Nah, literally played Goldeneye at a party yesterday and it’s still damn fun! We also played Smash 64 AFTER Ultimate and had fun too!

SBMM has the fatal flaw of expecting players to want to constantly improve with every match. Sometimes we want to play to relax, but that’s never on its mind.

While true, I feel like games that work well on the Xbox Series S also work well on Steam Deck and when it comes to porting games to PC, those ones specifically are ported well.

All this power game developers have been getting, while great for creative endevours, has been either a waste of space or require outrageous specs just to perform normally. And some great games are bogged down by this while relying on upscaling methods to fill in the difference.

Either way, we’ve reached a point where more power and space isn’t the solution anymore to better games. Can only hope new tech gets better optimized.

Combat was the incredible highlight of this game.

Seeing most of the fixes go towards that instead of immersion kinda… You’d think they highlight those immersive aspects more. The mods are sure as hell all about immersion including working stock markets and such.

Either both platforms restricted Passes to harder validation after Cyberpunk 2077 or XDefiant is BUGGIER than Cyberpunk 2077

Sadly, yeah. A lot of team moved to Gravity Well to start something new.

There’s an important moment where you have to ask yourself…

“Is this story so bad I’m not invested in it anymore?”

“Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?”

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you’re not gonna play it again.

Well even if the software is functional, the underlying OS doesn’t support it in ways that are important. Like suspend and resuming games. Then when Windows can have a random update, the extra software may break or run into serious problems until the devs can get an update up for it as fast as they can on reaction. Nvidia STILL commonly runs into these problems with just Gpu updates. Things always break and they gotta have multiple versions of stability going and staying on top of updates for the latest games.

In other words, nobody has a problem with Windows until Windows suddenly spawns one for them to have for seemingly no reason and at the worst times. The more Beta the software is, the more commonly this happens.

I do gotta say those controllers may finally be a replacement for Joycon on PC. They look great!

Remnant 2 is brilliant at this and bad at this at the same time! The in-world stories that are told along with the environments are absolutely STUNNING! Everything clicks together so well and a slightly different story is told when re-rolling the map!

Main story cutscenes tell the worst story I’ve ever seen executed. (Worse than Monster Hunter World’s Handler story stuff) I’m glad they’re skippable on another run. Because literally everything is is some of the most classic gaming experience one could have.

I was hoping they’d focus on world immersion stuff. Like 90% of the mods do.

Games that don’t do this: infamous series. The first time on the first one is incredible. But afterwards as a trend, loading the game goes straight to your most recent save with zero menu.

Killzone: Shadowfall. No intros. Straight to the main menu when you boot. Unique and wild every time!

There’s 3 people working on this game and there’s hundreds of cheaters popping up every other day. It’s a massive load.

Especially when they also have to deal with DDOS attacks as they try to keep their servers alive for so many people too.

It’s 100% warranted and I’m glad they still saved a path for Linux. Even if it’s like, “You must be on the STEAM Kernal” or something, it might unlock a path for other anti-cheat to have some sort of access on Linux as well.
