ShittyRedditWasBetter, do games w I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal

The game was great for from day one.I can’t recall any significant issues. The Xbox one and PS4 stuff was dumb as all hell and shouldn’t have happened but everyone overreacted on the rest.

Taking a photo of a man threatening you at gunpoint seems like a good way to get shot

Already got all the achievements for this game so unlikely I’ll play it but good that they’re still updating

I’m really excited to play with all these changes. I have just shy of 200 hours for 2 playthroughs, and virtually every change they’ve made here seems like it’ll improve things a lot.

Soma is pretty awesome, features a mode where you can't be hurt by the enemies, I enjoyed it immensely on its environmental and story merits while playing on that mode.

platypode, do games w After years of 'good enough' PC ports, Armored Core 6 is the first game in FromSoftware's history truly born for mouse and keyboard

The game just has two too many buttons. I played it on both, and it feels much better on controller. Holding down both triggers to unload twin Gatling guns right into the spider’s pinecone ass is just satisfying in a way that mouse and keyboard isn’t. That being said, the fact that you need six easy-access buttons and constant camera control makes it really awkward/borderline unplayable unless you have a controller with back paddles.

Yeah, I’m loving AC6, but the design decisions that make the game so much better on the KB+M are actually kind of baffling from a console-first company like FROM. I played the hell out of the AC1 games back in the day and while that series’ aiming controls were a joke, the fact that you cycled through your ranged weapons instead of having all 3 accessible at the same time, combined with the fact that the game used only one button for “boost” which covered both jumping and dodging, meant the weapons and boosting actions fit nicely on the 4 face-buttons. Now, AC1’s weapons were very flawed in that there was often minimal reason to cycle through them - they didn’t generally have cooldowns or meters so putting a weapon away wasn’t super useful. Best strategy was a 1-weapon mech, generally. But still, the simpler controls were a lot more pleasant on a game controller.

And author is quite right about how rotation rate has grossly changed the game’s strategy and feel. For example, if somebody got behind you in old AC, the strategy was to get to cover while you ponderously rotate, or to burn energy like a fiend boosting backwards to get them into your cone of fire.

Not that I dislike AC6 - I love the game - but I hope this renewed interest in the AC series will lead us to a simplified spin-off or copycat 3rd-party game that properly fits onto the controller.

I just think there was some good gameplay lost.

But yeah, I’m playing it on KB+mouse, and I’m a PC gamer primarily.

Belgdore,

Have you played daemon x machina?

Yes. Hated it. The flying mechanics were joyless, the plot was tedious, the weaker enemy units were harmless filler, and there were too many overly-scripted fights.

You people want to hate this game so bad 🤣

OK? We’re bored though. The astronauts had other shit to do.

markpaskal, do games w Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'

I have a 4060 TI and it crashes constantly on low. Runs fine between crashes so not a performance issue…

planets are as empty as todd howards soul.

@Syo@kbin.social avatar

If you're the game director and had so little sway to the producers /publishers, then you're nothing but a "yes man" figure head. Maybe go back to dev, the executive role isn't for you.

Otherwise, the only excuse is you initiated all these changes and you are completely out of touch with your customers.

They weren't able to get HYPR-RX out in time, which is just a switch to toggle a bunch of other switches, so I'm only gonna believe it when I see it.

scytale, do games w The 26-year-old Quake 2 just got the remaster of my dreams, plus a big expansion

As someone who hasn’t played games for more than 15 years now, this makes me want to play again for the nostalgia; but I dont know where to start. I only have a macbook and an old laptop running linux. Will the remaster work on any of those? Is Steam the best way to install it?

glue_snorter,

Check out Asahi Linux on mac. Your mac is likely a better gaming machine.

AProfessional,

Asahi is barely functional, it is cool and could be amazing years from now though.

Does it have a “software rendering” looking mode?

I always thought games of this era looked better in software rendering vs those n64 esque shaders
