I mean it happened to me a few times when exploring. I don’t know the names of the places. It was still kinda early on. I think the messy place I tried to enter was the mushroom place? And i kept dying in there then had to travel what felt like half of a full zone to get back there because i had yet to find a bench in there.

I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)

There’s plenty of moments in hollow night where it can be way more than just 3 screens. Especially when you’re exploring places for the first time and doing know where the next bench will be (I felt like there was no way near enough benches too).

It’s what made me eventually drop the game. I didn’t find it hard, I just could not be arsed. Felt like a waste of time when I’ve got so many other games bI could be playing instead of playing the same 10-15 minutes of gameplay over and over again.

I love metroidvanias too. One of my favourite genres.

I think the remake has better controls. Like just pressing triangle to add to a sleight for example. But the 3d playing field can make using them sleights a bit more awkward than on the GBA.

He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games…

Exactly

I’m trying to point out that i don’t think that the length of a game shouldn’t really be indicative of the price. I have no issue with him enjoying the game or buying it.

There’s plenty of jrpgs half that price point with twice the length though. Heck, even the previous GTAs have at least that length for a cheaper price, and are occasionally even cheaper now. Be patient and you’ll likely even get the game given away for free.

Yeah I’ll hop on her machine when I get a chance and she’s not too busy playing oblivion to have a mess around.

Big picture has the same performance issues as gaming mode on nvidia though doesn’t it?

I remember my partner trying it when we first built her pc and it was awful. Although at the time she was on a 1050 Ti temporarily, which also had other issues on the OS. She’s now on a 3050 so maybe it’s better now?

That means having to use big picture mode though right?

Anyone know if there’s a way to get junk store for bazzite desktop?

It would be great for my partner who has bazzite but doesn’t touch the gaming mode because she has an nvidia card at the moment and it runs like dog shit.

This is her first Linux experience so it would be nice to have something really simple for her to use.

Fucking preach! I feel like this falls on deaf ears most of the time though sadly.

Another comment explained what it is but to explain where the name comes from, you remember those capsule machines where you had to collect all the toys? Those were called gachapon machines, often shortened to just gacha (i might be slightly wrong on a little bit of the words, but they are the capsule machines)

For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out.

A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example.

For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down

Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.

Also all of the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.

That game came out. I still miss it though, but it isn’t a cancelled game.

Still keep hoping for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.

I thought that game came out?

That’s not cancelled, that’s just a game that was taken down.

There’s a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.

Yeah I’m not against patents in general because it’s meant to allow the company or individual a chance to be only one on the market so they can recoup rnd costs instead of someone else coming in and undercutting them immediately.

The issue is they last too long. Especially idea ones like this for software. 5 years is what it should be around about.

The whole base design philosophy other than it being a mario themed kart racer is completely different this time. You’ve not even looked up a thing about this game have you?

Have you actually looked at what this new one entails?

PowerA did a good wireless one that also had a second Z button on the other side

My gaming pc has just switched over to bazzite (as I use it like a console/htpc). Been wanting to do it for ages but needed to get an amd card beforehand for the best experience. Windows really started to grind my gears in the last few months too.

Mirrors edge wasn’t on ps2… Was that a typo intending to be ps3 instead?

Not a fan of the water, the new visuals somehow make the texture look even more obviously tiled

Wonder how long this one will last

Bang the donkey 6? Didn’t know they continued after 3

I find the pc version awkward to play, but the mobile one is great with a controller, feels like a souped up og Xbox version.

And that everyone is a kpop star with high fashion.

If you can’t afford a ps5 it’ll be better to just get a small loan or finance at a place like Currys. Only way this rental service is better is if a contract can be very short like a month or two and you’re only planning on playing a game or two and have no friends you can or are willing to lend you their console for a short time.

That’s understandable, i wouldn’t knock anyone from boycotting for tencent reasons

PS1 3d is my favourite early 3d. I think it’s so charming. Some absolute bangers on the ps1 too

That’s hilarious haha, that has to be the best autocorrect from my swipe typing I’ve seen yet. I’ll have to figure out what was meant to actually go there now (I’ll stick it in an edit at the end though cause that is too funny to remove)

Alan wake 2 had massive critical acclaim what you on about and they’re now in a financial situation to publish they’re own games because of it.

And their store definitely runs better than steam and gog. Gog is the worst hanging most of the time with it often losing its penis place when going back to the previous page, and the latter is often the same on steam. Even big picture mode struggles with the steam store some times.

Correction: previous place, not penis place

We would have never gotten the likes of Alan wake 2 if not for epics money though, which also paved the way for remedy to become more independent for future releases. I’d rather have an exclusive then nothing at all.

It’s also arguable whether or not square would’ve ported kingdom hearts to pc if not for epic paying for it as well. Which in turn allowed them to put it on steam later because the game had already been made to work for pc.

Other than how they’ve handled rocket league and harmonix, epic have done nothing but good for the pc space in my opinion. Even if a launcher is shitty, a launcher is just a launcher and at least their store runs better than gog or steams.

What did they do to the gaming community? Make you not use just one platform, giving that platform a de-facto monopoly?
