On August 19, 2019, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition re-released with a new client on both the Windows Store and Steam, with cross-play available between the two platforms. Existing Windows Store players need to manually download the new client in order to receive game updates and multiplayer compatibility. At the same time, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition has also become available through Xbox Game Pass for PC.
IIRC AoE2 had like three remasters: HD one, DE and something else. AoE had at least one of those.
Same. I’m glad you liked it and probably turned others onto another NV playthrough. I can’t play atm, and I feel jealous c:
The only thing you’ve missed is the super challenging instance that forms in the place of a camp you’ve chosen to destroy with leftover nukes. It adds nothing to the fallout experience, but if you want your ass beaten repeatedly, here you are. You can try to load your save and choose to nuke NCR\Legion and then travel to their base. These are small highly irradiated locations with high tier threats and LR-tier loot, nothing unique iirc. These fights feel 2x tighter than these tight fight moments in the original DLC.
Man, I miss being all agitated about the thing I bought, ordered or took as a gift. Idk if it’s depression or just an aging thing, but I do miss being tempted like that. 1-day delivery and digital purchases kinda ruined it and I want an option to intentionally slow delivery down. Waiting and anticipating something that’d arrive on the X day added a lot to the value I see in a product.
I’m surprised Смута’s even been released unlike hundreds of such projects, but instead of dunking on this half-cooked product that can thank UE5 for it’s looks - the only thing reviewers mention in a positive light - one thought captures me more. That this game for some reason took the weirdest period possible for a hyperpatriotic game. I urge you to read about it, it has so much potential for the opposite. In my mind, a set of white subtitles flashes over black:
The mad king is dead.
Moscow is weak.
Would you be dare to take it?
After a stroke of psychotic and delusionary policies of Ivan IV, that country took a nosedive into a violent disorder when a lot of parties, including poles, several fake sons of a dead emperor and nobles taking their turn of establishing their rule, and the new dynasty of Romanovs who won in the end weren’t any better.
That makes an insanely good ground for a macchiavellian powergrab simulator as well as a sim of administrating a rogue land that’s fed up with that bullshit. A medieval New Vegas, if you will. With no laws but the ones you can establish.
That’s the least fitting setting for their imperialistic masturbation.
It’s probably they don’t want to dive nose deep into all individual cases and local shenanigans* about that and probable scams that can occur. You can take other person’s account if you have both password and email access, they don’t oppose that under the table, but they don’t want to be a party in account transit because it makes them responsible for that.
Is it legal what’s described in one’s last words, can these games be lawfully transfered as they are under both legal code and game licensing agreements? If there’s no more living relatives, would Steam transfer your purchases to the government? Or if the inheritance is disputable between two parties, should it decide anything there? They let anything happen as long as they aren’t involved.
I mean, some game studios consult child psychologists and lawyers to better implement addictive gambling-like mechanics without being liable for that. Media does impact the consumer, and the bigger the initial predisposition, the worse the effect, and kids like shiny animated casino boxes. But violent games that do reach the market and aren’t dead on arrival are mild in that and can only supplement other, more real problems like mental health issues, trauma, neglect, bullying. And in 99.9% cases it’s just an excuse to push them under the carpet. Like, from drawing a line to what makes older demographics cause daily mass shootings. Not videogames, not even guns mostly, but the environment and culture as a whole.
