QuoteKINGDOM HEARTS

Normally I would instabuy a title like this, but I am pretty salty about them selling out as an exclusive to EGS.

And my people are pretty disappointed at the story post > #1.

Although I'm 50/50. It's on my radar, someone tell me it has Denuvo or some other dumb shit like a Square Launcher or whatever, or is always online or some other __dumb management thing__ so I can take it off my radar.

Japanese Game Studios love committing commercial suicide by insulting their fans.

Quoting: LanzSelaco deserves every bit of the praise it gets. It's one of the best FPS games I have ever played. The attention to detail is remarkable.

Exactly, I bought it for the System Shock 2 vibes, and it vaguely reminds me of Duke Nukem from around 2000. I got confused in the level design slightly during progression and it would be refreshing to have the "naughty" bad boy spice added of something Conquer's Bad Fur Day or Duke Y2K to complement the style and genre.

What I played was pretty fun and played great on Steam Deck. It's rare to find something like that these days -- I had my eye on this one for at least a year or two which I rarely do for any game.

Quoting: Nateman10004. They seem to not understand their own case. The case claims to be about overcharging gamers but the actual case details seem to point to being about overcharging developers

If true, then it would seem that China/Tencent is just MAD about paying and using their oversea UK assets to do lawfare in their interests.

They literally have done this exact thing using Epic Games as a PROXY to try to get around paying the Steam Tax.

Raise your hand if you're tired of RTS __NOT SHOWING YOU GAMEPLAY__

Like -- grow up -- these kinds of first person cinematic in video game trailers were attractive in the 2000s because cinematic were ___impressive___ ___difficult to do___ and ___scarce___.

They are not the attractive marketing tools they used to be. Now they completely misrepresent the experience and only serve to confuse.

What are they even trying to get me to buy? Someone needs to fire marketing.

QuoteThe attitude shouldn't be anger and outrage

Garry Newman, infamous for being easily butthurt, sure can dish out hard criticisms and judgements of other people for "wrong feelings" but when it's his turn he cries on Twitter that "Teh Loonix clan said mean things to muh". Hypocrite.

QuoteMaybe because [...] this generation [...] {posts IP+} memes on tiktok and no-one gets pissed.

This comes across as trying to reconcile being "out of touch" with the reality of people in the present by ragging on TikTok.

Dude is acting as a cynical pragmatist and just covering his own ass. Like duh, he's not going to take one for his fans, but does he really need to condescend to kiss the boots of Nintendo??? SMH.

Dude can't get his, or others foot out of his mouth. He has foot in mouth disease.

He should have just shut up about it and it would have blown over. I've never known anyone who steps in so much shit on the sidewalk from having such poor social judgement.

Garry Newman is the Neil Breen of Gaming.

Mega props, I'm not a user but I'm sure many people will benefit from this work.

Diversity and options are strength, it's great to see techies reach new milestones no matter which banner it's under.

Quoting: Mountain ManWhenever I hear people talk about "game preservation", it always sounds suspiciously like, "I want free games."

A one size fits all "judgement" about "people" comes off as arrogant in this context, and white knighting for a billion dollar enterprise against peasant coders isn't a good look.

But to give the benefit of the doubt -- how many decades have you been a gamer for?

People here who have been since the 80s, 90s have seen dozens to hundreds of beloved video game companies go out of business in their lifetime. The community validates that reality as a realistic argument and scenario. Google Stadia, Sega Channel, 7th Level Games, Looking Glass Studios, Rareware, Acclaim Entertainment, Sierra Entertainment...

Conflating tools with crimes is nonsense, it's a slippery slope to think that all kitchen knives "could" be used in a crime so therefore they must be disallowed. This modern "Safetyism" revolution is a scam.

Where does the scam end? Cars need to be illegal because they "could" or "are" an accessory to manslaugher in "some" instances.

Perhaps your comments were vague and directed at a more specific group or person though.

Everyone wants to be "on the side of the big battalions", but this "safetyism" and billionaires beating up on peasants is bullshit.

Quoting: emphyThe age of cultural piracy, where big companies try to lock down human culture behind so-called "intellectual property" laws, is in full swing.

If you don't want future nostalgia be held hostage by such, do not play their games. They are much overhyped and overrated any ways.

1000 times this. This time period may become a "Lost Age" if preservation is hostily sabotaged using lawfare.

Quoting: Mountain ManHow dare Nintendo protect its intellectual property!

I gotta believe this is a hot take, or chaos bait for popcorn, shits and giggles.

Couldn't get my Index to work on Linux. Ended up needing to buy a new harness cable. Lesson of the story -- never let family or friends borrow. I look forward to trying these updates (since I haven't tried since the major update)

The Cheese app screenshots from the Index webcam are really surreal and pretty stylistically interesting.
