But see, that’s the thing. They’re just as capable of putting those ads in game too. I definitely would have more visibility on the ads just at the title screen than I would on a launcher I’m clicking through as fast as humanly possible.
Hallelujah. I don’t know why so many companies went down this route, particularly when it’s not the likes of Ubisoft or whatnot with their own desire to half-ass the attempt at making their own Steam. My guess for its removal is to better support Steam Deck, perhaps?
Heh, I’ve seen what feels like a thousand different attempts to represent lockpicking in a minigame, and they’ve always felt like a waste of time at best. In an RPG, your skills on your character sheet determine what you’re good at, so I’ve found it’s more honest to just represent that with a dice roll rather than making you break lockpicks super quickly or something.
If a game is low spec enough to run on a PS4, it typically has a PS4 version as far as I can tell, but maybe there are exceptions I haven’t kept up with. And in order to have a handheld PlayStation that doesn’t require its own versions of games like the Vita and PSP did in the past, the best they can really hope for is a PS4. That’s why this problem seems insurmountable unless they go the PC route like everyone else.
I was quite satisfied with Alone in the Dark. It could have used some polish, but it was delivering more Resident Evil 1 style gameplay in a way that even the Resident Evil series refuses to do.
I honestly don’t know how this is supposed to succeed unless it’s literally a handheld PS4, and even then, the market for that over a Steam Deck is likely minuscule.
This is my question too. Search results turn up Bridgy Fed, but that seems to require the account you’re interested in following to go through those steps, which none of the accounts I’m interested in are doing. At least the Threads POTUS account turned on federation so I can view it from Mastodon, but I suspect for the next four years, that account will be pretty quiet, and if it isn’t, I’ll probably want it to be.
