I think the Era of consoles needs to come to an end and we need to transition to exclusively open PC-based or PC-Like platforms with Dedicated UIs to replicate the console experience (like Steam’s Big Picture) but on an open hardware and software platform.
Either way they’re eroding their credibility very very quickly.
Edit: He literally made a comment claiming he’s going to make a game about a porn studio. I don’t think we can say he isn’t a troll at this point.
I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this user is a troll.
Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.
That’s true, but the way they cut up the larger map environments into smaller ones to fit it in the DS’ smaller ram and the DS’ poorer touch screen sensitivity really made the game significantly worse, if not unplayable to an extent. I don’t think I ever finished it because it needed me to draw something and the game just wouldn’t recognize the shape I drew as correct because of the awful touchscreen. It was basically soft-locked.
The lazy and poor plot was bad enough on its own but the technical problems I encountered were so bad the game was basically unplayable.
This is exciting news, Okami is one of my favorite games and it would be very nice to see a sequel for it. I hope they keep a similar if not the same artstyle as the original one. Either way though it’ll be really nice to have a sequel since as most people know, original left on a bit of a cliffhanger.
This should not be an Okamiden situation.
There’s no equivalent to the Nintendo DS these days, no excuse to make something that awful now.
I feel like Okamiden could’ve been a better game had they released it for the PSP instead of the Nintendo DS. They could’ve used bigger maps, better graphics, and still had somewhat decent controls.
You don’t even need instructions on betting, betting or wagering is something that people can figure out on their own quite easily, the behavior is often demonstrated in real life in other non-gambling scenarios “I bet ya can’t climb that tree”, so if we assume a game about playing cards can be considered gambling, than the assumption that Playing cards themselves would also be considered gambling materials seems plausible, but it is meant to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
Just play it in Wine or Steam Proton as a non-steam game, it’s a PC game after all.
Isn’t that a PC game? I don’t think an Emulator is needed for that, you can run it on Wine, or Steam Proton as a non-steam game.
And yet we have whiny idiots saying copyright encourages artists to create new works. Why the fuck would it when they can just rehash the same shit over and over and over and continue making money on them?
That assumption is based on assuming that profits produce joy and passion in a project. Something which is blatantly false if you look at any of the largest, richest companies in the world.
I suppose playing cards in Europe are considered “gambling materials” under that logic and aren’t allowed to be sold to people under 18? That would be absurd.
Been playing a bit of Minecraft and also a bit of Flock. I recently got a few new games but I haven’t played them as much lately. Been busy.
Maybe they used to be, but they certainly aren’t anymore.
Gamestop isn’t popular…
Nice to see more SteamOS systems, hopefully Valve plays it smart and we don’t lose the benefits of the current Steam Deck by having more systems which are wildly more powerful than it. That way developers still have the Steam Deck as a stable target spec wise.
It’s because right wing people are simping for and sticking up for Israel, and the IDF. Notice how in the Article it’s LibsOfTikTok who’s calling out the game and encouraging its removal from Steam?
Edit: For people not in the know LibsOfTikTok is an alt-right American internet personality, and also apparently a news curator now. They push a lot of anti-trans hate and alt-right talking points on Twitter, and they’re probably a terrorist too.
Yeah I do remember those things, it was a cool idea, slightly janky at the time and their expectation for others to develop games natively for linux was a bit too bold, but it was very good for what it was. I will say that what we have with the Steam Deck and even unofficial Steam OS is way better in every way imaginable though. I imagine if Valve released Steam Consoles now, they’d be a smash hit, because as it is, there isn’t very much out there for people who are looking to get into PC gaming on a budget, and Living room gaming on PC is fiddly and clunky. SteamOS and Steam machines solve both of those problems.
It almost certainly won’t be like last time considering how far Proton has come and given the popularity of the Steam Deck. I imagine that a Mini PC home console with Steam OS from Valve would do the PC gaming market a lot of good since it would act as a stable piece of hardware for Devs to target and optimize for. Since as it currently is, PC gaming hardware evolves and progresses way too fast.
Not exactly the most exciting year for me, I don’t know if non-steam games are counted as “sessions” there, if they aren’t my count might’ve been higher (I played a lot of Minecraft on my Steam Deck).
