I think it‘s car licenses, I heard Ferrari for example is obscenely expensive to license, the licenses run out and it‘s not worth to renew them since the games don‘t make much money anymore.
If you‘re eyeing NFS Unbound for that sweet 90+% discount, get Forza Horizon, The Crew 2/Motorfest or even NFS Heat instead. The effects - which most people take offense with - are probably the only thing about this game that isn’t generic and the only thing I have a positive opinion about. The car handling, the map, the story, the soundtrack, the performance, the cops - the fucking cops… Long rant short: Get a different acarde racer and don‘t waste your time with NFS Unbound. There’s a reason they’re already throwing it away for five bucks.
NFS Heat is the same shit but better, and The Crew or Forza Horizon are way better than that still.
The original is such a hidden gem, my absolute favorite shop managing game. Its only downside was that the main story kinda was done too quickly. Less than ten hours IIRC.
This game really does deserve a proper (good) sequel.
(Why does it say ProjectRecetter at the bottom of the menu screen lol)
I think I bought this game in summer for 15ish bucks and now they‘ve practically given it away on Steam last sale (3 bucks) and literally on Epic lol, absolutely fantastic game btw, great co-op fun
Agree with you, I platinum‘d it but in the end it frustrated me way more than any other Soulsborne title since there‘s practically no different approaches to fights. You either learn the one way they want you to beat the boss in or you‘re stuck. There‘s no choosing magic or a smaller weapon or a bigger weapon or more armor or less armor.
I also think it‘s by far the hardest of the Soulsbornes (that I‘ve played), it‘s basically the Dark Souls of Soulsborne games lol
I think I‘d pass on a Sekiro 2, having experienced this once is enough for me.
And I don‘t think games have to look that good either… I‘m currently playing MGSV and that game‘s 8 years old, runs at 60 fps on the Deck, and looks amazing. It feels like hundreds of millions are being burned on deminishing returns nowadays…
A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).
I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!
Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.
I love hunting for achievements and there’s always one unfinished game that’s a fallback to push a bit further in these cases where I stare at my Steam library for five minutes without starting anything, right now it‘s „if in doubt, play Metal Gear Solid V“
Runs 60 FPS all high on the Deck as well, which is crazy to me
Heroic Launcher should enable anyone (who‘s wondering how) to install games from different launchers on their Deck.
I‘ve only done it for the Ninja Turtles game and it didn‘t work right away - had to follow a protondb entry from a few weeks after my initial attempt to install dependencies - so be prepared to potentially tinker; it‘s not as hassle-free as a direct Steam install.
You‘re a JRPG machine! I also loved Trails in the Sky 1&2, complete surprise to me. I didn‘t think I‘d like it much just going by the completely dated graphics and gameplay alone, but the story had me enthralled. I‘m not sure where exactly it stands on my all time favorite stories list, however, top 10 easily.
I loved the first one even though it‘s crazy punishing, I looked at the second one, saw a metric shit ton of dlc, and decided it‘s too big for me
Funny enough I also decided to skip straight to the third one, and let‘s say I wasn‘t too impressed, especially coming from the first game. Going from one cop lasering you down to a dozen cops doing a conga line around you taking a turn each to shoot a bullet at you is surreal. Completely different game.
On one hand I‘m worried about possible game direction influence on FROM titles, on the other hand I’m hopeful that maybe we finally get competent Soulsborne PC ports if Sony acquires them even if only for upcoming titles
