its kinda useless without Voice, TeamSpeak however is making excellent progress. im hoping we just gi bsck to forums and stuff like TeamSpeak and vent.
For the performance issues: Like many UE games (doesn’t even matter the iteration of UE) this one is not properly configured. There are already several ini tweaks up on the Nexus that address this and actually fix the exterior cell performance.
I have no interest in continuing after the first few minutes. Slow, clumsy dialogue (with an AI voice, no less) and you explain nothing. Why add subway surfers? You’ve already got an “avatar” character you could draw in different poses and “animate” to act like talking. That would be far more engaging than this.
Totally fair gripe, and I have the same one with choice trees in most games. I don’t mind little stuff that doesn’t affect the longer game, but holy shit, if choice A or B is going to wildly change the outcome of the game / who I’m dating / if a character lives or dies / etc, either make it super obvious or flat out tell me! I’d LOVE to have a little info icon next to dialog choices that would say “FYI if you choose this option you’re straight up rejecting any future romance with this char” or something. Immersion breaking? who cares! so is save scumming and a ton of other game mechanics. It’s all for fun anyway, I’d rather know what I’m doing and not waste time.
Stuff like this is why I’m struggling to get back into cyberpunk
I love the game but I feel like every decision has some far reaching consequence which is nice that my choices matter but please tell me about this gameplay altering descion
In the end everything that is storage can also be used as memory. You could print it to paper and scan it back in when the cpu requires it (and write a memory interface to do so)… It would just be terribly slow if you don’t use something like DRAM
You can use a ramdisk to use memory as storage. And if it’s volatile memory just be sure to never power it down. Ignoring the applicability of it of course.
Wildstar! It was the best playing mmo I’ve ever seen. The platforming was neat, the world was varied and cool, there was player housing with almost endless customisation! I miss that game.
To cancel something is to no longer do something at a future date. If the game was originally planned to exist in a year but no longer does, that meets the definition of cancelled. The OP question is strangely worded - how can you miss a game you were never able to play?
Raft only truly shines when you play it with friends. Otherwise it gets old real fast. But with a crew of 3-4 chaotic people on board it’s a ton of fun!
Dave the diver DLC is limited in time AND not free…Ouch ! I am glad I have lost interest in the game :)
I am playing 3 games in parallel:
Battlefield 4. Discovered only 2 months ago. The game is 10 years old and the server have, at best, only 2000 people in it😂. But it is great and achievements hunting is fun, quick quick before the servers close !
Control. It feels like “x-files, the game”. It’s mysterious, confusing and after all, enjoyable. The art direction and the fights are great.
Gris, my small game for the evening. Not really started but it’s the replacement for my previous small game The Gardens Between which was …ok. Enjoyable and short.
I found Dave the Diver to be…well a mixed bag. It was so pretty and fun in the first few hours - I live for summer and I’m 100% a beachgirl but then they just threw everything in - hospitality management, farm-y bits, fetch quests. The one section I found super fun (diving) got to be the one I spent the least amount of time in. And then they make what time you do spend down there a scramble to get the bits you need most.
Still, it’s a lovely game.
Between that and DREDGE (in my top 3 Steam Deck games ever) - because they’re both aquatic - DREDGE gets all my votes.
And OMG CONTROL!!! I adore it. The brutalist architecture is sublime, and so is the atmosphere. It really does feel like a beautiful mix of David Lynch, Stephen King and X-Files. I love Remedy, they’re a dev company who keeps on delivering in my eyes :)
That is how I felt about Dave the Diver, was really enjoying the first part of the game and was excited to keep playing but they kept adding more and more shit on top that seemed unnecessary and it just made me lose interest entirely.
It could have been great but turned out to be a bit Meh for me.
Yes the first dives in Dave the Diver are wonderful with the beautiful pixel art.
But I found this game deeply disturbing: you kill the most fish possible to make the most money possible, but not the dolphins because they are cute. I found this game is a perfect symbol of the overproductivism of our era, while the earth is dying. I know it’s just a game, but the fact the game creator are not even aware of the philosophy their game is carrying, left a bitter taste in my mouth.
And yeah, the game is full of FOMO even in their dlcs, and the huge amount of collabs with other overly popular game make me think, in the end, it’s a pure empty marketing vessel. An it’s fake indie !
The irony is that I am a vegetarian who avoids hunting in games (RDR2 for example) but somehow Dave the Diver had me swimming around with a speargun like a mad girl.
Enjoy your coming Steam Deck! It’s incredible to have your PC library in your hands in a very comfortable device! Every now and then I fire up my old ROMs that I backed up back in the day, so I’ve been dabbling with X-Men Legends on GameCube.
+1 for Control. Played it a few years ago and had a wonderful time with it.
Making my gaming space more comfortable. I work at home on my desk, so I’m also often tired of sitting there when I’m done with work. A few months ago, I purchased a projector, which I can use while comfortably sitting in an armchair. Playing games on a 100 inch projector screen just makes them look way more impressive as well, even though my normal screen is technically better in every way. I also play on my couch using my Steam Deck.
Are boycotts really the best solution to stop this epidemic in gaming?
Consumer boycotts very very rarely work. I’ve never heard of a single successful video game boycott.
How can we best prevent these gambling grey markets and the gaming to gambling addiction pipeline?
Lobby for appropriate legislation with your government representatives. We could have legislation that forces companies to transparently show the chance of specific rewards, and even show the money you have to spend on average to get XY specific item. (I think there is already a law like this in the works in the EU?)
One of the major psychological tricks gambling games (including lootbox and gacha) employ is to obscure the true costs behind premium currencies. Once they are forced to remove this, and you are shown that yes, guaranteed acquisition of a single Genshin character will cost you ~300 USD, it might make you do a double-take before you pull out your bank card. (There are many more psychological dark patterns these developers employ, so it wouldn’t be a single miracle solution, unless of course legislation altogether bans random chance rewards buyable with cash.)
Yea just set up a windows 11 pc for the first time and the experience was basically:
It forces you into making a Microsoft account or log in with one, then it told me mine was locked even though I was able to log in fine elsewhere. I had to use the alternate log in method to get in (I know you can make a local account but I already had one set up for this).
Then it tries to force you to “back up from your old pc” which this was an entirely different system so I’m not even sure why I would want that.
Then it tries to convince you to send them a bunch of telemetry while reminding you that you’ll still get ads if you don’t, they just won’t be targeted towards you.
Then it tries to push microsoft office on you.
Then it needs to do updates which took like 45 minutes.
Then you’re finally at the desktop where you get probably half a dozen othe pop ups between windows and the vendor.
Then it’s “usable”
By comparison Bazzite took like 20 minutes to get to a usable desktop and isn’t nagging me about ads at all. I have a laundry list of things still to figure out but so far way less annoying.
There is a workaround for installing win 11 with local account, it’s still horseshit
the fact that they think that just because they still show ads it’s ok in any way shape or form to collect any personal information is insane
don’t forget they are also trying to screen record 24/7 and then store it in the cloud (yes they store it “locally” in you appdata, that they then decided to sync with OneDrive)
Yea, I had a throwaway account already to use for the login so I didn’t bother trying it. They still managed to make it annoying even when I did it their way and agreed it is horseshit.
Agreed.
I DID forget about that. Thanks for reminding me I need to figure out how to opt out (assuming it’s even possible).
