Vodulas,

They are using Dark Souls enemies in this game. Not a bad thing mind you, just interesting.

Vodulas,

Nah, everything is filtered through a slight red filter

Vodulas,

Calico is great! Not sure if there is a digital version, but you would probably like Cascadia if you like Calico.

Vodulas,

Oh, awesome! I’m glad you like it. It is one of my favorite quick games

Vodulas,

GotY usually has pretty mass appeal. Metaphor is a pretty niche game, so I would be surprised if it got GotY most places

Vodulas,

I didn’t really have any kind of urgency based on the story, but I do think the story fell short of being a good story.

Spoiler warning: Satisfactory endgame and story

spoilerThey built up so much with the aliens talking to the pioneer and Ada acting as a translator, then towards the end it just stops happening. Then you build a ship and the story is done. Most anticlimactic ending for such a huge game

Vodulas,

Yeah, same. Still love the game and am going to play again for Ficmas.

Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

In the letter, Democrat senator Mark Warner argues that Valve’s content moderation doesn’t meet industry standards, and says he wants Valve to “crack down on the rampant proliferation of hate-based content”....

Vodulas,

Why would a gaming news website talk about twitter? How is it whataboutism? Two things can be bad at the same time.

Vodulas,

Oh, got ya

Vodulas,

Or even playing it via Steam using Proton.

Vodulas,

Same, run the install file via proton even. Works great

Vodulas,

Finally got an invite to Deadlock. After watching a let’s play and messing around with different heroes in the Hero Sandbox, I think there is just too much. I know it is a MOBA shooter combo, but between the movement mechanics, skills, and item shop, it just kinda seems they added stuff just because other titles in either genre have them. I might still give it a few matches, but it definitely dropped in priority.

Been playing through Raft again with my partner, and that’s been a blast. I love a survival crafter, and realized she had not played since the full release. Kinda a cozy survival game if that is even a thing. The only downside isn’t it has been moving our normal sleep schedule later, and we need to move it earlier bee laugh sweat emoji

Vodulas,

I’ll for sure have to see how it plays out in match. Part of it is I also am not a fan of MOBAs, and Deadlock seems to pull a lot from them. We were also looking for a game that my partner could play kinda like Overwatch, bit I think she’ll bounce pretty hard off Deadlock.

Vodulas,

That might be part of it. The shooting doesn’t do it for me, and the movement feels bad unless you nail it.

Vodulas,

And I don’t think gun control is even a campaign promise. Just shows either lack of forethought or lack of understanding from their campaign

Vodulas,

I tried to play Alien Isolation but I kept getting game breaking bugs

I tried the gamepass and PS5 version and ran into the same game breaker. It is such a shame since it is supposed to be fantastic.

Vodulas,

Somehow replied to my own comment. Good thing I am actively drinking coffee. Yeah, although it makes me wonder if the game pass version isn’t basically the console version. They do some weird stuff with required windows processes.

Vodulas,

Night in the Woods was such a standout game. I started to watch a let’s play, realized that it was going to be fantastic, stopped the let’s play, played the game, then finished the let’s play to see their reactions. If you like wholesome let’s plays, I highly recommend PlayFrame. Here is their Night in the Woods play list

Vodulas, (edited )

I love both Subnauticas, but there are really only 2.5 things this tells us:

  1. Giant hermit crabs exist
  2. Likely multiplayer

2.5. Maybe giant squids?

I am super excited either way

Vodulas,

Below Zero had far less open ocean, and far less just inky blackness. Plus I think if you played the original, you have an idea of what to expect. Nothing compares to dread of seeing a Leviathan come up from total darkness in the first one.

Vodulas,

For sure one of the scariest moments in a video game.

PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games (www.pcgamer.com)

Quite a good list, although without any real surprises, except for the cheeky inclusion of a recent fan-made PC port. I’m glad Kerbal Space Program is on it, but a few other personal favorites (and candidates for best game of all time) are absent, like The Talos Principle, BeamNG.drive, NEO Scavenger, World of Goo, Mafia,...

Vodulas, (edited )

The Overwatch 2 update was pretty widely hated, so that might be clouding things. I supposed they did put Destiny 2 on there though. It is for sure weird to not see FFVII or an Arkham game. Or hell, Dishonored.

Edit: Whoops missed Dishonored 2.

Vodulas,

I’m not AI and I really dislike Factorio. I would say it is a bit of a niche game, but Rimworld also seems niche. Probably just not to anyone at PC Gamer’s taste.

Vodulas,

All lists like this are incredibly subjective and by definition about engagement. I wouldn’t call it bait, but it was definitely created for engagement. That is not necessarily a bad thing since it can generate some fun discussions.

Vodulas,

KOTOR 2 on the list instead of KOTOR is an odd choice, but I do not hate it. With the missing content mod, that game is great

Vodulas,

No, just saying it would not have made my top 100 list. Seemed like a funny thing to say it is an AI list because of not having Factorio

Vodulas,

Oh, totally. But the folks making the list might not even have thought of it if none of them play it.

Vodulas,

Good, because it is number 90

Vodulas,

Nah, it is a long list. I missed Dishonored 2 on there.

Vodulas,

They set a rule that only one game from a series can be on the list. Half-Life 2 probably just beat 1 in the very subjective scoring.

Vodulas,

There are not even 10 bad games on that list. Might not be to your taste, but that does not make them shit

Vodulas,

True. They did mention Doom and Doom: Eternal as being different enough to warrant both. Don’t think that is true for BG2 and BG3 though

Vodulas,

What if I told you I find Valheim to be just fine, so I am surprised it is on this list? The subjectiveness of enjoying a game is a very large spectrum

Vodulas,

Prey kinda kicked off the immersive genre. I think the thing folks are not getting is that this is not a best game of all time list, even though they say “100 best.” It is a “100 Favorite Games of the PC Gamer Staff” list. It is going to be different than anyone’s exact taste. There are a ton of games on there that I think would not be in my top 100, but I am not mad or confused about it. It’s just something someone else is into.

Vodulas,

I am not into rhythm games at all and I liked Hi-Fi Rush. Just a fun game in general

Vodulas,

Interesting. Wonder how much Denuvo costs to offset that 20%. I also wonder if there is a way to control for people that won’t buy a game with Denuvo at all.

Vodulas,

Hard to tell what percentage of year one revenue that would be.

Vodulas,

Only if that 20% loss in revenue is 100% of people that pirate the game.

Vodulas,

People that would not buy the game that will pirate it once it is cracked vs people that could not wait and just bought instead of pirating it. The people that would wait until it is cracked would pirate it immediately if it was cracked before the 3 months but will also wait to pirate it if it is not cracked in that 3 months.

Vodulas,

No, you said:

I guess that puts to rest the “I wasn’t going to buy that game anyway…” nonsense.

My point is that there are still people that were never going to buy the game outside that 20% of lost revenue.

Vodulas,

Sure, but it doesn’t blow the statement out of the water. You would have to find out how many times a game was pirated, then compare that to the extra copies sold that make up that 20%. Plus, not everyone who pirates games says that.

Vodulas,

And the cool cutscenes are skippable even on your first time encountering the boss (great for multiple play throughs). The one run back I can remember being annoying is Rennala.

Vodulas,

Not everyone can sit down and read for very long, some people want something to listen to while they do other things, some people learn better in audio format, and some people just like watching videos. It’s fine if it is not your jam, but that is no reason to denigrate someone choosing to watch a video instead of reading an article.

Vodulas,

Yup. It is just needlessly aggressive and gatekeepy.

Vodulas,

it’s no different than buying something made (in whole or part) in China giving tax money to the CCP to further Uighur genocide in Xinjiang

The difference for me is that while I do try to avoid those things, it is not possible a lot of times. I can avoid buying a game 100% of the time. They are essentially a luxury item.
