I think I gave this game a spin a while back but lost interest in it. One of the problems I seem to recall was a lack of any loot in most of the containers that were clicked on!

The only multiplayer I use these days is the remake of Quake II. It works very well and I'm glad I don't bother with other online games now.

The action scenes certainly look very busy! As much as I like this kind of game, I'm not sure if I can deal with those visuals for a long session. We'll have to see :-)

I've been enjoying Ghostwire: Tokyo recently, and I am reminded of some elements of SR4 in the gameplay. The only major issue I had was the flippin' Denuvo DRM which threw a Benny after I performed a distro upgrade and had to wait 24 hours to continue. All the DRM does is to penalise legitimate customers. Shame EMPRESS hasn't shown an interest in this title!

EDIT: Grammar.

I really enjoyed single-player D1 & D2 back in the day but this always-online thing just doesn't interest me. I like to play a game and - where possible - play it until completion (or to the point at which I think I've experienced the best of the game) and then put it down. These days I just don't have the time for online or 'seasons'!

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualOr how about creating firmware for DVD players that will refuse to play discs not authorized to play in this region?
In the UK, at least, you could buy DVD players from legitimate stores back in the day which came pre-chipped to avoid all that nonsense. One of my first purchases from Scan was one such player!

I'm hoping that there will be another John J. Dick voiceover DLC!

Looks quite interesting but the standard Paradox DLC release practices are too rich for me these days.

Quake II Remastered shadow dropped, Playable on Steam Deck

Nightdive have done a good job with this. I've just had a few minutes fragging away in multiplayer and it was great fun!

There's a couple of mods available to restore the red crosses on the medkits and the original weapon switch sound.

Picked my Steam key up from Gamebillet which was charging a much better price than Steam itself. I still have the original CD from the 1997 release, too!

EDIT: formatting.

No number pad and no official Linux support? I'll give this one a miss!
