There’s an investment you have to do, you can’t just make one line and expect people to take it, you’ll need to make sure you have good coverage, just like in a real city. A train line between each major area, and busses to connect multiple blocks within the smaller section, so people can easily go from anywhere to anywhere. Roads will become laden with traffic soon. Just like real life it takes an initial investment, and then becomes indispensable later.

Also played Oblivion years and years ago, and I can agree and think you put it best. “It turned out as well as it could have”. Because to anyone complaining here, any and all changes anyone here suggests the team obviously thought the same things, but there is obviously a balance. Change it too much and hardcore original fans are pissed. Don’t change it enough and new fans are pissed because it’s too old. No matter what people were going to be unhappy. Gamers are some of the most negative people I’ve met.

I see a decent remaster, I see gameplay and motions have been updated, I see a lot has been updated without changing the core game too much. It turned out as well as it could have.

I feel as though the combat is much cleaner in my book. Yes it’s based off a 20 year game, it’s not going to match the witcher in sword play, but it’s not annoying anymore to me.

Beyond selecting a proton version it was no more difficult to set up than any windows game. Deck hardware I’ve heard issues with, but I’m not surprised. The deck is essentially a mid level right from about 8 years ago. The remaster struggles on my 3090. I was finally able to get 60fps after tweaking graphical settings for a while, but none of that was because of Linux.

Whoops I zipped them up and put them in a few s3 buckets and kept it on my computer. Oh no, well, you know there’s so much that goes in what do you expect.

Upvoted, I hope someone can help you here. But also a bit of condescending, it’s been solid as a rock for me on linux :D But, seriously hope you figure it out, it’s frustrating having a new game not work

Let’s hope other studios get worried. We do have power if we all collectively work against a company.

I loved the first act. It was so much fun to be there and run around. Then I was so disappointed when the second area opened and I realized oh, so I just… Do the same thing again? Like exactly the same? By the end I was just bored

People are trusting Discord way way way too much

What about gestures everywhere suggests that I should ever fully trust a company?

I’m suspicious, but overall more relaxed. Only wish other companies would be a gracious

Don’t go back. Geralt’s relationship is… complicated. Personally I’m a Yennifer fan, mostly because of Geralt’s history with Triss. Triss knew that Geralt’s memory was gone a while back and took advantage of that, even though she knew that Geralt really was with Yennifer. So… I was always salty.

That being said, this is a game I recommend playing again someday. So just choose Triss next time. Enjoy Yenn, IMO they compliment each other well vs Triss who is just obsessed. Triss’ relationship isn’t as healthy

Guess I’ll never own AC shadows or any game of theirs. If I must, I’ll treat their games as rentals. And I never pay over 20 for a rental.

Yeah, but it’s always been a license. I’ve never been unaware of that, it’s only now that publishers are starting to abuse that fact that they’re making it obvious. Again, I’ve never been burned by valve, so I trust them. Maybe that’ll change some day, but for now, that’s why they’re doing better.

And here I just read another post here about how gaming journalists are surprised their industry is dying

It’s because valve has always been transparent about it. They’ve also put in place a lot of protections for gamers, which is why I trust their store. Their stuff is also a license, but I have yet to see something pulled out of my inventory. Actually there was a game once, and it was a Ubisoft game now that I think of it. I believe that’s when they put in more protections.

Ubisoft wants to make everything cloud dependent and then want us to be happy that we can’t play our games anymore. They lost all of my trust. If it’s not a purchase, then it’s a rental in my eyes, and I’d never pay more than $20 for a rental.

Honestly not a bad idea. He could slap SpaceX on half the ships, and the timelines of star citizen releasing are about the same as SpaceX getting to Mars

We had 12 years or so of “GTA 6 RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED” with bs content reading “we currently do not know when it will be announced, but here are our guesses”.

Their clickbait game was a short term win and everyone knew it. Long term they destroyed their names chasing the profits.

Azure, AWS, and GCP all literally have tools to drag and drop and train a model.

They have plenty of artwork to make their own Bowser model, or Mario model. Llms and image generators are AI, AI is not only LLMs and image generators. Anyone can create a new model of content they own, and they have plenty.

I think that’s my point, that they’ve built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what’s the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that’s the first thing people start working on.

Then they’re all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren’t being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn’t happened yet.

SHOCKING

I’m glad they’re calling out Microsoft’s bullshit with contractors. Most people don’t know a massive chunk, I think even a majority of Microsoft employees are “v-”, contractors. They pay them less, they get no benefits, no PTO, no health insurance, and then after 18 months they’re out. Contractors usually rotate around between the big firms but Microsoft is notoriously bad.

I say good on them for calling it out. Microsoft just wants cheap labor with no benefits. Fuck that, give contractors benefits, or stop using contractors and just hire them

Well if anyone knows what 8 year olds want it’s large corporations. Case closed folks.

Yeah why would they keep making games that were successful when instead they could make games that no one asked for

I loved shadow of mordor/war, and always wondered why they didn’t make another. However I also guess better to go out early before it’s done to death

Then they really are horrible at gaming because there are millions of people chomping at the bit to pay any amount for dlc to that game

Seriously they could have done sims level DLC and people could have just kept buying. New mounts, small new areas, bits of story here and there, a new class

I’m glad I’m not the only one genuinely confused by this. Are they shorting their own company? What is going on?

I mean, a Gollum game?

Which is fine, but I have no idea why they’re just throwing everything they have in the trash. They built the whole world and just sat on it. Expansions could make them so much money to fund the next game in the short term

WHY?! WHY ARE THEY BEING SO STUPID WITH HOGWARTS?!

They built this whole world into the game and did NOTHING with it! It’s empty! Hogwarts the settings is perfect! The castle was fun to walk around in, to explore! I 100%'d the game because I loved exploring in it! Then they did nothing else to the game. I don’t even remember what the antagonist’s name was!

The game oversold all expectations! People just loved shelling out money for it! Then WB just dropped it.

I see things bitching every day about how their game studios don’t make enough money and then they shit the bed here by just letting that game sit here!

If they’re actually worried about money why are they not cranking out DLC every 4-6 months?! People would buy it! The world they built is begging to have more stories told, and people are holding out their wallets asking for more content for it - and they cancel it?!? They can’t bitch and moan that games don’t make money and then they just flip the off switch on their freaking money printer.

Thanks. That was cathartic.

I have large groups of pc gaming friends. Not a one uses that useless game bar. As is Microsoft tradition, too little too late.

My first thought when I saw it was “oh sweet I can access discord in game without alt tabbing”. Nope. Didn’t integrate discord. Didn’t integrate steam friends. Only can use their music apps. Worthless to me.

It was amazing storytelling. It was never about saint Denis, or the heists, it was about the little things you overheard in camp, the gang itself. Truly a amasterpiece

Vertical Integration, Lemon

I’m usually pretty cautious on stuff like this, I’m in the minority that says the newest games don’t need to get 60fps 4k ultra on the newest GPUs, that it’s okay if you can get medium. Gives games room to future proof themselves.

But this is bad. A mid tier brand new GPU can’t play your game more than 720p 35fps? That’s laughably bad. I’ll wait to get some other reviews before I judge completely, but that’s just utterly unacceptable.

But they care so much about history there at Ubisoft

Dear God how shitty is that. “We never said it was ten gig you stupid moron”. We just took a fairly standard industry term and flipped it around.

They’re years behind and they have a half baked idea. Of course they’re going to come out with one!

They also have piles of metrics saying it’s going to become the dominant in the market, that it’s way better than the competitors, and that the Xbox interface will be loved by all.

And then it’ll come out, be mediocre at best, and silently dropped in 3 years.

It’s Microsoft. I’ve seen this one before
