As someone who is all about the 40k lore, have no clue how to play the game, don’t have any miniatures, you really gotta take it all in small doses as there’s so much of it or let someone on youtube explain it for you.
It’s good lore, it’s insanely deep lore, and it’s all over the place. Keep in mind it all takes place of the span of 10s of thousands of years. there will be entire novels of the most mundane Astartes chapter/legion. There’ll be legions/chapters you have no clue about because no one has written about them or they get shoved off to the side. I know a lot of the lore but I honestly couldn’t tell you anything about the twin Primarchs Alpharius and Omegon nor their Alpha Legion.
what console exclusives for the PS5? it has 7. that’s it. only 7 that you can ONLY play on the PS5. (used to be 8 but Death Stranding 2 just came out on PC). and of those 7 maybe ONE of which is a console seller, maybe, and that’s Astro Bot and while it’s a good game I say that as a massive stretch that it’s worth a $650 point of entry.
the ps5 doesn’t have any exclusives that drive sales. none.
plus isn’t like pretty much everyone that works at Valve a millionaire? also some of the longest term employees at any game company ever?
Honestly Epic has been a shell of its former self ever since Cliffy B left. I used to love playing Unreal Tournament, 2k3 and 2k4. and thankfully now I can play UT2k4 again for free on linux. But Epic today is a completely different beast. a bad one at that. I mean hell their store front sucks so much that when people see what games they’re giving away for free they’d rather go on Steam and pay for the game than play it for free via the epic game store because it sucks that much. and then you have Sweeny whose finger has been so far from the collective pulse of the gaming industry for decades. He doesn’t get it, he’ll never get it. He thinks his shit don’t stink.
it had quite a few gems. The WipEout games were some of the best in the series, the God of War games were very good. Battlefield II on it was great. Final Fantasy Tactics and Crisis Core. Jeanne D’Arc was one of the best tactics game ever. Ys Seven, Megaman Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Ape Escape, the Killzone game on it was very good, LocoRocco 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Dissida, Monster Hunter, Daxter, Special Agent Clank, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.
basically RetroDeck is a one and done type of deal. one package (flatpak) that has everything pre-configured and good to go as opposed to say RetroArch where you have to pick your cores (emulators) and what have you. on say a SteamDeck something like RetroDeck is naturally going to be easier to use and set up but when it comes to a Linux desktop it’s all really a non-factor. Like for example most distro repos have either a complete library of the cores for Retroarch or you can pick and choose which ones you want. like on Arch for example the package “libretro” will give you everything or on Nix/NixOS you can pick and choose which ones to install with Retroarch.
as someone who has played EVE Online since launch…yup that sounds about right.
“leveling up” in EVE isn’t based on XP, it’s time based. you buy skills, had them to your skill queue, and they level up over hours, days, or even weeks. Or if you’re building something again that’s all time based. you either log off or do something else in game.
Hell due to the meta in the game and the massive player alliances there’s some alliance leaders that don’t even bother logging in. They just manage their alliance out of game. you can easily “play” EVE without actually playing EVE. so former EVE devs doing something like this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
I thought the exact same thing when I watched the OSW Review of RE8 the other day. I thought it was still like a few months to a year away…then again it always seems like that with RE. I mean hell feels like 8 didn’t come out all that long ago.
Welp looks like I can FINALLY put down Mewgenics for something else this weekend.
wait for the free trial, sign up with it using like a gift card that has a few cents on it or an empty paypal account. trial lasts like 2 weeks but you’ll get more than a month as they email you daily “we can’t charge your account, you’ll lose nitro in 3 weeks”
Repeat this every time they offer you a trial, which they will, without verifying that you’ve already had a free trial. I’ve had Nitro for months doing this and have never paid them a dime.
I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.
I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.
I also pirated it and spent most if not all my time building ships. naturally had to use console codes to bypass the restrictions but that’s all I did.
the game itself? boring. the characters? bunch of god damn nerds. Like seriously your party are some of the most whiny unlikable characters in gaming. I didn’t care for any of them. AND THEN if you decide “oh I want to be a pirate and do bad things” they just whine even more about it.
