Presumably it requires the Steam Overlay, which does have a slight impact on performance (and stability). Though, unless something is really wrong, you’re not going to notice the incredibly small loss of 1fps.
I understand just fine. The only good mobile games aren’t mobile games. They are ports of normal games for mobile devices. Which is a super incredibly small number of games.
And latching onto Gatcha games as a good thing for kids? Might as well get them cigarettes and alcohol too if you wanna get them addicted earlier.
We just need to go back to weird. Games have been some of the weirdest things in media I have ever seen. And I consume a lot of media. Books are certainly weird, but games tend to go a bit further in the weirdness than even Franz Kafka or Harlan Ellison.
Mainstream AAA games avoid weird. They want to appeal to everyone, so they are, of course, getting to a point where they will not appeal to anyone. Indie games still experiment. Or at least work on some really weird ideas… They don’t always work, but definitely are out there lol
The others don’t pass muster because they do have some insane difficulty spikes. These don’t, really. Smough & Ornstein is really the only spike I can think of in the entire DS series and BB actually felt pretty even through the whole game.
Grinding isn’t necessary and there is essentially zero fluff in all of them, tho.
Currently it’s The Finals, though I have been taking a break. I need to fire it back up to see if my biggest issue with it has been fixed… It was the fact that the netcode was garbage and the entire match could be completely out of sync to the point that what you actually see other players doing is nowhere near the reality of what is actually going on in the game.
The dev made a post that they knew about the problem and even identified the cause, but as of the last time I actually played, it hadn’t been fixed yet.
Second place is Crossout. It’s essentially F2P Twisted Metal but you build your own vehicles. The biggest flaw with it is the grind. It takes so much time and rounds played to advance to unlock new parts and earn resources. I’ve been playing for a month and I’m only level 11, and still stuck playing the super basic starting modes until I have enough “PS” to open up the others. 😮💨 I think it might actually be P2W with how other players at the same rank can have full blown mechs while I am still stuck with the shittiest car parts going off the normal, free level of progression.
Then again, it also had ABSOLUTELY NO TUTORIAL beyond the basics of driving your car. It doesn’t explain any of the menus, how to build, how to share, etc. I could just be missing something.
