I started playing this the other day on a standard PS4 and the frame rate can be really choppy at times. A PC port taking advantage of modern hardware would be amazing. The art direction’s already perfect, it just needs to run at a frame rate that doesn’t make it difficult to time combat maneuvers.
I think they’re slowly losing the goodwill of its customers with the decline of their hardware (and to a lesser extent software) quality and refusal to have easy access to its catalog of older games. Their insistence on taking legal action against their fanbase ranging from pirates to Smash Bros Melee tournament enthusiasts, and YouTubers who like to feature their games has personally turned me off from their offerings. Sure they may have yet another amazing Zelda or Mario game in their next gen console but it’ll be a lot easier to ignore when I already have a huge backlog of games in PC.
I’m not an expert on making videogames, but couldn’t this game have been made with only a fraction of the budget? I mean, I heard there wasn’t much content to begin with which is why so many people complain it’s so repetitive. What was the money spent on? The massive headcount of artists and programmers working on the same small details? Overpriced consultants who are there just to critique the game’s script as being “too offensive” on some parts? Reworks to plot points because overbearing producers want to find ways to shoehorn in some kind of paid DLC? The whole game is a money pit with no way to know how deep it goes.
This is affecting many PC gamers around the world, such as myself, as the last 3 PlayStation releases on Steam have been blocked in many countries. I wanna know what’s your take on this. Please be respectful, and thank you. 😊
I have a PSN account through owning a PS3/4. I don’t have anything against using it on the consoles since you’d need it to use their online services through there. On Steam however it seems like it’s just a means to track you and I’m not willing to do that lest it gives Sony the idea to start its own platform like Origin or Uplay/Connect.
I haven’t had any issues with them. Their older games are fixed up to work on modern systems with few issues. The only thing I wish they’d improve on is to make a Linux launcher similar to how Steam’s works.

I don’t understand the issue of bedrooms without a window. I once lived in a tiny studio apartment with a windowless bedroom. The total dark and silence gave me the best undisturbed sleep I ever had.
More than 170 attacks have been committed against politicians in the lead-up to the June elections. This violence has put campaigns under tension and is sowing doubts about governability in several regions. Specialists warn that the line between the Mexican state and organized crime is increasingly blurred...
To play devil’s advocate here, I think it’s necessary for a social media platform to exist that’s outside the control of the US government. Just because we have the first amendment here that doesn’t mean our speech is protected, just look at what happens when protesters do it the “wrong” way.
Does that mean China gives a shit about our freedoms? No. They just won’t be forced into censoring things the US would want though, and the gap between their opposing hegemonic ambitions is where people can truly say what they want about the US in certain topics. While it’s true the CCP is data mining American citizens, their reach to compromise individuals is dwarfed by what US companies can do already.
I don’t think it would be okay. Are you happy with almost all American media being controlled by a handful of mega corporations who are beholden to US hegemonic interests?
Most railways are privately owned by freight companies which passenger trains must also use. Because of this, freight trains always get priority for using the rail first while passenger trains have to wait for the line to clear before proceeding.
Video of former President Donald Trump vowing to terminate the Affordable Care Act (ACA) went viral on social media on Friday after he reversed his position on the issue last month....
A minimum of 16 Trump administration veterans have sharply criticized the ex-president, with terms such as “threat to democracy,” “erratic,” “delusional” and “narcissistic.”...
If the Trump administration could be consistently described by a single word, it would be “unprecedented”. That seems to pop up in every other headline you’d see about the bastard.
Have you considered gog? They may not be betting heavily on Linux or have as a big of a selection but their games are DRM free. You can even install gog Galaxy, a game manager similar to Steam.
If this were a terrorist attack we’d have had a group release a statement claiming to have been done by them to begin with. The whole point of terrorism is to enact political change through the threat of coordinated acts of violence against the civilian population and infrastructure. These conservative clowns always want to think they’re under attack to promote draconian laws to protect our “freedoms”.
The damage billionaires can do by leveraging their money is so immense it could financially ruin many people’s lives. How many end up homeless or kill themselves out of despair? Their one life isn’t enough to balance the scales but it’ll send a very clear message to white collar criminals once one is executed: the damage you do is tantamount to first degree murder and will be punished as such.
The context of this story is even sadder than the headline suggests. The 50,000 incarcerated people who were given suffrage are actually those who have been in prison without actually having received their sentence yet. The total prisoner population in Mexico is over 232,000.
This came about only after two indigenous people were arrested and held in prison since 2002 while they were never told what they were arrested for in their native language (they didn’t speak Spanish). Apparently they were tortured too. All the time they never received sentencing so they were still technically innocent and were granted the right to vote in 2018.

I’ve been playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and have been having a blast so far. It’s a little like a cross between a MOBA style game and Metal Gear set in the Caribbean and you basically play as the undead Barbarossa pirates as they quietly murder their way through a mission.
Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I’ll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it’s a hidden gem tbh, but it’s such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.
Shadow Tactics and Shadow Gambit are two brilliant gems that come to mind by Mimimi Studios. I discovered them a few weeks ago and just learned they went defunct back in August because they were too niche a genre and couldn’t make enough sales. They’re Stealth Strategy games where you control a group of ninjas/pirates through a heavily guarded level to the objective, stealthily murdering everyone along the way. If you get seen you can easily jump back to a quick save and try again. You’re not overpowered and can easily be killed by enemies so save scumming is deliberately built in to the experience to experiment with your approach.
