Orv posted:The backwards compatibility isn't even officially confirmed in any capacity, so. It's just a semi-educated reasonable guess. Just download an emulator and play your super old (legal*) games in way better graphics than an “emulator” on the PS5 is likely to ever give you? Even from people who don’t have “gaming PCs” in this day and age you should at least be able to do better emulation of PS3 games than the original could do on its own with all the added features modern day emulators provide. Just pop the disc in and you’re good. Burn an ISO beforehand if you want for even faster data access rates.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Especially for the PS3, which as I understand it, is really pretty different from most everything at a hardware level. Nothing I’ve ever seen emulators ever circumvent eventually. I’m sure those games folks have let sit for two console generations so far are nearly at the top of the backlog now and can’t wait a bit longer? Right? No reason to *not* get a PS5, mind you; I’m planning on it. But no reason to put so much weight behind either with other likely alternatives.

Estel posted:Yeah, Steam changed the game updates 2-3 years ago. If you have not played a game in the last 3 days it will schedule the update instead of downloading. Well if this is their strategy (outside of Covid entirely) it’s not working. If I’ve got games in my “to be updated” list it just makes me click them myself to update - even if I might not play them in “years”

So I bought Control last night on GMG and I’m still awaiting the key to appear. I put in a support ticket and got a response this morning saying to “hold on - they were getting slammed with support questions and they’d get back to me” I’ve gotten other stuff from them in the past without issue. Anyone ever hear of something like this happen? Did they just run out of keys or something?

Black Griffon posted:As someone who is nonbinary if nothing else, understanding gender identity is a confusing, long-winded, temporally fraught journey, and I think it's perfectly cool to say "yeah of course they're trans". If you're not in any way trans, it's trickier and potentially Rowling-grade stupid but somehow without the overt transphobia? Boy that's a comparison with a lot of layers. I’m in no way trans. Reading some of the past few pages does have me a bit confused tho - how are you supposed to know a computer game character is “trans” unless they make it really stupidly obvious in some way? And if that’s the way they do it, that sounds, less than respectful? I’m honestly asking.

John Murdoch posted:You can basically ask the same question about a myriad of other character traits. How are you supposed to know whether or not a character is adopted without making it really stupidly obvious? Then I guess I feel like it kinda boils down to that. Why should it be such a big deal being represented in gaming any more than being adopted is? It’s either a checklist that every developer has to go down (which I fear will end up feeling “token” for inclusion in general) or it’s just something that is included naturally which will obviously differ from game dev to game dev. It just seems like a whole lot of gatekeeping otherwise to me... Maybe I’m missing the point entirely. When I play a game the sexual orientation or presentation of a character is one of the furthest things from my mind. I just take it all at face value. I, as a male heterosexual don’t have any issues with playing as a female character from time to time either so... <shrug> I engage more with the mechanics than the “role play” I suppose. Conversely I do feel tho that disrespectful representations should be called out for what they are though. Majin fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jun 3, 2021 |

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:I genuinely mean this with no malice, but this is an extremely white straight dude perspective (full disclosure, I am a white straight dude too). It's very easy for a white straight dude to say something like "why does it really matter what traits a character has?" when your traits are the ones that the vast majority of video game characters have by default. You don't have excited moments of "hey, that character is like me!" because that's been true for your entire life and isn't special. But for a woman, or a person of color, or an LGBTQ person, having that sort of moment is special because of how relatively rare it is, and it's something that shouldn't be brushed off as minor. Point taken - and I agree with that assessment. It still seems to be a bit harder to make that obvious from a trans perspective, if given the previous posters correlation to the adopted comparison holds true, how would you know if it’s not made bluntly/stupidly (and potentially insultingly) obvious?

Yeah that seems like a pretty solid observation. I’d be interested in learning what that nuance would be. I think that understanding being learned by a broader audience could perhaps help in the long run.

exquisite tea posted:Tacoma was good. I don't think it was nearly as impactful as Gone Home, but as a complete product it was definitely an improvement in structure and storytelling. Tacoma was good - but I’m a sucker for isolated mystery or horror locations, especially sci-fi based.

beats for junkies posted:Random recommendation: have you played Event[0]? You're alone on a space station trying to figure out what happened, and you have to talk to the station's AI (through computer terminals) and convince it to help you. It's a fun little experience. I have in fact! I try to get as many of these as I can in my collection, so definitely appreciate the rec!

StrixNebulosa posted:It makes sense to me! Undertale is an indie game that literally everyone has heard of (I think), and here's something "better" rated but no one's heard of it. This *is* their marketing campaign isn’t it? Reading that Twitter thread I’ve never seen a person that presumably has no relation to the developers stump for it so hard.

Xander77 posted:I've got 9000 hours in Team Fortress 2, and about 2000 of them are actual playtime. Still wouldn't recommend TF2 to anyone. How on earth does someone rack up that many hours of unplayed time in a game? Is there some kind of benefit to idling that and wasting all that electricity and wear and tear on a PC?

Cowcaster posted:i feel like the "for masochists" take really falls apart considering that not only was the first one so popular that it created an entire copycat genre that's been going strong for over a decade, but elden ring has been a more massive success than any from software game before it. that's a whole lot of masochists! That would explain a whole lot of people’s voting choices, honestly.
