It’s actually Voodoos that I speak of, I had have two Voodoo 2s (12MB versions) in SLI.
I was 1337 like that back in the day, buying top of the line graphic accelerators (I didn’t have that much money, it’s just that gfx cards didn’t cost as much as a cheap but perfectly usable car).
I always downvote any post or comment that complains about downvotes, especially when the commenter claims that downvotes are somehow proving their point. This is probably the only exception I’ve ever made, because you’re right.
I believe Valve’s intention is to lay the foundation for third party devices, like how it went with Steam Deck. Their business model is to open up their storefront to more people - not to sell hardware.
If that’s the case, then Steam Machine will have little effect on indie development.
Oh man, I booted it up like a month ago, I’ve just been too distracted with paradox games to finish lol. Yeah even way back when it came out I was hype to see the series ‘evolve’. Shame it didn’t go the way we wanted
That’s how I am with my grounded run of The Last of Us 2 and finishing Silent Hill f. I started a game of Stellaris and haven’t picked them back up in my free time.
The evolution was disappointing. I didn’t really care for origins but was happy others were enjoying it, and then the ball just got dropped
I think Steam already presents a large enough market to be enticing for indie devs.
A quick check shows that Steam likely has more monthly active users than Xbox, PS5, or Nintendo. I’m sure a large portion of those groups overlap too. So indie devs are likely to develop for PC first.
While I’m excited for what they just announced, I don’t think it will significantly change these numbers.
I was gonna say before reading your last sentence, the Steam Deck definitely could have accelerated this. It’s extremely accessible while doubling as a computer powerful enough for development. It’s pretty great they’re offering dev kits for the new Steam Frame, too. It’s really going to bust the scene wide open.
I liked the game when I played it and I never saw the Haytham twist coming either, I mean until the reveal it themselves. Also don’t remember that sign on his back.
I don’t think I have the stamina for these games anymore. I played Black Flag a few years back but didn’t like it and Black Flag is considered one of the best AC game by everyone.
Yeah, I definitely get that with the stamina. They’re long sometimes. The amount of collectibles they put in don’t help at all either.
I think also my library size makes it hard for me to stick with it. When i was younger i only had like 3 games for the PS3, so my options were kind of limited. I think more options has made it hard to stick to game over the years (plus, life now definitely steals a lot of time)
I guess large library size can be a contributing factor too. I have tons of games in my backlog and not enough time, so prefer shorter and tighter experiences, which can sometimes be difficult since my favourite genre is RPG, but I have lost interest in games that doesn’t respect your time, which is most open world games.
There are always exceptions though, just got a Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima few months back. Though I think that only happened cause a friend of mine was also playing at the same time, so discussing the things he has done or I have done kept the interest going for much longer.
I do agree with you. There’s just too many games that don’t respect the players time. Though, i guess i don’t really have much room to speak while playing a Ubisoft game (they’re the worst about that, especially now).
Speaking of Ghost of Tsushima i’ve been wanting to get the PC version. I borrowed the PS4 version from my local library and played through the whole thing in like 2022 which was fun. Maybe with the next sale. Playing back to back with friends makes games more fun too. Occasionally i’ll go back and visit older Pokemon games with friends and we’ll get this whole little ecosystem setup for trading and stuff.
I was thinking about this in another thread where someone made this joke: With how much stuff Valve does outside of gaming, are we sure they have never done a 3rd iteration of something before? Like, they do business stuff too and are into a ton of random tech related things like BCIs. We only ever really hear about the game related stuff, tho. Or possibly when Gabe gets a new boat since they interview him on it.
