Always appreciate your posts man! Thanks for taking time out of your day to add content to Lemmy! I have a question: I’ve played Control which references Alan Wake and the story definitely piqued my interest. I do own the first but haven’t played it. At this point should I play the first before the second? Or just go with the second one?
Part of what ruined this is not letting players host servers. Back in the day most FPS servers were run by end users, and could form clans and communities with like minded players. The admins of those servers could set rules, and you could know what to expect going in. Hell the server NAME would let you know. Now you go to their servers, their sorting, random lobbies never with the same people, etc.
Get fucked. After all the shit I’ve seen them pulling with Windows 11 they’ll never get a dime out of me again. I’ll ride my win 10 until it’s out of support then switch to Linux. Fuck monopolies, and fuck enshittification for profit.
Honestly this game was/is pretty close to a 10/10 for me. If you have any interest in SCPs Control is probably the best ‘triple A’ title to associate various SCPs into it’s lore and story. Even if you’ve never heard of SCPs the storyline in Control is unique and very, very well done. It’s obviously a gorgeous game as well, if you can’t tell from OPs screenshots. It’s been out long enough at this point you can usually grab it for cheap on sale, or as another poster mentioned it’s free on Epic currently? Haven’t verified that though
Gotcha. Thanks for the recommend / type up! I’ve definitely spent more time than I’d admit just replaying levels. The engine is beautiful and the levels and scenery are super immersive
Holy shit a hitman fan! I’ve played all the games in the series since the original. Only one I haven’t purchased is 3 since they got really shitty with DLCs and garbage. Amazing games for replayability though.
STARBOUND!!! Dude you’re the only ever person I’ve run into. That was one for the first games I supported in Early Access and hold a special place in my heart. I somehow lost my original save on that game and was utterly devastated. At some point I’ll go do another run bit damn did that hit me hard. I had countless bases, my shop was so decked out. Ugh.
