Crash Bandicoot was also my first game! I was only around 2 years old give or take. I enjoyed the NES and Sega genesis a lot more until I got a bit older as it was easier to get the hang of.
The second game I saw(but did not play) was tomb raider. It made me cry when the wolves jump scare you in the first level lol.
I haven’t tried this, so can’t really compare it myself, but if we are comparing this to Splatoon (which seems reasonable in terms of appeal if not completely in terms of gameplay), I can already see a difference, and in my opinion a huge problem.
Microtransactions. Very bad case of them according to lots of reviews.
My friend’s dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.
I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn’t know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It’s just a fucking clock.
It varies wildly. Sometimes its Skyrim or Fallout 4, sometimes it’s some strategy game like Cities Skylines (2) or Factorio, or for a while now I’ve been playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 after I found out how awesome the gaming wheel support is on Linux. Latest Doom games have also been great for just venting out.
GDPR and pii reasons most likely. It’s a nightmare keeping track of why certain data is on certain accounts. This can vastly simplify the GDPR compliance mechanisms. If your GOG account is merged with your PR account, there is probably significantly more “sensitive” data (CC numbers, addresses, etc) in the GOG account. This probably exempts some data that either cdpr or gog tracks from deletion or retrieval requests.
But it isn’t a merger, it’s a partial transfer. Your GOG account will still exist, but your CDPR games will be moved from GOG to CDPR.
Exactly what this means is unclear, the email and their online FAQ merely says “online features including Cross Progression and My Rewards as well as CDPR Forums” - it does not list everything that’s being migrated. It could be that GOG will only sell old games, while new games will be on a separate store, or it could be just that achievements and cross-platform scores will be on CDPR while GOG continues as normal. It could also end up being a gradual change with GOG falling to the wayside, and new games (1st and 3rd party) only being sold on CDPR.
Also, GDPR is hardly a reason. GOG is a CDPR subsidiary, and both are based in Poland, which is in the EU. They’re in the same jurisdiction. There’s no real issue with GDPR, even if the two services were sharing data - GDPR allows this for the purpose of providing a service.
I’ve sent a support ticket to them asking for more information.
Separation of data between accounts makes them fall under different retrieval requirements.
As one account, a request for all of the data from that account contains both chunks. Separation of those accounts separates the need to accommodate requests for data from one on the other.
It can also mean that internally they may have a sufficient mechanism that data that was previously identifying to no longer being identifying (breaking userid to data pairings for example) which is sufficient to “anonymize” the data that it no longer needs to be reported or maintained.
When I tried it, the worst part is actually trying to see what’s going on. When you shoot the foam, it builds up little hills of foam over time, which changes the landscape. You can run up on it and whatnot until the other team tears it down.
But what it also means is that you now have these new obstacles you can’t see over or around, so the combat is just hard to keep up with. At least for me.
And I actually thought it’d be more like Splatoon, but in the end here the main game mode is still killing the other team members a certain number of times.
It’s all not terrible, honestly. But it makes me want to play Splatoon instead of more Foamstars.
