Not living in Canada anymore, but when I visit in June they won’t get a cent from me.

The last 2 MW have been multi-gen releases, so one good thing you can say about COD is that the engine is well optimized. Given MW3 doesn’t look much different than MW2 (not a criticism), I’m assuming a solid launch.

Controllers in general are also extremely accessible, and expandable for those that might struggle using a tradtional mouse and keyboard.

Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.

Is there any ranking of ‘most pirated game’ tracked by leechers accross to top indexes?

I remember FIFA being the first thing everyone pirated when I lived in the dorms in University.

This is really sad to see – I absolutely loved PD2 at release. It’s some of the most fun co-op moments I’ve ever had in a game (maybe even the best).

I also played the beta and enjoyed the refined experience, but have still been working through BG3 and Starfield, so I decided to hold off on playing. Was hoping for a smooth release for everyone excited to play the game, so it’s disappointing to see how terrible the experience has been at launch.

I would upgrade for a slightly smaller, more battery efficient Steamdeck with an OLED screen. I know that’s a lot to ask for, but definitely performance is the least of my concerns.

I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn’t any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.

Does this type of mod break with updates, or could you potentially just stay on the version you downloaded and forego any updates? I don’t mod much to the point where I’ve paid for any, but curious the requisite of ongoing subscription for this type of thing.

You’ll be taxed 40% and you’ll be happy about it.

I mean, at least use someone elses children.

Maybe eventually, but TES has 5 main title games, an MMO and a mobile game. It will take more than one release for Starfield to prove iteself.

I hope they continue to expand on the gore systems in the game. I know that doesn’t keep a game fresh for 10s of hours, but I do appreciate how they lean into the carnage factor. Reminds me of Soldier Of Fortune 1+2 in the sense.

The downtown strip of the town I grew up in (about 2hrs from Toronto) is a ghost town. I doubt retailers want to risk starting a lease on a commercial property when in many situations, brick&mortar isn’t much of an asset.

Probably doesn’t need to be said at this point, but HL2 has such a timeless look that even the original graphics still look great to me.

Perhaps that makes it a great candidate for technology like this, as the underlying assets are fantastic.

As someone who is terrible at turn based CRPGs, I’ve found the explorer mode to be just perfect for me. I hit a skillwall imediately after fort joy in DOS2 on the easiest setting, so I was really pleasantly surprised.

Definitely seems worth it to keep one rogue in the party just for lockpicking. Seems to save a lot of time.

I would go for PC, simply for the fact that you can get a Quake 2 key for super cheap, and the upgrade is free on PC for existing owners.

Also Xenia Canary is a much better expierience than emulatoing Switch

Especially compared to DOS2, the combat is really engaging IMO.
