I wonder what specifically is causing this issue
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
I wonder what specifically is causing this issue
It probably doesn’t help that it’s abandonware and was limited largely to the PC and Xbox 360.
A lot of people only hear about it in “top abandonware games” lists that would mention it and games like Alpha Protocol which was recently relisted.
Do you have any other games where the first hour was extremely enjoyable?
I felt that way about Returnal
I feel like 2006 was a bit like a rollercoaster. You kind of just enjoy the ride and eagerly await what’s coming next. It helps it’s a relatively short game by today’s standards with HowLongToBeat saying it will take seven hours to complete.
If you’ve played prop hunt and like randomly beating objects to find out what’s people you’ll probably like 2017.
In all seriousness though it is a good game that has a decent amount of fun frantic chaotic combat. I feel like it’s a bit difficult to compare to other games but if I had to I’d say it reminds me a bit of BioShock and Control
If anyone wants to give it a try there are several source ports of it so you can play it on an a lot of alternative systems like the PS Vita for example
Kind of reminds me of how I played The Long Dark. I turned all of hazards to minimal and treated it like a walking simulator/exploration game
I mean you aren’t too far off. Honestly I wouldn’t mind it. I would rather have a feature rich simpler looking game than something that’s fancy and shallow.
I’d be more than impressed by something just basically recreates the original Sims experience.
That’s kind of like Tiny Life. It is similar to the Sims but with retro graphics. Lots of people bought it as soon as it hit early access when a lot of core things were missing.
I wonder what games would take up that much space for save files. I mean if a game is autosaving frequently sure but I feel like you’d need a decent amount of them
That’s unfortunate. A nice gesture but it’s a bit late. Kind of like removing online DRM immediately before a game becomes abandonware.
I really hope Valve doesn’t start making small incremental changes to the Steam Deck like devices in the emulation handheld scene (Powkiddy, Anbernic, etc.) do.
I’d feel a lot less incentivised to buy one if I felt like my device was going to immediately age out. I imagine less developers would make system settings specifically for the Steam Deck like Cyberpunk 2077 did or design third party peripherals.
Any reason they are releasing it now instead of when the game or the show released?
I didn’t watch the video the article references but it seems to be missing a big part of why so many NSFW games have been added to places like itch.io and Steam in the past couple years.
COVID 19. A significant amount of developers got started during the quarantine and continued on afterwards. Development of a lot of these games slowed down afterwards and many were abandoned though. A big percentage of them make direct reference to some kind of quarantine or virus.
It probably helped, as well, that so many people were stuck at home and the tools to create these games have become more accessible in the past couple years.
I think it has just spiralled since then with lewd games sneaking into people’s recommended games list and others making jokes or commenting about it. Fetish Locator was one that some people might recall.
I don’t think games like Cyberpunk 2077 can be considered sex games because they have occasionally have visual genitals and carefully framed sex scenes. That seems more like a natural progression like people’s tolerance for violence in video games.
I found this post by doing a search for “TTW” on mbin and got lucky. YouTube and Reddit have been all but useless as tutorials all assume you have a windows pc for heavy lifting. I got a deck to be my pc.
Neat. By the way check the megathread for Gnarly’s reentry page. His old website is down.
You can install TTW on the Steam Deck. You could probably set it up in Lutris and just alter the selected executable back and forth throughout the installation process.
That said Gnarly Repacks has a TTW repack that streamlines the process.
How did you come across this post by the way? Just curious considering it’s three months old.
I doubt it. Most people seem to regard Creation Club content as something different than regular mods. You can check out the content that’s available here but a majority of it is closer to the paid skins found in online games than what people typically associate with modding and meaningfully altering a game.
I think Bethesda knows this and most people looking to mod Fallout 4 are probably going to continue working with what’s available.
Yeah it doesn’t help that the Steam version would likely try to auto-update and I don’t believe there is an easy way to downgrade.
I could be wrong about that latter point. There might be an option in the properties menu similar to how you can opt into betas.
I’ll have to watch the BBC interview. The way the article is worded makes it sounds like they’ve been in communication with Bethesda while creating Fallout London.
Nice to see the article mention the source port
