There usually aren’t many complaints of something being woke if the product is actually good. I think the main takeaway is that nobody wants to be lectured, and told they are wrong for having a different opinion, and amateurish writing can easily come across as preachy or being a self-insert.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate games.

I wanted to play this, but not enough to interact with their launcher and Denuvo.

bread,

True, but even through Steam, you’re still dealing with Ubi’s launcher and Denuvo, so it’s just adding another layer on top.

PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off (www.ign.com)

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…...

If you’re coming from Windows, something that runs KDE Plasma will feel very familiar.

Hell yeah. I went with Kubuntu because I figured it would be easy for a beginner to troubleshoot eventual issues, given the amount of asked-and-answered Ubuntu queries online.

Inaccuracies, both historical and caused by a general lack of research. Stolen assets that they have no right to use, some of which could be considered culturally insensitive. Differences in the English and Japanese “apology” letter which make it seem like they’re disregarding the Japanese, or attempting to turn the rest of the world against them. General lack of polish.

You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.

I really doubt they’ve got an IP lock in place; just set up a Family and invite your siblings and in-laws.

Edit: tried it with a buddy, and it is in fact IP locked; he was unable to join until I set up a VPN for him to connect through. After initial setup, you don’t need the same IP address.

A lot of toothless game bloggers afraid of biting the hand that feeds.

I’d had this game on my wishlist for quite a while, and I also picked it up during this sale. Among rhythm games that aren’t based around specific peripherals, i find this one of the most tight, well-playing ones, and I’d encourage anyone with even a little interest to check out the demo.

You do hit notes, but not all of them. The “dots” just need to be lined up, whereas “bars” require a button press as well.

I don’t know whether it is the case, but it could be because those places have fewer English speakers, so they’re more difficult to reach.

Good immersive sims are few and far between. I’m cautiously optimistic.

The potential legislation would be specific to the EU, but that doesn’t really matter; this market is large enough that it would directly affect other markets. Either the games are patched for all territories or others will make the EU-specific build available. One option generates positive press, the other negative, and any difference in cost would be negligible.

There’s also the argument of preserving art.

bread,

No chance. There could be a few exceptions, but there’s no shot that would have any amount of widespread adoption.

Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow (www.eurogamer.net)

Finally, on 27th July, Blow noted the “whole industry is having a hard time” and then, when asked how many of his development team are working on the compiler for programming language Jai, Blow replied: “None, because we can’t afford to pay anyone because the sales are bad.”...

From a Steam review:

The game was advertised as having 40 new levels, which at first glance is sounds engaging and interesting, until you find out most of those levels are programmer/beta/alpha stages. It’s not entirely new content, but rather going through iterations until you arrive at the level as it is today. While interesting, it does feel disingenuous to advertise this as a new level. When I hear braid has a new level, I think “There’s one more puzzle piece”, but that’s not the case. You are not rewarded with anything in game, but instead receive some occasionally insightful commentary. In total, there are around 14 actual, new puzzles.

Seems like everybody forgot about the HD release. It was good, and the only reason I haven’t played it a third time is because I don’t want to set up the console for it. Hopefully this new version won’t be too bogged down with Ubisoft crap 🤞

Their anti-cheat implementation could definitely use some work. Either that, or just give players the option to disable chromatic aberration, use ultrawide etc. I played the entire game offline, with the exception of a few specific spots. Sucks.

Not paying much attention to early access titles didn’t pay off here. I was unaware of the game until today, and would like to play it, but the dealbreaker is the price; I would pay what they were charging during early access, but not the current price. Guess I’m waiting for a sale, though that means I’ll very likely just forget it exists again.

bread,
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

Without being able to try a demo, that price is more than I’m willing to pay for this, yes.

bread,
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

I have not, no. I don’t typically open the store page unless I have a specific goal in mind, in which case I do my business directly, and then leave the page.

bread,
@bread@feddit.nl avatar

Appreciate it. I actually found that out earlier today, and I gave it a shot. Tried it for a bit and uninstalled it, but I now know for sure that I would pay $10-15 for it, and no more.

I’m sure there are many who share that sentiment. I tend to forget games even exist if they’re Epic exclusive.
