Well I’ll just wait for the ultimate edition to go on sale for $50 or whatever.

I guess this is kind of the logical conclusion of the “never buy unless it’s more than 50% off” attitude.

Why does a game cost that much to make? I’m not saying every game should be an indie, but given what indies can accomplish it’s a little ridiculous to spend $125 million.

Mortal Kombat. I know it’s technically inferior but I find the style and characters a lot of fun.

That’s awesome. I would love to see some new content on a similar (or the same) engine.

How can they say it “failed financially” four days after launch?

Are enough people playing this to justify ongoing DLC? I thought it was panned and everyone said just play mods for 3/NV/4.

So if Google sold its phones at a loss then Epic would have no problem paying the fee? Sure.

The more interesting part of the argument is saying that people will contact Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony for technical support with a game and expect them to help while Apple or Google would send you to the developer.

You must have missed the top comment where it was stated that publishers need to agree to have their games on GFN. Activision not only told Nvidia that it was okay to put their game on GFN, they likely had developers work with Nvidia to iron out any issues in creating the VM that it uses.

Wine/proton are unauthorized tools - most publishers don’t care, and some even encourage it and help to fix issues (i.e., No Man’s Sky), but it’s still not officially agreed to like GFN.

Again, it’s the official trailer for Portal: Revolution. I’m really not sure what’s confusing about this.

The fact that this thread has more up votes on the “remove the official from official trailer” posts baffles me. The first line of the description says it’s a mod.

I think everyone has it.

I’ve been deep in the Android emulation rabbit hole for a while.

RetroArch is a great all-in-one solution, but it can be tricky to customize. For example, you can’t move on-screen controls through any sort of interface, but need to edit a configuration file to do so. It also won’t automatically adjust the controls to the game you’re playing - you would need to manually override the configuration to use an SNES overlay for SNES games. That said, the default “retropad” on-screen controls work fairly well for most consoles if you don’t feel like customizing all of them.

RetroArch is going to provide the most accurate emulation cores for basically everything up through the N64/Playstation. Is it the best? If you take a few minutes to learn how to customize it then definitely. In addition to being accurate, it has a great system for video shaders that work across all consoles.

Outside of that Dolphin is solid for GameCube/Wii. Yuzu is available for Switch but only some games will be playable.

I mean they’re not stabbing you so not literally painful, but “being a pain” is pretty common parlance to say something is annoying…

Linux can be a pain

So can Windows.

I picked that up when I saw it hit 1.0 and I’ve been loving it. I’ve kind of struggled to get into similar games like Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn but this one “clicked” with me.

I feel like every time we hear this the “unprecedented experience” is something no one enjoys. Or in the rare case that the new feature is good the rest of the game is not.

48 courses that are truly remade rather than copy-pasted in (support MK8 features) for $25 doesn’t seem too bad to me.

with an overall average score of 66. It’s ranked in the bottom 30% of games

That doesn’t sit right with me.

It wasn’t “universally praised” but it had generally positive reviews when it was released. Fallout 76 was panned.

Diablo 1 had a duplication bug through its final release and no one was ever “actioned” for exploiting it. Let people have fun with the game FFS.

You know what else was made in a year? Doom 2, one of the best games of all time.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U

Yeah that’s plenty for 3ds.

I have a super weird experience from my childhood.

I played Asheron’s Call for a long time. If you aren’t familiar the game had an interesting guild system where you would have a “patron” and XP would pass up to that patron. So experienced players would help out their vassals to both keep them progressing but also to keep them sworn to them and generating XP.

I had found a cool patron who helped me out a lot. We got talking and it turned out he lived in my town, and his younger brother was actually in my class the next year. I never really hung out with the guy I played AC with but me and his younger brother became friends.

Controller support has been solid for a while. The inventory/skills interface is eh but you can play pretty well with a good variety of builds. Agree with the other poster that mouse targeted skills are always going to be a problem.

I had been playing on GFN but put it on my Steam Deck recently and it plays great.

Multiplayer has been in for more than 6 months if you want to check it out now.

Awesome, well whatever you did for it, good work.

Enclave. I picked up the Xbox version in a clearance bin somewhere. It’s a really solid level-based action adventure game.

Wizordum. I’m a sucker for boomer shooters already, but this one in particular did it for me.

Also Don’t Die in the West. It’s like frontier life in cartoony form.

And then we have NC Soft still running the Guild Wars 1 servers.

It’s a solid game - if you aren’t familiar, Neocore also made The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing which is another fun Action-RPG.

The builds and itemization aren’t quite as in depth as some of the competition, but it’s a fun “hack and slash” action RPG. Well worth your time. Both of them (Van Helsing and Inquisitor) honestly.

I enjoy Diablo 3 for the “arcadey” aspect, but Grim Dawn is my top ARPG. I was so excited when they announced another expansion.

If you like Diablo-likes, there’s…

• Grim Dawn (new expansion just announced)
• Last Epoch
• Warhammer 40k Inquisitor
• Chronicon (simple graphics but solid gameplay)
• PoE of course but I don’t need a second job

I wish they would bring this to PC.

That… is not at all specified what kind of “mine” it would be. You’re assuming it’s innocuous, everyone else is assuming it’s malicious. But we’re all making assumptions.

They do not create native Linux builds, but for the most part they all work under Protein.

…I kind of want this.

Honestly there are so many great mods for Morrowind that it doesn’t need a remaster. You can get it looking pretty decent.

I don’t know about that. The game has now removed all of the live service elements, so I would say it’s showing that there is interest in this type of game without the live service.

I don’t think Doom can be Doom without its music composer.

Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Doom 64 and Doom 3 would all like a word with you.

They forgot to make it fun.
