Legacy of the Wizard. I have sucked at it since I was a child and will likely continue to suck at it for the rest of my life, but I still like dusting it off once in a while.

As someone that plays this occasionally over the years, and checking out this remaster (although not comparing, its been a while since booting up the old version), I honestly couldn't tell the difference whatsoever.

Still a good game that I'll continue to play occasionally in any event.

Quoting: 278822I still don't understand why investing so much money into invasive DRM like Denuvo + things that people hate (launchers, online only games etc.) instead of lowering price so people don't have reason to pirate it.

At least in terms of Denuvo, I believe publishers usually do it up to and then during the launch window for games, to protect initial sales and to try and prevent early leaks. It's why you often seen a later patch remove Denuvo, sometimes as early as a few weeks later -- after the majority of sales typically happen for a new game. Obviously it's not a hard rule and some of them just leave Denuvo on their games forever.

I'm not sure how effective that logic is in practice, which I think most of us would find very dubious in modern times, but at least publishers seem to think so.

I wouldn't call this a new spin, it sounds exactly like the long running game series Itadaki Street, although I believe only the Wii game had a US release as Fortune Street.

More of a love letter to that, considering the name, I think.

Also, Fortune Street is probably my all-time favorite Wii game and if anyone reading this hasn't given it a shot yet, I highly recommend doing so. It's an amazing combination of Mario and Dragon Quest characters, in... A monopoly-like game that features stocks and minigames.

Agreed, I will probably buy this just because I really like Wadjet Eye games and would prefer to support them.

But honestly I don't love the high res graphics/style, and the voice acting is.. okay, at least in the trailers.

Kind of like going from Space Quest 4 to Space Quest 6.

I'd put money on Wayland maturing over time, the PCSX2 devs weren't wrong about it being a mess in a lot of ways.

I saw similar news in another popular linux site/forum, which... frankly is known for rather toxic forums, rag on the PCSX2 devs like how dare they have a reasoned opinion and then do the ridiculous thing like update their opinions as time passes and issues resolve.

I'll cross my fingers, but won't get my hopes up. Projects like these that are deep in the MS ecosystem rarely end up working well on Linux, with the vast majority ending up janky at best. There are exceptions, but that's what they are -- exceptions.

All I'm getting out of what they said is that it's easier to multitask cheating on Linux, not that the Apex Legends devs actually fixed any of the cheating. Likewise it's probably easier to run on servers or something easy (or cheaper) to deploy.

Pretty lame reasons to exclude a platform wholesale and pretending that the fault lies there, especially since it feels at best a temporary solution.

Agreed with the live service concerns. Absolutely gives those vibes.

Never really thought about it before, but rather then whatever this is, a full AAA narrative single-player FPS for Turok might've been really cool (with no live service elements WHATSOEVER).

Nice that they did this, just setting aside my personal opinions on Epic.

Honestly, I'd almost rather they didn't revive Unreal Tournament so I can just keep my fond memories of it rather then be upset by whatever modern garbage take they'd come up with that I'd never play anyway.
