The studio closed in 2023 so I’m also curious who is getting the money

Titanfall 2.

And the fatal flaw is that it’s basically dead, the sequel will never release, and the “sequel” we’ve got in Apex Legends is nowhere close to how good tf2 was

They are constantly yo-yoing over making games or just providing cloud services, they’ve closed the only studio that made them a highly rated exclusive in recent years, released all decent exclusives to competitors, stopped the backwards compatibility program, increased GP pricing, stopped making physical games, haven’t done anything with any popular ip they’ve bought since early 2000s, pioneered paid multiplayer and ads on the dashboard, and I have a lot more complaints. And I’ve had both xbox one and series x, and they were fine as game systems, but I’m not getting the next thing they make.

Sony hasn’t been that much better, but at least they are actually making games, and these games are well made, even if we saw fewer releases this gen.

Steam Deck is the only sustainable option it seems, considering where the industry is these days.

Same in Brazil. Weird as it seems to be available in steam

Edit: it’s available now in Brazil, 6 hours later

Psychonauts 1 and 2.

Some of the most imaginative big budget games in existence, from themes to art style to level design

What have you been playing

Jak and Daxter 2 via opengoal on Steam Deck. Such a clunky game, but it runs beautifully (except I had to stop right now because it crashed in the middle of the mission, but that’s one crash in several hours). This game feels like a sequence of levels that are just hard enough to be infuriating, but without feeling impossible. And the characters make it more interesting and easier to keep trying the same mission 20 times in a row.

Thanks for doing these, this is some top quality content!

I wonder if Microsoft is making dev mode free because hackers got close to a working exploit in retail mode. There was one shared almost an year ago, but it required a specific app from the store that had been deleted since, but maybe it led to something behind the scenes.

We just got a pretty good Dead Space remake, so maybe

Download managers usually have more control over the download process, allow downloading same file in multiple threads to increase speed, have better resume function, better organization of downloads etc. If you don’t have a need for such things you don’t need to use it.

Or Canon printers. Or any inkjets for that matter

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light is really nice coop

Is it worth playing now?
