Quoting: Axel Ekholm Cool i guess but i still don't get why you should care about achievements. I care about having fun playing a game, not having achievement.

They can aid in replayability by encouraging you to play the game in ways you otherwise wouldn't, and its just fun to collect little mementos of some of your favorite games to reminisce about in the future. I still don't get why some people have to be negative towards a feature that harms nobody and enhances the experience for some.

Define your version of "having fun". It bet it doesn't align with mine.

For some people achievements are like stamps. And stamp collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. It may not appeal to you, but achievements are a way of documenting progress in a game and some people like collecting souvenirs from their virtual journeys.

Some people in games want more story, less shooting. some people want more shooting, don't need any story. Everyone is different.

I really like this game, I hope Nintendo won't try to sue them.

No option for those that didn't get the chance to get Shadow of the Templars box edition :(

So I might just wait until it lands on Steam.

It's nice that No Man's Sky 2026 has finally caught up with World of Warcraft 2012.

Why can't you have both?

When you play a game for long enough and look for something to do, achievements can be considered as side quests. Achievements for different endings or story choices can motivate you to play a game differently. There are bad achievements, like "kill 50000 wolves", but overall it can be a good tool for powering up replayability.

Wait, what? Base degradation happens when a player is NOT playing, not DURING gameplay?!

LOL, added this game to the "nope" list.

Does it let you ask your facebook friends for extra energy bars too?

I was able to play 2 coop multiplayer matches yesterday, one joining to a host, and the other being the host myself (I had to look for players who wanted to play on the Discord channel, but they were eager to do it without any drama, all very pragmatic). It was very fun, though I noticed how far behind I ended up by never trying other classes.
What surprised me was how well the multiplayer worked, no lag at all in any session, the first we were 4 players, and the second 2. Very clean netcode it seems, also Godot rules.

Has anyone managed to run the Steam versions on Steam Deck/Linux with Classic Rebirth? So far I could launch RE3 (with some graphical issues which weren't presented in the old CD version) and DC2.

I played two games on Luna (free with amazon prime). Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Hogwarts Legacy. It was ... functional. I could play the games and didn't really have major technical problems. What I did have was pretty major input lag. Nothing you'd notice while running around in the game, but grab your mouse for some menu-ing and you notice instantly. It also made it hard to use guns in Indiana Jones. Graphically it kind of looks mediocre. Having a 1080p render on my 1440p ultrawide that went through video compression is just not something to write home about.

I have now cancelled my prime subscription. Only one more subscription left to cancel!

it's the gamers's mindset, they always want to achieve something 😄

Quoting: CaldathrasSadly, Bazzite is not for me. They have very poor Nvidia legacy hardware support. CachyOS, on the other hand ...

How legacy are we talking? Nouveau is getting quite nice these days :)

the game is technically over 20 years old

Steam says release date was Nov 22, 2011; maybe it was available outside of Steam earlier?

One of my extensions (Augmented Steam?) says it was last updated Oct 29, 2012 - so clearly the new update still hasn't been applied to the release branch yet.

Quoting: Dana SoulyWhat are keyboard AI keys? Is this one button where AI takes over the PC? 🤣

New laptops have copilot key if they have copilot certification thing, I also see galaxy ai button on new samsung keyboards for tablets

Apparently it has expanded beyond that:

Dunno what jackasses buy that nonsense, but at least you'll be able to map them to something useful.

Quoting: Eocene84It will be interesting to see if they try to sell Twitch when that happens...

It needs to be owned by a not-for-profit or non-profit collective or co-operative.

All the "guilds" need to get better organized and take themselves more seriously. They need to double down on branding, set up homepages and better structures and by-laws.

They also need to set up microblogs like GNUsocial, host their own IRC and bridge to twitch's (if possible -- I think it is?), and their own PeerTubes. Among others.

Start emphesizing people donate directly to the hosts and their respective Guilds then use that money to support themselves and one another equally.

Right now, amazon gets 60% of subscription money. Frankly, with all the money that company has, they would be fine for a long time making far less. I would be livid and disgusted if I streamed on such a platform.

People need to think bigger and learn their lessons already.
Stop relying on closed source software.
Stop relying on centralized platforms.
Stop relying on big corporations for anything.
Get together. Get organized. Reclaim soverignty.

This page took forever to fully load. lol

But anyways, even if they're not the main devs on it, Konami and Castlevania aren't indie.

Thanks, I prefer things the funny way. ;-)

Wish Fallout76 did this, give the user more control in who and how they want to play. But nope, you want self-hosted, then pay a subscription... pfft.

Hope someone hacks FO76 in time to give us at-home-self-hosted options and let friends join via TCP/UDP. The dream. Because then you could run some real wild mods provided friends also have the mods.

Quoting: pbAll I can see is they announced a bunch of YouTube logos. 😝

Happy to know it's not just me :)

As an extra privacy step, we don't auto-show youtube videos.

And that's great if you ask me.

I second that!

This is the only website that I know of that does this and I'm very grateful to Liam.

The corpo dream of having people adhere to the idea of "you will own nothing and you will love it", beyond its sarcastic tone, is failing and I cannot be happier.

MP3 players are having a resurgence. Vynil is king and wired headphones are increasingly popular with gen z as is the whole 2000s aesthetic. AI is also being slowly rejected. The world is learning.

Stream nothing. Own what you consume. Do not let monthly subscriptions consume your financial independence.

I've digressed a bit here but I do think the future is that of less big business and more small businesses working with each other simply because there will be little to no jobs to be had after corporations outsource everything under the veil of "AI efficiency".

When big tech and every other "big whatever" gets forever contracts with governments around the world they will no longer need regular small consumers like us to rely on for profits and so all of their services will be created to serve none of our needs.

We will learn to provide for ourselves again and trade with each other for products and services since corporations already only exist to generate profit for stakeholders as per their fiduciary duty.

Good to hear all the options they've added for base preservation. But then, none of these band-aids would be required if there was no degradation in the first place.

I get why degradation was useful in this case - it's a shared server, and you build a geographically quite large base over the landscape, so if you're not ever coming back to play the game, it's a pain for the people who are. Hell, on the server I was on, there was one base that was so large, it cut off two fairly vital routes to/from the third area (I forget its name), forcing you to do a run over the worm-sands to get in. They knew what they were doing with that too - total dick move, and a perfect reminder of why I generally can't stand playing any kind of game with the wider internet (get offa ma lawn!).

But in self-hosted instances, they'd better offer the option to simply remove degradation, because it's pointless in a self-hosted instance.

Just amazing how many four-player co-op games and sequels/DLC there is this year though.
