I recently set up a Xbox 360 emulator using Xenia to play all Gears of War games in my PC, and had a lot of fun setting things up (Xenia is way harder to set up than any other emulator I’ve used): patching, tweaking and testing stuff, modding some files, and obviusly playing.
Lots of fun playing, and the games have aged pretty well, IMO.
Yup. As I recall it was kind of a school-wide effort, with kids relaying solutions of various puzzles to each other until we had enough to complete the game. I do recall working out the Babelfish puzzle on my own, though I also neglected to feed the dog at the beginning of the game soft-locking myself on at least one playthrough.
That was the most frustrating part of the game- finding out that you should have done something else ages ago and now you can never finish even though it let you keep going.
Unfortunately am hitting some hard lockups in the last chapter or two on Deck so have put it down for now - seems to be a common issue based on some forum posts and ProtonDB.
I played through Portal Reloaded just before this which was excellent too, the puzzles are SUPER hard though, way harder than Revolution.
Yeah it does. Apparently running in Windows under Proton is less problematic but performs a lot worse, so I didn’t bother. I’m sure it will get fixed, guessing the end of the game probably just isn’t as well tested as the first 80% because that was pretty flawless
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic had a lesbian character, with a fully developed romance with the player. Devs were forced to nix it, still there but requires a lot of work to unlock. First gay character in Star Wars canon, although I guess Disney owns our imaginations and that doesn’t count anymore.
Jade Empire is another BioWare title that you can be gay in - if you play as a man, there is a male romance option which basically requires a guide to do right. He won’t give you a hint there’s an option until you actively piss off every female romance option.
That was gay gaming until the 2010s. We couldn’t get married until the Sims 3.
Yeah, Hollywood pandering is annoying and most of the time hollow. “The henchman from Beauty and the Beast is gay now!” But being able to make my Skyrim dude marry another Skyrim dude is great. I was early in transition when the Dragon Age with a trans guy came out - in a world where I was this alien in-between thing people didn’t understand, having this world where I could be normal was wonderful. Heck, Old School RuneScape upgraded their quests so you didn’t have to change your character to female for a quest and could be gay - I cried like a silly idiot.
Video games are escapism and queer people deserve escape too. There are enough stories for everyone.
Yeah, and Fox News went on for weeks about how horrifying the sex was. Mass Effect letting you be queer was a Big Deal at the time - even more so than the het soft core porn that was in God of War.
One of my favorite games makes no mention of the main character’s gender, and the main character is always depicted in an outfit that is a sort of cross between a spacesuit and worker’s coveralls. And it doesn’t make one bit of difference in the game.
This picture fits the comment so well. A calm person in a red flamboyant suit with makeup right next to an emotional but overall average person going on a rant. Well done.
I am playing Kirby: Forgotten Land and the puppy enemies are everywhere but I don’t want to kill them. Sometimes, they are asleep and I just leave them alone.
My party takes a lot of extra damage in encounters with both animals and people. We’ll just absorb animal attacks while focusing on their handlers in the hope that killing them will cause the critters to disengage.
