ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!English1·1 day agoStrive is so good. Any top 8 of that game is just full of people using the RC system in really clever ways.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.English4·2 days agoSure, but it also seems like it’s data that you offer up via a 2K account, which I don’t have. I have a user name tied to my Steam ID, and that’s about it.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two daysEnglish81·2 days agoYes, support for Borderlands 2 continued long after it was clear that Steam Machines weren’t taking off, which means it’s on a newer version than the Linux native one that Aspyr ported. You can still run the Linux native version, but if you want to play with your Windows friends or just get access to all the DLC, you need to run it through Proton.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two daysEnglish101·2 days agoIt’s Borderlands. They already had that claim. I don’t feel good about it, but they made this change after I’d already started this trek. It’s one more data point that gets me closer to only buying games on GOG, but I’m not all the way there yet. It’s definitely nefarious that it’s all good and legal to change the terms of the thing you bought after it’s already been sold to you. However, I also don’t see any evidence yet that it’s actually getting root level access to your Windows machine other than someone’s summary in a review, which is not exactly direct from the source.

ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two daysEnglish265·2 days agoI don’t mean to be disrespectful when I say this, but I can agree that gravity pulls things up instead of down and it won’t make it so. I just skimmed through the EULA and didn’t find anywhere that it said it needed root level access (though maybe I missed it), nor did the executable take any action to try to do so.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two daysEnglish364·2 days agoHow do terms of service give them root level access?
EDIT: For the record, I’ve been playing through this whole series in the middle of when they rolled out these EULA changes, and I wish them the best of luck in getting root access to my machine, but I promise you they didn’t get it via Proton.
He’s also in the crop of people who rage baited his audience with nonsense about Sweet Baby Inc.

ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls | Announce TrailerEnglish6·3 days agoGood: ArcSys making a Marvel fighter like Guilty Gear Strive.
Bad: Published by PlayStation, which means even the PC version will require PSN.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!English3·3 days agoYeah, the rough part is that they send you back and forth between the two furthest corners of that map over and over again. But if you like the political intrigue of the show or Game of Thrones or that sort of thing, plus the twist the series puts on classic fables, it will get there, haha.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!English6·3 days agoHow far are you? I found chapter 2 to be a slog, in particular, but then it picks up right after that.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!English5·3 days agoIf you get any kind of consistency, you should reach out to the mods and get it added to the sidebar. I like having a thread like this in a gaming community.
I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance in anticipation of the sequel, which I already bought. I feel like I never know when the next opportunity to do side quests will be, so I found a good break in the story around main story quest 8-ish, and I’m just doing those for a while. The first couple of missions set some false expectations for what this game is and what you’ll have to put up with, but it becomes much more straight forward after that.
I’ve also been going through the Borderlands games ahead of that series’ sequel, and I just got to Borderlands 3. Man, that game feels great to play. It’s been interesting to play through these games so rapid fire, because whatever my criticism was of the previous game, the developers also knew about it and addressed it in the next game. I hear the writing takes a turn for the worst in this game, but the first few hours are more than tolerable so far.
And for quicker sessions, I’ve also been playing through Devil May Cry 4. I started playing through these games back when Hi-Fi Rush completely floored me, and then some other games came out, and I put DMC4 down for a while. Now that I picked it up again, it’s still great, but I’m not really sure what to do with Nero’s revving mechanic.
Why are you trying to wean your girlfriend off of Strive? I love me some +R too, but both of those games are great!
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, squad tactics heist RPG, is now fully launched on Steam!English3·3 days agoNow that it’s launched, might you be interested in a GOG version? I’ve got this game on my radar, but I won’t be able to get around to it at least until I finish a few other long games I’m working through.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•PlayStation State of Play Returns June 4English2·4 days agoThe word was they cancelled their marketing, which doesn’t mean a delay is definite. When Concord wasn’t going well, they just put it out and hoped for the best despite a beta with terrible metrics, and…that’s an option again, where they’re not throwing good money after bad.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Garfield Kart 2 – All You Can Drift – TeaserEnglish3·4 days agoThose “What’s New” updates are so easily abused. If you played multiple games in a series, every single one of them will post an update about the latest game, so you’ll see the same update like 5 times. Or, if you’re Street Fighter, you’ll pretend that it matters which one of your fictional characters currently has a birthday, and that will litter the feed until you click on “show less”.
ampersandrew@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•PlayStation State of Play Returns June 4English13·4 days agoThis would be the last exit that makes sense to either delay Marathon or cut their losses and let it die a quick death.
There’s a convention too, but it’s way smaller.
