What are you expecting, a pair of glasses?

They made it frustratingly difficult and grindy to pad the game time. There’s like 2 hours of gameplay.

Isn’t this game like the textbook definition of GaaS?

The problem was that the WiiU wasn’t just a hardware upgrade, which is why the name was horrible and completely misrepresented what it was.

If you’re coming from dota the obvious hero shooter pipeline is to deadlock.

You are completely jumping to the conclusion that he has not done anything else to deal with that burnout. What do you think the solution is to burnout, never working again?

He could have also taken the time not working to deal with and recover from it before deciding he wanted to explore those themes in his next game when he did start working on one again.

Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn’t heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.

and even before there were IDF characters, the Galil was named the “IDF Defender” and was fittingly only available for the terrorists.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. I don’t want to play games with kernel-level anti-cheat.

It’s not versatile at all, it’s just what most games are made for so it doesn’t have to be.

Linux is more versatile because it can play games it wasn’t targeted for.

https://github.com/wa2c/cifs-documents-provider is what I’ve used for that in the past.

Edit: To elaborate, that would just mount your network storage, and you’d then need to access the files using the android file explorer or something else. I haven’t found a good FOSS file explorer, so I paid for solid explorer ages ago.

Metal Gear Solid 3

Really shooting from the hip on this one, huh?

$40 for three full graphics/QoL mods that also remove features from the originals.

What a deal.

I’ve only played the demo for this one (and liked it), but the first one is amazing, and there’s a good chance this will be my favorite series of games ever if they continue to make them. Very excited to play this.

This is taking me back to playing a barely controllable homebrew port of Doom on my jailbroken ipod video.

Not if you run a vaultwarden server.

I just want the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition release already. It’s been over a year since they’ve given any info on it.

Duck Season (the VR game) came first, and SLZ is a VR dev studio. This version is the traditional PC game port of the original VR game.

I love the original Dead Rising, but fuck it is stressful to play. The strict time management, the gameplay difficulty, the save system, starting the game completely underpowered, and the game just letting you fail and showing you how bad you fucked everything up, it’s brutal. Even after almost 20 years, hearing just the first second of the song that plays while the convicts are outside in the jeep raises my blood pressure.

Dota only does in private matches, not matchmaking games.

I would also say it’s easier to snowball in Dota than Deadlock. You can take way wider and more restrictive control of the map since it’s smaller and everyone is less mobile.

It’s even funnier that no, I didn’t.

But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing “anime girl” into google images and saving one of them.

Maybe you think they’re lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.

I’m having trouble digging it up, but the person who created Steamspy a number of years ago, before privacy laws made public profiles opt-in and interfered with its ability to collect data, found that the majority of Steam accounts only had a single game in their libraries.

A lot of those are going to be alts people made to evade game/server bans or smurf.

I may or may not have made 10 accounts that only had Garry’s Mod on them circa 2010.

someone whose replies have ranged from AlTeRnAtInG cApS mEmE tExT to an eyeroll emoji telling other people to grow up lol

“I burned this CD [to a blank CD].”

That’s exactly where it stops making sense.

If you have a painting, and you show it to someone and ask “Could you paint this?”, they would assume you’re asking if they’d be able to sit down at a blank canvas and paint the same picture.

If you have a painting and say “I painted this”, they’re going to assume you’re talking about the painting in your hands, not a reproduction you made that’s hanging up in your garage.

lol if you want to go through life using words incorrectly and sounding like you don’t know what you’re talking about to people that do, be my guest. this is a comment thread about a word choice in an article that was clearly confusing for that very reason

No, because in that context it makes sense to assume he means burning to a blank CD.

If he showed me the official CD and said “My friend burned this”, intending to mean “My friend made a copy of this to their own blank CD”, I’d look at them and think “That’s clearly not a burnt CD-R, that looks like a legit release”.

“I burned the original disc” would never mean “I made a copy of the original disc to another CD-R” to anyone that actually knows what burning a disc is.

It would either mean “The original disc is a CD-R that I burned an image to”, or “I threw the original disc in a fire”.

You’re right, I’m more familiar with DLSS and thought both used it, but still, just because other companies are using it that way doesn’t mean it’s inherently a buzzword in every context.

DLSS and FSR are some of the best and most useful implementations of AI out there right now, I don’t know why you’re acting like it’s just some marketing gimmick buzzword.

Well the E stands for emulation, so no.

Why would anyone even play a Star Wars game at this point knowing you’re just getting whatever slop some mega publisher paid top dollar to Disney for to fuck you in the ass with.

Yep, just because a game takes 8 years to make doesn’t mean it was necessarily spent making a game that looks or plays anything like the one that eventually came out.

Absolutely hard disagree with this. Removing active items would be dumbing it down too much.

I’ve been playing dota since 2012 and I haven’t played a single game of it since I got invited to Deadlock months ago.

I doubt it, especially considering this is actually the fourth game in the series.

Ok, then what does it mean to you? Were you confused why Baldur’s Gate 3 was made too? It’s an even older gameplay concept and did less to change it.

Edit: I’m also struggling to see how I was being “dishonest” by sharing an opinion.

If the way you choose to value a game is based on how “old” or “new” it seems to you then you should be prepared for people to question that because it’s meaningless.

If anything a game feeling “older” to me is a good thing considering the nickel-and-diming design by committee garbage that has taken over.

I’ve played for many hours and I think they nailed a lot of the mechanics, so the game is fun.

I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say, what does the year have to do with anything? It’s 2024 and not 2014, and therefore I should only play modern shitty live service games?
