I don’t like that, but I’m still refraining from buying the game altogether because of it’s ridiculous always-online requirement. The predecessor wasn’t like that, and there’s no reason for the singleplayer segments of a racing simulator who enjoyed extreme longevity through modding, to be stuck on remote servers that can and WILL be shut down at some point in the future.

Surprised it took this long to happen. The game was already a shambling corpse after it got sold to a crypto company.

Gran Tourismo 2 and 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and NFSU2/MW. I like a lot of racing games but these are my favorite retro ones.

It’s THPS 3+4 Remaster. They finallt got to make that.

It’s thr reason a SIGNIFICANT portion of users still put up with their bullshit OS on their machines. Doesn’t mean they aren’t shitting the bed with said OS or their gaming divisions.

Splendid! I have a laptop running Arch, and while I did set that one up manually, it was a lot of work. Next time, when I do it on my gaming PC, I’m definitely using Endeavour

I honestly loved it almost instantly, especially with the aspect that each settlement is a short time investment of a gaming session with semi randomized goals and build orders to get to those. While there are still overarching goals for the game as a whole.

It looks real good, but I’m still playing Aginst thr Storm, and will probably give Farthest Frontier a try before goong into this one. Still, it’s on my list!

Yes that’s what I said. PS3 era games and at this point, early PS4 start yo qualify for me. Although still actively developed games aren’t “fully” retro, clearly. I’m still on the fence about calling Bloodbkrne retro, for instance.

Around 2 generations of consoles ago, or around 10 years, whatever comes “first”.

Pokemon or other turn based games that were originally designed for portables usually work great for a commute! Also monster hunter, I played a lot of that on the subway back in the day on my 3DS. Thr PSP games might be easy to emulate.

The exact same bullshit they pulled on Helldivers 2 and all their other recent PC games, for that matter, even the single player ones needing PSN logins and region locks. Don’t buy their stuff.

Of course they did.

Yeah I replaced mine with Gulikit sticks after they started drifting while playing BotW. They were surprisingly easy to service, no soldering or special tools required.

I know it isn’t what you mentioned but it reminded me when I wad reading anyway. I am quite hyped for the new Heroes of Might and Magic.

I’ve never even dared to make an account there to ask questions because they’ve always been toxic as fuck. And lately they’ve been going about pivoting to AI, after they sorta monopolized the “business” of answering questions on several subjects… They can go eat my ass with that shit and attitude.

Is anyone surprised by this? Really? At this stage, after we’ve seen the lenghts that Sony has went to stuff PSN account requirements on even their offline singleplayer games?

This sjow goes so much wilder than just “haha, let’s cook monsters” and I love it

I got pretty much the same opinion as you, probably a bit angrier about all the shit they did, with Unreal Tournament, their store and spyware and exclusives, and their unoptimized bloated game engine taking over the industry.

So no, I guess I don’t claim those games or have an account. I already have a million games I’ll never finish playing on Steam and emulators anyway.

Yes. Next stupid question.
