vividspecter,

I think they probably do care, but they just haven’t got around to strong-arming them yet. There’s still more emulator devs to harass after all.

vividspecter,

It’s just more visible since downvotes and upvotes are shown separately. On the old site, that hasn’t been the case for years.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' (www.tweaktown.com) angielski

I’m genuinely shocked how much Epic poured into the store and it still lacks so much basic features. Sorting games is still extremely barebones, store is filled with NFT/crypto garbage, the store still looks like a college student’s first front-end project, and last time I used the launcher to pick up free games (last year),...

vividspecter,

No official Linux support, which means no Steam Deck support as well. Yes, there’s Legendary but I shouldn’t have to jump through those hoops.

vividspecter,

It gets even weirder, as the US only got FF1, FF4, FF6 originally and the latter two were renamed to FF2 and FF3 when they were localised.

vividspecter,

The followups do usually come, just later. It’s more like the GTA double dipping strategy where they get console users (and impatient PC users who buy a console) then PC users, both often paying at full price.

vividspecter,

I’m considering Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but I reckon it has a decent chance of ending up in Humble Choice so I may wait for that. Definitely a game I will enjoy, but I have a big backlog so eh.

vividspecter,

By that logic all emulators in existence are piracy tools. In which case how brazen or not they are is irrelevant.

vividspecter,

I guess you could also argue it’s “sketchy” in the same way, but source code is just source code: it can easily be hosted anywhere, and is probably only marginally more risky than a fork adding malware and hosting it on github. Oh and for the record, sourceforge is pretty much legit again, and has been for a number of years.

If they do end up surviving I would expect it will happen quietly on a self-hosted git instance which will eventually become known as the official repo. But yeah, certainly there is a higher risk of malware and shadiness happening for the forseeable future.

vividspecter,

I’m hoping the rumoured Deckard is actually a thing, as that will likely be the closest thing to an open source headset.

vividspecter,

Agreed, although I believe features like WMR don’t work with LTSC without additional effort, so something to be aware of for those with VR headsets looking to migrate.

vividspecter,

The problem is those headsets flat out stop working in newer Windows releases. I’d actually prefer if WMR was just a driver + SteamVR/OpenXR shim, but you need the whole thing to use it.

NVidia Shield For Streaming Steam Games Opinions? angielski

I really get fatigued sitting in my chair playing steam games, I almost pulled the trigger on one of these the other day with the intent of installing moonlight, and sunshine to stream to my TV. Anyone have any opinions? I saw there’s 2 versions, does it make sense to get the pro version? Can I use my PS5 controller on it?...

vividspecter,

A used minipc could also achieve this, potentially with less cost then buying the Shield.

If you’re planning to use paid streaming apps with it too, that’s a different story and probably worth it.

Or you could even go the long HDMI cable + USB route.

vividspecter,

This should be grounds for a refund if they are adding it post release.

vividspecter,

Utawarerumono series. Visual novels with pretty straight forward srpg combat.

What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises? angielski

What I mean is… sometimes people are very loyal to a videogame franchise or a company because they loved a game they released years ago (Silent Hill/Konami with Silent Hill 2, Blizzard/Bethesda with their respective golden eras, some could argue this happens too with Pokémon and Final Fantasy, etc). Ethical/consumer reasons...

vividspecter,

Its single player campaign is well regarded too if relatively short.

Portal 2 VR mod gets an early release (www.gamingonlinux.com) angielski

Still one of the best puzzle games ever made, Valve’s Portal 2 now has a community-made VR mod available in the early stages that’s already quite impressive. The mod works, although it’s certainly a little rough around the edges with various bits not quite hooked up yet. Even so, it’s impressive what modders are able to...

vividspecter,

A DAC is just a USB sound card (unless you’re using optical in). But yeah, USB drivers tend to be more reliable since they are generic and usually not written by idiots.

vividspecter,

There’s a case for low latency wireless headphones, and it’s pretty gaming specific. But yeah, they don’t need the branding or any of that.

vividspecter, (edited )

Only if the DAC includes those inputs, which isn’t the case with all models. Of course, a DAC could also not include a USB input too, but that’s uncommon these days.

vividspecter,

Are these still cut down releases based on last-gen console versions? That seems to be the historical trend with EA PC ports.

But even if not, that price is still high.

Where are all the good stealth games?

I’ve been trying to find one throughout the Steam summer sale and come up dry, and now I’m out of money until the 15th. Hopefully y’all can help me find a good one before the winter sale. Here’s a rundown of what I’ve tried so far and what I’ve liked and dislike about them:...

vividspecter,

I’ll add Desperados III for a Western spin on Shadow Tactics.
