IMO yes. I hate PvP, but so many games these days seem to be about trying to ease me into it. “Well what if only SOME of the enemies are players??” How about none? If the game would be fun like that, I wanna play it. If there’s enough people who agree with me to make it financially viable, devs should do it, IMO.
As a linux gamer, I agree…
Trying to enforce security on a machine you don’t own is ultimately fruitless, no matter how far you go with it.
Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners
How deep does this rabbit hole go? Will the banks eventually claim they’re fine with porn but are being restricted by the illuminati or something?
I don’t like it either and they’re from my country. I also don’t like when America exports its bullshit either, mind you.
It’s a shame, but unsurprising. Especially with everyone addicted to live service skinner boxes now and a certain someone insisting live services would cease to exist overnight if this went anywhere.
Perhaps they’re hoping to stop people from going to linux for gaming. PC gaming has certainly not hurt their stranglehold on the top OS spot.
Well I also stopped playing most AAA games a while ago, which is where you see console lead platform the most, so yeah I don’t have a newer example sorry. They may or may not exist, I wouldn’t know.
Everything huh? I’ll believe that when I see it. :P I’ve been waiting on Bloodborne and the Demon’s Souls remaster for so long.
I also don’t completely agree console targeted games are a good thing. Sure, controller standardisation has been great for games played on a controller, but if you have any other type of peripheral, that thing is still using DirectInput, with all the associated issues. Plus I’m sure Mass Effect 2 wasn’t the only game that was less than it could have been for being console first.
And yeah, a lot of older PC games were targeted at hypothetical future computers. In many cases that worked out; you could play it on medium now, and play it on high on your newer PC in future years (which maybe it’s just because I was younger and had less money, or maybe it’s because the games industry has expanded since then, or a bit of bother, but I feel like that was more a thing in the past than often happens now). There were also cases where it didn’t work out, of course. Notably Crysis, which was coded assuming CPUs would continue their meteoric rise in single core clock speed, which basically stopped being a thing the day it came out. Meaning PCs today still can’t run it that well.
What was I saying? Eh nevermind.
Not sure I agree on the “better news”. I’d love if they gave up on making consoles and put more stuff on PC, tho if they pivoted to cloud only that would indeed be the worst outcome. :P
That said, sure, the ideal outcome would be PS6 and releasing games on PC. I don’t want a new console but I respect people who do.
70% seems super low, I’d say 100%. Given enough time, if the online component is not released or emulated, that portion of the game that requires it WILL die. It is inevitable.
His art was mid, and he was obviously a monster. We should still preserve his art.
I’m sure it could. Unless they change it up, they’re all gonna be on the same architecture, and modern consoles have what amounts to an OS.
Will it? I dunno, I doubt it somehow.
