  • GOG caught using AI tools, head of product tweeting AI Instagram scams

  • PC games were always weird with physical media though, shareware and piracy were prevalent since the 80s. And the physical games were even worse than digital in some regards, with Starforce and Securom rootkit-like drm that crashes modern PCs or Games for Windows Live locking save files (and not even cloud saves, normal local save files) behind online service that is now dead. I resisted making a steam account for as long as I could, but today no one even owns a disc drive, steam just won on convenience

  • I agree with a lot of this except for destroying physical media. Even consoles went digital, music and movies are digital, I don’t think steam is responsible here

  • Dying Light

    Jump

  • You can just kill everyone in stealth sections so far, and there was no eavesdropping in the missions I’ve done. There are some escort missions, but they give you time and tools to try killing all of the attackers before they even approach

  • I’ve bought and installed Assassins Creed Rogue and have almost 20 hours in it now. It’s basically Black Flag without the Caribbean theme

  • "I turned my childhood friend into a girl" is great, but maybe it doesn't exactly fit because I'm still not sure if it's actually trans

  • Is there some secret to running it? Almost every time the game just refuses to start if I add the launch option

  • What is your favorite Metroidvania?

  • Guacomelee should get more love, it's a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

  • HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access

  • It can do "not giving money to Microsoft" at least, so just for that I'm curious

  • Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpas

  • Only the Chinese emulation handhelds have such form factors now, too bad there are no games made specifically for such devices, so you just have old games and phone games

  • Space battle games for casual player?

  • There was also a Babylon 5 mod for Free Space 2

  • Check Ultimate Spider-man as well, although you can also try getting a PC version from abandonware sites and modding it for better experience. For me it felt like a better Spider-man 2, swinging is a bit different but style and story are unmatched.

  • Jak and Daxter are better played via OpenGoal - a modern open source engine implementation that runs natively on Steam Deck and includes fixes, graphics improvements, proper widescreen, etc.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks

    Jump

  • No, I think if something can be done to allow more people to enjoy the game, then it should not be considered a bad thing to do it. You can not make it accessible to everyone in the world, but if there are time and resources to add accessibility, it should not be neglected.

    And I don't agree with the use of artistic intent as an excuse to not include specific accessibility options: take closed captions for example, they are made to allow deaf and hard of hearing people enjoy the content even when they can't hear the sound. A lot of media is built on sound being a cornerstone of the experience, and people who will use closed captions will have no notion of it, but does it mean that they should be excluded completely?

    Just because people who use the accessibility options will not experience everything in a way the author intended does not mean they should not be experience it at all, and in this day no one really complains about game including captions or colourblind options, but anything that might affect difficulty is, for some reason, out of the question and is only subject to the artist's vision of it.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks

    Jump

  • Easy mode is not fake accessibility. Celeste has the correct idea in allowing players adjust the difficulty for accessibility purposes. Not everyone has the same reaction speed, same cognitive abilities, same eyesight. There are people who can only use one hand and that automatically makes reacting to attacks many times harder, should they be excluded from being able to enjoy the game because they are not physically capable enough for the boss fights? And boss fights are probably 5% of the game anyway!
