Hm. Maybe I’ll do it, then. Don’t know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90’s and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don’t want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn’t have one.

Why am I not surprised.

Always online even in singleplayer is already a non-starter, but other than that (people literally not being able to play the game on release due to congested login servers) the driving is subpar, the city map looks nice but is empty like a ghost town, the driving is subpar, the soundtrack is terrible, the radio inserts sound AI generated, and progression seems bad too.

Oh, and apparently this was the best they could do after several delays of over a year. I hear the entire dev team went on strike against their publisher immediately after release too. And to think they also trashed their last WRC title for this, too. Just an absolute drawn out shitshow.

Literally Talos from the Night Lords. He’s my favorite war criminal and murderer. The books made him so likeable that the author had to make the character himself remind the others (and the reader) that he’s evil, lol.

You sure it isn’t the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?

And then when I say allbillionaires should be put into flaming woodchippers feet first I’m the one that’s out of line.

Thanks for taking that L for the industry again, Peter.

The fact that this is possible and they were real about not using Denuvo makes me actually want to buy it later. I thought it was going to be always online even on the story mode, but it is fully playable offline and only the multiplayer modes are online, as it should be.

also, get flashbanged by the extremely bright white logo screen on a dark game at night

Eh, it’s annoying but it wasn’t even a very good wad. If you want to play it, you can just download it off the internet and play it on another free sourceport.

Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry and Dragon Age: full of insipid, unnecessary microtransactions ranging from regular consumable items, to cosmetics that were usually just included with the game normally. God I love Capcom’s games but I hate them as a company.

Although I grew up with Playstation controllers in my hands, ever since I tried an XBox 360 controller I never went back. I’ve been using XBone controllers on my PC for years now, and I just love the ergonomics of them in my hand, the clicky D-pad, the rounded buttons. I’ve always hated the PS dpad, it hurts my thumb. Now, I probably won’t keep buying “original” XBox controllers, but anything with that shape and feels that comfortable in my hand, will be my choice.

I really want to get one of those.

Sony REALLY wanted this to be the next big thing, the next Overwatch. Except even Overwatch itself failed at being the “next Overwatch” so this is hilarious.

It’s all of those factors, combined. It’s like a granny turtle trying to catch a trend that went past it 5 years ago. And the entire game being horribly, terribly visually unappealing with the worst character designs ever, does not help at all.

Yes, yes it is. The term coined by the Ubishit CEO trying to cover his own ass by claiming that Skull and Bones took so much time and money to make, and was being sold for higher than $60 (while still being a pile of shit) by saying it was a “AAAA game” and the term stuck. I mean, it’s own very first use was to describe a terrible AAA game. It’s only natural.

As much of this particular incident being kind of a nothingburger, Magnussen did show quite poor driving standards regarding collisions lately, and at SOME POINT the rule had to be enforced, right? First time since it was created that someone actually got a race ban, despite several drivers deserving one in the past. Hell, even Gasly himself narrowly escaped one because nobody wanted to be the one to give him his final 2 points.

I came here to type almost this exact comment, down to the number of hours played and money spent. And all that money I spent was on 50% off or higher discount tickets, too. Anyway, while I have gotten tired of the grind and quit a while ago because I didn’t gel much with the new systems introduced, it was still a great game I have many fond memories of playing.

oohh that is nice, I think I’ll swap my nano to that.
