Are there really that many games shutting down so soon after release? I know there’s a handful of games that basically just flopped out the gate and got canned soon after, but nearly everything I’ve encountered has run for 5+ years, or at least is in the position to do so if it’s not that old yet. Is it just that I’m over in the corner where the games don’t suck and I’m out of touch with how things are?

Just picked up hot wheels unleashed 2 on the steam sale. It’s an absolute blast, definitely near the top of the heap of racing games for me

Because it’s the next step in exerting their demands for control?

And also a free games tap

Great, more union slop.

Have they even made anything? Or just jerked themselves off and taken home a paycheck?

I hear people talk about ads in windows 10 all the time, but I can’t say I’ve ever personally run into them, unless you’re one of those people who calls the “try switching to edge” in your browser settings an ad

I just find this specific complaint to be absolutely perplexing because not only has one drive never just started syncing random stuff, I have to make sure the things I put in actually get synced and aren’t just lest waiting when I close the system. And this is on factory installed windows where I’ve largely not messed with anything.

Sounds like a skill issue tbh. I’ve never run into one drive trying to grab up my entire documents folder, across 4 separate windows computers and multiple installs. And I doubt Microsoft has just decided to bless me, personally, in this regard.

Honestly, I feel like any manner of integrating the game pad screen is going to end up feeling like a downgrade, simply because of how information dense the map is compared to the minimap on the main screen. I’ve been emulating it, and playing it on a multi monitor setup has been absolutely amazing.

Enjoy your garbage

It doesn’t have to be ‘deep’ to be compelling

Sure. But it still fucking sucked

The story is what a middle schooler thinks constitutes “deep writing”, and the gameplay felt like a tacked on mess made by someone who saw a video game on the internet once without a single clue of what makes them good

For some fucking reason

Lmao good. Maybe he can get his ass out of the way and let someone competent make games instead

buy a Nvidia card and host it yourself

On the other hand, the entire ad was about the “shiney collectibles” aspect, and the actual utility of those cards (ie, battling) was barely an afterthought. That doesn’t say great things about their priorities here

I mean I know they said battling would be streamlined, but realistically the entire format is basically already laid out for them, since it’s literally just taking the tcg and making it digital. As a result, there’s very little to actually show off on the front of gameplay, especially considering that everyone who cares probably already plays tcg online anyway.

I finally bothered to set up dolphin on my (vaguely) new computer and get all the roms transferred over, so I’m enjoying a challenge run on pokepark Wii where I don’t upgrade anything at all. Overall the game is pretty easy, but there have been a good few challenges that require either a lot of luck, or really figuring out the games AI.

Hell, probably even a few people to his left as well
