Older games, sure, but I like to mess around with games that had tons of customization. Examples include Guitar Hero World Tour (using the Definitive Edition overhaul mod), Need for Speed games (I like MW '05 and Carbon), and many others I can’t name off the top of my head. I know, older games for me, but I certainly know how that goes for the most part (I tend to play older games).
I’ve played some romhacks, so I get that part too. Otherwise, fan-made projects or romhacks would be much better nowadays than the slop that’s made today.
There’s a lot of undisclosed AI usage in modern games, and they won’t tell us in any storefront that doesn’t require AI disclosure.
Emulating the classics, or playing them on real hardware might be the way to go, and not getting things like a Switch 2 or later (maybe a Switch, since you seemingly own the games you have in those cartridges, and not some DRM-heavy license where the developers will revoke it at any one time).
My only other concern is with the publisher, B-site (as it’s called in China, though I’m not from there). Otherwise, it doesn’t look that bad, despite being a top-down shooter instead of an FPS like Tarkov is.
I sure as heck hope they allow Linux (basically, no ACE or anything of the sort). If they do, and the game’s free, I’ll check this sucker out to spite the Tarkov devs.
From the No Pay To Win Coalition’s review on Steam:
“Overall: 2/5*
Not recommended!
Likely to become a P2W, due to it being a GaaS game.
Bad progression system, rigged against newbies.
Other issues:
Cheaters
GaaS
A low-poly Battlefield copy. ”
If it isn’t P2W as of right now, it will be that way. This also has to do with old-school ownership, as you’re paying for a license that will be revoked any time the devs feel like it.
I’d only play it if the game wasn’t P2W despite one having to pay for it. If P2W is removed, I’d consider it. Otherwise, don’t bet on me playing it anytime soon.
