Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: rcritEvery time I think I want to play this I look at reviews that call it a backpack management simulator. I don't know what to believe.

It's a backpack management simulator in the same sense that a role playing game is a dialog simulator.

And in the sense that Ico is a game that's entirely escort mission, Shadow of the Colossus is a game that's entirely boss fight, and Minecraft is a game about moving blocks. As in, reductive to the point of uselessness.

In common with those games Death Stranding is a game that's focused on the experience for the player rather than solely on the gameplay loop.

Whether rcrit would enjoy it is impossible to say (and if they're swayed against it by random reviews by numpties I'd suspect not) since it really needs a significant time and emotional investment from the player - the tutorial is longer than most games at about 10 hours.

Are you currently having issues you want to see solved?

The notification bell popping up for things that you've said you don't want to be notified about is still super annoying, and has been super annoying since they introduced the notification bell.

Quoting: lucinosActually something is very wrong with the GPUs. They add up to more than 100%.

They've also all grown this month rather than some growing and some shrinking. Very peculiar.

Quoting: _wojtekI wonder... couldn't Valve just collect the stats without the "survey prompt" to get saner results?

They're collecting information about their users and publishing it for any third party that wants to use it for any reason. Whether or not permission is strictly legally required for that, it's better to err on the side of getting the permission than not.

They likely also have very detailed moment-to-moment internal data about exactly who's using their network & services, but they aren't sharing that.

Getting Talos Principle and Qube vibes from it, both of which the little one loved. So I've wishlisted it & I'll check out the demo when I get a chance.

You're still going to look a fair bit silly with it though but who really cares when you're the master of comfort.

I don't think I can really visualise this; I think we're going to need pictures.

We have dedicated ourselves to bringing this remaster to as wide an audience as possible

It's not as wide an audience as possible if the game's exclusive to one store. Particularly if the store you've chosen is a small one.

Quoting: shimmyMy wishlist (currently):
- wake up on bluetooth controller connection
- switch off the TV on sleep

The OLED can do the first one; the LCD can't.

Quoting: Claude_LibDoes it finally allow the screen to turn off while downloading games? Something that should've been there from day one for OLED models, if you ask me.

Or at least a screensaver; they could have different ones available in the points store - like flying toasters, say.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: CatKillerI really enjoyed Dark Nights with Poe and Munro on the Deck.

Any other recommendations? I don't think I have ever played an FMV game, but I am curious.

I haven't played any of the others. I took a punt on that one because it was native and looked like it could be a giggle.
