damn, I kept playing just for the plot, I can't wait for the 2billion budget sequel voiced by keanu reeves and ana de armas

[–] purrtastic@lemmy.nz 57 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That takes up 300Gb and requires a third party launcher plus denuvo

[–] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

although the min reqs gonna be crazy, I'm counting the days to summer 2038

[–] radix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Start saving for the 9090Ti now if you want to run it over 30 fps.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 86 points 1 month ago

I gotta sweep these mines

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 73 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What happened in Singapore?!?!?

[–] simbico@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 month ago

Things went sideways..

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Where's the part about making an account to "share your score with your friends".

Also missed the "Achievements": the very first click should've triggered at least "Started your first sweep", "Just got lucky: your blind click wasn't a mine!", "Cleared more than 10 blocks on 1 click" and "Cleared more than 20 blocks on 1 click".

Also didn't saw any "sweep store" selling things like "Safe-click: is this click hits a mine it transforms into a flag instead of exploding".

I think this is more if Minesweeper was an AAA game 10 years ago.

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

i like the part where ot always tells you where to click and the main character and the woman also constantly explain it xD

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hey, for an AAA game there is a serious lack of a launcher, issues with kernel level anti cheat, creating a separate account and a 30 gigabyte update.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where’s my DLC and monthly subscriptions?

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago

I want to buy a special skin for Sweeper!

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 39 points 1 month ago

OMFG, this is hilarious!

[–] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

I couldn't play it because it's PlayStation exclusive 😔

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

This yes so well made I was sad there wasn't more. I love Minesweepers.

[–] assa123@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact that it's impossible to die reminded me of that Wolverine motorcycle game.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's impossible to die? I just played it without using the yellow diamonds. I didn't try to intentionally hit a mine though.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hit a mine and it let me continue

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I hit every mine and it let me continue lmao

Do I need to play the prequel to enjoy this?

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah but if you play the prequel without reading the novella first then what are you even doing with your life.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

there is a game boy side series that explains why the villain become the villain so he you would sympathise him to an extent - he actually has a point

[–] SarahValentine@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

All right first you're gonna need to track down a Nokia N-gage, then what you're gonna wanna do is take the battery out...

What? No localization team? As a native bahasa speaker, this is literally unplayable!

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 21 points 1 month ago

The yellow paint indicator 💀

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 21 points 1 month ago

I need to sweep these mines.

[–] UiUiUiUiUi@piefed.nl 19 points 1 month ago

This is just Halo 3 on easy. Where is the DLC? The in game currencies? Rare lootbox skins? Forced online pvp with ranked rewards?

And what is happening the flags should waving in different directions thanks to DLSS5.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 month ago

We can have quadruple A game in a browser but we have to download an app just so we can get an appointment.

Also the lack of QTE is disappointing, 7/10.

[–] Zykino@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That can't be even A tier. It run perfectly on mobile, vertical.

holy shit where can I pay 80 eur for this?

[–] zuckey78@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

This is fantastic! Wonderfully done and funny. Thank you!🙏

Minesweeper is the GOAT of all timewasters. GTA6 is going to have a run for its money. Physical release?

[–] Bryan065@kbin.earth 10 points 1 month ago

Naked snake and para-medic in an alternate world....

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I did not expect to be double crossed after all that work.

[–] ElectroLisa@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago

When I saw the UE logo I burst in laughter, 10/10 spot on

[–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 8 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Anyone else just listen for a really long time thinking he'd eventually start sweeping mines??? 😂😅

[–] Batmancer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Coooool I finally finished a round of minesweeper.

[–] AlexanderTheGreat@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago
[–] Cornballer@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It’s apparently vibe coded but no less hilarious because of it.

[–] plateee@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well shit. Evidently that's all AI generated. That sucks.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 5 points 1 month ago

It's faithful since the industry is moving towards this, Activision already put a lot of AI art in COD.

I accidentally saved the whole city on my second playthrough!

I had completely forgotten that's what happens, but that's obvious. Don will be so disappointed!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

"Good job, Sweeper. You did it." Yes. It was all me! Thank you, Nora.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I mean minesweeper is :100: a AAA game, what are we even talking about.

I need to sweep these mines.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wish every name in the credits was Mike Lacher.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, did a new xcom come out?
