i tried playing the first one
and i was kinda enjoying it?
up until a point when i got tangled in this web of like 5 criss-crossing fetch quests where each one of them required me to go back and forth between a bunch of loading zones and all of it was taking forever and i just zoned out
which is... pretty much the same thing i'm at in KCD, funnily enough
minus the loading zones

God damn it, Ubisoft
Can't not recommend Ubisoft stuff on PC any harder because of this

driver SF is totally worth the few hoops you have to jump through to get it going, but...
here's the thing

I hope their stuff on GOG doesn't have any kinda doggo doodoo like this
fathom juniper
the first time i played it - i was broke
so i got it on the seas 
- i'm not ashamed to admit it
and it worked flawlessly
then i bought it on steam...
...then it turned out it requires uplay
then it got delisted
then uplay changed to this ubisoft dis-connect... thing
then after a few updates to u-disconnect the game started running worse and developed some glitches

Which is ironic, because Ubisoft has the Might and Magic games on GOG and they sell well there, all things considered
And they're all DRM free, as per usual from GOG games
fathom juniper
that's not gonna happen for driver
because driver SF on top of having a whole bunch of cool licensed music
also has 150 licensed cars with detail destruction models
and a whole bunch of product placement
the game itself is 15, this year
it was in production for 6 years, and on store shelves for 5
so - it's been dead for a decade - i doubt they're gonna put it on gog
and i was having so much fun with it too 
this is seriously one of the best racing games ever made
certainly the best written racing game ever made

And most of the nfs games sucked (except unbound and heat I guess)
hearty yarrow
Trackmania kinda survives in the background
Cause of the subscription model
It doesnt need to make much noise
Just needs to consistently add content
So people stay subbed
Also they get a huge bonus approval from me for not selling skins
And just letting anyone make and use skins they want

So Nuclear Throne just had its 10th anniversary, they made a big patch with a modder and natively implemented a bunch of QoL stuff that people have wanted for a long time, like more framerate options, 16:9 aspect ratio, etc.
But here's the thing about the framerate options besides the native 30 and 60: It's a very crunch pixel art twin-stick shooter. 120 FPS is far far more cursed than 30. I kinda wish there were some more in-between options, 48 would hit a nice sweet spot of crunchiness with more smoothness than 30 can provide, but I'll get used to 60 in time.

do guys have any good greek myth **ACCURATE** games recommendation ?
Hades does it better than most, its just a made up story in a more or less “accurate” greek myth universe. Do you mean playing actual stories from greek myth?
And also you should remember that even in “accurate” greek myth there are different versions of some stories/gods. That being said, no sorry i dont have any other games i can recommend.

Accuracy claims of history stuff are just funny tbh
We know more of the ancient greek period than a lot of other moments in history but there's still endless gaps there
And of course myths weren't some standardized singular tale thing anyway
Adapting and changing them was, and to a certain extent still is, part of the practice and culture around mythologies
To a certain extent telling different stories, retelling them with changes, or adapting characters in them into different spaces and plots, essentially writing contemporary versions, might be a more accurate practice of mythology then retelling ones we have left 1:1
Plenty to disagree about that of course but still

@thorny shoal so...how have you been? any interesting games to play?
.....maybe I am the normie in this server...you guys always talk about very niche and rare games, I am starting to doubt my Gamer credentials

im playing Arkham Knight rn and it's been pretty fun, I guess that's not niche
im going for all riddler trophies only this time, ending the franchise with a bang
a very boring and long bang
elfin matrix
the only batman game I couldnt finish
100% the first one, 80% the 2nd and beat the 3rd one origins
guess got tired of the formula by Knight but watched the story online...is kind of crazy, you are on for a ride

Yeah it’s just a shame it controls like sh-
what do u mean by that? both game control perfectly oh right you on steam deck

I mean - it’s just a controller
What I mean by that is the fact that this series goes in circles
And Capcom always finds a way to re-invent issues they already solved in the past
First of all - aiming
There’s a whole bunch of sliders here and no matter how much I fiddle with them I can’t get aiming to feel anything but clunky
While the most horror-y classic re games had auto-aim and it worked just fine
RE4 had no sliders at all and aiming there feels perfect
But - you can move and shoot in this one - so you have to use both sticks - so I know why this game has such a control scheme…
… but then re6 also allowed you to move and aim at the same time, also had a bunch of sliders for both and that thing controls like a dream
Basically John wick with zombies
And because of the fact that Capcom is trying to shove re into a standard modern dual-stick control scheme - running is now on l3
Which is fine
But it still has the quick 180 turn on…
Back + run
Which is so awkward on this control scheme
You can change run to B like it was in the old games
But now you either have set run on this indecisive toggle
Or you can have it on hold BUT NOW I CANT RUN AND LOOK AROUND
Capcom, guys
You had this stuff figured out already!
TWICE!
Come on, man
Im gonna make my own RE6 control scheme in this thing using steam input
And boom - done
Now I can have quick turn on B+back, transition smoothly to a run on B hold and turn and rotate the camera while running using the same stick
correction - it doesn’t work
I just broke it

I dont remember much about the control scheme but I do remember aiming feeling awful on controller, like the character's aim would randomly snap to places you didn't want it to. OG RE4 had some shaking but nothing to that level
guess the intention was to add a horror feel but it didn't work for me
still enjoyed it though, the police department was an amazing level

Yeah exactly
I finished this game already on a ps4 and it felt awful back then too
BUT
I’m about to fix it
Lmao
Fixed
It’s perfect
