GOG are doing their own Black Friday sale with lots of DRM-free games

Quoting: ageresI bought Mortal Kombat 4, and there is no sound. On Steam I at least could open a new issue on Proton GitHub. On GOG it's always my fault that I've bought a game for an unsupported OS.

I have that one and it works without issue on Ubuntu Mate 18.04. Perhaps, your distro and specs are the issue?

Not into crafting game but I like what I'm reading. Let's see if anyone else in my home is interested.

Google finally made a Stadia advert that doesn't suck
7 October 2020 at 1:11 am UTC

Been finding some great SP gems on Stadia since my MP gaming is now down to 1 day a week with work, family and other hobbies. Ended Little Nightmares, SteamWorld Heist, SteamWorld Quest and KONA. My friends and family are still playing Strange Brigade and Zombie Army 4. A few picked up BG3 but RPGs are not my thing. I will scope it out but I'm waiting for a few more free Google credits to buy some other games on there. I'm at 53.49 right now.

The ad was cool but like others online are saying they should be promoting the free console aspect of it? IDK, I just really enjoying it and I did not expect to be.

Edit - I'm very curious how the games in Pro make money? Liam did you cover this already and I missed it or can ya?

I'm using Google Chrome Browser on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and I can not get this to work at all. Keep getting "Your Device is Unsupported."

Quoting: RolandAnyone else experiencing crashes in the finale of "The Last Stand"-Campaign?
No crashes. I ran matches last night with friends for over 4 hours various maps but this one we played a lot so that everyone could get the achievement.

QuoteHow long until Valve throw their Steam Controller onto the sofa and announce their own?

We always have the choice, but Valve is in a position where it could crush everyone of them, if they don't wait too long. I'm affraid that's what might play against Valve... Valve time.

The train is leaving the station, they should jump onboard before it's too late. New market... Better early than late.

I don't know enough about the industry but in my fantasy land brain, I would love for Valve to get Stadia built in.

The Hotline Miami series is launching on Stadia soon, WWE 2K Battlegrounds out now

Quoting: slaapliedjeThere are definitely games that are now unplayable because they depended on... now I can't even remember the name. It was a service that would hook people up for multi-player. A lot of games were patched so they don't require it anymore, but the services all were shut down (Neverwinter Nights (original) was one of them that used it.

Games For Windows is another one.

Yeah, I've been playing games since the 80s as well, in fact I am heavily into collecting and playing old Atari 8bit games especially, but have an Ultimate64, and Apple IIGS as well. Nothing quite like playing it on real hardware :)

You mean gamespy? There are plenty of work arounds. For example No One Lives Forever used Gamespy but the game also installed a self-hoster so you can still play it online via of the old ip methods.

You can still LAN those games and use stuff like Parsec with it. Just saying that computer gaming community usually responds with solutions.

There was even a way to download Gametap games a while back before that server shut down.

Quoting: slaapliedjeRemember back when you bought a game and it was the complete game? Here is the thing about Stadia or any streaming service. If you have a somewhat spotty internet, you are not going to be able to use it at all. If it gets encouraged, and more comlanies start streaming services, those that are unfortunate enough to not have solid connections will be left going outside to be entertained!

As person that's been gaming on the computer since the 80's, nothing ever really goes away like that. I still rock MUDs with a good playerbase. I like Stadia a lot but my first choice for buying games is GOG but if it's online MP, I'm heading to Stadia.
