Boiglenoight,

I think this person means non partisan, because Metal Gear Solid is filled with political intrigue.

Boiglenoight,

Back then I felt like I’d played everything. Fun to learn about games that passed me by.

Boiglenoight,

🎵This how we do-it🎵

Boiglenoight,

I was considering buying this but no longer. Game might be good but vote with your wallet to signal intolerance for greedy business practices.

Boiglenoight,

“What can we get away with?” 👈 Capitalism

Boiglenoight,

Valve can be attributed with saving PC gaming. When people were terrified of buying “digital only” games on this fugly client called Steam—which only had Valve games and a few no name indies—the PC gaming shelves in places like Walmart and EB Games looked like a clearance section. Just a hodgepodge of games in no particular order, worn out looking boxes of new games picked up and put back down, meanwhile the PlayStation and Xbox walls flourished and even GameCube got more love from a merchandising standpoint.

Now we trust Valve with our digital libraries the way we’d trust a bank with our money. They’ve earned that trust, and I can’t say the same for Sony or Nintendo which are happy to charge you repeatedly for the same game. Microsoft actually does a pretty good job of making your old games still playable in some form, so Kudos to them.

So will we be surprised when Epic Games Store goes tits up? No. Will we care when we lose all our games? No, they were all free. Should we support Valve as long as they continue to be the champions of PC gaming? You better if you care about where it goes.

Boiglenoight,

I’ve used GoG. It’s good. Never used Itch.

Boiglenoight,

Is it worth playing on PC today? Or should one start with two.

Boiglenoight,

I started playing each game in my library for about 10 min and then moving on. Some games catch me playing longer but otherwise I check them off as played. With recent Steam sales I’d buy 5-6 games, immediately install them all, and play each right away. Feels good man.

Boiglenoight,

Sounds good. Going to buy.

Boiglenoight,

Finishing doesn’t matter. I’ll play something for maybe a few hours and drive on. It fills fulfilling to me. Better than never playing it. 👍

Boiglenoight,

I’ve been playing since launch. I played a lot last night. I do not see the problems. I play on hard difficulty. I have a good time whether winning or losing.

There are players that take the game far more seriously than I and honestly they make the game more tense than it needs to be. They make it feel competitive, in that if I’m not doing what they think a “good” player should then I’m unwelcome.

I think the vast majority of complaints stem from these players. I lament that another Call of Duty is not coming out sooner so that the community can diminish into relative obscurity, hopefully populated with like minds that view this as a game and not an e-Sport.

Boiglenoight,

I love the flame thrower.

Boiglenoight,

It sounds coy. Money is on crap.

Boiglenoight,

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 were great.

Boiglenoight,

I erased my original reply twice. You’re right, I stopped playing because I found all the cosmetics ridiculous and repulsive.

Boiglenoight,

I had a blast playing with friends and DMZ was refreshing. I wish they’d brought that out of beta.

Boiglenoight,

Fortnite. I was excited for the original game, and amused where it ended up, but it’s not for me.

Boiglenoight,

I mean, the no build mode is ok. The concept of building a fort and defending it Left 4 Dead style, if done right, could be endlessly fun with friends. Each wave would require repairs and more sophisticated builds to take on tougher mobs. But yeah, what Fortnite became never drove me to play it unless friends asked me to.

Boiglenoight,

I never played a Starship Troopers game. Read the book 👍 and saw the movie 👎👎

Boiglenoight,

I’m stuck in 3. Going from 2 to 3 is…tough :)

Boiglenoight,

It feels like they threw Japan’s Hawaii into the mix. And I enjoy the story for sure. That downgrade in graphics, where you can go. When 2 let me enter familiar buildings I was pleasantly surprised.

Boiglenoight,

That sounds wonderful. I’m playing Alan Wake 1 on SD. It looks better on that than my high end PC. Unfortunately I have 3 on PS4.

Boiglenoight,

Man, the SD is amazing. I’ll keep that in mind.

Boiglenoight,

It’s becoming Reddit. Which is what we wanted last year? I know what you mean though. There is a difference between now and then with our community. Probably related to user count?

Boiglenoight,

Toxicity is inexcusable.

Boiglenoight,

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because someone chooses to be greedy doesn’t make it right for someone else to be toxic.

Boiglenoight,

I don’t agree. Being better rather than the same is what makes the difference.

Boiglenoight,

I dig it.

Boiglenoight,

Mani bet this plays fine on Steam Deck. I am going to fire this up today.

Boiglenoight,

Steam Deck or GTFO amirite

Boiglenoight,

I picked this up on a Steam Sale and never played. 😓

Boiglenoight,

Love this game so much. If you’re looking for a relatively chill game that makes work fun, this is one of those. Of course, there’s stress points, such as removing rockets that can explode if you don’t act quick enough.

Boiglenoight,

It looks great. Souls fans are going to be in heaven.

Boiglenoight,

There are so many games to play, it makes no sense to release crap unless you’re in it for making money. Then you can release whenever and someone somewhere will buy it. See MW3.

Boiglenoight,

Those were the good ones.

Boiglenoight,

We had dozens of preorders for Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES. We got 8 copies in at our Software Etc. and did not get any new inventory for over a month. It was crazy.

Boiglenoight,

The Jeff Gerstmann Show, Nextlander, Opencritic. Trusted sources are Game Informer, Gamespot, Eurogamer and IGN.

Boiglenoight,

There’s a lot of room for improvement. The physics change from each major entry, and I’d like to see more realistic inertia to everything, and less floaty. Having to generate speed (or control it) to make a jump or stay on course would change the feel of the game and make things more interesting.

Boiglenoight,

Great suggestion, thanks.

Boiglenoight,

I find myself incredibly frustrated with the reliability of the Konnersport F1 car.

Boiglenoight,

That was awesome. I imagine if I worked for Activision Blizzard, that knowledge of Bobby Kotick leaving plus that welcome video would give me some feels.

Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting? angielski

Over the years, there’ve been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn’t warrant it. There’s no reason for...

Boiglenoight,

“in some form,” being the key part of that. Someone mentioned Diablo 4. It doesn’t have to be always online. Gran Turismo 7 is another example. It’s a trend.

Boiglenoight,

That’s terrible. :(

Boiglenoight,

I absolutely will accept it because it brings better gameplay. FPS games are more fun when there’s constant balancing changes and new content on a schedule. It’s infinitely better than older game models where if one thing is broken you’re stuck with it for the entire lifetime of the game.

How is this different than Valve continuing to patch Team Fortress 2 decades after its release? There’s no Live Service model here.

Being able to run my own dedicated server isn’t even something I’d want to do, nor would I want to play on player hosted servers.

I think that’s true for most people, but a small number of a community can support the vast majority. It would ensure a game isn’t dependent on a company to exist, either.

When games go EoL, sure, require them to open source the multiplayer engine. But really, it’s not a big deal that an individual can’t host a Battle Royale server.

If that was an actual practice that’d be great. There’s no incentive for the publisher to do this, however, and they’re profit driven.

Boiglenoight,

I love Red Alert’s, they’re still funny. :D

Boiglenoight,

Multiplayer games are great. I think the upsetting part is that from the word Go, whether it warrants being a Live Service Game or not, it implies an expiration date and an online-only requirement. When I bought Overwatch, I never heard them describe it as a LSG. Maybe they did and it just didn’t register. What I know though is that having bought 2 copies, one for PC and the other for PS4, I cannot play those games now and in their place is a reportedly substandard product (one I didn’t pay for or ask for).

So now I have this game which I loved and still played occasionally is gone because the publisher made a decision to expire it arbitrarily (read: to get people to pay them more money).

Overwatch could’ve run on player driven servers. Much of this stuff can. That might only serve a few thousand or few hundred people 10 years after launch, but that’s the right thing to do.

Boiglenoight,

I’m grateful for activists, particularly those with a focus on archiving gaming. That’s another area where I think supporting Live Service Games might be shortsighted on the part of the consumer. By accepting it as a practice, ownership is ceded toward the publisher or creator. We’re less owners and more renters when it comes to gaming property.

I remember when I bought Street Fighter 2 for the SNES and realized, I no longer have to go to the arcade to play this game. I no longer have to submit an endless amount of quarters to play what I can play endlessly at home for a one-time fee. It was an amazing feeling. And with LSG it’s like we’re coming back around.
