Nobody should ever play the first Lords of the Fallen. Probably one of the worst non-indie Souls games (and I played Code Vein…) with mediocre world building and even worse boss fights. Iron Pineapple has a great video where he basically tears into it and points out why it is bad.
Ah, fair enough, suppose I could have checked that myself. For some reason I thought I remembered the old version being delisted and replaced. Suppose I’m just going crazy.
I played this when it came out because some people were hyping it up. It’s solid and a fun game, but I didn’t feel it brought anything whatsoever to the table that other shooters hadn’t brought 15 years ago. It isn’t even the first free game to provide a similar experience. Not surprised it isn’t a huge hit.
Yeah, that’s the draw XDef has over CoD. It’s F2P and generally the content is earnable, outside of some cosmetics and additional currency. I think both “locked” factions can be bought through challenge completions, so not really P2W either, paying just unlocks it faster. And it’s not a bad shooter either imo, it’s just…the same as every other shooter. Very average.
Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.
That’s another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.
I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn’t much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don’t support Linux/Mac natively anyway.
If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.
No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.
because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.
If everything ran just as well as it would on Windows I would switch too. But I think that will be a long time off, even if developers decided to natively develop for Linux. It seems better than like a decade ago, but development and support is really slow.
That said, I’ve been using W11 for a couple of years and I haven’t run into any ads in my day-to-day office and home computers, I’ve seen others mention ads in Windows too, but I’m not sure where they are. And you could just use a fake e-mail and name for a Microsoft account if you need one for a Windows installation.
I’m not saying everyone should use Windows, but choosing gaming on Linux seems like it’s just people making it very difficult for themselves. Last time I ever tried it was a long time ago, but there were constant hardware issues, driver issues, game crashes and other problems that I could just not be bothered.
The Lutris launcher has helped me successfully play purchased Ubisoft games well. It sucks to rely on third party tools, but that’s much of what Linux is based around.
Ubi’s launcher and EA app, are the only ones that keep forgetting my login info, forcing me to painstakingly go to my email to authorize this brand new device (my own PC) every few weeks.
Not installing your shitty launcher and this game launched with several, basic issues that took too long to fix, they fumbled it so hard! Ubisoft is frustrating, just let your devs cook in peace.
Absolutely not. When the board is looking into it, it’s because they are not returning shareholder value and they are pissed about it. This will likely end with the C-suite being butchered.
Ah yes, I hate being butchered that way, too. It sucks hard to be paid to leave before you get paid extra to start your next job elsewhere.
And don’t get me wrong, if the C-suites actually ever had to take actual responsibility for their fuck-ups, I’d be all for those board investigations. But they don’t. They get paid enough to not care about interims between jobs - just look at the CEO who said people can just spend a year on the beach or so if they’ve been laid off - plus they get paid extra both on the leaving and on the re-hiring.
If they had to pay all non-salary money back on fucking up, even retroactively, no matter how many Porsches they’d have to liquidate to get the money from X years of fucking up the company back, sure. Do it. But that’s just sadly not the case. For a C-suite, this just means changing what name is written under your name, and moving on to the next place you can grift.
Didn’t help that the game got next to no promotion. I don’t even remember how I found out about the game, I think it might’ve been a random game one of my Twitch follows was streaming at the time, wasn’t even a promoted stream for all I know.
The game’s alright, just not the type for me anymore.
It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don’t even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.
You are actually right. I tried this game as a friend liked it, and it basically does everything that COD does, but for free, so it’s not the worst way for somebody to spend their time online. Still, I imagine Ubi execs promised to dethrone every other shooter and have 100 million payers to milk for MTX.
