Huh? Wasn’t that literally one of the original goals of Stadia. You’d watch someone play a game and you’d be able to launch the same game at the place where you paused the video.

Valve wasn’t first to market by a long shot. Valve was the first to offer a great price and a great operating system. But the general category of devices existed long before the Deck. They just were fucking expensive.

I often pirate old games I own because I’m too lazy to go find the disc. Although at least for Gothic I went to find my old disc anyways because the version I downloaded was missing the In Extremo concert.

And I pirated Sims 4 because of some DRM stuff, can’t remember the exact issue. But let that sink in, I had to pirate a game that is literally free.

Most emotional moments in games? (SPOILERS)

Just for the heads up, this thread will probably have a lot of spoilers. I’m gonna try to go vague on spoilers for anybody that hasn’t played Hotline Miami 2. If you’ve played the game, you’ll probably know what I mean, but I’m going to say some purposefully esoteric shit to keep it out of full spoiler territory....

MyHouse.wad. It’s astonishing that a fucking Doom level can do better environmental storytelling than most modern games. Don’t read much about it, just download it and play!

I also played Life is Strange: True Colors with my daughter and she was amazed at how a video game can just influence our emotions.

True Colors is great. It’s a little bit more personal and smaller in scope than the first two. For myself the first one is still my favourite with True Colors as a close second. If you were annoyed by the teenage drama of the first one then you should like True Colors more.

But if you’re looking for traditional adventure puzzles you will be disappointed. There are barely any in this game. It’s a more or less linear story where your relationships are more important than solving the mystery.

Yeah, I feel the same. When I was younger I loved RPGs because they usually gave you 40+ hours of content just for the main story. Now I kind of dread playing them because it takes so much mental effort.

Then again, Long Covid also gave me brainfog. But I also felt that way before I had it. I guess back then my mental capacity was taken up by work.

Anyone else remember those giant scale maps that used to be in shooters? e.g. bathroom, kitchen, office, backyard, that made you feel so tiny? angielski

I miss those so much. Any modern games still playing with this concept? I remember Half Life had the bathroom, kitchen, and office, and I remember a backyard one in Quake 3 that was really cool.

My kids showed me some Minecraft maps with that concept. Unfortunately I don’t know where they got them.

In the Thief: The Dark Project mission The Sword you can find a gigantic room.
