Can someone explain to me why they are so averse to pc that it’s literally in their contract?

They’ll make you shit like a champion

Going back a ways here with Castlevania: Symphony of The Night. It seems like a fairly fleshed out game as it is when you get to the “final” boss but then you read a guide and find out “ending A” is only half of the game

There’s like three different points in the game that look like the end before revealing more. It’s a chunky game. If it was paced slightly better and the dialogue trimmed (by a lot) it would be perfect. But it’s close enough

I always imagined a Ciri game as a more action-oriented and somewhat more over-the-top spin-off based on how she played in Witcher 3. But honestly I’ll be content as long as it’s a good game

Which one would you recommend most?

I normally agree with you but Naughty Dog has a good enough track record that I’m not worried. But yes in principle I do absolutely hate the trend

Damn I totally forgot that existed! lol

I think it would be interesting if they did a home version of the Steam Deck basically. Do a valve branded stripped down gaming PC on/around the same level as ps5 and series X using this OS to give a “console feel” to PC gaming while keeping the PC modularity and ecosystem for people who are interested in PC but don’t know what specs to look for and where to start, or those that want to get back into it after a long time as well as those interested in Linux. It would have the added benefit of not requiring kbm, windows purchase, and mostly free online play. Maybe that wouldn’t work but it’s just a thought

Honestly it was a hassle that took quite a while to get everything working correctly, but for me personally it was worth it. There’s several guides for it but almost all of them are a bit outdated in 2024, but there’s a good community who are really helpful: https://discord.gg/zelda-botw-modding-hub-316759222207643649

For the steamdeck you’ll average about 40fps with the right settings, which isn’t a lot but it’s better than on switch or Wii U

Well you can’t buy it digitally at all anymore and if you do find the disc it’s usually priced as a “retro collectible” so the only reasonable way to get it is via the high seas—which, technically, is “really cheap”

Over-the-top, cartoonishly feral expression of pure id

Chekhov’s egg

Like what?

I love Breath of The Wild, but I’m playing my third run of it on my steam deck with a significant amount of mods because those devs have a serious aversion to simple and basic qol

Actually I haven’t, fascinating! Somehow I didn’t even notice that word in there, I was just thinking about how it sounded like ‘scum’ lol

I’ve only learned the name “Scunthorpe” recently because I was reading up on a band I really like from there. I remember noting that it was about the ugliest name for a town I could think of that doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words… but I would assume it’s a perfectly lovely place regardless of that
