I still see it semi-frequently, but more because I don’t use my computer as much and it’s usually off. So after a week of non-use, Steam has often accumulated enough updates to necessitate a reboot.

It is still not nearly as frequent as new Nvidia drivers needing a reboot, though.

The “you died” text on it makes me wonder if it was some kind of special Dark Souls thing. But I don’t remember any special Dark Souls release on Xbox.

It could have been custom made back when they were doing that if you bought directly from MS. Not sure if they still do that, but I rememeber it being a thing back in, I think, the XB360 days.

I dunno… I kinda think it’s actually more genuine? More honest? It’s early access because it’s not feature complete, and all the major milestones are just making it closer to completion, and generally are not charging for them. Using new features to advertise the uncompleted game makes sense, because maybe it wasn’t ready for some users in the first few iterations, but after a few milestones they might feel it’s worth it to jump in.

Meanwhile, a AAA game will label itself complete, then sell you things that they had planned right from the start of creating the game bit by bit, claiming they are extras. It’s not like they just spur of the moment designed and made them after release. They were already working on it when they released the base game.

The only game where I ever found this to be cool, is the one where you literally do that to see because you’re playing as something that has no eyes and has to use echolocation.

It did that in a myriad of ways too, not even just the wind. Foxes take you to shrines, there are flocks of birds that indicate haiku spots, and golden parrots that lead you to pretty much any of the POIs you have not yet found. There is even an outfit that comes with a firefly that glows when you’re nearby certain rare items.

I absolutely love it.

It would be rad af if you could not only run Doom off of one of these (because they already run on Windows so it’s probably easy as hell to run Doom on it), but also somehow get the scanner part to use its laser to make one of those holographic keyboards to actually play Doom on it without any external devices.

Gameplay really is about how much agency you have. Visual Novels are usually not games, as plenty of them have zero user agency. You’re just reading a comic book at that point, not playing a game.

I’ve been reading a ton of these things the last few weeks. I can’t bring myself to say “I’m playing these games” over “I’m reading these novels.” Because most of them have had literally no choices to make, or the choices you make have zero effect on anything and are just there as a joke.

Dragon’s Dogma is pretty good at making you both the center of the world and being surrounded by people that want you to succeed with how the pawns constantly talk, and even out in the middle of nowhere, you’ll run into people just walking around between settlements so the world never feels empty, even in places it maybe should.

I remember before the first Fable came out, in an interview or preview of the game in one of the magazines I subscribed to mentioned that you would be able to carve your name into a tree and then see it scar the tree as it aged over time, and even then as a teenager, I was like “bull fucking shit.”

They didn’t even have that as, like, a cutscene. Let alone a mechanic.

If you wish to keep your sanity through the entire game, I suggest only doing the really big side quests and ignoring the majority of the others. The game is fucking huge, and it can easily become repetitive doing everything.

With the prices of PC parts these days, you’re not wrong. However, my nearly decade old machine that was only around $600 to build at the time is still working strong with modern games. I just don’t have RTX or DLSS because my GPU was made before those existed; and I don’t even use them on my PS5 because I prefer 60+ FPS to graphical fidelity I can’t even see the difference in.

It’s only bad when the game isn’t a stealth game and also has shittastic stealth mechanics.

It’s worse when it’s the opposite, like Deus Ex: Human Revolution where the game is meant to be played in stealth, but then the boss battles are straight up FPS style shootouts when most players probably didn’t put points into combat skills or armor because they’re supposed to be a sneaky spy.

I honestly think the most egregious bullshit that has to do with stealth is Elden Ring and Sekiro. They have decent enough stealth mechanics, but they also have enemies that straight up don’t give a fuck that you’re in stealth so you’re never actually able to sneak around the entire time. It’s not that upsetting in ER, given it’s not the intended method of play, but in Sekiro you’re a literal god damn ninja who relies on being unseen. And iirc, Fromsoft also made Tenchu; one of the best stealth games of all time.

Because Fortnite isn’t on Steam. Super sure if it was, it would have usurped CS for the top spot.

Keep in mind that Counter-Strike has been a massively popular competitive shooter with tournaments and the biggest pro scene in the West for decades. It’s had years to cultivate its massive following. Most of the other games on the top 10 are babies by comparison to CS’s old man status.

The bug was that it was rolled out prior to when they wanted to roll it out.

They’re definitely gonna try and put ads in there in the future. 😬 Was just comparing experiences with another user here last night about this (they had the ads but I did not) and seeing as they were across the pond from me and don’t even have the hub yet, it’s like they were just testing the waters in a specific region.

I was shocked to find his highest rated movie was Postal. Maybe not that shocked, since it’s actually kinda good. At least, strictly as a comedy; didn’t follow the game at all. But it’s not like the game has a real story, either lol

There are only like 2 or 3 games that can only be played on a PS5 and nowhere else. Exclusives are one of, if not the most important part of getting a console, IMO. Like, why would I get this specific console if I could get any console or a PC and play the same games? I’m either going to get what’s cheapest or go full bells and whistles and build a beefy PC.

Most of the PS5’s exclusive games are actually just PS4 games and don’t even have the enhancement features offered by the PS5’s hardware. If you have a PS4, there’s really no reason to upgrade to a PS5 unless you really wanna play the Demon Souls remaster or Astro Bot. Out of all the games you mentioned, only GT7 (and Retrograde tho I don’t know if that is timed or completely exclusive; they pulled some fucky-wucky with that one) is exclusive. All the others are multiplatform.

That’s also why the PS5 Pro is just dumb. There’s not much taking advantage of the current hardware, and they wanna sell you more hardware to go underutilized ?

It’s gotta have some reason to buy it. If it’s not the price, and it’s not the power, it’s the library. Sunk costs don’t even come into play for someone who is looking to get a game machine trying to decide what to buy.

• Disco Elysium.
• Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 as well as Demon Souls.
• Dwarf Fortress.
• Dark Messiah.
• Diablo 1 and 2
• Day of Defeat
• Dead Space
• Death Stranding.
• Deep Rock Galactic.
• Deus Ex.
• Dying Light

And that’s just what I have in my Steam library ('cept Demon Souls obviously). There’s so many more D games that are also great.

Can you only use the in-game mod browser or something? Put the mod up somewhere else that Bethesda doesn’t control. It’s not like it’s hard to modify DOOM manually by dropping the files in the folder.

Additionally, extend the mod to include the CEO of ZeniMax as a Baron of Hell or Revenant.
