ampersandrew, do games w Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The settings targeted on PC typically far outstrip what consoles can do. I’m targeting modest settings that are still better than what a console can do in those blockbuster games, and it still runs better than on consoles. They just don’t scale as well as they should when you continue to crank the settings up.

ampersandrew, do games w Limited Run has asked Nintendo to pull Gex Trilogy from the eShop as it doesn’t work on Switch 2
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Gex was an important part of that era in video game history, and every game deserves to be preserved.

DMC2 isn’t even atrocious. It can often just be bland. 3 and 4 stand way taller than 1 and especially 2.

ampersandrew, do games w Embracer has reduced its workforce by over 1800 people in the past year

Wasn’t he fired? Or “stepped down” 9-10 days ago? That’s like the public company version of being fired.

ampersandrew, do games w New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates"
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It will be valuable information when we have more data points to compare it against later. The console’s high initial sales may very well have little to do with anything except how many Nintendo had available, for instance. It could do Wii U numbers (unlikely), or it could be a mega success, or anything in between. The third party sales might be reflective of the fact that the games are all older and available on other platforms, or it could be that customers are strapped for cash after a higher console purchase price, or any of a number of other reasons. I would just encourage people not to make a narrative out of this yet.

It’s really too early to extract much of anything out of this.

I think this was a misunderstanding on my part based on exactly which text you quoted.

What bugs do you run into? I just click on the store button, and it basically is just a browser.

But since you have the option to play without the client, they can’t and don’t use it to restrict refunds.

ampersandrew, do games w 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I would put good money on this being closer to Excite Truck in the public consciousness a few years from now rather than one of the most successful games of all time. So no, it’s not bold to think that Drag X Drive isn’t going to supplant Rocket League.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

First and foremost it’s bold to put this out before Drag x Drive releases which is just weird enough to become its own thing.

That’s cute.

GOG’s? Which part of it?

You boot up Heroic, you point it at your GOG account, then you go to the clearly labeled Wine Manager in the left panel. Choose the latest Proton-GE (Glorious Eggroll fork) or a version of your choosing. Then go to library and download the game you want. It will prompt you to choose a Wine version that you’ve already got installed, and it seems to detect the ones you have installed via Steam and via their Wine Manager; I recommend sticking to Proton-GE. The installation process for each game works much the same as any other launcher you use.

If you want to try the game on GOG first, they have a 30-day no questions asked refund policy, since they can’t exactly track how many hours you’ve played. It’s just kind of on the honors system that we’re not abusing it as customers, or maybe if you do it too much. Most games just work, but I have found the odd exception. For some games, like The Thaumaturge, I had to run Winetricks to download some VC++ runtimes to get it working (which I was only able to deduce based on the depots visible on steamdb.info). I nearly bought a copy of The Alters today, but early reports on ProtonDB are that it’s got some crashing issues, so between Valve and GloriousEggroll, I figure that problem will be solved in the next couple of months.

The refund policy on GOG is so good that you can just try it first and buy the Steam version instead if it doesn’t work out. The 10% referral code that benefits Heroic shows GOG how much of their customer base are on Linux, and it should enhance the Linux experience via funding at the same time.

It’s got a controller semi-friendly interface, so it’s better for the Steam Deck, and it isn’t so much running compatibility scripts but just leveraging APIs inherent to each storefront to download and install the same way that GOG Galaxy does, more or less. It’s got achievement compatibility and beta cloud save support.
