People need to stop fighting in favor of a PC gaming monopoly in the hands of Valve. Shopping at multiple stores is more inconvenient than just getting everything from Amazon or Walmart, it’s still bad for consumers to only have a single source for everything.
I mean… Who is bootlicking a corporation, the guy saying people need to use the alternatives or the ones saying they only want to use one or two options?
Wish you were not downvoted, you are expressing this view civilly. No offputting insults towards anyone who maybe has the impulse for convenience enough to post a game here thinking “it would be cool if I could open this through Steam,” but knows in practice yeah it is good there is not a monopoly and they had to get it somewhere else. (Or maybe it just released pre-Steam.) This thread turned from a quick fun discussion into “corporate bootlicker!” “Buzzkill!” really fast and I am not a fan.
Yeah, mostly because it was the first one on the market so people started building their library there and they’re too lazy to use multiple launchers and publishers would rather take the 30% hit instead of going with an option that takes a smaller cut for this reason.
I don’t recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don’t get me wrong, Steam is good but I don’t have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it’s frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn’t.
For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.
I was part of some exploration guilds in World of Warcraft with the aim to explore every inch of the Azeroth, get beyond every instance border and just climb hard terrain even if there was an easier way up.
I like playing games that incentivise stealth as Michael Bay films. Give me rocket launchers and c4. Yeah I don’t have the high score for the level but I will kill literally every single non-vital NPC.
I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard or challenging in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.
Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west. I just roam around and by accident find the missions I’m supposed to do. I also exploit all the enemies, there is a hard lock on where they can walk, so I just stand 10 meter out of the zone and start hitting big enemies for 5 minutes without taking damage.
I think I did that a few times in ZD when I first played. You likening it to Skyrim for that makes sense. The classic “if I stand on this rock, the giant can’t launch me into space”
This is a very mild violation, but I like to play these puzzles: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
…except that I create a custom difficulty level which is quite a step below the easiest difficulty and then I almost rather speedrun the puzzles.
The Rectangles puzzle at 5x5 size has been my crack for the past months and I’m at about 13 seconds now (using my phone as input).
I mean, it’s very casual speedrunning. No one cares about my time, so I actually never timed myself before just now. But yeah, I just like the different challenge of thinking fast rather than complex.
I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.
I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.
