Aurenkin,

Indeed. I own a Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild but Nintendo says I’m not allowed to play it on my Steam Deck. I guess that’s the last time I buy something from them. Their games really are amazing though so it’s a shame.

Aurenkin,

I stopped playing so long ago that I don’t even know what this comment means.

I had an absolute blast with it back in the day though and put many hours in. Really sad to hear that Valve apparently doesn’t care enough to fix it.

Aurenkin,

Yes in that you have to be dead to do this which is something most people can only do once.

Aurenkin,

Steam reviews page showing 48% positive.

The TLDR of the steam reviews seems to be to just buy and play the old ones. They are less pretty but much better mechanically and story wise. They also lack intrusive Denuvo DRM and data collection policies. I haven’t played the game personally but that seems to be the consensus from the top couple of reviews.

Personally this one will be staying on my wishlist for a few years.

Aurenkin,

Sounds like there’s a gap in the market to me

Aurenkin,

I’m trying so hard not to get hyped after all the disappointments but it’s difficult.

Aurenkin,

It’s absurd that this is legal (assuming it is). How can it be just to have customers waive their right to access the justice system?

Heroes 3 appreciation post

The Heroes of Might and Magic III, 25 years old and still awesome. I honestly think it’s the most replayable game ever (at least for me). Plenty of maps out of the box. Most of them can be played with a different town each time. If you’re done with that, you can change the difficulty. If you’re done with that, you can...

Aurenkin,

Such a great game. I used to go to my friends place on weekends and we’d spend all day playing hot seat.

Aurenkin,

Yeah for these things I think having an option is best. I personally don’t play this way but I can see the appeal. I don’t really see the harm in letting people play how they want to play

Aurenkin,

Can’t wait for the EA live service BG4

Aurenkin,

Refunct. The perfect game for when your brain is fried after work imo. It’s super minimal so not something you can sink tens of hours necessarily into but it’s worth checking out for sure.

Aurenkin,

Free for prey, pay to slay

Aurenkin,

Well to be unnecessarily pedantic about it, that’s how games do work normally.

Aurenkin,

Yeah I’m with you, just making a bad joke

Aurenkin,

Oh wow, I had no interest at all in trying these previously. Reducing the quality of the games by adding ads and in app purchases is exactly the thing that will push me to give it a try.

Aurenkin,

What have you done…

Aurenkin,

Exactly as I feared

Aurenkin,

There is no justice in this world, smh.

Peace is a lie

Aurenkin,

Oh wow, they got rid of the loading screens?

Aurenkin,

That’s how I knew Jack Reacher was a Valve employee

@gaming anybody know much about Dwarf Fortress? Having trouble with stairs and digging out areas.

Aurenkin,

I haven’t played for a while but used to play quite a bit. Can you describe what you’re trying to do and what problems you’re coming across?

Aurenkin,

Yeah exactly, he left because he finished the job he was there to do. Now they are acting like this is some kind of move to placate their customers as if it wasn’t the plan all along.

Aurenkin, (edited )

Or, you know, you could have kept lucasarts around. Pretty sure they were still a thing and pretty well respected at the time of the acquisition.

EDIT: Shortsighted corpo scum don’t even understand the value of the thing they spent unimaginable amounts of money on, smh.

Aurenkin,

Damn that’s really shitty and such a shame that lucasarts would do that.

Aurenkin,

Finally got their budget approved

Aurenkin,

Amazing. Looks like the perfect excuse to play this incredible game again.

Aurenkin, (edited )

It’s definitely not starting from scratch, it’s just throwing away what they built so far.

To be honest though although I’m not a game dev it does seem like a pretty reasonable decision given presumably the difficulties of maintaining your own engine. This will hopefully allow them to invest more time into different parts of the game and avoid a repeat of the Cyberpunk launch. I wonder if that launch and issues that lead to it was a big part of the drive behind the decision.

That said, I am a bit worried about what seems to be a bit of a consolidation happening with game engines after Unity burning a lot of bridges and now CDPR not moving forward with their in house engine. It’d be nice to see some more competition in this space I think. That’s my layman’s take at least, maybe there are already plenty of options that I’m just not aware of.

Aurenkin,

Yeah Godot is super promising! Hopefully it can pick up enough steam for game studios to invest some money or even dev time in it.

Aurenkin,

What do you mean? I thought the KotOR series had a good story and interesting characters.

Aurenkin,

You can use a keyboard and mouse with the steam deck. Probably not super common but definitely doable.

Aurenkin,

“When it’s done time to cash in”

Aurenkin, (edited )

This article leaves a lot to be desired imo. Some of the stuff in here you can see is incorrect just from launching into the main menu of the game.

Here is my personal take on Star Citizen as someone who’s been following the project from the beginning:

If it’s something that interests you, you should wait for a free fly weekend and try it out. The game is far from done but it’s fleshed out enough now that you can have fun if it’s your thing. If you think it’s not worth buying, don’t buy it. Then you can come back on the next free weekend to check it out again and see the progress.

Everything else is just noise. Yes the game has raised a lot of money, yes there has probably been mismanagement and development has been slow. Yes there’s still a ways to go before feature completeness.

TLDR: Who cares. Go play it if it’s your thing and have fun, or don’t and just forget about it until they hit 1.0 sometime who knows when.

Aurenkin,

Yeah, that’s fair enough. I think they should definitely give refunds to folks but that’s also the risk you take with backing a project. I’ve had plenty of disappointment with backing games, I don’t consider SC in that category but I can definitely understand people who do.

Aurenkin,

Ah yes, classic Betteridge’s law of headlines.

Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the words ‘lol no’.”

Aurenkin,

I didn’t see a source for the statistic in the article which is a bit disappointing as I’m really interested to learn more about it. It seems pretty high but also there’s quite a lot of uncertainty built into it.

From my experience with VR I found I got sick after a long enough time but was able to get my ‘vr legs’ and have much longer sessions even on more intense games like Windlands where you swing around like Spiderman (super fun if you have the stomach for it).

The other thing to note is that for me at least it’s a spectrum. It’s not just ‘VR makes me sick’ but it depends a lot of the game or activity and there are a bunch of ways for games to try and reduce it. It does take time to get used to some of them though.

Hopefully things become better with time and more folks get to enjoy it because it’s a lot of fun in my experience.

Aurenkin,

Seems like they are going to ‘fix’ it in the next patch. Hopefully it can be modded back in.

Aurenkin,

I buy games pretty much exclusively on Steam because of the Linux support (my gaming PC runs Linux only).

Hopefully more places follow suit because I believe competition is a good thing but for now it’s Steam all the way pretty much apart from Starsector and until recently Dwarf Fortress.

Aurenkin,

So pumped for this. Put in a bunch of hours back when it first came out in early access then decided to put it down until combat came out. Super excited to jump back in!

Aurenkin,

Uhhh yeah…perhaps. I mean it sounds like it’s pretty good but that’s quite a call.

Aurenkin,

Yeah I hope this trend of having to use a launcher for my game dies. It’s so much less convenient than just putting the disc in.

Aurenkin,

Death threats are not ok. Maybe just switch to Godot instead.

Aurenkin,

No idea if it’s real or not to be honest. It seems pretty believable to me on its face but that doesn’t mean it’s legit.

The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis' next social simulation. During today's latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without...

Aurenkin,

RIP Maxis. Who knows what kinds of awesome stuff we could have had. Oh well, at least Cities Skylines 2 is on the way. Haven’t played a Sims game in a long time but had such a blast with the earlier entries in the series.

Aurenkin,

Still haven’t emotionally recovered from Westwood

Aurenkin,

Still haven’t emotionally recovered from Westwood

Aurenkin,

Games respecting my time is something that I’ve definitely come to value a lot more. Quantity for quantities sake, inane things like overly restrictive save points or busywork for people who don’t pay to skip… I just can’t really be bothered with it.

Aurenkin,

Yeah I love suspend/resume on my steam deck. I definitely don’t think it’s stopped being an issue for me though, sometimes I want to turn the device off or if I’m playing on PC I want to quit the game and do something else or just turn it off.

It’s just frustrating because saving the game is not a technical problem and hasn’t been for decades, it’s a design choice and I shouldn’t need to lean on a technical solution to get around it. Maybe I’m just stubborn though

Aurenkin,

Yeah and also, sometimes (very rarely of course) I actually die ingame and need to load. I don’t want to waste a bunch of time when that happens.
