It’s almost comical how incompetent the Xbox BU’s executive management has been for 10+ years.

I am just curious, what makes you say it has aged poorly in terms of gameplay? I would argue it holds up pretty well, but I am also a PC/KB+M only player. I strongly dislike UI/UX that has been compromised (from my perspective) for consoles/controllers.

Agreed regarding the sequels (haven’t played the fourth one, just the 2nd and 3rd sequel); they are OK, but not that special.

I see. Yes, stealth is in a strange position where it’s difficult to use it full time. There are multiple missions/maps where you will eventually not be able to use stealth.

I can see what you mean regarding guns being clunky. They do get more effective as you level up and get better weapons. Early game gunplay is very iffy.

But I actually like the RPG approach to gunplay and how it forces you to try and avoid direct confrontation and use a mixture of stealth and combat.

That being said, these are all fair points.

I’ve actually never tried Revision. I only use GMDX. Should try it for next play through. i feel like I need to reinstall once I clear out a major deliverable for work. :)

Yeah, I can see what you mean by saying guns are chore, it takes some time for them to be effective.

Try one of the mods, they greatly improve things compared for he baseline game (I haven’t played the baseline version in 15 years).

I really need to play it. I am sure I would enjoy it. I thought Human Revolution and even Invisible War (with mods) were decent. Invisible War is fundamentally flawed due to the small maps though.

That’s totally fair.

I’ve played Deus Ex enough times that I sort of enjoy the clunky and RPG progression gunplay.

I am a big user of sniper rifle + pistol combos. It works pretty well.

Will need to post a mini-review of Revision the next time I get to replay Deus Ex.

Chris Roberts is the person behind the star citizen scheme.

I work with multiple languages and I haven’t heard of LLMs being used instead of Deeply/Google translate.

Don’t really see the reason to switch to LLMs.

Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

One would almost think they are having a laugh, but no it’s for real (I don’t think are intentionally trying to come up with such comically stupid naming policies).

The fallout CRT retro-arcade is awesome!

It’s claimed that in addition to exploiting its dominant position, Sony bans other potential app stores from having access to the PlayStation platform.

It would be fascinating if this lawsuit forces Sony to open their platform to 3rd party stores. I am assuming they would be far more opposed to this than even any multi-hundred million euro fines.

Crosswind looks promising, will need to add it to my tracking list.

Those PC88 screenshots! So damn beautiful, they ooze style.

Thanks for this!

That’s a compelling review. I will have to check it out.

I am surprised I’ve never heard of the game before, it’s been out since 2019.

Except for the fact that the CEO wasn’t fired even though he made a comically lazy and incompetent mistake (going on a buying spree before confirming that the investment would go through).

Agent_Karyo, 15 dni temu

I wasn’t aware. He is stepping down, but only after the company will be split into 3 parts.

Funny stuff!

Never heard about this one. Thanks for sharing!

Volunteer PR work (including knowingly spreading misinformation) is extremely common for all fanboys, it’s a Nintendo specific thing.

EDIT: I meant to say it’s not a Nintendo only/specific thing. It’s true of all hardcore fanboys, even outside of game.

This is a long series article on gacha. This is the third or the fourth one.

I can understand using a more broad definition of MMO due to changes in the market.

Diablo 1 and 2 were totally fine. There was no trash monetiziation around them (haven’t played the remaster of D2, so can’t speak for it).

Is the “tool assist” not buying it in the first place? 😅

Agent_Karyo, 23 dni temu

A very good point. :)

I like the graphics on this one. While I am a hardcore logistics/tycoon nerd, I do sometimes enjoy somewhat more casual experiences. :)
