The article didn’t mention it but he’s said before Interplay called him years later hoping he did still have it because they had lost it all.

I wonder what the most popular/recognizable video game character that has never appeared on a console is. Up until a year ago I would’ve thought SHODAN but it’s probably between MOBA or WoW characters at this point.

I 100% did the same exact thing and switched back to my library to click the store page button.

It is on Steam. Maybe not available in all countries or something?

Honestly I think a Deus Ex remake would kill a lot of the charm, and it’s way more playable relative to modern games than the original System Shock.

I love JC but the game’s dialog would not hold up at all being delivered by real looking people capable of expressing any emotion.

Here a little late with some certified bangers in no particular order:

Bomberman Hero - Redial

Deus Ex - VersaLife

Monty on the Run - Main theme (Commodore 64)

Sonic CD [JP] - Quartz Quadrant (Present)

System Shock - Executive

System Shock 2 - Engineering

Jet Set Radio - Sneakman

Max Payne 3 - TEARS

Mega Man 3 - Shadow Man Theme

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wandering Ghosts

Sparkster [Genesis/MD] - Stage 1-1

Kirby 64 - Rock Star

I’m playing through Morrowind for the first time right now (past a few hours in at least), and I’ve been blown away at just how much more interesting of a plot and setting it has compared to everything Bethesda ever made after it. The miss chance, spell fail chance, and non-regenerating magicka were always enough to scare me away before, but I finally understood what a huge impact fatigue has on everything, and how much more terrible you are at low-level skills compared to their later games.

I also like the progression of my character walking around slow as shit at level 1 taking forever to get anywhere vs running around at 30mph jumping from canton to canton in Vivec like it’s nothing now.

You’re sure you wouldn’t rather switch to moonlight: vendor lock-in edition?

Yeah, I wish the PC corporation that makes all of our PCs would stop paying devs to make their games PC exclusive all the time.

Horrendous take.

The viewmodels and their animations look way better now.

I would walk around with a kishi shoved up my ass for storage before I would try playing a platformer using that d-pad.

There is no reason for this to exist. You can already just use your phone with similar controllers, except designed by someone who has actually played a video game before.

Why would it need to be “okayed”? If they’re not providing the files then they’re not infringing on any IP.

This is just a non-VR version of Bigscreen, which has been around for close to a decade (still in beta lol)

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.
