Anyone else just listen for a really long time thinking he'd eventually start sweeping mines??? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] DerEnder@lemmus.org 2 points 20 hours ago

I'm gonna preorder the sequel. No matter how dumbed down the game and how much the content is hidden behind micro transactions and DLCs.

[-] assa123@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

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

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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 4 points 19 hours ago

I hit a mine and it let me continue

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

I hit every mine and it let me continue lmao

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Ah I see. I guess I could have tried rather than asking hah . Thanks though.

[-] nekobeko@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Do I need to play the prequel to enjoy this?

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago

I think for new players it makes most sense to play them in release order and then for a second playthrough go chronologically.

[-] nekobeko@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Another minesweeper purist I see

[-] johncandy1812@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

If you want to know about what happened back there in Paris you'll need to.

[-] mirshafie@europe.pub 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 day 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 day 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...

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 59 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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 6 points 1 day 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 50 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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 8 points 1 day ago

Where’s my DLC and monthly subscriptions?

[-] uzay@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago

I want to buy a special skin for Sweeper!

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 89 points 2 days ago

I gotta sweep these mines

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 21 points 1 day ago

I need to sweep these mines.

[-] plateee@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] TheKingBombOmbKiller@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

I was wondering why the voice actors weren't credited in the comically long credits.

[-] arararagi@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago

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

[-] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 95 points 2 days ago

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 57 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 21 points 2 days ago

The yellow paint indicator πŸ’€

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

I wish every name in the credits was Mike Lacher.

[-] Cornballer@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yep. E en unskippable credits haha. Where's the expert board?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Did you buy the expert pack dlc?

This is fantastic! Wonderfully done and funny. Thank you!πŸ™

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

[-] danielfm123@lemmy.zip 0 points 21 hours ago

Hahaha mostly woman in the credits.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

What? I can't buy any cosmetics?

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

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

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

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

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

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

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 40 points 2 days ago

OMFG, this is hilarious!

[-] Zykino@programming.dev 17 points 2 days ago

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

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

That's where "AAA" developers are heading next. Consoles and PCs are gonna be dead due to component costs. Phones are gonna be the new target.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days 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.

[-] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

I couldn't play it because it's PlayStation exclusive πŸ˜”

[-] Chaser@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Can we get a New Game + as DLC?

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 5 points 1 day ago

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!
