Absolutely no need for games that are already doing a major advertising blitz to own 4 booths and push small indie devs to the farthest corners of the expo. For many of these indie studios, these expos is the only paid advertising they get.
I’m really excited to see how this year’s Gamescom turns out. I’m attending with some friends of mine because we won tickets for the Trade Visitor Day and the last time I was there was nearly 10 years ago. I’m just a bit worried because it seems that more and more of the big Publishers are skipping events like these and rather make a live stream instead.
Jesse Cox has 5 Minute Gaming News that lists news into little bite-sized chunks that I can handle every weekday. Used to love Jesse on the Cooptional and Cox n Crendor podcasts so I like listening to him.
Also every Friday Crendor is featured on the Cren Minute where he talks about whatever he wants and its the most redundant and hilarious thing to me.
And shoutouts to Lyle Wrath’s hilarious Pregame Discharge show where he lays out the news in an extreme and absurd way. Used to be weekly but now kind of forced to be monthly after Destructoid dropped it.
Yep. Just set it so it launches to desktop instead of BP and you can launch anything from anywhere. There might be some finagling to do with controller input/mapping depending on the game/launcher but it should be fine in most cases.
Steam Remote Play is basically my Remote Desktop these days. Steam Link Box on the TV or Steam Link App from the phone, and I’m golden. It works surprisingly well with very little latency.
Steam and an Internet connection. That’s it. If you log in to the same Steam account on your PC and Phone/Steam Link/Steam Deck/etc, Steam will take care of everything and hook you up seamlessly. It’s worth trying out!
In fact i’d say this is a significant emergent feature that has been overlooked, you can set up a windows box in a dark corner of your house and stream games to your deck/laptop/phone/fridge without worrying about noise or compatibility.
I feel like valve needs to hire a guy to just sit around the office and occasionally go “hey uh, sounds like we could just polish up this edge case and market it as a rather mind-blowing feature?”
The order comes from Landesgericht für Zivilrechtssachen Wien, which is a regional court in Vienna. The court ruled that these loot boxes violate gambling laws. However, this is a standalone decision, and has no wider impact on the country’s legal position on loot boxes.
In Austria, civil cases are taken on a case-by-case basis, and the courts are not bound by previous decisions.
Yeah, I came into this series late and enjoy the open world and leveling aspects. But had been avoiding Valhalla because I hadn’t really heard great things about it.
Do you actually enjoy it? I am an old time fan and hated it. Hidden blade killing and running away was all the fun. Now you can’t instakill a dude in sneak cause he is higher level. Assassins are sneaky, not warriors. Thats my opinion at lwast.
Yeah, I usually pair it up with a more focused game and will switch between the two.
If you only have a bit of time to spend you can explore a bit and obliterate some random camps. If you have more time you can progress through the story.
I think the farthest I’ve gone back is Brotherhood and I think I can draw the line there. In hindsight I just grinded through the story because there was no pacing or anything to tell me otherwise and to go explore – so it’s partially my fault. Also, the last area was a buggy jump puzzle - screw that.
I just really dislike the lvling. Makes the open world feel linear and I find that hidden blading someone should be instakill.
I was in a way overlevel area in origins and sneaked so fricking hard that I could hidden blade the boss. My disappointment was immeasurable when it didn’t instakill…
Do we know how much they made with this loot box system in Austria? I can see just one Austrian whale paying more than the ordered €10,800 on loot boxes. I don’t see EA stopping if they’re still making a profit on these in the big picture, if they’re only losing some legal battles and being ordered to pay less than they made.
