Yes, but I think Lemmy is too busy hurting itself to really notice.

Play it on a friend’s account that owns the game.

Cry. And pilfer some E Waste drop offs one last time. Then cry some more, pour one out for the future generations of gamers who can never correctly experience a retro game designed to be played on a CRT (and they probably won’t even care honestly, they’ll be too absorbed in the new shiny thing to consume, its already happening now).

Shame about Other M though. Fun to play and watch others play, but held back by a bad control scheme and poor voice direction.

Zero, from Drakengard 3. The perfect amount of crude and the dryest delivery of humor imagineable.

I immediately don’t like those silicone pads. Just expose the buttons underneath like a normal person, please. I imagine they designed it that way to try to obscure the fact that this is just a glorified Raspberry Pi Zero case with built in 720p display not all that dissimilar from something like the already existing PiGrrl.

This is something that should cost like, $50 USD or less, but is probably going to be listed for more. As this article points out, this market is oversaturated. You can already get other devices for that price or less with better or comparable specs. I don’t think they will be able to price this aggressively enough to compete.

For me, Fallout 3 ran perfectly but New Vegas is incredibly unstable and crashes often before I can even finish character creation. I have tried playing the game multiple times and never make it out of the starting area before the game crashes, and as a result I have never played New Vegas. And thats with the community mods and patches to help stability.

Meanwhile Fallout 3 boots and runs perfectly fine completely vanilla. It still crashes occasionally, but I can at least play it for an hour or two with it crashing.

Did they fix the cheater problem? I played when it first dropped on Steam, and good lord was the cheater problem bad. Spawning grenade explosions every frame on all player positions for the entire match was awful. I haven’t reinstalled since.

Sometimes, the only way for players to get the developer’s attention is by doing something drastic like that. Not always, but many times. Because developers and publishers think Steam Review Scores are important for game sales (and I mean, they are, but maybe not as much as they seem to think).

Sometimes this comes from players in a different language complaining about bad translation or something.

Review Bombing, the term, is almost used to discredit when people have negative sentiment for something, and does nothing to explain why players may be doing it. Sometimes it is warranted, sometimes it isn’t. But most people are going to read that term and think “Ah, its just a bunch of whiney children,” only to later feel frustrated at the things those negative reviews were talking about.

Just one last update for real this time guys

I am not about to say that someone’s else’s culture is wrong. Even if I personally feel that way, that is only my opinion, and only applies to me and how I might choose to interact with another culture.

I am not an authority on what is right or wrong in a culture, and quite frankly, neither are you.

Its a culture difference. Its not my place to police another culture, I am just saying what the origin of the term is.

Well I wrote it that way because the applicable laws may be different depending on where in the world that server pirmarily operates in.

Due to the nature of Discord, messages posted on it could be considered permanent or temporary, and libel almost exclusively applies to permanent writing such as a blog post or news article in the USA (but may be different in other places).

When they stop streaming as that character.

The term “graduating” comes from Japanese pop idol culture, where a pop idol retiring is called “graduating.”

NFS Underground 2 has a PC port, and there are some fixes online that make it the best way to play NFSU2, actually.

This person needs to learn about punctuation and grammar.

I don’t know if I agree with the “we don’t know so we are just going to call everyone pedophiles” sentiment. I understand they need to be careful to comply with the law, but that could also easily backfire as if it is false it could be considered slander (possibly libel depending on the specific legal definition).

I don’t really know much about this particular situation, but I think if I was the admin of the server here I would caution the mods against just blanket labelling people, especially when they aren’t certain of it. If the server is 18+, then anyone saying they are below 18 should just be permabanned, joke or not. Otherwise just says in the rules “No sexual jokes/comments about characters under 18,” and ban anyone that breaks the rule. Pretty easy solution to whatever is happening here, I think.

• Silent Hill 2, obviously.

• Kuon - FromSoftware

• Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex

• Robotech Battlecry (the Xbox release was better, but the PS2 one is fine)

• Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc (there is an English patch)

• Shadow Tower Abyss (there is an English patch)

• Castlevania: Lament of Innocence & Curse of Darkness

• Haunting Ground

• Ultimate Spiderman

• Winback

• Xenosaga 1-3

• Cold Fear (PC version is probably a better pick though)

A remaster is generally a re-release of an already existing game. It is a new build of the same game, on the same engine, with the same assets. The only difference being compatibility with new hardware, etc. In my opinion, a lazy cash grab that realistically shouldn’t even exist. Often times these new builds aren’t even the same and have many bugs not originally present in the original game that the remaster developers never even fix.

A remake should always try to stay as close as possible to the original for its initial presentation. The intention of a remake is to become the current market replacement of an old product, for various reasons. Maybe it doesn’t run on new hardware or the original code was deleted/lost. Maybe the original game was poorly received and the developers want to try again with some QoL adjustments. Maybe the graphics haven’t aged well but the story is timeless. This is why a studio would opt for a remake instead of a lazy remaster.

The issue comes from something like Silent Hill 2 Remake. It did not include a “Classic Mode.” The remake alters some pretty important themes in the game, changes multiple story elements, and entirely changes the focus of the gameplay, putting a greater emphasis on action and combat than the original ever did. The remake shifted the tone away from a melancholic exploration of a character into a Hollywood action movie with an over-reliance on jump scares (basically every Bloober game, honestly).

This has problems when fans attempt to talk about the game. Which version is each talking about? People do not always specify. If one person talks about the Coin Puzzles in the apartments for example, the clues, hints, and solutions are completely different between versions. Players of the original game needed to get a crate of rotten juice cans and drop it down a trash chute in order to receieve a coin for that puzzle, but that entire sequence was removed in the remake. This is only a minor example that doesnt impact the story, but the problem of discussion disconnect is apparent. You can imagine how confusing it would get when there are other major changes that do impact the story later on in the game.

These differences are fine if the developers add them as an “Arrange Mode” or “Remake Mode,” but not as the only way to experience the game. That effectively says “our new version is the only good version, because we won’t allow the players to directly compare the two with the same engine and graphics. If you want the old version, you can’t, because we definitely aren’t selling the original and pirating the original that we refuse to sell you is copyright infringement.”

Have you ever tried playing a multiplayer game where other players can pause the game? Stellaris has this feature and it is an immense annoyance. In fact, it is considered BM to pause the game when playing with anyone other than your real life friends that you inform in a voice call.

I dont understand this argument. When a game is considered very good, particularly by people that are already invested in a series, those people want remakes and remasters to more or less be exactly the same game, with only technical improvements such as graphics and framerate. The game is beloved and changing it more often negatively effects the experience. This way new players and old players can have discussion about the game and their experience is more or less the same. Changing the game means new players will have a totally different experience from old players, and ruins discussion between the two.

Why can they not make their new version a separate mode, like New Game Plus?
