Although Xbox makes some content that I have liked over the decades, they are their own worst enemies and getting in their own way. Being always online, unable to play unless there is an internet connection, forced to install console updates prior to playing a game, or even on first boot is completely and totally unacceptable.

I got no love for these hoes.

I do not love these hoes.

There's no social goodwill to borrow against through decades of reputation. The only reputation they have is `FUCK YOU SHEEPLE -- GO BACK TO SLEEP` ( See perfect circle, go back to sleep song )

Still, more players in the game is better for consumers, so I look forward to seeing what counter moves Valve makes in the coming years, I can't wait for Steam Deck 2 to go HARD.

Yeah so I played on Steam Deck and the controls feel pretty decent, still wish there was a way to control the music and volume via dpad but whatever, main controls seem to do just fine.

They should get Wreckfest devs to help them do a Redux / Remaster -- they could make a lot of money and improve player experience significantly.

This was a good series and could be fine wine.

I would definitely recommend `Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun` if that old school FPS genre, art, and fast pace appeals to you.

It plays great on Steam Deck too and has a 91% score.

Valve should fix their "play blockers".

For example, you can't be playing DOTA2 on Desktop while a family member in the room plays World of Goo 2 on your SteamDeck at the same time.

DOTA2 is a Free To Play game, it makes no sense when you are being blocked from playing a Free To Play F2P and another game you bought.

I hope they fix this someday for Quality Of Life QOL.

These are my favorite things about the future.

I never played the old one, but I would definitely play this.

The first 1/3 of the game is basically World of Goo 1 which some have criticized as not innovative enough to keep them hooked.

The second 2/3 of the game is innovative with new goos.

The last 3/3 of the game I have been told is insufferably where a completely new art style appears in unskippable scenes where the developer literally appears in what feels like tone deaf harassment.

The level editor sounds cool.

It would be nice if the developer made ALL cut-scenes skippable or a modder did.

It's a decent to good game, but the tone shift in Act 3 of 3 has made people I know IRL rage.

Also the "lets go shopping ... sustainably" in the intro comes off as preachy. It's got at least a wart or two.

How the tables have turned.

Lets see what the shills can "move the goalpost" to to justify their measurably inferior preference.

It's really cool seeing these kinds of devices come out, and the stats are just icing on cake.

Doesn't Dragon Ball Z Kakarot have Denuvo?

I really wish we had a ProtonDB to better identify games with DRM and anti-consumer features like "Always Online".
