Exactly. Valve/Steam wants their title only on their own platform. As does Epic with their financed title. So I don’t get that exclusivety thing. Everybody’s doing it. Some more, some less, but they do. Oh wait, gog did publish their own titles on other platforms as well.
I’m still waiting for the Half Life games to be released on GOG. I wonder why it will never happen…?
First thing everybody has to learn about computers: Don’t get attached to a brand/company.
2015 the core i7 gave me the most performance for my money. Last year it was the 7800x3D.
I had mostly AMD GPUs, but last year I got a 4700 because it’s power consumption was unbeatable for the performance it has.
Always buy the best stuff you can get for your money, don’t give a fuck about the companies.
And please never forget the Multiverse of Soldier of Fortune 2, with their alternate timeline of Robot Humans. That was for me the most rediculous thing in my gaming career!
To be fair, it has gotten a lot better. Games rarely get censored anymore. Dying Light 2 comes to mind. The Index also has become rare, also the complete confiscation.
But yes, I’m with you, the authorities have to go, the European classification should be enough!
Yes, the RX 6600 is even cheaper and a great FullHD card. Two years ago I paid 600 Euros for that card because my old one broke down (worst timing), and that was the cheapest card to get at that time that did not suck.
Last time I checked it was at 220 €, good price (again).
If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the bar at the bottom, that would be nice. I don’t need a taskbar or a line, it’s a fucking tablet.
I takes a few millimetres of real estate, it sucks.
Edit: Android 12.
It’s actually more interesting than I first thought. The amount of small steps to lower the time (a different key stroke, a shot from the pistol at the right moment) is insane for a casual player like me.
Isn’t that this Windows imitation I sometimes hear about?
(I have a death wish I guess)
But on a serious side: I need an easy to use Linux system next year for my parents who are not very tech savvy. Do you have a recommendation for easy use that feels like Windows? It will only be used for browsing, open office and stuff.
“[…]these micotransactions grant more frequent access to features many gamers deem essential for any action RPG. This includes fast travel and character customisation.”
Wait, what? Seriously devs?
Or in the beginning released beautiful boxes, with lots of information on the developers, they were a piece of art. Hence the name Electronic Arts.
They started as a great little company.
Thank you! I have about 5 games on steam, so I haven’t installed it on my system. The only interesting one is Doom 2016, so for a moment I thought I could download the installer as a backup without having to use steam anymore in the future when I do want to play it again. Would have been nice. Thanks for clarifying!
So no installer then? Or can you download that separately?
So it’s possible to download the installer through steam, store it somewhere and ten years later I can just start the installer without having steam on my system?
Asking out of curiosity, I don’t use steam, I never thought that would be possible?
Holy shit, a new Dune RTS!! I did not know!!!
…only on Steam. Well, fuck. Back to Dune 2000.
I had this on my first installation a few years ago, but then never again. I’m using Pro.
I don’t think I would like to play a big title on a small screen, that would be like watching Dune on your phone. But for smaller Indies it actually could make sense, like puzzle games. But I guess I’ll stick to my PC.
So it’s more for casual gaming, the advantage over a phone is having physical buttons. That makes sense, thank you. I thought they would be used as the primary gaming machine which baffled me.
Might be a stupid question, but why is everybody head over heels about mobile game consoles? First the Steam thing, I believe ASUS has something like this in the works, now AMD. Why?
Who likes playing their big games on a tiny screen? I wouldn’t want to play Cyberpunk on a mini monitor while I have a 4k Display at home…
What am I missing? Because it’s cheaper than a PC?
That makes it ok to get screwed? Well then…
