I love almost everything about this, apparently 100h+ in Infinite Wealth was not enough for me. Although, having discovered Like a Dragon only because of their switch to turn-based combat, I’m not sure the brawling is a good fit for me.
I’ll probably pick it up eventually, assuming a new main game doesn’t drop till then.
Edit: Yes, I could use Lutris to launch EA app and verify this game. I know it’s lazy of me, but these little unnecessary barriers are annoying; I will just save my money and spend it on a game that opts to not use them like EA is wont to do. As the company can’t help itself, as it is trying to emulate the success of Steam but falling on its face.
Happy The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 remaster day, regardless, as EA listened to The Sims community at least!
I wasn’t trying to imply anything else to be clear, just wanted to mention that their app on its own doesn’t mean it won’t work. I completely agree otherwise.
You’re fine, I was just stating my own opinion. As it’s true, if I didn’t have such an intolerance to certain barriers to entry…I could get this game to work easily. As weirdly enough, I will spend more than 10 minutes looking for obscure repositories to add in order to make something work (like Vintage Story, I needed an older Fedora 39 repo of .NET 7 to make the game run) even if a Flatpak exists. ROFL
I’m just a silly sausage, I took zero offense…If anything, my initial comment was too speedy and needed more consideration before posting it!
It’s all good, I didn’t take your reply as a negative. It would be awesome if we could play anything with zero issues but we can’t always be this lucky I’m afraid (though I’m all for heckling big corps about DRM).
As long as we consistently don’t buy their intentionally compromised products…It’s been shown that companies will relent. Like Sony did recently with their PSN requirements for certain games, as the hostile feedback was hurting sales. I will continue to heckle those big corps myself, until they kowtow! It’s a boss battle, but they only have so much HP, Chip Damage is a successful strategy.
Does the Sims 2 include all the downloadables from The Exchange? The downloads from Sims Store? The downloadable pre-order bonuses? The downloadable Christmas pack?
So you bought a real physical pizza at pizza hut. Printed on every box at the time was a code. You went to pizza huts website, put in the code, and the page allowed you to download a file. When double clicked, the file modified your sims installation.
So now when you played the sims, before your sim could order a pizza for $40. But now there was another option. “Order the Bigfoot from Pizza Hut.” Which cost $19.99 + sims tax $0.01"
The sims tax was because in real life the BigFoot was $19.99, and they wanted to advertise this, but the game wasn’t programmed to handle decimals in sims 1 money.
Then when your pizza was delivered, it had the same properties as the regular pizza to your sims hunger. But the box was a rectangular box, and made to look like the real thing, which was rectagular box with square slices. The pizza delivery guy was wearing a pizza hut uniform.
And if your sim holds a $40 pizza, the slices are triangle. If they hold a bigfoot pizza slice, they were square.
And the other difference was the $40 pizza, your driver took like 20 seconds to arrive (which was like 40 minutes in game time). A pizza hut driver showed up instantly (which still meant like 10 minutes in game time).
Now here’s the coolest part. The Bigfoot pizza was created by pizza huts senior director of marketing. But you know him better by name as Reggie Fils-Aimé.
I can’t find any evidence that Reggie also was reaponsible for the sims content…but…come on. He created the BigFoot pizza. This content was just marketing for the BigFoot. It’s Reggie. Hkw is this NOT his idea, right?
I’ve tried to like these games so much since the first one came out back in the day. I’ve played all of them, multiple times but can never go last one hour. I don’t get it. I should like these games!
As a casual sims enjoyer, it genuinely does feel like they’re salty people liked Sims 3 more than Sims 4 and won’t release an “everything” version of it.
I don’t think they’ll remove the Ultimate Collection from people’s libraries. The main incentive to buy is… well, the ability to buy the games and the improved compatibility with modern systems - UC doesn’t really affect the main demographic, i.e. people who aren’t interested or knowledgeable enough to fix those issues on their own.
Me, thinking I can probably give them feedback I hope they listen to, having played Battlefield since 2142 and Modern Combat (the mod):
EA: There are 200k users in line ahead of you
Well I guess they must not have wanted my feedback anyways? Probably they’re just looking for fake positive feedback to stroke their ego as they move in to ruin yet another Battlefield title.
Battlefield players are similar to most other gamers, really. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. We love playing a game with the same formula, as long as the formula works. Bad Company 2 and the games that preceeded it worked. BF3 worked. BF4 worked after they fixed it with numerous patches. BF1 was the beginning of the downward trend, for various reasons. Some people may have liked BF1, but there is no denying that it was very different from BF4, and many users chose to stay on BF4, even to this day. Lots of people playing BF4, at least on PC. I almost always have to wait in a queue to join a server, and once I join the server is consistently full at 64 players.
They could literally recycle nearly the exact same gameplay from release to release, making new maps, minor adjustments, and changing the setting / graphics, and Battlefield players would be happy. Its crazy how they have managed to mess this up so reliably.
I’m not sure having a rate limit on signups means anything for what kind of users they’re looking for. The site was actually down last night probably from the sheer amount of traffic hitting it.
But otherwise yeah I agree, BF:BC2 and BF3 were great, BF4 was ok but I never liked how the guns felt as much. I hope BF6 is essentially an update to those which the trailer does pretty much show so far.
I am nearly certain it is getting botted. No way that many people want to get in for Battlefield Labs just to tell DICE how to make a game. Its been consistently over 200k since about an hour after it opened.
BF4 guns felt great except when your opponent was using a shotgun. The bullet drop on long rifles was nice and predictable, even if it was unrealistically strong. But the long rifles themselves were powerful too. I was the biggest fan of Assault class weapons, but I ended up always playing Engineer and using PDWs because vehicles were so massively overpowered and if you were any class other than Engineer you were basically dead if you were in an area with no cover and a vehicle saw you.
Playing against a helicopter whore with a 245 kill streak is not fun. Especially when small arms fire does nothing to the helicopter in the game, but in real life the thing would have been demolished by small arms fire. Im not saying it needs to die in a single RPK mag like in BF Vietnam, but at least give players who play any class except Engineer some options.
