Better visuals and much faster/cheaper for the developer to make.
We are still in the infancy of the technology and the vast majority of games with ray tracing doesn’t fully utilise it as they must compromise to support normal raster, leading to half baked implementations on engines not designed with ray tracing in mind.
Ownership in terms distribution of digital software is a bit funky I guess, but from a consumers point of view, there’s really nothing GOG/game companies can do once you got the installer. You’re effectively owning the bits on your hard drive and there’s nothing they can do to control what you do with those bits. I guess from a lawyers perspective it may be different, but in practice there isn’t much.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the licenses though? A game licensed under MIT would be free to share, attribution shouldn’t be much of problem.
The vast majority of the bestsellers on steam either have normal DRM or DRM via being an online service. At least the bestsellers in 2023.
Put the installer on a USB stick and sell it. I assume you’ve never gone back to the electronics store where you bought your dishwasher and expected to sell your used dishwasher there.
TIL I write better commit messages in my hobby projects than some Linux maintainers
Pathfinder also has fairly detailed difficulty settings panel, you can tailor the difficulty to your liking. Story mode difficulty and auto level up presets makes the game beatable for even your grandma, so you can ease into the system.
There are also some great guides out there for different builds for both companions and main character.
Graphics and voice acting, but only because they randomly stop speaking and go to pure text during dialogue. BG3 also doesn’t have Blackwater…
100% agree with the rest. I really hope Owlcat gets inspired by the more dynamic elements/environments from Larian’s games though.
Which in turn reposted it from a Roman source
And then the other half of the Internet cries about how all they do are lazy remasters.
No. Different genre at this point
I can’t remember ever having used meta critic to guide a purchase. There is so much content both from forums and YouTube/Twitch that gives you much more accurate impressions of games. Meta critic seems rather pointless nowadays.
As a Norwegian, that got to be our coolest stat, however I have no idea how it can be true. Even in my engineering bubble there aren’t that many people using Linux. It’s all Windows and macs for home computers.
Children probably
Ubisoft are
It’s been a mix throughout the years. The initial problem software years ago was Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, but since then it’s been various engineering/programming related software that only supports Windows. I’m primarily on Linux at this point on my laptop.
I did try that years ago, ran into performance issues and other bugs, and it wasn’t worth messing around with when dual booting is so simple. Might reconsider in the future if MS keeps messing up though.
Cost me a few hours and ended up just disabling secure boot in the end. Wish I didn’t need MS for some programs.
Just a heads up that I think you replied to the wrong comment in the chain
It started long before that, I think ubisoft in general was hugely influential in that trend.
I’m the same with 1. I’d recommend trying out Black Mesa, it might be the best game remake ever made.
