As a long-time Diablo player (my name is even in the credits of Diablo 1) I can say Diablo IV is thoroughly meh. You're not missing much.

Marketshare, and you have to remember the difference between platform and store. If Epic made them exclusive to the Epic Machine™ then there would be a problem but moving from Steam to Epic doesn’t remove Windows support.

Imagine Target bought Great Value (Walmart brand) and moved it from Walmart to target. Would anyone care?

themusicman,

It does remove easy Linux compatibility. Also you can run any storefront on steam deck, so not sure what your point is about hardware

I like liked the look of Subnautica but because of my thalassophobia I can’t play it. Now I wouldn’t play it anyway after the bullshit that was reported last year.

There’s really nothing like old-school Halo Multiplayer. Love the photos! Reminds me of thr ones I’d see shared on Xbox Live back in the day

Split fiction. It looks solid and my friend and I need more games to play together that isn’t competitive pvp, but we both vote with our dollar and refuse to give EA any more money.

emeralddawn45,

Just get it from an alternative source and play it locally. That’s more fun anyway and far too few games still have split screen coop.

Have you played Grandia II? IIRC you could score bigger hits from behind enemies, cancel enemies attacks etc. depending on the position and timing of your attacks.

_Lory98_,

Haven’t played it yet, but I was planning on playing the first one. It does look fun, so I might try it sooner rather than later.

RPGs in general, but esspecially Fallout. I want to like them. I love games with a heavy emphasis on detailed worlds and environmental storytelling. I love detailed character customization and building. I especially love varied and non-linear games. Despite all of that, I just can’t enjoy RPGs, because the primary loops are always so shallow. Melee is almost always either a matter of spam clicking or timing paries, firearms tend to be just holding left click on mindless enemies as they walk into a choke point, and stealth is either buggy and unreliable or completely overpowered. So much of the game is spent on these weak points, rather than the genre’s strengths, to the point where I just can’t enjoy them.

Would you mind listing some of the ones you’ve tried? Describing melee as spam clicking sounds like you’ve either only played real-time RPGs or didn’t understand the tactics that come with the trade-offs on your character sheet. Fallout itself comes in a ton of different flavors across the series.

tab,

how ahout kingdom come deliverance? combat is a bit more interesting in that series

thatradomguy, do games w Video games, random friend requests, and scammers!

As someone who has been on the Internet for a long time, I have never once thought adding someone on a game platform/social as something risky. If they turn out to be bad, you just block them, no? I don’t understand why something like this needs to blow up in your face. I should say that I am someone who randomly sends invites to players I have played with online, who are strangers, but whom I enjoyed playing with for XYZ reason. I never thought I was committing some kind of crime by doing that but maybe that’s just me. I don’t mind getting random friends requests from people I’ve played yes and yes I have no friends. Go figure.

rollin,

I am a bit of a worrier I guess, & overthink things too much. It’s definitely not a crime to send requests to people just after playing online together, actually I think I should probably do it more.

I also like to get friend requests from randos, it helps you get more involved in the game, especially co-op games like DRG. Plus it’s not like there’s a limit to how many friends you can add.

Before writing this post, I realised I’d given away my DOB - first by saying my age, and then when they correctly guessed my star-sign (!), I told them the day & month. That made me worry that maybe I need to be more careful and so posted this here.

Multiplayer games. I tried Counter Strike a few times, but I just can’t bring myself to like the tempo. I want to play in my pace.

I want to avoid time-consuming games like Dota 2 or Crusader Kings 3…

Bannerlord! Top down strategy when roaming around and managing your troops and or kingdom, real time first person action during battles and sieges with different troop positioning commands.

_Lory98_,

Not really what I’m looking for, but I do remember having fun with the original Mount & Blade when I played it ages ago so I’ll check it out!

Because Valve has more money that someone winning a lawsuit can take from.

hperrin, do games w Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

I’d love to play games like Fortnight, PUBG, and League of Legends (I know, don’t judge me), but they don’t work on Linux, so they’re just a no-go for me. I used to play GTA V Online, but they added kernel anticheat to that too, and now I don’t play that anymore.

I have Windows, but I’m not booting into another partition just to play a game. I use it for compiling my software for Windows users, and that’s already too much of a pain in the ass. I cannot stand Windows. It’s a bloated mess, and I don’t understand how anyone gets any actual work done on it. Just navigating it feels like a chore.

I can’t even play Apex anymore because EA decided Linux players cheat, and therefore, must be categorically banned from playing. All they did was turn off that switch for Proton/WINE support.

rtxn, do games w Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Dead Space 1 remaster. I categorically refuse to give any money to EA (even before the Saudi buyout), and that’s their only game I’m even remotely interested in that isn’t available through alternative channels.

I dunno, killing the idea of ownership of games was pretty bad.

I don’t think any amount of Proton patches submitted is going to bring that back.

Dariusmiles2123,

Apparently a lot of games don’t have DRMs on Steam. The only thing missing is a badge indicating this.

So at least you own these…

merdaverse, (edited )

Yes, some of them can be launched directly from the exe without the steam client, or with some modifications to the game files.

Here’s a list of DRM free games: pcgamingwiki.com/…/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Stea…

Also it’s kind of silly how people automatically blame Steam for this, even though Valve does not force you to use DRM to publish to Steam. It is the developers themselves that chose to add DRM or tie themselves to the Steam API so that the game can’t run without it.

So for example getting Dorfromantik or Citizen Sleeper from Steam or GOG is virtually equivalent in terms of ownership.
