The trailer was ridiculous and Gears is ridiculous, so it's perfect.

Ainsley McTree posted:I didn’t love gwent but I’m liking thronebreaker a lot. I will say that the card game is very different from gwent and feels more like hearthstone than anything in witcher 3. And if you don’t like it at all, the game has a story mode that lets you press “skip battle” so you can continue to progress after a loss. I didn't love Gwent either. If it changes up the formula a bit, I'll definitely give it a shot since I really enjoy the setting. It's on sale right now and $10 sounds like a good deal.

EA is open sourcing C&C and RA and adding workshop support to the remaster:quote:Today we are proud to announce that alongside the launch of the Remastered Collection, Electronic Arts will be releasing the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll and their corresponding source code under the GPL version 3.0 license. This is a key moment for Electronic Arts, the C&C community, and the gaming industry, as we believe this will be one of the first major RTS franchises to open source their source code under the GPL. quote:Now in terms of discovering user content, we wanted to take full advantage of the PC platforms to streamline this process. For Steam players, we’re utilizing the Steam Workshop for sharing both maps and mods. Players can subscribe to maps and mods directly in the game’s Community Hub within Steam, or utilize in-game menus to browse / download content as well. https://old.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/gnevp8/remaster_update_and_open_source_mod_support/

Or is any company that does anything slightly offensive permanently tainted, no matter how much they grovel and fire the people involved? To be more specific, when was the last time a company issued an apology that made you change your stance on them?

I tried to play some oldschool Command and Conquer but I couldn't get over the how you left click to do things instead of right click like in every other RTS style game. Evidently this is one of those hills that hardcore C&C fans die on.

Evidently this is one of those hills that hardcore C&C fans die on. I don't see anybody dying on that hill, but some people do have a strong preference for one or the other. C&C Generals let you pick between left-click and right-click control and the Remaster will let you pick which you want for the original games. I think C&C 3 and RA 3 have the option, as well.

I downloaded some fangames based on Tiberian Sun and they didn't give you the option to switch. When I looked it up what to do about it there were a bunch of people defending it. That's super cool that the Remaster lets you switch it

Samuringa posted:The fact that you think it's arguable whether objectification, belittling, and ridicule count as transphobia or not say more about you than CDRed(Who definitely are transphobes, thanks for providing examples). One of the instances saw the guy deservedly get fired. The other one, we don't know who ran that account specifically and what happened with them. The in-game stuff I think is actually pretty cool, sexualisation and objectification kinda are cornerstones of marketing, and putting that on a mass market public like a soft drink implies a general level of societal acceptance. The number of customisation options also seem incredibly inclusive, though it's very possible that the writing may turn that potential positive to quite the negative. Especially given the genres they work in and being based in Poland, they've got a surprisingly decent track record. Says more about the genres of cyberpunk, medieval fantasy and the state of Polish politics than totally absolving CDPR though. It's definitely good to expect better when they gently caress up, but they're not utterly incorrigible.

I understand the concern about that ad but It doesn't make sense to me to lay judgement on it until the game actually releases. I think it's pretty funny this is coming from the same developer who made those sex cards in Witcher 1 though. somewhat ironic?

exquisite tea posted:That cover always struck me as Mega Missing the Point, the Song, the Movie, the Game. For sure. It’s not a song about being depressed, it’s more about modern life stressing you the gently caress out. It’s like 2020: the song. Making it all mopey is stupid. Tears for Fears rules. I’m looking for a good podcast game, basically something where there’s no words and I can just sort of zone out and play and listen to podcasts now that I’m not commuting anymore. Starlink on UPlay+ is good for that but getting a bit stale. Any suggestions?

I’ve been playing cook serve delicious 3 for this purpose. The “chill” difficulty is easily chill enough to just mash buttons mindlessly and listen to a podcast while making number go up. Sometimes I play euro truck simulator 2 for that purpose as well, but crashing is distracting enough to take me out of concentration.

Forager, House Flipper, Hitman 2 when you've memorized every line of dialogue on a level, solitaire (spider two suit best), Cook Serve Delicious 3, Ancient Enemy, Intergalatic Fishing, Grim Dawn, Minecraft, Terraria.... ahem, that's the list of podcast games I have used in the last six months. Forager and House Flipper are getting me through my Reply All backlog currently.

Thanks for all the suggestions! And they’re mostly stuff I already own, which is convienent. Hell, I have CSD3 installed right now but I’ve barely touched it since I’ve been getting used to a new keyboard, so that’ll probably be my first choice right now.

It's on sale right now and $10 sounds like a good deal. Yeah, as long as you have some kind of a strategy for your deck, i.e. blow up the enemy, spam and buff your own deck etc., then you'll do fine. I went with those dudes that set the enemy lines on fire and most battles were a breeze. As for the puzzles, I personally tried each one a couple times and if it seemed like I wouldn't get it then I just looked up the solution. They're definitely skippable though.

You can steamroll every normal battle in Thronebreaker using cards you get in the first area (Arbalest and Scytheman, specifically) with only the very last fight in the game presenting a potential deckbuilding challenge. The puzzles are actually fun, though variable in quality.

zedprime posted:Elite Dangerous is tricky because it counts the time the Launcher is open, which doesn't close after you exit the game. I thought it may have been the launcher but the game was showing as playing on my steam account even after I closed it. Didn’t see any .exe’s in task manager either. Had a similar thing happen with that old puzzle RPG Gyromancer a few weeks ago. I think Steam isn’t properly reading that games are being closed sometimes.
