool!

[post after game pass prices go up]: In this thread, I'll be breaking down what this means for how people might be consuming videogames in the next 10 years

If I could lodge one minor complaint about videogame Bluesky, it's that people are way more interested in the games business than sharing anything detailed about what they're playing.

A blatant bit of "playlist gerrymandering" is happening in Battlefield 6, as @lincolnhello.bsky.social coined to me. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/af...

After making Closed Weapons almost invisible in the Battlefield 6 beta, DICE says Open Weapons is 'the right path forward' because it was more popular

Surprise! The mode Battlefield 6 shoved to the back of the menus wasn't as popular.

Taking mental damage as the Dodgers blow a lead vs. Pure bliss as Blake Treinen continues to suck...the scales are balanced

It's all by design. Call of Duty is a 20-year experiment in making the perfect controller FPS. The assist makes you believe you're doing things you aren't, which is fine in an equal setting, but has me wondering if PC players should also have a crossplay off option.

Morgan Park @morganpark.bsky.social · 2d

It's hard to talk about why aim assist is too good in Call of Duty without sounding like a sour grapes PC gamer, but I will try. Last night I switched to controller for a few hours and noticed that everything was easier: recoil control, staying on target, headshots, tracking.

the blue jays are pretty cool, huh

Morgan Park @morganpark.bsky.social · 2d

It's why you can't just do an Oscars with games and get the same results. Academy voters have time to at least watch a few no-name movies with amazing festival buzz. Games are just longer.

Morgan Park @morganpark.bsky.social · 2d

I'd argue localization is a secondary barrier for Blue Prince compared to the one you also cite in there: TGAs favor the games lots of people played, not the ones our bluesky mutuals went bananas for. Even if Blue Prince was localized, it's just way more niche than a Clair Obscur.

This is a five alarm Ted Game. I am so excited for Sword Hero. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/th...

The solo dev behind RPG Sword Hero is promising a 'seamless open world' with amazing combat, intricate simulation, and systemic dismemberment—the demo on Steam makes me think they can pull it off

My latest FOV 90 column is about Battlefield 6: A massive-budget FPS that recognizes nobody really cares about ray tracing, but everybody loves a smooth framerate. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/th...

The most anticipated FPS of the year is scoring points by recognizing a simple truth: people want performance more than ray tracing

PC gamers are celebrating games that actually run, and it's the FPS leading by example.

My starting point is "people who read game websites," which is an increasingly enthusiast crowd every year. (Not to suggest that means everyone gets it)

Sounds likely yep, I'm not subscribed to anything that's gotten better over time. Only worse.
