Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball
Just tried. Free version, no sub. Works well. I use GeForce Now like twice a year. Not something to sub to all the time. Something to sub like one month a year to when it’s the best option you got
Stopped buying Ubisoft games for years. Don’t even play the ones I already have. It’s been a crappy company since at least Assassin’s Creed 2 single player always online pioneering
Windows won’t turn around and go back to a simpler advertisement-free offline account model this decade. Core Windows developers may know that they’re making things worse. Leadership won’t care as long as they get temporary boosts in numbers for office, copilot, and OneDrive subscriptions
Amazing thing for open platform operating systems when Windows Phone failed (MS managed that like trash. It didn’t have a chance)
Good for me. It’s almost like how all the Switch Pro rumors became Switch 2 rumors and people being in denial it could be 2 because that’d be too weak in the year of release. Switch 2 is fine. Designs at this point are advanced. No sudden switching to 2030 GPU/CPU designs. You’ll get AMD 2027 designs in 2030 and budget gaming PCs in 2030+ will feast because of that
Me having spent zero dollars on this. Only interaction ever was installing that hangar thing back when it was the only thing. Maybe there was some demo when the space station first became available and some fps gameplay test.
Still looking forward to it. If the story is good, works on Linux, I’ll buy it. I remember a decade ago being worried the Haswell and Maxwell PC I was putting together wouldn’t be good enough when Star Citizen would drop. Not very concerned anymore
That is one of the first things I noticed when I’ve switched between ATI/AMD and Nvidia early in my Linux usage time. Now I’ve swapped between Nvidia, AMD, and Intel with problems in the past few years
After the Witcher 3 successful, felt like GoG became a sideshow for CD Project. This could be really good if this in any way helps them operate without being a part of a game dev first studio. I don’t think it’ll ever be as popular as Steam for new releases without DRM but it can be way more popular. They need a big picture/gamepad interface and a streamlined Proton-type solution. I think mobile/handhelds are where they can compete well with steam for more buyers
I also remember GoG being a really low profit/barely breaking even store. Not a great situation being a part of a public company
Low power gaming is better than ever. AAA graphics games are uncommon and unremarkable. It doesn’t take great hardware to play like 99% of great games of the 2020s. Same with pretty much everything before 2020. Steam Deck is a non high end laptop
I wouldn’t be surprised if the combat evolved remake does worse than the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. Halo CE fans are a well served fanbase. It’s just that they have flubbed every mainline game in some way after Reach. I don’t see the Halo appetite around the internet. Not at all in my old friends from the OG Xbox and PC Halo lan party days
Still waiting for FFIX pixel hd remake. Or update the regular FFIX with that faster combat animations mod so it’s pleasant out the box
