This one will still be playable offline after the fact, so its offer is way better than the games that are the focus of the Stop Killing Games movement. The games they’re targeting are completely unplayable after being killed.

Exactly. Some of my favorite movies are not at all masterpieces but you can tell the whole cast and crew are enjoying their time on set. I’m hoping this is that.

This could actually work if they go the way of the Need for Speed movie and try not to directly tie it to any one game’s storyline. Absolute banger of a game universe with plenty of potential for fun.

If this is true, please let there be a story sequel, too. I want more BT, dammit!

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

I’d also settle for Spider-Man 2 or the Ratchet & Clank remake.

Thanks for the summary. I started on PS1 and we haven’t really seen many fan projects for anything in that era just yet. I’m hoping this type of stuff makes it to PS1 and above at some point so I can enjoy this type of nostalgia.

Now I know to look out for this sort of stuff if we ever do make it to that point.

I guess I get it a little bit, but do these get custom labels and a box? Being limited run, it’s probably cost prohibitive to press them. On top of this, unless you go digging, does this make any difference to how the game runs?

Just seems odd to complain about this. Maybe I’m missing something.

Edit: looked again and missed the fact that these won’t run on the actual hardware. Now I get it. Yeah. This would annoy me, too.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a great way to break this metric as well. Fantastic emotional rollercoaster of a story that’s over in about 2-3 hours. The original Portal also fits here. Probably about 4-6 hours for most people, but hits hard on quality and impact.

I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.

I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.

I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

I have a fun time with the Rockstar Launcher for RDR2. It’s a 50/50 chance it will actually launch properly. The other half of the time, it tells me I don’t have access rights to the game.

Thanks, DRM!

I guess the market for this is people who… um… it’s for someone that… uh…

Who the fuck would buy this?

Like, is it for people who don’t know about literally any other PC handheld?

Super glad to see this for these guys. I’ve been messing around with UEVR for a ton of games and it’s worked really well for most of them. It’ll be great seeing this same dev team get to make some money from their efforts.

Agreed. My last LCD has lasted me over 10 years (1080p ultra wide). I only upgraded because my roommate got a new display and didn’t need his old one.

This just sounds like it’ll generate e-waste.

I have been wanting more Okami since the first time I completed it in 2009. I just want more of this universe! (And no, Okamiden on the DS just isn’t the same)

Bullet heaven is what I’ve heard as an antithesis of bullet hell. You’re the source of the bullets.

I’ll pick up maybe one or two games a year at full price. Just about everything else goes in a wishlist and I’ll just wait for a sale.

I finally started messing around with the Hitman games for the first time and their game design would feel fantastic as a Bond thriller. I can’t wait to give this a shot.

I’m guessing the Deck is a lot of people’s only gaming PC. Much easier entry than a full blown gaming desktop. It may run far worse than a desktop, but it may be the only way to play for them.
