IIRC I have tried the game with proton(and/or -ge), it never worked on those.
I'm probably just going to accept dosbox for the game (it also fixes some minor graphics issues with it). I'm mostly concerned about old game installers - but then again, gog/steam don't have those installers anyway, so it's only an issue if the user is adamant on using original install media or so.
This update broke a game for me, namely "Castle of the Winds", it's a 16-bit windows 3.1 game. Not really a huge loss as I can just run it in win3.1 I have in dosbox - but it was pretty nice to have in modern resolution :D
I did like Control, and I do like coop-shooters... but I would prefer some story campaign instead of few repeatable/grindable mission-types with minor run-to-run variance.
Overall, I’m definitely wanting to play through this to completion.
So, this game does have some story arc? Genuinely do want to know.
Stiff linear ones are my thing, currently using Durock L7 78g ones. Haven't really felt the need to seek alternatives as they're nice, smooth and my sausage fingers don't cause accidental keypresses when just resting them on keys :D
You can make your character as pretty as you please (though, no "sex appeal" -slider like in Saint's Row :D). Also, no 3rd person camera, so you'd only see your character in inventory screen. Otherwise there's bit of boobies to be seen - and massive amounts if you so choose with modding.
Difficultywise it'll cater to very casual approach, but the game does the "bethesda-thing" where you will end up as destroyer of worlds regardless of difficulty.
edit: btw, you might want to specify your platform? No modding for cyberpunk on consoles as of yet, I just assumed PC here.
I got back to Marvel Heroes (tldr: "mmo" diablo-clone with marvel characters), as the private server emulator resurrected the game.
The game got killed ~8 years ago, and every passing year since made my craving for the game that much worse. And late 2024 some absolute madlads released a server emulator, and it's seems to work great, though the server I'm currently playing is having occasional lag spikes, which isn't great. I could self-host the server for just for me and/or some friends, but that'd require effort. :D
Anyhoo, got through the story-campaign with my fav marvel character, started looking at the end game ... and suddenly I remembered why I stopped playing the game in the first place. It gets pretty grindy. Oh well, I still have a truck load of characters to play - they all play quite differently, give or take some similar ones (like, the thing, hulk, etc bruisers are fairly samey, gun-tooting-heroes also are somewhat similar, but still all of them have their own twist to it). Each max leveled character gives an account-wide exp boost so leveling gets faster and faster. So... gotta churn them levels, I guess. :)
EDIT: oh right, I also finished Kathy Rain, a pretty neat detective point-and-click adventure. I can't say I had heard of the game before, but as people were frothing about Kathy Rain 2, and the first one was on steep discount, I decided to give it a go... and oh man, worth.
The art, voice acting and gameplay were great. Puzzles were logical for the most part, but there were 2-3 puzzles which did stump me a bit and had to take a peek on a walkthrough - one wasn't even difficult, but I was overthinking it way too hard and somehow confused red and blue repeatedly, but I guess few beers do affect detective skills... In any case I got through the game with a LONG single session, but I just couldn't let it go.
Anyhoo, Kathy Rain was pretty dope, eagerly waiting to pick up the sequel later on.
when your main stat is strength, and you've entirely ignored int/wis
Seriously though, if the cable doesn't want to come out with reasonable force, the solution is PROBABLY NOT to apply more force. What kind of cavemen do you have working there?
Kinda cool this kind of "work sims" keep popping up. Though I tend to lose interest in them after few hours, as the gameplay generally turns to routine and becomes fairly boring... that said I don't even know how many hours I've spent driving a truck in Euro Truck 2 so... not all routines are the same, I guess?
Is the game fairly dimly lit or is your store just trying to save on electricity?
"something something monkey paw curls" - maybe the contract didn't specifically mention it would be a game of their liking, and so sony dictated it has to be a online-pvp-shooty
But then again, destiny was already an online-shooty so.. dunno.
Never played a Marathon game, but as they are free on steam (bundled with some source port with AFAIK modern controls), I need to gather my pals and play them.
I'm just spitballing, but the ip owner needs to do something with the ip so they can keep it? IIRC similar things have been mentioned here and there when some long forgotten ip suddenly gets a new loweffort installment.
So, could be that they were making the extraction shooty anyway, so they slapped Marathon on it "just to refresh the timer"? I dunno if that's how it works, not a lawyer.
