What honestly surprises me the most about Bethesda is that they managed to release a remaster of Oblivion instead of yet another Skyrim version. They must have tied Todd to a chair in the basement for the whole development to let that happen.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

Steam is the very, very rare case of a major company that is both not beholden to shareholders, and has a pretty good guy at the helm.

Am I the only one who doesn’t need real-time raytraced lighting? Show off the skills of your artists with some fancy pre-baked stuff instead.

Try Proton Experimental. I got massive frame time improvements after doing that.

“Should we take this as a lesson that the players want more originality in their games, to the point where they’re turning to other sources for it?”

“Nah, just get rid of the competition.”

The problem with new MMOs is that nobody wants to sink time into something that has an 80% chance of being shuttered in a few years

Probably because it doesn’t have to run all the bloatware and spyware.

I’ve had my eye on Forever Winter for a little while, but the mixed reviews put me off it.

Also, I really like Arc Raiders’ aesthetic.

Well, Dune does have a player-run auction house. I haven’t checked myself, but I don’t doubt that you could get end-game mats on there.

Right. But as I mentioned you can put 100 hours into the game without fighting another player. And all the end-game stuff is for is the final tier of gear, which mostly change stats and resource gathering rates.

As someone with about 120 hours in Dune, I will say that I got all the way there without once fighting another player. The main map is PvE except for a few spots. I only set foot in the end-game PvP-enabled area once for about 20 seconds, and I think that since then the devs implemented a PvE-only part of that area. And most of the problems people have with the game stem from the end-game content, which I haven’t touched yet.

Common Microsoft L

And now we can’t trust them whenever they say that again.

Wow, now it only looks 20 years old

At this point I don’t trust anything with an MS logo. Watch it turn out to analyze your save data to make some kind of gamer AI.

I feel like the market is 30% remakes or remasters right now.

Trans people keep their interests after transitioning.

I think Nvidia has better marketing. I never really hear anything about AMD cards, where I would I instead hear about Nvidia.

Indie devs want to make a game

AAA devs want to make money

It’s that simple.

Also, I can’t remember the last time I played a AAA game that was anything more than alright.
