How recent is this? The reviews seem to be really good, 75% recommend as of now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/

But more importantly, it’s early access. Wouldn’t you expect some healthy criticism in the reviews for an unfinished product? I’d even say 75% is exceptionally good for an EA game.

Or, has the plea for positive reviews already worked? In that case, that would be even closer to review bombing, because you earned those positive reviews by mass appealing to guilt/pity…

You know what would gather even more interest? Games not running like shit on native resolution.

Giving currency for free: giving people real money isn’t something any dev wants to deal with, so giving in game currency allows this to happen. This also applies to games where you can convert free currency to premium currency.

But this is how gift codes work, no? You’re not giving money away directly. Just give a voucher for a real currency if you want to gift users.

Hmmm… Or, or, hear me out: what about you’re some guy in some mysterious place, but here comes the best part: this time you have amnesia and you must shoot guns at monsters to uncover the truth?

Hell yeah! I really recommend this game, if a surreal horror roguelike FPS with procedurally generated dungeons sounds interesting. There are some really interesting mechanics there, like being able to eat your weapons to gain an effect. In fact, you can eat everything you can hold. In a pickle? Eat your map and hope for some healing. Or you might catch on fire.

Wow, it is… Look at the staff being held at the left by two monsters, one in the background and the other in the foreground.

Literally why?? It’s so obvious slop too. Shame.

They should apologize for their insensitivity

90% of people can still be wrong.

Depends on the game. If it’s not really demanding on reaction time, and the game is locked framerate I’m fine with 30, like Okami. However if the game is not locked FPS and I still can’t hit 60 FPS at least on my 1440p monitor I’d probably just play something else (because I know I could have better experience is I could run it).

However for shooter and reaction heavy games I always aim to max out my 144 Hz monitor, even 60 FPS can feel sluggish for me

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was one of the defining games of my childhood. It was the first decent platformer I played on PC, I love the theme. And the OST is a banger.

Bring back Jazz Jackrabbit! I wonder how it would do today as a more hardcore metroidvania platformer…

GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can’t blame them for leaning into it. I’m not interested anyway.

only? 30-40 hours is still pretty damn long …

Because most of the users don’t know how to turn that shit off in AAA games. It’s often just defaults to being on, no?

Also I thought DLSS is supposed to help with underspecced PC-s to help run modern games. So this is a self burn in a way, either RTX cards are not as performant as hoped, or the AAA games sector is just fucked, as they cannot for the life of them pump out an optimized game.

But the engine is shit. Threat Interactive on YouTube have done some awesome rendering analysis on UE5 games and engine features which I highly recommend to watch. But it’s the industry standard now in AAA space, sadly, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

Perfect timing, as Cassette Beasts is in this month’s Humble Choice as well!

With 1GB RAM you’re better off with 32bit anyway, as applications will use less memory. Sick setup though, I hate electronic waste so it delights me to see sim old tech getting a second life.

What remains as methods of protest after this? I wonder what would happen to a subreddit if it’s moderators would simply stop moderating all together…

But I guess admins could always make someone a moderator, there’s always someone willing to have a power trip.

I think it’s more important than ever. Software is getting slower and slower, and the bloat is ridiculous. Imho this is because we just work with abstractions over abstracions ignorant to how it will be computed on a real machine. I think a more appropriate methapor would be, that you can speak and understand language (program) while being illiterate at the same time (not having a fundamental understanding on how a computer works). Of course this is a exaggeration, you don’t need to know about these stuff to be a adequate programmer I think.

Ooooh, I love GeckOS, rolls off the tongue silky smooth. Maybe this is just a great opportunity to rebrand (again)
