...I think the GOG version has been that way for awhile?
snow zenith
GOG usually goes to a great deal of effort to make old games work on new machines properly.
glass plinth
They sure do
Some of my favorite strategy games from 1997 still work thanks to them
cinder vessel
man it was terrible
and now it's just whatever nonsense they're doing with windows store stuff, some things never change ๐
On a more fun note, check this out!

no 3 came first

hrmm loathe as Im to say, Im looking forward to the San andreas remake
willow crypt
huh
glass plinth
yeah they are remastering it
snow zenith
Remaking a GTA is so weird to me even though it shouldn't be.
willow crypt
makes sense if itโs another studio doing it
snow zenith
Yea but
it's a GTA.
What exactly are you going to be remaking that super needs to be remade lol.
willow crypt
they should remaster Red Dead Revolver
snow zenith
Just basically better graphics I guess.
willow crypt
They should remaster GTA 2
glass plinth
they are
willow crypt
yay
glass plinth
they are remastering most of them
austere lance
hrmm loathe as Im to say, Im looking forward to the San andreas remake
It's just a light remaster, nothing fancy. It's gonna be on mobile, if that gives any indication of how much of a remaster it is ๐
snow zenith
Oh it's a remaster.
glass plinth
For me, it was San andreas that drew me in
snow zenith
They said remake.

the story wasnt half bad

Lol sorry

Remakster
cinder vessel
my open world BS game from awhile back was probs Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
That and Destroy All Humans! for a more pseudo-open world
austere lance
GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas are getting remasters for current hardware and mobile, which I'm pretty sure just means they're gonna slap AI texture enhancements and 4k on it and call it a day. This is Rockstar we're talking about, after all ๐
willow crypt
i should play the Destroy All Humans remake tbh
cinder vessel
i keep thinking about getting it, but then i'm like, "but i've already played it"
and then i'm like, "but higher res probing"
glass plinth
great humor
willow crypt
is there a mod for it titled โdestroy all hoomansโ and you play as a cat or dog?
austere lance
Destroy All Humans remake needed to be a reboot tbh. It's the same game with minor combat and upgrade system tweaks, so you're still playing tiny little 5 minute levels with awkward possession mechanics. Destroy All Humans 2 Remake will be where the real fun is ๐
cinder vessel
lmao, i dunno tbh
willow crypt
ainโt they making a sequel though?
cinder vessel
see i appreciate it being shorter-runs personally
willow crypt
or is that just a remake of the sequel
snow zenith
GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas are getting remasters for current hardware a...
Lol.
Rockstar is weird.
cinder vessel
but then i never played DAH 2
snow zenith
They either have a banger of a game like RDR2 or they have GTA V/Online ad nauseam for 10 years.
snow zenith
At least they nail some of their franchises.
cinder vessel
wasn't LA Noire like their last new IP
snow zenith
Ubisoft just ruined all of theirs 
willow crypt
i thought that was from another studio
cinder vessel
Oh wait, might be
austere lance
DAH 2>1 by light years, it's better in literally every way. Better story, better gameplay, multiple large areas to fuck around in, more enemy types, possession is actual possession instead of the weird hologram thing, more guns, more spaceship weapons and upgrades, and the time period is goofier too ๐
cinder vessel
I largely ignore Rockstar because they're a bunch of weird cinema outcasts that don't actually like games but aren't cut out for making films
willow crypt
DAH 2>1 by light years, it's better in literally every way. Better story, better...

willow crypt
something about Saints Row makes me not want to play them
austere lance
Start with 3
cinder vessel
1 & 2 were when they were sorta trying to compete with GTA, then 3 was like whatever let's get weird
austere lance
They're GTA if GTA wasn't trying to be edgy and hip. Just absolute ridiculousness and chaos 
willow crypt
hey if they get weird, maybe iโd dig it
austere lance
They uh, definitely get weird
cinder vessel
It's not super weird mind, more like pop weird wowrandom in some respects
willow crypt
austere lance
The mutants in SR 3 and giant......toy melee weapon disagree with them not being weird, lol
Plus the entirety of SR IV is a Matrix+Mass Effect spoof
cinder vessel
I'd say it's like Borderlands-adjacent with its "weird"

but, buying a game and having to mod it to even load is peak bethesda
cinder vessel
Well the funny part is I was trying to double check if it had the gfwl junk since I was thinking the same, and saw a forum thread also having issues running it on Win10, lol
So, yeah, just a classic Bethesda mess
cinder vessel
which game is this again?
frigid yarrow
Iron Order

Aah, for a moment I thought it was somethin' else

The fact that this one is in browser is even crazier

You don't have to buy it, it's a free upgrade. It's gonna automatically patch the Steam version of Special Edition
And the patch will ruin all mods
Extrwi, the developer of the Skyrim Script Extender, revealed on Reddit that the upcoming release, which will launch as a free update for all owners of the game on PC, will break compatibility with a lot of existing mods due to the new version of the game which will use the Visual Studio 2019 compiler over the 2015 version used in the Special Edition.

two fav. finds/reminders this week are definitely Unsighted & Steel Assault...And El Paso, Elsewhere, Eternity Egg, Hypnagogia, Plead with the Elder Gods, Necrofugitive, Enchain, & Echostasis ๐
The Eek3 Showcase had a lot of cool/weird games, lol
austere lance
Unsighted gets uh, heavy after a bit. Idk how far the demo goes but there's a reason I said it has Nier Automata vibes ๐
cinder vessel
It gets right up to the Crater Tower and then cuts off
So basically you just learn your name and are introduced to Anima energy then it's like, "Alright, now wishlist or buy!"
Which honestly, good stopping point, gave enough to get me like, "okay hell yeah"
cinder vessel
Nah
You literally just get smashed up by some abomination thing that chased you from the lab you wake up in
austere lance
Oh it barely tells you anything by then, damn

yeah, good way to get you interested enough to wishlist/buy

Puts me a bit in the mind of FFXIV
FFXIV is one of those MMOs that honestly, I feel like you could just toss out the multiplayer component and a good chunk of it would be a pretty decent solo game
Same deal with The Old Republic Star Wars MMO thing
snow zenith
ESO was a lot more multiplayer focused (and it can still be)
but definitely doable solo if you want
with companions being a thing now
sleek cloud
i want to say the same with NW but it is getting more and more repetitive
snow zenith
ESO nails it because it's an established, deep fantasy world
sleek cloud
only thing i haven't tried that might keep me playing NW is the big war stuff, 50v50 battles n whatnot
snow zenith
as an ES lover and ES lore lover I could easily sink hours into ESO
broken prairie
only thing i haven't tried that might keep me playing NW is the big war stuff, 5...
feels like thats the main draw
cinder vessel
NW?
snow zenith
New World
broken prairie
New world

ffs i thought neverwinter for a second, lmao
sleek cloud
hah
cinder vessel
That's how forgettable New World is to me already
snow zenith
only thing i haven't tried that might keep me playing NW is the big war stuff, 5...
I feel like even ESO wins that - it was some of the best fun I had in PvP
sleek cloud
haven''t tried it tbh, just mainly done story quest stuff
cinder vessel
I'd probably enjoy ESO just 'cause I also do enjoy the ES world stuffs, but i just know MMOs and their machinations and am not interested in that, lol
snow zenith
Yea I'm not into MMOs much anymore these days
I tried getting back to SWTOR but the gameplay is just
so
boring
cinder vessel
I worked the RuneScape mines, i've done my time, no more, lmao
sleek cloud
the only MMO i've played that felt like a true MMO was EVE
snow zenith
I don't like EVE
cinder vessel
that just felt the most like a second job to me
for the lil' bit of it i tried, lol
snow zenith
Prosperous Universe is EVE but removes all the bullshit unneeded ships part lol.
sleek cloud
ye it just requires so much time to do some of the most basic shit lol
austere lance
ESO gameplay is regular Bethesda gameplay but worse ๐

one of the things i did like from EVE was the funky probe system stuff, but i can't remember what that was even used for

Hard to get into for sure
but it's weird in that
you can do as much or as little as you once
and still feel like you're doing something
I like that
once? want*
cinder vessel
i mean the only redeeming factor of EVE to me is the visuals so, gut that, and nooooo
sleek cloud
EVE as slow as it is does offer some of the most exhilarating moments especially in the old days when you could lose skill points for dying
cinder vessel
Prosperous Universe reminds me of a game I was telling Jahnri about the other day: http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Quickstart_for_Beginners
snow zenith
Oh yea
Aurora is wack
Properous Universe is really
nicely done
and it's browser based so you can just
do things, do something else, check back, etc.

if you want a pretty good space like EVE, then you might like Avorion
literally build your ships from a cube to how you want it
cinder vessel
The most I can deal with without graphics are text adventures, I think. Get all numbercrunchymunchy and I just go, no thank you, I'd rather study real maths
sleek cloud
i think you even build the stations as well
sleek cloud
ye i must get into it, only really scratched the surface of it
cinder vessel
I've tried to get into it a bit but I always get annoyed with my ship designs not looking as nice as I'd like
sleek cloud
haha ye, mine looked ok but i put so much armour on it turned like a tank
but there are prebuilts from the community you can use
cinder vessel
I keep meaning to dip back into the creative mode and design there then carry that back over into regular play but just get drawn to other more readily playable games
sleek cloud
some are epic
cinder vessel
for sure, although i dunno how many work as well since the 2.0 update
sleek cloud
also running and managing your fleet sounds cool, assigning captains and stuff
cinder vessel
the only problem with that stuff from what i've read is that there are some awkward command limitations
thankfully you can mod through those but it's some weird vanilla oversights
sleek cloud
ye i think before you could chain commands so they would do repeat jobs, now there's more micromanaging involved from what i could tell
and just gets a bit tedious
cinder vessel
yeah, that's the gist i'd gathered as well
sleek cloud
but i think it's still in beta phase so could change, the devs are very active on their discord
sleek cloud
oh is it, shows you how long its been since i checked last ๐
cinder vessel
yeah, i think it dropped around the same time NMS' Frontiers dropped, so may have eclipsed it for ya, lol
sleek cloud
ah ye probably
cinder vessel
do really appreciate Avorion's flexibility tho, not just in shipbuilding but being more openly supportive of modding & having an actual custom mode option
sleek cloud
ye and private servers is nice, i know they like to roleplay a lot
cinder vessel
Ah yeah, i stick to solo but that is a nice option

What's your average ranks in matchmaking, if I may ask
because most fiddles I find in my games become uncounterable when ahead because a fiddle who's ahead just controls the entire fucking rift

Cho'Gath sounds Klingon
then I suppose many of the characters proceeding from the void will sound Klingon.
Cho'Gath, Kai'Sa, Rek'Sai, Kassadin, Kha'Zix, Kog'Maw, Vel'Koz, Malzahar.
Maybe Kassadin and Malzahar not so much 
snow zenith
Ah yes
Kai'Sa
How to default to the lowest common denominator when designing a champion that you make the scariest thing (the Void) corrupting an individual and she somehow comes out like another generic hot champion.

it just doesn't make sense to me, cause it's not like the dark knight trilogy has been deleted or something

No one bats an eye when Marvel barrels through Hollywood, and DCEU movies have been, for the most part, complete shit.
So more DC movies is fine with me, they'll hit the mark eventually.
thorn dawn
marvel aren't endlessly rebooting two franchises tho
snow zenith
No, just spin-offs on spin-offs on spin-offs with the same regurgitated cast.
thorn dawn
they might be milking them for all they're worth
but it's all new and originalish
IMO
DC need to stop rebooting stuff endlessly
and make things less dark and gritty
snow zenith
Dark and gritty is what DC's about, that's why I prefer it over Marvel.
thorn dawn
it gets old tho

they also have a bit of an issue with power creep
