One big issue is not every country is allowed to make a PS account, which essentially region locks a singleplayer only game. It should be optional, at least.

They are cousins. They’ll probably go together after the next family dinner.

Anyone can walk into a store and buy a deck of cards.

I bet the gift shop of any casino in Las Vegas would sell a souvenir deck of cards to a kid without a second thought.

Man, Blood and Wine was such an amazing DLC

The annoying thing with MSFS 2020 was how much it downloaded in app, which chewed through your playtime counter in Steam. Didn’t make it impossible but made it so the auto approval would deny you.

I’ve never picked up a farm sim, but rice farming sounds like a really relaxing way to unwind. Just might give this a try.

Your sites are too low - you should aim to work AND be laid off from there.

I will buy it eventually, but far from 50EUR.

Pretty psyched to try this one out. Bought 3 months of Gamepass so I can check out Stalker, the BO campaign and MSFS 2024.

I wonder how much they’ve built on the basic stealth gameplay of the new Wolfensteins.

Worth trying to refund. I read they refunded owners of GTAV when a similar situation happened.

Maybe by the time you update, they’ll have removed Denuvo and you’ll have the best of both worlds.

I would like to see Deck treated more like a phone, kind of like they are. Incremental improvements alternated with (hopefully to come) generational leaps.

I’m guessing some people are just looking for more of Skyrim. That’s basically what Starfield was, in a sci-fi setting, so I’m confident Bethesda can still deliver it. I’m not confident people want what comes along with that, though (bland story, outdated engine, empty characters, outdated mechanics, lots of loading screens).

Anytype - open source note taking app, similar to Obsidian.

Vampire Survivors - addictive game without intrusive ads

Looks like it’s 50EUR on Switch, so that’s my guess on PC.

Or the failure of TLOU live service game that was cancelled

I still have my note 9 in a drawer but moved on to a nest phone because the display started having issues, where it would get a green haze and slowly freeze and become unresponsive.

Favorite phone though, also perfect size.

Any tutorials on how it works?

They need to get over the loading problem with the engine. I’m not smart enough to know if that can be overcome or not, but it isn’t really acceptable to load screen so often, and I say that as someone who really enjoys Starfield

I enjoy a AAA now and then but console prices are definitely not for me.

If that sounds appealing, and you enjoy Bethesda games in general, you should at least give it a shot on Game pass. Personally I really enjoyed the moment to moment gameplay - shooting, exploring, talking to people - but the loading screens can potentially ruin the enjoyment if you’re expecting a seamless world.

Not really surprising given how it looked (like a generic ripoff), how it’s priced (should be free), and how it was marketed (every conversation I enter starts with a chain of comments saying it’s the first they’ve heard of it).

What is surprising to me is how much a Sony first party game missed the mark. I can’t think of any other recent examples.

A15 is probably the last major update for P6P.

Not sure about security patches though, which are arguably more important.

Also there’s always custom roms for Pixel phones.

Brothers in Arms is one of my favourite series of all time, and for years I was disappointed that they never greenlit a sequel to BiA2.

I get now that it’s probably for the best, having seen how awful this turd is.

I picked up Payday 3 a few weeks ago and have been playing that. Definitely undercooked compared to the second game, but I am happy to have new Payday. First MP game I’ve played in over a year, and will likely be my last for a while.

It also works from a FO4 installation via Steam. I installed yesterday and played for a few hours.

Downgrading the FO4 version is necessary though.

The steps for the Steam installation already include downgrading and disabling updates until launch.

Downgrading was surprisingly easy, so hopefully Bethesda can’t break it until I finish FOLON.

I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I’m glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.

There are two separate listings for the DLC

The non deluxe is at mixed, the deluxe bundle is at mostly positive.

Feels very similar to the trend of ‘why QA our AAA game before release when we can call it GaaS?’

And you won’t be missing much.

I was also waiting for a sale, but won’t bother now.

Only reason I can think of is to sell MTX boosts for xp or currency, like Activision does in COD

Are you focusing on the main story? I felt that if you treat it as more of a linear game, and just go directly from mission to mission, it’s quite enjoyable. There are some great side missions, but the other open world stuff never clicked with me.

Its a fun plane to plat around in. I would love to hear how the diving is in VR.

I picked this up over the summer, but didn’t get too far into it before spending some extended time away from my PC. Will be looking forward to checking it out next year.

I do hope they manage Steamdeck support by then – I remember it working okay when I tried it, but I think there was poor controller support.

I really miss SOF 1+2 – glad they’re still available on GoG, but would love to see a good remake of either one.

Looking forward to giving it a go! What a strange time for release though.

Probably once they get the initial sales from Steam and Epic.
