People need to remember that news about how Steam has like 300 employees. They do a ton with a small crew, and they stay down to earth. Coming from all sorts of console gaming and the shittyness of that, It’ll be a long time before I criticize Steam.

Did a quick search to remind myself. 300 for Valve. Only like 80 are dedicated solely to Steam.

Far Cry 6 is tons of fun and 5 was kind of meh to me. I also thought 4 was incredible.

As a fan since the first, and having played nearly every version of Far Cry, Far Cry 5 was the biggest disappointment for so many reasons. What a dud. I cannot comprehend the love people have for this mediocre pile of mush.

The Vietnam DLC was fun though.

Blood Dragon is the best Far Cry by the way. But truly Far Cry 2 is actually the best for what it aimed to achieve, which was lost in subsequent games.

Skyrim was already grey rpg. They can’t do that again. So now it’s brown rpg. Maybe next we’ll get fuchsia.

The way skyblivion has been implemented avoids all this. They have made it very clear they are not in any way using original assets or providing the game. They are mods that utilize both Skyrim and Oblivion game files and you must have both for it to work. It is modding those game files, not providing them.

I remember reading back in December/January that it’s going to be a mix of Unreal Engine 5 and the Gamebryo Engine from the original.

Fuck big gaming but you’ll still hand them money and emulate?

Thanks half the voting country too. You got neighbors who asked for this.

And there are those who have it even harder than YOU. Everyone’s station in life is different. They are allowed to experience that.

If they are being insensitive to your concerns, then maybe they are not a good friend, but it sounds like you’re the one insensitive to their concerns. You can both have different concerns.

Also this is literally a Switch post in a gaming community amd you self selected this complaint in here. It’s telling.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2.

This game works wonderfully on Steam Deck.

Morons will still throw cash at them.

Nope. It’s apparently going to be LCD. Based on recent handheld cycles, they’ll just re-release in a few years with OLED as the major excuse for it. No real upgrade other than that.

They claim it’s “better” cause the new one is 1080p instead of 720p. Whoopdeedoo.

I’ve also always known OLEDs to supposedly be more power efficient than LCDs, so a battery life downgrade in a way.

Ubisoft’s The Crew 3: Super Mario Horizon

Don’t give Nintendo more money for their lackluster crap.

If you can’t help yourself, at least wait for the inevitable OLED model.

Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.

Your comment is what I’m getting at. It’s not the same anymore. Instead it’s like getting a new PC graphics card and finally being able to turn up the settings on mostly the same games.

That too, but also console gens aren’t what they used to be. What has the current gen done to justify itself beyond the prior gen?

The PS5 is basically PS4 Pro 2. Meh.

Where’s the excitement? We don’t have the graphical or storytelling upgrades of the past anymore. What is going to be incredible and new abiht the next generation? Probably not much.

How many people raging about this probably played the shit outta San Andreas. Oohhhhhh but that’s okay cause it fits their stereotype?

I always wanted to see anything else. I’m a human male every day. Give me a female and/or an alien or some other strange thing. Let’s be different!

I never understand this need for people to mimic themselves.

While it has been quite a while now, I would have a hard time getting over the fact that I have never encountered a WD HDD that did NOT fail. Between prebuilts when I was younger, and friends/family computers I helped with. It was astonishing how pathetic the WD’s were.

Disappointing years ago when I read they acquired Seagate.

Republicans have no issue suggesting some people oughta be killed though, including the current idiot-in-chief.

Hypocritical projecting evil pieces of shit, including every single fucktwat that votes for them.

Midnight Club 3

DC can’t just pick a damn batman actor, or be consistent with their movie stories. They just keep rebooting. They keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Just like skipping Vista was the way to go. We need to skip Win11.

I’ve been replaying it a bit on Steam Deck and it plays and looks good.

Instead of the Electric Boogalo, it’s the Steam Dreamaroo.

The Saboteur

This is mainly why I quit. And it especially used to piss me off cause it’ll still demand you put in the disc to play even though the whole fucking thing installed and downloaded patches larger than the game. Might as well be all digital with oversize hard drives and be lazy with swapping games. I know still having to put a disc in for a fully installed game is a long time PC thing, but it really frustrated me.

I also went more Steam and cheaper sale games or key sites. Saw a game for like $3 on Steam and $30 on PSN too many times.

Aside from a few PS4/PS5 games I love or are rare, I’m only really physically keeping older stuff and have actually been playing a lot of older stuff.

The Saboteur is a lost gem that everyone should play.

Does going gold mean anything anymore? Nearly every major game is garbage at release and needs tons of patches and fixes.

It’s not what we should have gotten in terms of Metal Gear story. In terms of a solid game with good gameplay and a decent story, it’s fantastic. Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.

Morons. AoE3 is amazing and gets shit on for no good reasons. AoE1 is exactly what not aging well looks like coupled with a shitty re-release. I’ve always felt AoE2 is mega overrated. I have played hundreds of hours of all of the main games and AoM.

It’s underwhelming and there are better options, and it’ll sell like crazy because people are basic.

While it’s not exactly a good game, I had a lot of fun with Heroes of Annihilated Empires and enjoyed it even though parts of it can be difficult or clunky and I couldn’t even finish it. It was kind of like high fantasy RPG RTS.

The Dungeons series is fun.

Some might not call Mindustry an RTS, but it’s similar and a lot of fun.

I also felt Company of Heroes 2 was a good story and had a lot of playability.

Circle Empires again isn’t exactly RTS, but is similar and a unique take on the concept.

Also you can’t go wrong with most Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, and Halo Wars.

They’re your notes. Pull them up in Steam Overlay.

Old people also have those same new games and also have the same social media and attention span issues.

Big reason I don’t understand the obsession with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The game world is empty and just feels like so much wasted space, and a ton of it looks like PS2 worldbuilding.

I am fucking tired of article headlines that say “here’s why,” and here’s why (link).

Offline single player, amd occasional local co-op is all I need.

People’s obsession with online play drives all this.
