I'd agree with that. Still so much left to do on the portrait itself, so definitely not worth fighting them down there.

If they would just keep it against the portrait background rather than covering over a quarter of the face, that would probably be fine, but they were fighting me tooth and nail around the right eye last night before they seemingly gave up on it.

Need some help in the upper-right corner. Somebody's really making an effort to draw a cloud or something over us.

Pretty sure early access only covered Act 1, though.

For 99+% of the Switch's target demographic, there aren't options.

They have never heard of the Deck, the Ally, or any of the other handheld PCs. They know three things about gaming: Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. Those last two don't let them play Mario, Zelda, or Smash Bros., and they certainly don't let them play on the go, so they essentially only have one option.

I love my Deck and I hope to see the handheld PC market continue to grow and evolve, but it's just delusional to think that it will ever get to a point where it will have even the slightest impact on the third-best-selling console of all time (or, more to the point, its successor).

That's amazing news (or, will be when it's official)! I'd fully given up on ever playing it, so this is really coming out of left field.

It still runs like absolute garbage. I tried at launch and it was essentially unplayable, so I put it down and played other stuff for a few months to see if they'd take the time to patch it. Picked it up again a week or two back and it's just as bad as it's always been.

Playing on a Ryzen 9 5950X, 32 GB RAM, and a 3080Ti at 3440x1440, and it regularly is dropping into the 30s (and very occasionally below even that). Changing settings does not help. It's a terribly optimized stuttery mess. Might be fine in a few years after a hardware upgrade or two when future CPUs might be able to just brute-force their way past whatever they did here, but it's not worth playing on PC right now.

There's a video in a tweet in the linked article.

I love seeing more competition in the PC handheld market.

Yes! It's so great to see this one play out in the exact opposite way from Steam Machines and VR. In all these cases, Valve made noise about how they wanted to kickstart a category with their own thing and then sorta leave it in third-party OEMs' hands (less so with Machines, I suppose, since that one they just went straight to the OEMs). Fun watching the Deck take off like it did and sorta launch the entire form factor into the mainsteam.

It's not only by the same dev, it's actually a prequel to The Messenger, set a couple thousand years before.

I just really wish they'd kept up their track record of always trying something new rather than falling back on the money printer that doing a sequel to Hades is sure to be. I know Hades II will be good and all, and it'll surely have their incredible level of polish and an absolute banger of a soundtrack, but... what else might we have gotten instead, y'know?

since it didn’t seem that people complained

Nevermind didn't complain - that UI won actual awards. And despite OP's disdain for the concept (which, admittedly isn't always implemented very well in other titles), Destiny's implementation of it was really good. (It still is, but it was, too.)

Don't let it set in.

Hades uses Epic's EOS suite to do cross-platform between at least Switch and PC (not sure about the other consoles, but I'd be surprised if they weren't included, too), and I believe cross-store, too, if you for whatever reason own it on both EGS and Steam (again, not 100% sure about that, but I think it's the case).

I'm immeasurably disappointed in XVI for naming a pair of characters Tyler and Wade rather than Biggs and Wedge.

🙄

There are actual authorized key seller sites out there (Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, GamesPlanet, AllYouPlay, IndieGala, Voidu, etc.), you just need to make sure they're not selling ill-gotten keys. Basically, if the price seems like it's too good to be true (as it always will on grey market keyshops like G2A, Kinguin, etc.), that's because it is too good to be true.

As others have mentioned, use https://isthereanydeal.com/ to find the best prices. They don't let illegitimate sites into their listings.

years

They showed the first in-engine footage a couple weeks back, but as is tradition in the gaming world, they announced the thing three years ago.

The idea is to move there in enough numbers to overwhelm the GOP majority and make the state not be a shithole anymore.

This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort

Yeah, this user just does nothing but spam overly-long poorly-written diatribes about boomer shooters on what I'm guessing is their own instance then crossposts them here. Not worth the time or effort to read - I just went ahead and blocked them to try to clean my feed up a bit.
