Holy crap, get out of my head. I was actually thinking about the Cruis’N games this morning on my drive in to work. I was going around a roundabout and for some reason I thought about Cruis’N USA and it’s kind of crappy N64 port...which I haven’t thought about in over a decade.

Now if they could also move into the future with their game tech. Like adding rollback netcode to their games so they are playable by people who are not living in close proximity in Japan, SoCal or NYC. I love a lot of their games but I can’t play them online due to being in a geographic area of the US that doesn’t…
Yeah. I am wondering if this is going to turn into an eventual, “Did You Know Gaming” Youtube video at some point. Respawn gets all the downsides of being published by EA (Origin on PC in particular and no Steam sales) but none of the upsides. And that release window...and few trustworthy early reviews while other…
It’s built on the Source engine that’s souped up a bit. Which means it will run on literal toasters just like the first game.
Yeah, I honestly can’t figure that out. And it would not surprise me if that was EA’s intent. It makes no sense to sanwich the game in between BF1 and the new CoD. Despite not getting the Christmas sales, which it probably won’t get anyway due to it’s release time table, it would have been smarter to delay and release…
I’d hold off for a sale. I loved the campaign but it is fairly short. There is replayability as the game lets you approach fights in many different ways and the pilot helmets you can collect are also well placed and fun to find. So it’s a lot of fun but if you’re not going to play the MP at all I’d definitely wait for…
The campaign is a lot of fun. It is a bit easy as I played on Hard and I didn’t have any issues getting through anything. It’s also as short as they say...somebody skipping cut scenes and not looking for any of the collectibles (and especially somebody who played the first game) might run through it in 4 hours or…
One of the things that is keeping me from playing the MP is the frustration level of only having one effective gun to deal with pilots and NPC’s. I don’t know how many times I’ve died because of a reload and no ability to switch to a pistol just because I decided I wanted to carry an anti-titan weapon instead of…
Yeah, I honestly don’t know why they released when they did. It has the reputation of a failure and an underdog and releasing in between BF1 and the new CoD is just...well, it’s an odd choice. They could have pulled people away easily had they delayed past Christmas. Sure, you don’t get the Christmas sales but you…
You can do that with Steam DRM free games too. You just back-up the folder/move it to another machine. How do you not know something so simple? Also, https://www.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_drmfree_games_on_steam/page1
Yes, even the GoG forums keeps a giant list. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/list_of_drmfree_games_on_steam/page1
You didn’t read anything that I wrote. If Steam is DRM then buying from GoG.com is also DRM. The point of sale system is NOT DRM. DRM, when talking about games specifically (using the colloquial usage), is trying to restrict people from playing your software post-purchase using any number of require authentication…
I don’t think you understand what the word pedantic means. Steam is not DRM. The DRM module that Steamworks offers is DRM. Steam is a Platform. Steamworks DRM module is DRM used for the protection of a game. Logging into GoG.com is not DRM anymore than logging into Steam is. This is pretty simple and easy to…
Then logging into GoG so that you can download the game you own is DRM by your definition. You are required to have an account and that account must be able to auth as your own and then also check that you have a license. So, by your definition, that is DRM as well. Right?
As long as the game supports it, yes. But some companies program in really wonky support or only support 360/x-input so you might run into issues with some titles.
The game does attempt to put you with other players that are at your typical performance level. So you might be horrible but due to so many people playing you’ll get matched up with other pretty awful players. Combine that with the game having more controller friendly options like Reinhardt, Mercy, Torb, Symetra and…
It means that games can add support much easier. Currently, any game that wants to have PS3/PS4 prompts has to have a custom software library that deals with that. Not every company will want to do that. However, since Valve is adding this library themselves, it means that any dev who already hooks in those images and…
I have owned/used a PS3 and 360 for years. I have owned/used a PS4 and XB1 since they came out. I also own an WiiU Pro and a Steam controller and various others. So you know that I am not biased by platform choice and simple usage time (I’ve used them all a lot). I do have a preference though.
You should re-read what I typed. I specified what is DRM. Steam itself, much like any other digital store, requires you to auth through steam to download or re-download your purchase. That’s not DRM. If it is then GoG.com is also DRM. You have to be logged in to verify that you own the product in order to download it…
Yeah, it’s probably a little of that combined with simply not understanding what her son was doing since she might not even be a gamer. To this day most of my family has absolutely no idea about all of my LAN accomplishments and all they know is that I’ve won some money playing a few different FPS games. I’m cool with…
