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.

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.

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”

don’t worry it gets better, after the first… 20000 chew

Been using tachiyomi for years and its been great, maybe I should give a try to aniyomi

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

As a manga reader, this one is a wild ride.

Coming across ich iel while browsing, with my basic understanding of german: Weißt du, ich bin ein Wissenshafter mich.

Video game christmas song are bangers, don’t know why.

Killing floor 2 has a really good metal/synthetic cover for carol of the bells

Payday 2 had a joke xmass album,the whole thing is great but this one is my favorite one.

Their biggest competitor though they could get 30% market share by giving away free games and signing exclusivity deals, instead of, you know, making a good gamestore. I don’t think we need to worry to much.

Well, maybe if GabeN retires, but im still hopeful.

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)

Ok, I was quick to judge, my bad.

Even then, I feel that most of these are mediocre, even with the Arkham games.

Its worth the price, Arkham, Madmax, shadow of mordor are great games

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)
