No no no…Sonic and Knuckles was just Sonic 3, the other half of the cartridge that they sold you a second time, somehow.

It’s not though? Sonic & Knuckles has unique stages and story vs. Sonic 3. Unless you mean they were designed as one game and split at the end before release; that I don’t know.

There was a 2010 2D platformer released as Sonic 4 which was meant to be the spiritual successor.

I’d say the real spiritual successor on Genesis/Megadrive was Sonic & Knuckles, which came out after Sonic 3 and for all intents and purposes may as well have been called Sonic 4. But they had to push the Knuckles aspect because the cartridge had a passthrough that would accept another Genesis cartridge and allow you to play e.g. Sonic 2 with the Knuckles sprite, iirc.

Not sure on that one.

I’m one of the very few people who loves the Steam Controller. If given an option between KBM and Steam Controller, I generally do the latter. The right pad as mouse isn’t as accurate as a mouse, but damned if it isn’t way more comfy from the couch.

I guess what I’m saying is: I’d suggest it is less about KBM and more about what games you play, where you play them, and probably whether or not you play multiplayer.

RDR2 was a beautiful game and one of the few that gave me a serious emotional response at the end. But it was a bit long winded along the way, so I’m OK with this.

Well now that I know I’m not alone I can feel more confident when the next great buy comes out.

I dont hate it. But Crises happening automagically does feel against the typical nature of Civ, where I typically prefer more random events.

It’s more board game feeling.

@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It does but only because of the default Steam executable. It can be run directly without the launcher.

Didn’t they announce that there would not be a launcher? Also removed for Civ VI.

That’s just a by-product of how Steam works. Playtime is counted as long as the Play button says “Stop”.

For games without DRM (e.g. KSP), you can launch it from the Steam install folder without Steam running. Everything works perfectly but your playtime won’t be counted for the same reason.

circuitfarmer, do gaming w Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Try a strategy title with the pads, in particular something like Civ, where there is no time limit. Right pad works fantastic as a mouse replacement. Left pad is always kind of just there, though it can be useful as a radial menu if you use the configurator (albeit that makes more sense on Steam Controller since the pads are round).

@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Came here to say this. I use mine almost every day, specifically for titles that don’t have controller support.

While I do prefer a twin-stick like the DualSense for games with support, you cannot at all beat a Steam Controller for strategy gaming from the couch. I’m still on my first, but have two as backup (it was limit 2 when Valve offloaded them for $5 each).

I am hopeful for this. Playing it on day one, I reported a garbage management bug on the official forum: only to be told it was “by design”, and yet still game-breaking.

The performance woes got all the press, but the game was fundamentally broken. It was nearly impossible to lose. Too many services for a small city? Here’s free “government subsidies” that you also can’t shut off when your city is successful. Don’t have garbage service? No problem, a neighboring city you have no control over is gonna handle your trash – for free.

I hope this is finally a step in the right direction, but I’ll never understand why it took a year to listen to day 1 issues. If the game had been released Early Access the response would have been better all around. Performance issues need to take second place: if the game isn’t fun, I don’t care how it performs.

My thoughts exactly. Sounds like some corporate lobbying to try and break into Steam’s market.

To reference a Gaben quote out of context, these other companies have a service issue.

The fact that Elite was made to work with that amount of complexity on a C64 was absolutely mindblowing at the time. So often we forget how far things have come.
