Valve is definitely a more ethical company but all the console crusading also gets tiresome


So the combat and leveling systems have been reworked, but aside from that it’s largely unchanged mechanics wise, from what I can gather. I just booted it up 5 mins ago so I can share more impressions in a few hours




I don’t think there’s a shot that there is zero mod support. It’s Bethesda’s bread and butter. What I’m wondering is will old mods be compatible/portable? Rumor is the game is running old gamebryo engine logic alongside UE. Looking forward to seeing what this actually is tomorrow


Don’t think we know for sure how updated it is until tomorrow. Mod support is another big question mark


I love my Anbernic. Such a cheap and convenient way to emulate old games.




It may be a miniLED since it supports HDR which honestly wouldn’t be terrible. Would even make it brighter than an OLED


I’m so excited to see benchmarks. Nintendo’s offering has a 1080p screen, but I’m curious to see if it actually has more horsepower than the deck and its 720p(ish) screen. My guess is it doesn’t in handheld mode.

Knowing Nintendo, we won’t know until June. Gonna hop over to digital foundry now to see what their impressions of the Wednesday direct was.


I was watching the nextlander coverage and they were hoping for “burnout kart”


Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility


I dunno why people are so downvote heavy in this comm…

Yeah I agree that Nintendo has seen the most success when they have a compelling gimmick; time will tell if the same gimmick with more power will do the trick. I doubt the mouse gimmick will be more than a novelty, but we’ll see what they show tomorrow.


Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?

The same way they have been for a while, by making charming, accessible, and fun games. The average consumer doesn’t care about how litigious they are, unfortunately.




It’s an overlay not too dissimilar to steam’s in game menu.


What makes it even more dumb is the guy they’re mad about existed in real life. Weird as fuck to care about something like that



I’ll do that. You’re right in that it’s been years since I booted up the original. I want some death company gear too which I don’t think is in 2 at all.


I’ve been happy with my blood Angel jump pack marine, although the unlock treadmill was a bit slow for my liking


I thought you could do that with the PvP mode in SM2?



It wasn’t on my radar, which is why I asked. I was clearly just uninformed


Ah ok, so it’s just my not paying attention to the space. Sounds like PoGo will just continue to be a whale wealth extractor then?


popular titles like “MONOPOLY GO!” and “Stumble Guys,”

Am I crazy or has nobody heard of these? Either way, this sale isn’t a bad thing. Niantic was not a good steward of the Pokemon IP



That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and selling and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.


Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.


Looking forward to this, especially since I have gamepass. Alcatraz here I come


Emulation isn’t inherently theft. Nintendo leverages emulation themselves.

Edit: Jesus your modlog is a shit show. Completely unsurprised you’re a corporate bootlicker.


I know I didn’t buy it; playing with my subscription. I wonder if MS keeps these titles at 70 to try to push people to subscribe to gamepass rather than choosing more competitive pricing


It’s fun. Has its clear limitations, so it’s not as broad as many rpgs, but what it does do, it pulls off well. The “gamers” being mad about the pronoun picker is the source of a lot of the derision as far as I can tell.


I had an extra voucher so I used it on violet. Near instant regret.


Yeah those games were unplayable trash imo


Following the release of Shadow of War, Monolith wasn’t interested in developing another Middle-Earth game and went on to develop a new IP codenamed Legacy. However, WB Games wasn’t and still isn’t interested in developing new IP and wants its studios to concentrate on making games around already established IP

Shocking.



I enjoyed Legends Arceus despite its performance issues. Looks like they fleshed out a lot of what made Arceus fun so I’m optimistic. Also very interested to see what they do with the alt starter third evos. Loved Totodile back in Silver so I think I already know which one I’ll go with.


I’m cautiously optimistic for this one.
