Yeah idk what else can be a testimony of a game being a “hut” ; I don’t trust metacritic scores either

Yeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers :

The group’s “main catalogue”—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs

So that’s like 50+ songs that were “hits”, wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards

That was what I was trying to convey thanks for being better at words haha

I remember when gearbox released a video about working on ROR2 after they acquired the IP. The CEO or creative director or whoever was talking about understanding people’s expectations, and called them “users”. Not players, not fans, just “users”. I thought this was a good enough warning that they had no idea what they were doing.

I think it was this video but I don’t remember the timestamp : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzD3jWETeW4 the fact that this is barely a documentary on the history of the game and itself a disguised and for their upcoming (at the time) dlc was another forewarning sign…

On the other hand, since it’s Ubisoft, you’re guaranteed a 70% sale 8 months after release for each of their games. I don’t know why anyone would buy their games on release when they all get deep discounts less than a year later

Unless it’s because so many people fall for their scams that they can afford those kind of sales

This is quite a smart solution, good job !

I admire your patience in interacting with such an obnoxious individual lol

They did a good job with their first title (as a new studio) : Weird West had a great recipe for systemic gameplay, I don’t know if it sold as much as they were hoping (and reviews were okay), but they definitely have the right people to work on a spiritual successor to Arkane’s hits

It’s an open world survival crafting tower defense rogue like survivor like early access gacha !

Graphics wise mostly, it runs okay (30 to 40 FPS), but there’s some input lag because of it in some environment heavy parts

I don’t know if this will get as much content as Skyrim has do far, but this is huge, I’m hoping we get to see how deep modders can go

Yeah at this point they’re basically the same thing. The important difference you have to know is that Emudeck will install emulators independently, and show them as their own games in your Steam library, whereas Retrodeck will install ES-de and only show one executable in your Steam library, from which you will launch your emulated games. It’s a matter of preference.

Thanks ! Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people mentioning Factorio, which I have not played yet, but I think it’s an excellent choice as well considering the requirements!

I think the goal is probably to not get bored by the only 3 games available, so with that in mind :

• Skyrim would last long enough to provide entertainment within those 5 years, there’s tons of replayability with mods. Witcher 3, RDR2, BG3, are good options as well.

• Then something lighter to come back to, to unwind, like Trackmania (probably United for the multi environment, or 2020 for the latest features), because the editor mode allows for potentially infinite tracks to be made and played offline on top of the official campaign tracks. Kerbal Space Program could fit those criterias too.

• And lastly, probably a rogue like that feels fresh every new run, I’m not a fan of Hades, so I’ll pick Dead Cells, or Balatro, or Pyre, or… there’s so many choices in that category!

…yet !

What worries me is : can a bad actor reproduce whatever bug was corrupting SteamOS, and publish games on the storefront with the sole intent to mess with people?

This sounds awfully condescending but still, thanks for all those details !

Good catch thank you !

Exactly, so I’m pretty sure a professional photographer knows which way to orient a photo to share their vision, when Eliott Erwin crops a picture of a dog with its owner, it’s not at random, there are deliberate choices made before publishing, the photographer could have taken a picture of the subject on their left side, and reversed the picture to show them walking towards the right to achieve whatever vision they had

Couldn’t it just be a dumb and simple reason like : the picture is reversed and it’s showing the left ear ?
