After my friends recommendation, I gave the cod mw trilogy a try. First one was good, but shows its age (thise red dot sights are awful).

2nd is great, and my favorite. Seeing a major conflict in the usa, dropping down in a small neighborhood, fighting for your life in a random burger restaurant, its great.

MW3 is good, but its hard to top usa being invaded. Loved Yuri tho.

Legally speaking, rocking is more acceptable than stoning.

All dlcs are cosmetics, some give alternative models to the titans, so they don’t give any advantage, also you dont need any of them.

If you join, good luck to you Pilot, may you soar high in your journey (be careful about Viper tho)

Trying to replay the early ac games. After finishing ac brotherhood, tried to get revelations running on steamdeck… for an hour. The issue as no surprise was drm and ubisoft. They had an old uplay launcher burned into the game, so I had to install a newer one with proton tricks. (This video saved me)

So bit annoyed, started the game and there have been some questionable changes, some buttons are switched around, there are now two weapon wheels, hookblade feels a bit clunky, but I haven’t gotten far yet.

Dunno why, but it feels a bit bloated, the parkour feels worse, and Ezio always want to jump into haybales for some reason.

+1 jellyfin

The only trouble I found is playing something with opus voice track doesn’t work in the app, and some browsers. Otherwise it’s great

Except for gta online and the trilogy remaster, and rdr2 online. Thats only like 10 years out of the infinity of never, so its probably a good percentage, right?

Purpla vor dat stealth rig

Guess I need to replay some classics

“Cant leave without my buddy Superfly”

Bethesda made mod workshop worked on the consoles, so you could share the pc made mods.

Small setback that it didn’t support script extender, so it was quite limited. Still better than no modding tho.

Dont forget about the moldy helmet, how fun.

(it was only for some exclusive edition, not the normal collector helmet, but still)

Trepang² is pretty fun, kinda a mix of Crysis and FEAR

Last month I replayed assassin’s creed, now on ac 2. Its still soo good. Somehow managed to fully upgrade the villa before memory block 5, so I guess no need to worry about money anymore. You could say this playthrough Ezio bacame the banker his dad wanted him to be

Spent 3 hours bouncing on my drillers head.

Rock and stone, brother

This is a limitation of the unreal engine, so you can do it any unreal game. Have fun bouncing

(Currently I do this in drg while others are in menus)

Bit late, but your last point reminded me about Foxhole, a top down war game, which have these mmo like bits, and also has a cyclic wars, but these don’t give any advantage in the next war.

I don’t play it, but the biggest downsides I heard are 1) losing ground on the battlefield (progress) while logged out, as you can’t help your faction while offline, and 2) the players working in logistics (collecting ores to craft supplies for the frontline) find that gameplay loop repetitive/boring, while its crucial for the faction victory.

I guess it makes sense this is one of the biggest hurdles in pvp mmo, since in pve mmo the enemies wait for you, and it isn’t possible to lose major progress, especially offline. (random thought: is Rust a pvp mmo? That’s kinda cursed.)

The other problem with cyclic games is the non existent progression, since things reset. Most mmo players do the 10+ hour grinds on quests for the shiny thing or the prestige titles, like getting lv99 in Runescape. Even in Escape from Tarkov at the end of wipe most players stop playing, since they feel it would be a waste of effort.

The idea of boons or things that carries over is interesting, but of they stack through multiple wipes there could be a super guild who gets an unfair advantage.

So yeah, surprisingly, game design is hard (also I dont have any gamedev experience, just like thinking about it)

Seeing the new collection release makes me weary, but I hope it’s gonna be good

“Unlimited powwa”

-ironically, the only villain in the movie without prosthetics

Geocaches?

Same with the gta 3 trilogy, but R* backtracked after the backlash for the awful remasters

Same, found that game while I was way too young to understand any strategy, which is kinda important in a Real Time Strategy to have. The units were cool enough to occupy little me’s mind, so I had a good time.

The games intro is burned into my mind, its great
