Does Tencent count? Not sure what qualifies as “Game-Focused”, but IIRC gaming is the biggest source of their revenue at least.

I haven’t had an issue with this at all. I’d say over 50% of the time, if I communicate with other players that I don’t intend to kill them, we end up working together.

artyom,

50% is way too low

Yep, went back to Helldivers 2 for some actual PvE gameplay.

I don't know what I can tell you.

I'm one of those patient gamers, where I'm just happy I finally have a machine that can play about 89% of the games I have to throw at it. Moreso happier that it can confidently run PS2 emulation, something I've been chasing for years to have a machine that can do, to own anyways.

I think you just need to sit down and contemplate to yourself what you want out of a machine. It's not a good healthy mindset to be fretting about upgrading all of the time. I mean, you made a huge leap already going from 15 years to what you have now.

Also consider that, there will still be games released that look graphically demanding and everything, but will require maybe a 1060 GPU, just as an example. Probably 8GB of RAM. It's only the AAA stuff that wants everything to be tip-top shape. Don't chase those.

AnchoriteMagus,

This is honestly the healthiest take, there are just a lot of games currently out that I want to play but have no way to.

Space Marine 2, KCD2, Stalker 2, etc etc etc

It’s just been a good year to be a single player gamer, and I wanna get in on it. 🤷‍♂️

tal,

The good news is that single-player games tend to age well. Down the line, the bugs are as fixed as they’re gonna be. Any expansions are done. Prices may be lower. Mods may have been created. Wikis may have been created. You have a pretty good picture of what the game looks like in its entirety. While there are rare cases that games are no longer available some reason or break on newer OSes with no way to make them run, that’s rare.

With (non-local) multiplayer games, one has a lot less flexibility, since once the crowd has moved on, it’s moved on.

mohab,

I played +400 hours last year and most demanding game in my library has a GTX 1050 minimum requirement. There’s much more to gaming than yearly AAA releases.

You're probably best finding RTS games where you are in the roles of maybe rulers and whatnot that oppose US military? it's all I can think of.

It’s an epic game and it’s fun as hell. Just not something for you I guess.

Switching to Bazzite (a Linux Distro, made for gaming). No Ragrets so far

jacksilver,

I don’t think bazzite runs on ARM macs.

tal,

It looks like it doesn’t support ARM architecture systems at all, or anything other than x86_64.

docs.bazzite.gg/…/Hardware_compatibility_for_gami…

Minimum System Requirements

  • Architecture: x86_64
jacksilver,

Yeah, I figured that hadn’t changed, but was too lazy to actually look up the source, thanks for adding it.

However, with box64 you can emulate x86_64 on arm, however I think macs don’t have the gpu integration. Crazy thing is on some phones with snapdragon chips you can emulate games up to cyberpunk 2077 decently well.

Uh… I mean there’s Halo Wars, which lets you play as Covenant leaders in certain modes (in 2 there’s a DLC storyline where you play as the aliens again, but not against the humans). The UNSC is basically the US Army In Space.

Aside from that I’m not sure. There’s probably plenty of mods for other games though. Like GMod, there are tons of NPCs and such in the steam workshop, plenty of US military characters to choose from. You can then load into a map, set up a spawner (or spawn them in yourself), and start blasting. I did actually do something like this back when the George Floyd protests were going on: I went in the game, spawned in a bunch of cop NPCs and just started blasting and mowing them down.

It actually did feel pretty good, tbh.

bearboiblake,

Garry’s Mod is genuinely a pretty good idea, might give that a shot!

Hey I apparently already own this game, lol. So many humble bundle mysteries in here. Guess I know what I’m playing next!

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve had that happen a few times with Humble lol. It’s well worth giving a try, it’s a good few hours too play, especially if you like Point and clicks

The Prototype series.

SkunkWorkz, do games w World's Video Game Companies

lol Ubi. Why are they still treated as one of the big ones? Like Mojang alone is probably way more valuable than Ubi in total. They basically double A now and they should probably focus on double A productions. Also their market cap is even lower today they are a sub billion euro company now.

Play old games, I guess? Arc Raiders is one of the only new games I’ve played in a long time. Recently got an Xbox one to play the golden age cod games.

It sounds like you're upset that a game that clearly put a lot of focus on PvP in its design, has PvP in it. I'm not sure it's fair to blame the game because you expected something else.
