This sounds amazing. I’m just now hearing about this game and hearing it’s made with the Steam Deck in mind is an added bonus.
They know their audience because this is going to be very popular with people on the go and wanting something on the Deck.
But still requiring that piece of shit, knock off launcher “Ubisoft Connect”, so this means nothing.
Only benefit to users is better customer service and refund practices through Valve and integration with Steam community. Other than that, fucking useless if you’re still requiring users to download and install that shitty launcher, Ubisoft.
It’s kind of fitting since it follows the events of RDR2. There were a lot of people who had never played RDR, so they will get to experience it for the first time as the story is meant to be told, chronologically speaking.
I imagine a good handful of people will be disappointed by some of the outdated mechanics that were improved in RDR2. Hopefully people understand that this game came out 8 years before RDR2 and had massive differences.
One still annoying thing about this release is that according to the Steam page it “Requires 3rd-Party Account: Rockstar Games”. For a single-player game that’s always a nuisance since there’s no multiplayer content in this release.
This really sucks and makes zero sense. GTA V has it too, so not too much of a surprise considering how scummy every “AAA” game company is becoming.
The mobile adaptation will be handled by PUBG Studios, the same team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
TIL wow
What was the issue you faced? Or was it multiple issues?
I’ll start the bidding at the reasonable price of $0.50
I wish they had implemented this sooner. For a very long while, Microsoft logins were broken on the Deck and only just got fixed a few months ago, if I remember right. Before that, you had to blindly enter your credentials and hope you were clicking the right spots and it was picking up your typed words. It was a mess.
But this is good news to hear. While Sony shoots themselves in the foot by requiring it, Microsoft’s studios’ devs are going the opposite direction. Hope to see more of this.
I wasn’t really sure what the benefit was of having the account linked anyway. Because I was hoping to sync my backyards across devices so I could play on the go, but it didn’t seem to do that when I finally could log into Microsoft successfully.
Most of these seem to just put most of the money into corporations run by lawyers, so that doesn’t make much sense. Transferring money from one corp to the next.
Millions going to the lawyers and pennies going to the actual victims of the suit.
But they still require Uplay or whatever the fuck they’re calling that shitty Steam knock-off, aren’t they? So what’s the point? You can already add non-Steam games into your Steam library.
Ubisoft needs to get rid of that ugly piece of shit app they keep trying to shove down everyone’s throats and let Steam be the end all be all launcher if they want us to use a launcher. Either I buy off your storefront and just use your shitty launcher or I buy off my preferred launcher and never have to touch your shitty launcher at all. Or, better yet, I buy the fucking game and don’t have to use any launcher!
The only benefits I get from this is having a cleaner layout in Steam to see what I’m interested in and the ability to have better customer service through Valve than going through Ubisoft when I have an issue. Other than that, this is stupid and Ubisoft isn’t even doing the bare minimum yet again.
Go back to letting Steam do all the work for you post release and you just focus on making the damn game, Ubisoft.
Yes! We need more bigger VR projects. Ok getting tired of the smaller projects that are small scale. But hoping this will be similar to Alyx which is currently one of the best VR games.
That’s part of the problem. Not blaming fans of the series for buying merch, but Microsoft sees no issue with the way 343 is mismanaging one of their biggest gaming franchises because they’re still racking in money from the merch.
But this should signal to them that change is needed because fans are probably buying merch for the old stuff and they could capitalize on that with newer, better games that return to the old roots.
There would be no more internet access for anyone anymore if that were allowed.
Soooo many insecure networks out there ripe for the picking if you know what you’re doing and have the tools available. And the tools are often free, not costing any money. From there, those networks are the places people will go to commit their “piracy”.
And what exactly is piracy? If I purchase an album on iTunes but choose to download it on ThePirateBay, is that really piracy? Because I have done that when the music THAT I FUCKING PAID FOR is no longer available for me to download off of iTunes and Apple won’t give me a refund for said music purchase. People do it for games that include shitty DRM and don’t allow them to easily install on another device like Linux too.
It seems easier to find things for users. Probably part of dumbing things down.
My mom went through this last week with Libre Office. She said she couldn’t find anything because the ribbons from Word weren’t there. I found the option and enabled it and she said that was much better.
Whereas, I use Word 365 on a daily basis but I still know where things are from the classic menus.
But users want big pictures and less words, less menus.
So UI designers have done that.
You see that in the change between Windows 7 and Windows 8 in heavy ways. More buttons and less menus.
I fucking hate the dumbing down, especially on servers.
It’s backed by the likes of Samsung, Square Enix, Circle & Mysten Labs and is taking aim at both SteamOS from Valve and Windows from Microsoft to give a simple interface to get gaming on handheld PCs and more.
This is going to be interesting. I think Valve will welcome the competition while Microsoft is not going to like this if they notice an impact.
It’ll be interesting to see what new features they can bring to the table that Valve can implement or improve SteamOS on.
But loving to see more Linux options and less reliance on Windows!
Great, another PvP game.
A second USB port wouldn’t hurt either.
It’s a fantastic game. I haven’t finished it, but it was a really interesting atmosphere and I loved the horror game mechanics combined with that Bethesda feel it had. Felt in between Fallout 4 and Starfield with good components taken from each.
