Could Valve's new operating system mean the end for consoles? Is there too many unknowns? Is it dead in the water? Pixel Enemy discusses Valve's first, big announcement.
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
The latest update overhauls certain aspects of the UX such as the process of adding Steam games in the cart without opening a separate page.
I'm so excited for this, seriously. I'm guessing it'll be an OS you install on a computer that you buy just for the living room, turning it into a console/media-center equivalent.
But if the OS is good enough and gets enough support to replace windows, that would be just incredible. It's based on linux afterall, so all it needs is good software support (something like skype, for example, which isn't supported on linux anymore due to MS owning skype) and I'd totally get rid of windows
This os is going to bust. I'm not going to play computer games with a joystick. Its why I got a pc. Dont need it. Gotta be stupid if you think counter strike players and dota players are going to dump their keyboards and mouse for a joystick.
And cloud gaming is good for one thing. Memory space. I can save mh settings online that's great. But everyone's been doing that. Shits going to bust. It already did.
I play my Windows PC on my TV via HDMI and I don't need Linux to do it. I also have the ability to play games which came out years ago which will never be ported to Linux.
Im curious about the numbers behind the performance gains. My lappy is getting a little aged and something like a 20% performance gain would make my day.
