COD , GTA and Destiny 2 compatability was killed by the developers, not by Linux. VR (ignoring that it’s a gimmick which is going to die soon enough) works fine.

I’ve had it wishlisted for a while because the trailers and screenshots look fantastic. Unsure if the sprawling scope will result in anything ever playable.

My hope is for something akin to a Mount & Blade style RPG but who knows of it’ll ever see the light of day.

Didn’t super Mario rpg get a remake this year already?

Bug fixes don’t bring in new whales with investment money, new silly features does.

The point ceased to be about making the game years ago and became about attracting new money because that’s easy and making good games is hard.

Where is the Popular ZA/UM these days Reg?

He’s over there

I always create a horde of lance wielding heavy knights and just plow through everything. Even better if you equip all your companions with jousting lances and take mass prisoners.

Lonesome Road is such a great, atmospheric journey. My only problem with it is Ulysses never stops talking!

Ooh I’d give that fair maiden a good dance sequence.

How straight forward is modding new Vegas on the steam deck? Keep meaning to go back to it but I’d prefer to play it on my deck and I just can’t imagine ever going back to vanilla NV.

Give me more soldiers noble leader!

They have options to switch to a more “traditional” control scheme.

Goldeneye scheme was forward and back on the joystick moved forward and back but left and right on the stick turned the camera in that direction. The opposite movements were on the c buttons (strafe left and right and look up and down).

It was incredibly disorientating going from that to Turok which used the strafe on the c buttons and looking on the stick. It’s the same feeling I now get when I try to go back to Goldeneye now that the other orientation has been made universal.

On a side note, the goldeneye controls allowed for a unique way of moving around the map with circle strafing that you can’t really replicate in other games.

Factorio.

Best thing about it is that it never ends.

The details are too much to go into here in a simple comment. For a full investigation into Roblox check out this video by People Make Games, a games journalism site:

Essentially, Roox makes billions off the free labour of children. The entire eco system is set up to funnel kids into a cycle of consuming others content and producing their own. It’s also completely unregulated which has allowed some shady people, some of whom are, or directly work for, the owners of the platform to set up quasi developer studios where children are subjected to the same appealing treatment and exploitation of the regular games industry, while earning none of the revenue.

Big fan of Dead Rising but a second remake seems completely redundant. Especially since they’ve changed the voice actor of Frank, which absolutely didn’t need changing, and updated the graphics but left the very janky controls intact and the animations exactly the same?

Pointless cash grab. I’ll go back to my copy of the original any time I get the itch rather than reach for this.

That’s a journey to the PNW, not in the PNW

It’s morally right to pirate Nintendo games

Star Citizen has raised more money than the budgets of GTAV, Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 COMBINED.

The only people defending it now are those so deep in the sunk cost fallacy they can’t get out.

Edit: the total budget for StarCitizen so far is equivalent to the nominal GDP in 2023 of Sao Tome & Principe

It’s a grift, a scam, a goose that’ll lay golden gameplay eggs just so long as those whales keep dumping more money on the project.

Factorio.

Just kidding, someone please help me

Yeah but if I’m going to do that I’d probably rather fire up Pacific War: The Struggle Against Japan on Vassal instead

For 10 minutes before it needs charging again

Everytime I turn my PC on the WITP icon glares at me accusingly, reminding me that I only ever got halfway through the first turn of the full campaign before my brain refused to go any further.
