Nope, Spider-Man 2 is the first thing I'm planning on getting super into in a while. I reinstalled Cyberpunk last night and picked up my save from 3 years ago, but I don't know if finishing it is much of a priority for me right now so much as just having fun.

EA is doing with Battlefield what Activision is doing with CoD, the difference being that CoD is actually succeeding.

Too bad Battlebit Remastered isn't on console, it's very good.

Calling people the things they literally are is not name-calling. For example, conservatives tried to overthrow our government, tried to overthrow our democracy, and have been sending elementary schools in my town bomb threats for weeks. It's not name calling to say they're terrorists.

Edit: To clarify, the bomb threats are because a librarian joked about having a "woke agenda." These are the same types of people.

Don't worry, they're complaining about poor sales and this is Square Enix so they will almost assuredly double down on the issues causing those poor sales.

I mean, yeah, considering "conservatives" generally only seem to care about taking rights away from others. Giving back is pretty radical of them.

I mean, to be blunt, the game was never going to beat PAYDAY 2. PD2 is years of updates and content additions to make it fun despite the shitty engine, PAYDAY 3 is a brand new game with a lot of potential but all of it unrealized.

To re-iterate, Ubisoft has done nothing to curb the sexual harassment issues that were reported ages ago and, frankly, simply not requiring return to office would've solved that problem along with a boost to employee happiness and workplace attractiveness.

And without the context that these devs just added Denuvo to their game, you might have a point. They shouldn't be supported for fucking consumers, time can be tracked by adding as a non-Steam game, and by the point they remove Denuvo, the patches probably won't be rolling in anymore.

Personally, I don't pirate, so this is where I'd buy grey market or used on console. They wanna be dicks, I'm gonna be a dick right back.

Unfortunately, patent trolling means they won't become mainstream. Companies have to pay to add paddles, so they won't unless it's part of a more expensive controller offering.

About time. There was no reason this should've taken this long. What's with companies needing to take legal action on fans fixing their games before they decide to do it themselves? At least it's happening, the more older games we have on newer platforms, the better.

Glad they're finally catching up to Xbox from a platform features standpoint. Things like this were why I used to be so pro-Xbox, but that gap is narrowing rapidly.

Maybe they shouldn't be doing everything possible to drive off consumers. Exclusivity deals everywhere, prices that don't like to dip, multiple versions of the same game so you need to pay more for the complete thing later. I tried to get into FF with 15, and I actually really liked it. Then all this nonsense happened with FF7R and I just gave up because it seemed like a pain to try and follow the series.

You're welcome to have that opinion. My opinion is that this is a niche issue that doesn't actually affect anyone's ability to play the game because dual-booting an unregistered copy of Windows and using tools to remove the watermark isn't difficult. It's realistically not a problem unless you're hyper privacy-sensitive, in which case there are cut-down versions of Windows out there that strip all of the gunk out.

Tbh the only reason I've got an ounce of care about FaZe is because their CSGO team is pretty cool. The "clan" itself is just this weird baggage that comes with the name.

I'm sure the 2% of Steam users that they were almost definitely losing money supporting will enjoy this announcement for decades to come.

If you were okay with "man, after getting away from a life of crime, is immediately pulled back in by people who don't have his best interests at heart and will use him to betray others before eventually getting betrayed themselves" for over two decades, I don't think you need to worry. Took until RDR2 to break that mold.

I quit playing when they started sunsetting planets,

I vowed never to spend another dime on Bungie products until they give me back the $60 campaign I paid for.

I don't know how this game is still going after they consistently make unpopular decisions that turn people away. Maybe being dumbstruck by that is why Sony bought them.

Edit: Like I straight-up paid them full game price only to be treated like an F2P player because they're apparently incapable of doing what 343 did with all of their older games in the MCC and allowing players to install specific parts of content. I'm still annoyed that I'm being punished for their incompetence.

Last time I trusted Bethesda, we got Fallout 4, a game I still believe is just straight-up unfinished and lacking in story content. I think I'm just gonna hold off and wait for a few patches anyway, it's not like I'm a speed runner or anything that needs the bugs.

Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it's not going to stop just because bots can't get in automatically anymore.

No, I can almost guarantee you, without doing any research into these, that I would strongly prefer my Steelseries Arctis Pro Nova wireless headphones. A few years back, my dream headset was the Arctis Pro Wireless but with better adjustability for my apparently large head, and after years of dIcking around with the HyperX Cloud II Wireless and getting tired of it constantly cutting out, I went looking and found that Steelseries had made just that (and this time with ANC).

If Noctua made a booster pack for my headphones, I'd buy that, though.
