That newer Prince of Persia game was supposedly good

I hadn’t checked out their other stuff, so I didn’t know about Imposter Factory. Another game added to the wishlist, excited to check it out!

Lots of indie games, but To the Moon is an easy one. Super sad, but it’s a short game that’s 100%’d once you finish the story

It’s completely free if you own Fallout 4, like Enderal for Skyrim.

It’s a mod that effectively makes Fallout 4 a new game. It’s set in its own world, has its own story, and has its own unique mechanics.

Some people are even saying it’s the best Fallout since NV.

Edit: If you’re curious here’s a link to the site. You can grab it easily from GoG if you own Fallout 4 over there, it’s a bit more involved if you have the Steam version.

Hey if they did a full 180 in like a year then that’s great, but somehow I doubt GTA6 will be releasing on PC on the same day as consoles

Uh huh, pretty sure Take-Two are the ones that released RDR on literally every platform over the last like 3 generations except for PC

Luckily, despite Bethesda’s blatant attempts to indefinitely stall the release with their conveniently timed updates and lack of heads up, GoG stepped in and saved the day.

So currently Bethesda can’t do anything to break it, even with updates. GoG allows players to play older versions with no risk of forced updates, and even if you’re on Steam, the team has made a downgrader and instructions on how to stop automatic updates.

Just want to add that I, and loads of others from what I’ve seen, thought exactly the same way you do, in that the game really didn’t seem like my type of thing. I don’t play dnd, and I haven’t enjoyed other games like it in the genre before.

I mean even their previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2, I tried so hard to get into but couldn’t.

But let me tell you… not only was it my goty, it became one of my favorite games of all time. I seriously couldn’t recommend it more.

Speak for yourself

Nintendo Labo

Eh, the inflation argument never moved me for a variety of reasons. But either way, if that’s true then the first part of my comment applies.

Depends on if the publisher is scummy or not. BG3 and Elden Ring were $60.

Even then tho, this game was $60 back in 2010. Releasing for the same price 14 years later is insane, not even EA would pull that.

A 14 year old game releases at full price. God Nintendo is the worst

What a surprise.

Totally agree, tbh I even felt 7 was a bit too high. But people were pissed that it was that low.

Dunkey actually made a great video showing how any game that gets below an 8 gets slammed, regardless of the title. Was kind of funny tbh, albeit a little sad.

They thought 7 was too low. And I totally agree with you, I would’ve given it like a 6 or 5.

There’s an extension for YouTube dislikes if you’re curious. That video got slammed with them.

Granted, people eventually agreed that the game was pretty mediocre. But at the time the only people that had played it were the diehards that paid extra for early access, and they were livid.

$60?

Eh, I don’t love IGN but it seems like at this point nothing they do makes people happy. I remember when they gave Starfield a 7 people rioted lol, even tho the score was entirely deserved.

That’s definitely not ps5 footage lol, but yeah it looks solid!

Oh I agree, I addressed all of that in another comment. Even used movies as an example lol.

Totally agree, I actually brought up the Steam Deck in another comment

I’m confused, do you think you need the sub to play Switch games? Not paying the sub doesn’t mean you have to pirate or emulate.

That’s my point though, movies are also considered a pretty expensive hobby. People aren’t going to theaters and piracy is sky high currently because it’s simply getting too expensive for a single movie ticket. Tickets near me, for example, are $15 minimum, with some being over $20. So for my family to go to the movies it could be $100 minimum for one movie, and god forbid anyone wants snacks.

And just like gaming, you can simply wait for every movie you want to watch to end up in the bargain bin on dvd, but imo that’s a different discussion entirely. When people talk about a hobby being expensive, they’re usually not talking about the lowest possible entry point.

I guess it would be more accurate to say that gaming and movies can be expensive, not that they inherently are. Like, you can grab a Steam Deck and solely stick to grabbing indie games during sales and ultimately not spend that much, at least relative to the alternative.

When a single game costs $70 I’d call it an expensive hobby.

Sure, you can buy an old gen console and only purchase old second hand games, but modern gaming is expensive.

You can bump the resolution, so that’s not an issue. The only problem is, depending on the game, higher resolutions will be harder to run.

So actually it’ll usually look better than the Switch. Same resolution or higher, with graphics options to make it look even better.

Try switching it to launch the windows version through Proton instead of the Linux version. Loads of games work better that way I’ve found, since a lot of the Linux versions don’t get the same level of support.

Some aren’t even that egregious. A game having a launcher, or requiring you to manually bring up the keyboard, for example, keeps it from being verified.

So Monster Hunter Rise, a game that works flawlessly, launched as “playable” because it required you to manually evoke the keyboard when typing your name in character creation.

I’ll tell you that while my modded Switch was easily my favorite system, getting a Deck completely made it obsolete for me. It’s been gathering dust ever since.

Don’t get me wrong, if you’re someone that primarily plays Nintendo exclusives then the Switch is still great. But if you mostly just use it to play your games on the go, and modded it to emulate, the Deck is an easy recommendation.

Plus it’s, imo, the best gateway into PC gaming. It’s reasonably powerful, easy to use, and lets you start building a pc library that will stay with you regardless of new game generations. Free multiplayer and sales are also a nice bonus.

If you’re interested you should look into EmuDeck.

Definitely just verified, the actual number is easily triple that.

Not to mention even tons of unsupported games work perfectly fine.

If you liked Fallout 1 and 2 you’ll probably like NV too. It has a far slower pace than 3, and has a much bigger emphasis on writing and player choice than 3 and 4.

I could never get into 3 or 4 personally, but have always loved 1, 2, and NV.

But even just the fact that we’ve never once heard of him until this entry, and suddenly we’re getting loads of backstory, makes the “reveal” comically obvious.

It has its issues for sure, but the gameplay certainly isn’t one of them (barring the tank sections). I recently played all four games back to back and Knight has by far the most responsive and fluid combat in the series.

Imo the problems are the tank sections, and the story. Overall the story isn’t terrible or anything, but…

The day that happens we’re all fucked

Probably the fps bump, which could’ve been done ages ago if they wanted to, and with far less drama. It’s about as simple as ticking a box.

And apparently it doesn’t even include graphical improvements. At least on PC.

Considering mods, whether you like it or not, are a massive reasons for these games’ lasting appeal, yeah I’d consider it a big deal. You may not use mods, and hey good for you, but the billions of downloads from Nexus mods solely for these games in particular shows that many others do.

Regardless, ignoring all of that, the Skyrim Script Extender Team was in contact with Bethesda before Special Edition released, giving them time to work on an SE version for when the day came. So it was perfectly reasonable for the Fallout Script Extender Team to expect the same.

It wouldn’t be the first time, the SKSE team for Skyrim was in contact with Bethesda before Special Edition came out.

Seriously wtf is up Nintendo’s ass lately. They’ve always been litigious but the last few years have been pretty extreme.

If Microsoft wanted to put GamePass on Linux, there’s no reason it wouldn’t run on a SteamDeck

Nope, but they definitely won’t do it, as much as I wish they would.

I didn’t get that impression at all, to me it sounds like he doesn’t like the windows experience on handhelds and thus wants to drastically improve the experience.

They’ve been using the phrase “every screen is an Xbox” for years, as has their efforts to bring gamepass to every device they can. This isn’t new, this has been the case since before the Deck even released. Yet despite that, and despite Valve’s vocal approval, Microsoft has yet to release any form of gamepass on Linux, unless it’s cloud based ofc.

So to me, from what he said, it sounds like nothing has changed. Their goals remain the exact same that they’ve been for years, only now they want to improve the Windows experience on handhelds.

Hoping I missed something, but that really seems to be what’s happening here.

Edit: And in their “defense”, it’s not an incomprehensible decision. For pretty much the entirety of pc gaming’s existence, Microsoft has been the sole option. Sure, technically you could game on a Mac, or on Linux, but neither were viable. So 99% of pc gamers ended up on Windows. It’s only recently that Proton has had such massive improvements and made Linux more viable, and I’m sure Microsoft isn’t thrilled about that. No way they’d want to add even more to that viability.
