SheeEttin, do gaming w Super Mario Wonder's online multiplayer may be disappointing, but we have already witnessed that the alternative would be far worse.

Bullshit, there are already multiple games on the Switch that use rollback. I’ve never benchmarked different methods, but I doubt it’s that resource-intensive. We’ve had implementations for decades at this point. The Switch isn’t significantly less powerful than CPUs from old PCs that ran games with rollback. If anything, it’s more powerful, due to advances in CPU design and having a separate GPU.

It’s all about that Japanese yen. If Nintendo can save ¥100 here or there, they will. It’s disappointing, because it feels like they miss so many obvious ideas as a result, though.

T0RB1T, do gaming w What's wrong with the Saints Row reboot again?
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.

It’s “free” on PS+ right now. I would wager that’s how OP is playing it.

Makes sense. Only consoles I have are the switch, and the best console (because it’s not a console), the Steam Deck.

HawlSera,

I bought it on Steam actually

Damn. Lost an imaginary bet 🤣

HawlSera,

Agents Of Mayham is a great game, sadly I think what killed it was its horrible optimization

HawlSera,

Fortnite is basically “FOMO: The Game”

hottari, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?

Can’t get enough of x265. The size to quality ratio is very good and all my hardware supports it.

hyper,

I know right! I was confused when I first encountered x265 files because I thought it was too small lol.

squaresinger, do piracy w What are the ways to play minecraft offline (single player)?

UltimMC is good. It’s a fork of MultiMC that allows playing without account.

theshatterstone54, do piracy w PlayStation 4

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.

copolymer__,

Thanks!

Is there any particularly good guide I should use, or just what I find on ddg?

svamp,

I have found Modded Warfares videos quite helpful for jailbreaking.

I use MullvadVPN and have no issues. In fact you can even pay for it anonymously and it has a cute mole for mascot.

    NMS is amazing to play in VR.

    Wut? Why would you be fucked? I buy games with my VPN on all the time

    HawlSera,

    Arent you not allowed to buy games if Steam thinks you’re somewhere you aren’t?

    Sylver,

    You’re also not allowed to cross the street outside of a crosswalk

    bighi,

    I don’t know if you’re kidding, but that would be a very weird law.

    violetgreendev,

    It’s called jaywalking - illegal in Australian cities actually.

    BeHappy,

    Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

    Floufym,
    @Floufym@lemmy.world avatar

    This is so weird to me. In Belgium, if there is no crosswalk in 20meters, you can cross (and cars a supposed to stop to let you go).

    What do you do if there is non ? You take your car to cross the street ? Or everything is well done and you have a crosswalk every few meters on every road ?

    qwrty,

    Oh, we don’t walk. We drive everywhere, even if our destination is in the same neighborhood.

    Rough_N_Ready,

    In the US it’s only illegal if there is a crosswalk and you don’t use it. If there is no crosswalk, then it’s not jaywalking.

    DeusHircus,

    Also in US, and I suspect many other countries

    bighi,

    I don’t know if something that oppressive is going to be true in many countries.

    Maybe only in oppressive countries like China and the US, and a few others.

    DeusHircus,

    It varies state to state but in my experience it’s a single digit dollar amount fine and that’s it. Only in places that have adequate crosswalks everywhere and rarely enforced unless there’s been chronic pedestrian issues. In US, pedestrians always have right of way. Jaywalking laws are there as a deterrent to protect pedestrians as much as drivers. About the only place I’ve seen jaywalking laws enforced are university campuses. You’ve got throngs of young adults, on their own for the first time, and walking around everywhere in busy urban environments

    potatobro,

    I’ve never heard of that. Pretty sure even if they cared about that for some reason, there would be nothing they could do about it. What are they gonna do, take you to court? They can’t prove you weren’t in the Netherlands.

    electrogamerman,

    That would be very easy to proof actually (Not that I think Op did anything wrong or that steam would care)

    tomi000,

    How would it be easy? Please elaborate how steam would go about investigating OPs private life around the day of purchase and gather actual proof of them not going to the netherlands.

    The reason you set a steam shop location. If it’s longer term it may be beneficial to change the region but usually you can let it be whereever you want.

    Beyond All Reason (RTS)

    Rentlar,

    Beyond All Reason is really cool! Had a lot of fun with it wrestling with the AI and teaming up with my friends.

    It’s scratching that Starcraft itch while I tap my fingers waiting for Microsoft to kick Bobby Kotick out of Activision-Blizzard lol.

    neelmor,

    I can also recommend Beyond all Reason. If you ever played Supreme Commander, this game is like a sequel. It also has an active YouTube streaming community with tutorials and ingame are some scenarios to teach you about the various units and strategies.

    As an MMO, what is the gameplay loop currently? Doing quests or raids or pvp or just sandbox?

    Luella,
    @Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I’m not all that far in the game, but it seems progression revolves around crafting. Killing enemies and mining for materials to make various armours and weapons to take of harder dungeons.

    I don’t believe there are quests or pvp yet unfortunately, but it still ends up being fun despite being a highly ambitious game truthfully barely scraped the surface of its ambitions yet.

    Still, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

    I’d go steam, they games probably drm free on both and steam has a Linux client and cloud saves and workshop

    Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

    @elscallr@kbin.social avatar

    I'm absolutely loving it. I love that I can pace the game myself thanks to the turn based design, that my actions have consequences, that it's a proper role playing game.

    I'm about 30 hours in and it's fantastic.

    SkepticElliptic, do gaming w Backwards compatibility is the best feature of Xbox, and I don't understand why Sony is so far behind on this

    It’s because backward compatibility would cannibalize the sales on new games. Same reason Nintendo limits releases of old games. If you have an extensive back catalog of games, then new games are less appealing.

    ghostalmedia,
    @ghostalmedia@beehaw.org avatar

    Or you do what MS does. Put the old games in your subscription service. Make money with monthly fees from people who don’t have the disks or don’t have an optical drive.

    SkepticElliptic,

    Part of the issue with buying an x-box is that there’s a limited catalog of games and very few exclusives. MS has to offer something more than just new games. PlayStation is the dominant gaming platform globally and has been for a long time. They want people buying new games at $70/ea. They don’t have to incentivise people to come to their platform as much.
