Thankfully they’ve updated the design to address the stick drift!

I’m the cash-shop-anocerous. All my microtransactions bleed your wallet like a phlebotomus.
Goddammit… I don’t have time for this!
in keeping with the all caps sentiment
FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
I will go all in on a case of Mt Mist (balling on a budget) and plastic, bulk sack of fritos twists if that happened. My boy and I still load up Jet Moto 2 for a few races a couple times a year.
As a technicality you would be correct. Games can be removed from PS+ though and it also lauched day and date on Steam. So calling it F2P instead of a PS+ Day One would be a little harder for fans to swallow on PC where it would still have been $40. See also the aforementioned Halo Infinite which launched on Xbox first then PC but only the multiplayer component is F2P on both. You can play SP with Game Pass Ultimate but you need to purchase a license to do so on Steam.
Yeah! Project Titan or something, wasn’t it?
Sony failing to get another live service game off the ground really highlights a few things.
How hard it is to launch something in this space. Not only has the market moved away, it was also saturated long before they dropped Condord.
Companies (still) fail to understand that a bad launch isn’t exactly death. There are several ways they could of tried to salvage this instead of just Zaslav’ing it for a tax write off 2 weeks in. We’ve seen plenty of examples in the past 10 years of games that were able to turn themselves around and find success. No reason a company like Sony couldn’t align resources to make it happen here.
This should of been on PS+ Day One… I get not putting your shorttail, singleplayer, prestige titles up there at launch. I also get not wanting to go completely F2P, a microtransaction enabled MP game though? Why the hell wouldn’t you want the biggest audience possible out the gate? Halo Infinite was a shit show at launch but it was free and has maintained a pretty damn solid user base for years because of it. Hell, I’ve even picked up a few season passes and cosmetics despite never playing a Halo MP game in the past (outside of lan’ing up for Halo 1 waaaaay back).
Lots more thoughts, but the schadenfreude is just too much right now to avoid jumping on a still warm corpse.
can report UEFI installs of PopOS and Mint were recently borked by a Win11 update.
The shape of the Edge is weird. That and the parallel sticks hurt my hands after an hour or so. I have big ass mitts as well so that may be the cause.
The 8bitdo ultimate is my favorite of all time though. I don’t think I’ll ever find a more perfect controller. Can use it for hours with 0 issues.
I’ll bite the potential bait. What did you mean then?
I ask as a straight white dude that generally creates female characters in game and truly enjoy seeing how the game world reacts to the character (if it does) and find it enjoyable to experience challenges outside of those that generally color my world view.
It’s cool to be Geralt or Male Shepard but I’ve seen, read and played that story quite a few times. For my personal enjoyment I’d like to live in a world (especially another CDPR one, doubly so for the Witcher universe) as a female character. It opens up a shit ton of new dialog possibilities and quest choices.
Having played through Cyberpunk multiple times as both male and female V, there’s skme truly unique things that they do that are only possible by leveraging the PC’s gender when interacting with the world.
I know one of those 2 games will be asymmetrical multiplayer based on Boss Games being the dev.
I hope the other isnt MP. We need more single player games based off classic horror IP.
Since we’re making unfounded, trash statements.
You’re dumb.
Fuck outta here with that astroturfing, neckbeard, neet shit.
It’s crazy how, at this point, my Game Pass Ultimate 3 year (and now 3 years extended) subscription has yielded so little first party exclusives as originally planned. There is zero compelling reason to renew at this time. What a comedy of bullshit it’s been. Thankfully Phil will retain his job and likely continue to receive bonus shares. That’s what really matters after all.
On the flip side, I appreciate them letting Obsidian cook. That team deserves it.
Heroic Launcher handles GOG on Deck and any other variant of Linux. It will even drop shortcuts into Steam. Worth a look if you’re so inclined.
It’s weird that you make that comparison. I have been an avid 2fort fan since og TF and feel like that map at least had some breathing room to get away from the constant grenades spam and chaos. It might not have been much but there was at least a chance to stop for a split second and figure out what the hell is going on.
I think being able to choose whether I wanted to jump into a 24/7 2fort server or not also helped with the feeling of “this map is trash why are we even here” less than it does in modern games where you only have skill-based matchmaking and voting based upon randos.
I love a good 2fort battle with people I know and have been playing with for years.
Yeah that might be the thing that isn’t jiving well with me. It just feels like chaos. There’s nothing tactical about mashing the fire button and spinning in a circle. Definitely a skill issue.
Gripping points. Thank you for your contribution.
Reminds me of playing game dev story back in the day.
YOU WENT WITH DOUBLING DOWN!!!
I don’t know what that means, sorry, just seemed like a fun comment train to start. 🤣
hell no! why do something pro consumer when you can just raise prices
