I have gotten back into non-patiently playing Helldivers, but I think I’ll spend the weekend playing Hex of Steel, CtA:Gates of Hell and Dawn of War:Soulstorm with thr Unification mod, same as I’ve been doing all week.

Well that, and watching the 24h of Le Mans race, this saturday!

I played a lot of the old TDU and the Nacon WRC Games. Long story short, the way they handled Generations, that was supposed to be their last hurrah with the franchise, was so bad, that I completely gave up hope on Solar Crown being good. And I’ve been having the live service hell feelings about it for a while too.

Same. I don’t even give a shit about them announcing Bloorborne or Gran Turismo on PC anymore. I’ll just wait for PS4 emulation to get better and play that instead.

I’d love a similar post with music production workspace setup tips.

I really wanted to have hope but I knew in the back of my mind to not trust Gearbox.

Until Google realizes normal.people would rather use this than take part in their AI search, and block usage of it outside of businesses.

Was anyone even still inetested in this? All hype has died and it’s still a Ubishit product.

No no no no stop talking about it, quick before the Nintendo lawyers show up!!

I had a sudden urge to look into TERA Online private servers, downloaded 100GB of custom game clients… And that somehow resulted in me getting back into playing Grim Dawn. This time I want to play it enough to really learn it and actually finish the game.

Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

Open a ticket with support where an actual human will read it. The automated refund tool will always deny it.

I feel bad for Arrowhead. Sony fucked them over and it’s not going to take any of the backlash, they will.

This is a great list!

I haven’t played on my Switch or really touched in in a few months now, since around the Yuzu news. I’m too disgusted by them to want to do it, and shortly before that, I had decided to mod it and not buy their games again. Now I’m 100% certain I’m going to do that. If I really want to give money to some indie game I like, I’ll buy it on Steam.

They wanted to get pickes up in a billionaire acquisition by some Arab group. But the deal never happened and they ended up with billions in debt instead.

Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

Varyag,

Linux Mint. That’s always the answer. It’s lightweight, it’s simple, it’s easy, it does what you need. Even gaming. SomeOrdinaryGamers did a vidso on YT about installing it, it’s pretty easy!

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Pulstar, Blazing Star, all other Metal Slugs. I’d say most of the KoF titles but I think out of these listed here only XIV has rollback netcode so the others might be iffy to play online (wink wink Fightcade) Anyway if you just want the best ones, I’d say KoF '98, 2002 and XIII.

Ohh I’d love to ask you: which emulation handheld you think provides the best arcade emulation experience for vertical shmups?

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, all of their games in the past few years or so have DLCs like that. What I’m actually worried about is some of their games the MTX aren’t irrelevant like these. Monster Hunter has been getting more and more of these with each new release since World and I’m scared of what they’ll do with Wilds.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

FUCKING STOP. Pieces of shit gambled with several studios to get themselves bought and it blew in their faces ruining several of said studios losing many many people their jobs.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

That they put in, to force people to buy the MTX instead of modding the game.

Is anyone surprised?

The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.

Something something, you’ll own nothing.

It’s not not called a “marketing black hole” for nothing. Even hotly awaited games come out on EGS and just vanish into obscurity until they’re on other storefronts.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Armored Core wasn’t even a runner up on any of the categories, while FC24 was in like 3 of them. I completely give up.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah, and it sucks because of that. The amount of misinformation, propaganda and fake news that has been circulated through Whatsapp on the previous 4 years was astounding and almost ruined the country permanently.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Both, it’s both.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Literally never heard of it. Also, yeah, when I see Paradox I can only think of their terrible DLC practices, which turn me away from most of their games… except the ones made by Harebrained Schemes, Battletech was great. Guess there won’t be a sequel.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Oh my gods, I thought we were going to have to wait another year for the PC version after the PS5 one released. I am now VERY hyped for this release! EDF!!

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Ah yes, of course immediately after they got all of the money for the things that scalpers bought out instantly, and are now going to be resold for triple the price online. So, so sorry.

Gaben isn’t going to last forever. But honestly the only other good games storefront is GoG. I’ll continue using Steam for as long as it’s still good.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Why, it was THEIR idea in the first place.

I feel like I’m about to get into these android based emulators. Which of the Retroid’s do you reckon I should go for? This new 2S seems really nice. I want mostly to play arcade games, PS1 and Saturn games. PS2 and Dreamcast would be a nice bonus.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Nintendo first party titles are very stingy with sales. Many third party titles however, go on some pretty good sales with decent regularity. You might also want to make a Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore account to grab Asia-exclusive games sometimes, if those interest you.
As for the games I own and would recommend, there’s:
-BOTW
-Metroid Dread -Dead Cells
-Hollow Knight
-Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion
-Burnout Paradise
-Fast RMX
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (or Rise)
-Atelier Ryza (or Sophie)
-Mario Kart
Just some general, off the top of my head recommendations. If you want recommendations of specific genres, I might be able to recommend further.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Very much so! They add a ton of content to an already pretty content-rich game, and after you have them, you’ll barely notice they weren’t part of the base game before, except maybe the Castlevania one because of the obvious difference in theme. Still, lots of quality content that adds tons of variety to your runs!

I've never played Total Annihilation or Supreme COmmander back in the day. This game is so amazing that it makes me sad that I never did. But the good thing is, I can enjoy it right now. It's still technically in beta, but it's already a complete game that you can enjoy, and I strongly recommend you do.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

This isn't even close to being a boomer shooter, wtf. Anyway this game is extremely well made, intentionally low poly designs but high quality in the action and the fun. It scratches the itch that many dissatisfied Battlefield fans were craving, and it does a good job at that.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Never had one, but repeatedly thought about getting one because of portable emulation. Nowadays there are better options for that, but the Vita itself is still a really nice little machine. At least for now, I'm happy with my Switch tho.

Varyag,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Offline games that don't have anything on the Steam Workshop? Yeah this is the perfect kind of game to pick up on GoG! At that excellent price, too.
