“You want to check my ass? Sir, I’m not a CEO, why would I have anything up my ass?”

I don’t need nor want to download the damn files in the first place. Most games won’t allow me to delete them either

Which sucks for anyone that doesn’t have a 8GB+ GPU. I’m fine with 1024x1024 textures, I don’t need or want higher res textures, I want good framerates

I remember a similar story some time ago, of another map that was just a big arena filled to the brim with all the enemies. Part of the strategy was circle strafing the whole place while enemies killed one another, then using the ammo to deal with whatever was left. Can’t remember the map name

I find that very likely, which will be extremely on character, as Oblivion was the first single player game to sell cosmetic DLC: horse armor.

Still better than magic in Skyrim, which by level 10 wouldn’t be causing enough damage even on mudcrabs anymore

Same reason people still use Unity after the whole shitfest on “per install tax”: large community, huge knowledge base, tutorials everywhere, professional courses that focus on it.

Kinda ironic that the Unreal Tournament games (99, 2004, 3) were all incredibly optimized.

A more apt comparison would be with film reviewers. Before the internet, knowing what a movie was about, if you didn’t care about spoilers, would require either someone watching and telling you, or reading a piece on a newspaper (or, in some places, watching TV). It’s almost the same with “professional” game reviews and how they completely lost space to random dudes on the internet.

Also, watching a video usually feels more like entertainment, whereas reading a review or walkthrough feels more like doing some research.

Let’s see if the physical disc once said anything about needing an online connection for single play. Oh look, it did not, the subscription required was only for 2-8 players network play.

Let’s compare with Destiny 2’s back cover, a game that is a MMO and thus “cannot be owned” by the players. Hey, a “Online Play (Required)*” sticker that is not present on The Crew! The fine print has a bit that states that “Activision makes no guarantee of regarding availability of online play or features, and may modify or discontinue online services at its discretion without notice.”

FF14 also had a “Online Play (Required)*” sticker on its back cover. It clearly states on the rectangular bit above the T Rating: “Users are granted only a limited, revocable license and do not own any intellectual property in the game or game data”

You deceived consumers, Ubisoft. “Online Play Required” is not there, so the game should remain playable offline.

Nintendo and their lawyers can go suck an elephant dick.

From part 8 of the newest doc

the boarding character is selected among a plurality of characters the player character owns in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, cause the player character to board an air boarding character and bringing the character into a state where the player character can move in the air

and while the player is aboard the air boarding character, move the player character, aboard the air boarding character, in the air based on a third operation input

Plurality of mounts and “second operation when in the air” ain’t new, World of Warcraft had that in 2007 with Burning Crusade. I have no clue what “third operation input” means there.

A lot of the other alterations seem to focus on “air boarding character”, probably because they realized that you can only change your mount in Palworld manually while on ground or water, which kept glider pals safe, as they were the only ones you could summon while in the air.

Isn’t that exactly what’s happening as soon as you install win11?

So it runs the same games, but faster. Not exactly what I’d call a “massive upgrade”, especially when you compare PS1 to PS2 or PS2 to PS3

That’s because the kids you’re aiming at are busy with Roblox and whatever shitty “freemium” phone games they get their hands on

I don’t think my computer can even run the game, the high requirements are the biggest headscratcher for me. One of the appeals of The Sims, at least 1 and 2 (maybe 3?), was that they could run on comparatively lower powered computers of the time, which greatly helped with sales

emergency-patch an oversight that allowed children to be killed by driving into them when in a car.

So, you can kill people with your car, but not kids?

I filled the survey as well. It’s mostly focused on “games preservation”. I’m not up to pay subscription for anything they’re willing to offer and even made sure to tell them that I’m willing to pay a premium for whatever useful content (games) end up exclusive to subscribers

Someone high up in WB asked for it, clearly someone who knows better than all those developers and consumers

/s

FOMO, fear of missing out

Oh, of course the game is gacha waifu central, what the fuck else did I expect?

This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

On the other hand, why the fuck did they even cancel the production? The studio went ahead and released it, with people apparently enjoying the game, so that’s on you being stupid, squeenix.

Worst case scenario, 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Roblox isn’t so much “a game” but a collection of thousands of player created games (or “experiences” as the company calls them). You can find a bit of everything, from obstacle courses to first person shooters to casinos.

Since Roblox is so heavily targeted at children, it’s very easy to find pedophiles or other people with ill intent. Moderation doesn’t exist, afaik

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don’t they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

Bought X4 some time ago, finally started playing. Sometimes I feel like I’m spending more times checking the controls than actually playing. I’ve only did the first few timelines, it’s a good thing they exist as they’re kinda like arcade levels and extended tutorials.

Might start the open universe journey today.

If it’s going to run android, it’ll do as well as the Oyua. Those face buttons look like they’ll be awful to press

I hate it that you may be right

You should definitely play UT99, tho. Not as fast paced as 2004, but holds up incredibly well

Does whatever the hell I can manage to scrounge on Mothergunship counts?

Half the options of the original FF7

I’m pretty sure nobody had the option to save Aeris, side with Sephiroth, finish blowing up Shinra before having to change to disc 2, etc

FromSoft had been making those games for the better part of 15 years, building and iterating on what came before.

Longer, if we really want to get pedantic. King’s Field, the game and series that is now the spiritual predecessor to the Souls genre, is from 1994, so we could probably say they have been refining their own flavor of action RPG for over 30 years now.

The freedom that Morrowind gives you has never been matched by other Bethesda titles. I think the only path that’s blocked to the player is joining the Sixth House, but at least you can kill Vivec before confronting Dagoth Ur

I can’t speak for Daggerfall’s freedom as I haven’t really delved into it, but I know it has 6 different endings depending on which faction you ally with.

That works out to 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday, which Brin calls the “sweet spot of productivity.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH get fucked, assclown. The sweet spot of productivity is 6h per day, tops.

Besides, “torture yourself 12h a day so we can be the first to bring AI overlords into our world” is less likely to entice the workforce than “we’ll suck 100ml of blood off all of you in order to keep my skin young”

Regarding Fable, get the original first (fable anniversary on steam). Since you’re big on JRPGs, you might want to check out Ys, Trails and FATE series. You will definitely want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio

You can also experiment some of the “only on PC” or “best on PC” games like Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster (try the 1st game for both) - neither has an available demo, but will definitely run on your computer. Wait for a sale, shouldn’t take too long. Factorio, on the other hand, has a demo that lets you experiment and get a good feel of what to expect of the rest of the game. If you’d like something comparatively simpler and better looking, try Satisfactory instead (no demo)

On the RTS front, you can actually play the first Starcraft 2 campaign for free, though you need Battle.Net instead of Steam. That game can be a good introduction to the genre and, if you enjoy it, I can point out some other games in the same vein.

A personal recommendation of mine is Palworld. I like the gameplay loop.

Also, please learn to use commas.

Catherine Full Body Alan Wake Ni no Kuni2 The forgotten city Until dawn A plague tale 1 innocence TLOU1 Uncharted

Never enough dakka.

Related game: Mothergunship

From the looks of one of the reviews, a 3-week long daily grind quest if you want to get the good stuff without paying. Plus “ACE” anti cheat which will remain installed after you uninstall the game and an overly long, forced tutorial.

Overall, possibly fun if you only intend to play it sporadically and don’t mind not having everything, or abandoning it within 1 or 2 months.

“Top metaverse creators”

You mean, fuckzuck’s metaverse or…?

top Roblox and Fortnite creators

Oh, those. Dunno how stuff is for fortnite creators, but roblox would probably get a much better deal than their current hamster wheel

It’s also super ironic that rockstar, who shutdown several GTA mods, is now looking into making their game “the place to make your mods EXPERIENCES”

Is there any minecraft clone that uses non-blocky character models? Or how would one go to mod Luanti to use different meshes for some of the characters?

My dummy’s perspective: titanfall parkour, minus titans, plus metroid prime ball rolling

Constellation 4K collection on Nexus so that’s around 200 mods

You mean this one? https://next.nexusmods.com/starfield/collections/npk3lv

I can’t login atm and while ublock can remove the login overlay, I can’t open the lists to see the proper list of mods and changes.

Maybe it works with shareholders, who seem to be as invested and interested in quality as EA CEO

Man, I gotta play the collections someday. I think I got all of them on GOG

I’m also on team HoMM5. Dark Messiah was tons of fun, kicking enemies off cliffs and using the ultimate telekinesis to gravity gun their asses away!
