This will take a rogue agent to send malware or otherwise brick all machines by kernel injection. The crowd strike event poked a hole in the dam. This needs a full exploit to get major traction beyond game studios moving to the next kernel level drm/exploit engine.

Considering how simple its premise is, Another Crab’s Treasure seems pretty basic, like its story doesn’t have much left, at several points. People online gave some takes that four boss fights from the end, they thought each one would be the final boss.

Far Cry 3 also did this well. You finish the skill tree, do the last few missions where the increased power slides the difficulty down…and then it turns out you unlock a whole other island to make use of your full ability tree in every encounter.

Too bad villain Hoyt Volker, to have the motivation to continue it through was weak sauce compared to Vaas

I remember grinding my way through Pokemon Conquest, having a decent time but also kinda wanting it to reach its conclusion. I get to the end of the main campaign, scroll the credits, and then it tells me on next boot that there’s now some more content to play.

“Oh cool, a postgame,” I thought.

No. There was not a postgame. There were something like eighteen new campaigns to play.

To a certain kind of person this must’ve felt like Christmas morning. I put the game in a drawer and didn’t turn it on again out of sheer intimidation.

I’m late to the thread but am I understanding this correctly? The issue is gaming on a Linux or non-windows pc, right? Also, the general sentiment in this chat room is to not buy the games requiring windows, right?

Are you all high or just idiots? What cinpany is going to give a flying fuck if 1% of their customer base stops buying. 100% of all Linux gamers would have to commit to even make the 1% dent. 🤣🤣🤣

derpgon,

Not, the problem is that kernel level ACs are a security and privacy risk, a violation of what I do and what I am willing to share, and a bullshit way to enforce fair play. They already suck at detecting cheats, it is a cat and mouse game, and the mouse has always been ahead.

Next thing is they will require for me to stream my face, hands, and feet to ensure I am not cheating…

I wasn’t buying their games because they suck.

Anti-cheat was way down the list of reasons. It’s not like even on Linux that there’s a drought of games to play.

I guess they just can’t handle Team Fortress 2.

You mean like the “multi-million units sold” Linux based Steam Deck?

JTskulk,

No, you’re not understanding it correctly. The issue is that kernel-level DRM is a terrible thing on Windows, the fact that it doesn’t work on Linux is also a side effect.

Pokemon Silver. Beat the Elite 4 and surprise now you get to go back to Kanto.

There us no need. CrowdStrike was such a disaster for Microsoft that they are already on the path to locking down the kernel. Noboby but MS will have kernel access eventually. Give it a few years (and 1-2 Windows versions)

Apple has already done the same with macOS 10.15 Catalina in 2019. No more kernel extensions = much better kernel-level security

This will become the industry standard

I finished "The Return of the Obra Dinn", an absolutely great puzzler. I really loved it. Anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes style deductive reasoning should give it a try. And the art style is really unique and beautiful.

I also finished "Conarium". It was... meh. It's got the Lovecraft vibe down really well, but it's not much of a game. More of a walking simulator / visual novel. The few puzzles are very easy. Luckily it's also very short.

Right now I'm trying to get the hang of "Astroneer" which has been a lot of fun so far (20-ish hours in)

Recently got back into "Colony Survival", I've played it a few years ago and I'm surprised about how much the game progression changed since then and how many new mechanics were added. Even the way you progress has changed

Now that Stop Killing Games is actually being taken seriously

600k signatures to go. Link for EU citizens.

New factorio dlc felt comically long, and yet I’m having to force myself not to make a new save.

toddestan,

I’ve been wanting to play that. Considering it already takes me something like 30-40 hours to launch a rocket in base game, I’m anticipating that getting through the DLC is going to keep me busy a while.

CrabAndBroom, do games w What game surprised you with their length?

Untitled Goose Game, but the other way. Got to the end of what I assumed was the first world, but it turned out that was the entire game.

Still a good game, but if I’d known I would have waited for a sale or something.

I do not want games which “nearly do this” in your opinion

Do not want replies like “there’s no such thing” because there are. I know of one game which nearly does this completely

🤭

But seriously, here’s my recommendations.

Doom Eternal, commonly on sale for under $10. I only play the single player campaign. I’ve played through this game well over a dozen times and I love every minute of it. I can’t get enough of it.

Cave Noire, for Game Boy, only released in Japan. It’s a turn based, randomly generated roguelite, played in bite sized dungeon challenges. I never knew a turn based game could get my heart pumping so hard! Every time I finish a stage it feels so good and is so fun I need to stop and tell someone about it. 🙂

The new Indiana Jones game which is fantastic

chloyster,

Been super excited to get back from my trip to be able to play this!

Anissem,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s really superb, I can’t say enough, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Don’t skip the side missions, they’re great too. I was sad to leave the Vatican. Let’s hope they continue to make these new Indy games!

DdCno1,

Just make sure you have GPU that can do ray-tracing, since it’s one of the first games that requires hardware support for this feature. If it can, the game will likely run very well and look just as good.

chloyster,

Yeah with my 3080 I’ll be able to run it pretty well I think. Unfortunately I can’t do the full ray tracing since it only has 10gb of vram :/

I believe it needs a minimum of 12 for full ray tracing

EveningPancakes,

There’s a modified .exe that will allow you to enable full ray tracing on a 10gb 3080. I tried it last night and it worked pretty well, getting between 40-70 FPS on the area under the Vatican and the sequence going to Ciaro. You just have to set DLSS to performance and the texture pool to low (note, this doesn’t mean that textures will be low quality, just the cached amount is low so you may see some pop in at times).

Here’s a thread (sorry it’s reddit) that includes the download - reddit.com/…/indiana_jones_and_the_great_circle_p…

chloyster,

Oh awesome, I’ll check this out. I’ve been playing the last couple days and the game really is good. Been running it great without rt and am almost done with the Vatican

Epic gave Celeste to me for free & oh boy it’s one of the best games I have ever played. Also got Ocmo on ios for free & it’s an incredible game.
