Fun unlockables by doing some cheat.

Imagine telling a FIFA player that you used to be able to have a dog as referee by doing the Konami code. And it was not behind a fucking paywall.

International Super Star Soccer for SNES had this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYaHPm-yDl8&t=63

For me, the difference between 60 and 144 Hz is big, even when not gaming, and would definitely aim 144 Hz for any non-laptop screen. However, I don’t think I would notice a big enough difference between 120 and 144 or 160 in a blind test.

I would say go for any of those options you can find in your market; I treat them as basically equivalent.

Esports was never sustainable

I feel like Dota 2’s The International goes against your claim. It was the esports tournament with highest prize pool several years in a row, and it was funded almost exclusively by Dota 2 players buying The Battle pass. Valve removed battle pass like 2 years ago, but it’s still ocupies top 1 up to top 7 esports tournaments with highest prize pool: https://www.esportsearnings.com/tournaments.

Some Neon White dialogues have me laugh, but there was one level that baited me so badly, I couldn’t stop laughing. Incredibly recommended game, although I’ll never forgive the devs for not adding a map editor.

I live in Colombia and Steam has it at ~10 USD post-regional pricing. A friend (same location) had to pay 24 USD in his PS5 (extra 4 USD due to taxes). Sony situation is ridiculous.

The lack of local coop was also a huge downside for me back in the day.

OP said they are an experienced VR player, they probably have good motion sickness resistance.

I find it so odd. It basically doesn’t affect the players giving the negatiea reviews in any way

The car deformation physics of the game were so damn good and fun

Just FYI: I’ve had a really good experience with Heroic launcher. Use for playing those Epic freebies I’ve accumilated over the years, and has been pretty solid, almost Steam-like experience.

Plus you can always go the pirate way as well. I do for the most expensive games / from companies I dislike / as a trial mode for games I’m interested in buying.

That was an exceptional case, I think with the WannaCry malware. Not something they’ll regularly do.

Arma 3 offers a unique coop experience due to Arma’s nature. Worth a try if you have a group of friends to play with.

It is Nightmare difficulty, on a hidden level as well.

Unrelated question: did you manually copied and formatted the SteamDB/ProtonDB links, or did you use any add-on?

SovietWomble has a video essay that touches this topic.

For my part, I’ll never forgive them for Megaman X 6 and beyond. The story was clearly written to end with Megaman X 5, then transition into the Zero series of games, but Capcom was too greedy to leave it alone.

Oh man, I got so many Vietnam flashbacks with Gears of War 4 and beyond. Microsoft really massacred my favorite video game saga :c

I recently set up a Xbox 360 emulator using Xenia to play all Gears of War games in my PC, and had a lot of fun setting things up (Xenia is way harder to set up than any other emulator I’ve used): patching, tweaking and testing stuff, modding some files, and obviusly playing.

Lots of fun playing, and the games have aged pretty well, IMO.
