in other countries with corruption issues

Weird way of saying “all countries”

Not 100% sure, but it looks like Mike Stoklasa who founded Red Letter Media.

EDIT: The other person is obviously George Lucas.

“Things”

Do you say the same for Epic Games Store exclusives?

The game was delisted from Steam right before GOG dropped this. I am not giving Ubisoft more money for Cold Fear. Since nobody can buy it on Steam anymore, there is no pro-consumer reason that the GOG fixes could not have been given to everyone that already owned the game on Steam as a free update.

Ubisoft wants me to buy the game I already own again. I am not doing that. I don’t care if 2% or whatever goes to GOG for their fixes. I know that more than 50% is going to Ubisoft.

Wish us Steam owners could get the updates. Game was delisted from Steam for this.

Now this is a classic. Its too bad Star Wars doesnt make more squad-based shooters. Battlefront from EA was pretty trash but also much more arcadey that I had hoped, especially coming from DICE. I wish they had just literally re-skinned Battlefield 4 as Star Wars.

A particularly hard game with more reliance on squad mechanics and teamwork that I have enjoyed playing is Ready or Not.

Its not a game for everyone, due to the developers trying to portray realistic to life crime situations that a SWAT team might be sent in on. Some missions include taking down robbers, child exploiters, terrorists, active shooters, etc. However, it is very satisfying to fully clear a mission with zero deaths, full evidence collection, and see that juicy S ranking at the end of the mission. Its really hard to do it on some missions, though. You can’t take a lot of damage before you die, most times I get hit one time and its either an immediate death or I need to stop the character from bleeding out, which happens pretty fast. You can wear armor but it makes you really slow and doesn’t do much in the tougher missions when the perps stop using the little guns and knives.

You get some cool tools, like being able to see your squadmate’s helmet camera live feed, a camera wand, a battering ram, explosive charges, shields, and door wedges.

Maybe its something you and your friends might want to try after Halo? Though maybe you wouldn’t want another shooter.

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, 7 was decent. I walked away thinking it was really just a repeat of 4, but it was also Disney’s first try at it so I gave it a little slack. It was a little sloppy in some places and had problems, but not something so tragic.

Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars. It was his lifelong goal, he said it on video. He got what he wanted. 8 was so monumentally bad that I can’t even be mad at 9. Half of 8 didn’t even matter and could have been a deleted scene. It didn’t even leave any loose ends for 9 to wrap up.

Then 9 comes out and while it was bad, it was still better than 8. I have to give JJ Abrams credit, I dont know how he even managed to write a follow up to 8.

I think my biggest gripe is how Disney squandered the opportunity they had to have the original cast together on screen at the same time for one last celebratory film. Well that and their fundamental misunderstanding of Star Wars.

Thankfully with Kathleen gone, maybe Favreau can have more breathing room to invite George for his direct opinion more. Favreau isn’t great either, but at least he has done better than what Kathleen oversaw, more or less.

Need for Speed Underground 2.

Yeah, I thought they were boasting about how successful AC Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws were?

And ten tiers of UPlay subscriptions!!

Framerate does not look good. Hopefully that is because of YouTube, and not the game.

Looks like they conveniently chose nearly all shots that do not show character faces. Except Richard Ayoade, who looks I think better than the first trailer. Background NPC faces at 0:17, 0:19, 0:20, and 0:27 all look decent, but one of the kid’s faces and one of the background NPCs on the left at 0:27 look off. Can’t tell if that’s just high motion and upscaler/YouTube artifacting, bad lighting, actual bad model, not enough pixels, or some combination thereof though.

I did see what I think was the original main character face that seems to be unaltered/unchanged from the first trailer, which is a bit of a shame. (Looks like they tried to hide it/obscure it because they put a ridiculous chicken hat/helmet on that model during the character creation part that the face was at (0:09) which wasn’t present on the other face models. Double oof because of the male face model they switched to immediately after being literal Gaston/Prince Charming/Hercules face model.) They really did that model dirty especially considering how good Richard’s face model looks here. Hopefully they can make it look more like the actual model its supposed to be based on, or perhaps they can release another trailer showing the main character face choices under more optimal viewing conditions.

I know its kinda crazy for me to.suggest this, but hear me out:

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition runs nearly perfectly in emulators on pretty modest hardware. Its not very difficult, but has a Games Journalist level Easy mode as well if thats needed. Its a Musou/Warriors game, so its basically mindless button mashing with the flavor of Zelda.

Its a splitscreen game, so you only have to have it set up on one machine. The game has a story mode and a bunch of challenge modes as well to keep things interesting. Wide range of upgradeable charaacters with different weapons that change up their playstyles. And a lot of unlockable costumes.

Downsides:

• Nintendo
• Have to use a controller (not a downside to me, but for sosme it is)
• Getting the game can be a little challenging if you don’t know where to look
• Setting up the emulator can also be challenging if you don’t know where to get the important parts
• Can get stale after really long sessions of play

Upsides:

• No account or extra launcher required, boot the emulator and play the game
• Most emulators have decent to great Linux compatibility
• Fully offline - no randos joining or server outages when internet drops
• Only two players can play, meaning nobody else can join after your partner, and Player 1 controls when Player 2 joins

The only issue could be if you aren’t using a Nintendo controller, the buttons won’t match up, but there might be a mod for that. I know there are input mods for other games.

Well, the R36S can technically run Dreamcast. Some Dreamcast games. At like, 50% resolution scale and with some frameskip probably. I was able to get it to run Phantasy Star Online pretty decently. But other games were unplayable.

Treat the barrel of a gun like it has an infinite length death laser pointing out of it at all times.

No, it doesn’t matter if you just unloaded it, or saw someone else unload it. The barrel stays pointing down range and away from people.

No, you shouldn’t.

Don’t take medical advice from anyone that isn’t your doctor.

I haven’t ever had good performance in this games benchmark tool, even at the absolute minimum settings available. Game looks worse than a Wii game and still struggles to manage more than 20 fps in scenes with more than one monster on them screen (Frame Gen disabled, enabled is like 30fps but with the most horrendous second and a half of input lag I have ever seen).

Until it hits 60fps on my system, I am not buying it.

That’s probably a lot of lost jobs.

That’s probably for the best any game that glorifies bullying isn’t great for society.

Depending on where you live, legally speaking if you sold the carts you would have to delete the ROMs as well.

Personally I would just hold onto them. Plausible deniability aside, its nice to have them if the digital backup ever gets lost or accidentally deleted or corrupted.

This image perfectly encapsulates what its like to finally confront Lan Di.
