It is, and it’s stupid. The only real thing they changed this time around is “supine” aiming so you can look 360° while lying down. Overall it’s lower down in the recent cod releases for me. Wouldn’t be bothering with it if it wasn’t free on gamepass.
Treyarch just isn’t as good a developer as the others. The black ops games always seem to lack polish. I’d probably not bother if it wasn’t for free on gamepass, but I’ve been debating dropping gamepass and wouldn’t buy it outright.
I’m confused by this, I didn’t think mw3 was received poorly and playing blops6 I definitely think mw3 was better.
Rayman legends is an amazing platformer and I would argue the music levels in that game far surpass anything in Mario Wonder. It’s legitimately a great series and if you haven’t you should check some of the games out.
The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven’t tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.
I mean those kinds of things arent atypical in elder scrolls and fallout. It gives the world a little flare to it if done right.
I wouldn’t have an issue with many different communications platforms if they didn’t all require an account (also Discord not being indexable sucks).
I also think most people don’t see the market, it’s only got this amount of attention on phones because of the success on steam.
A odd side note, someone was pretty clever and found a way to port the steam version to ios and Android well before the official port - https://retrohandhelds.gg/how-to-install-balatro-on-android-and-ios/. I’ll admit to having used this to play on my phone over the summer, but definitely bought it again once it hit the app store.
If you’re into Metroidvanias “Prince of Persia: Lost Crown” was actually a real surprise hit. I think it’s the first Ubisoft game I’ve played in years.
Yeah, nothing like overinflating the value of things to make your 12k retro console emulator bust sound impressive. Pretty sure stopping a single shipping container from China would find more contraband.
Yeah, my understanding is Disney is partially at fault for a lot of these flops. I don’t think they’d make a KOTOR or Jedi Knight game.
Which is so underrated, I’d put it as better than any of the recent 2D Mario games. Years later and Mario Wonder doesn’t even come close to the music levels in Rayman Legends.
Yeah, but is it good?
I recently tried “My Time at Portia” which I recall had similar issues around being developed by a Chinese company. Even though it has a lot of really good reviews, the game is janky and okay at best. All the comments for Black Myth are calling out politics, but I want to know is it actually any good.
Which seems like a pretty typical state for the industry. Knowing what will be a success has always been a gamble and companies are always over/under investing in certain areas (mmorpgs, FPS, live-service, etc.).
Thanks, I’ll have to take a look into that, I can definitely tell the microsd struggles (and it would free up my microsd slot for extra steamos storage).
Is that faster than loading it on a microsd card? That’s how I currently boot windows on my steamdeck, but it’s a little slow to load and initial loads for some games can be painful.
Who likes the casting choices? I think I’ve only heard criticism on the casting.
It’s great for those little bumps in resolution, but there is a real trade off between resolution and the art direction/intent. Because these systems are effectively “filling in the gaps” at a certain point you really end up making it up/corrupting the original.
Yeah, Tunic is a great game. I’ve also heard Return to the Obra Dinn is supposed to be similar.
I’ve used them games that are more point and click (like strange horticulture).
