It’s amazing that it’s still the best rally sim to this day. This game is old enough to drink in the States.
Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn’t properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends. Made way too many Fedi accounts

welp, guess I’m keeping this thread open for tomorrow morning when I get to fixing this. Hopefully by then things will be more fixed upstream…
Hm. Maybe I’ll do it, then. Don’t know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.
Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90’s and early 2000s.
there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don’t want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn’t have one.
Why am I not surprised.
Always online even in singleplayer is already a non-starter, but other than that (people literally not being able to play the game on release due to congested login servers) the driving is subpar, the city map looks nice but is empty like a ghost town, the driving is subpar, the soundtrack is terrible, the radio inserts sound AI generated, and progression seems bad too.
Oh, and apparently this was the best they could do after several delays of over a year. I hear the entire dev team went on strike against their publisher immediately after release too. And to think they also trashed their last WRC title for this, too. Just an absolute drawn out shitshow.
You sure it isn’t the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?
Eh, it’s annoying but it wasn’t even a very good wad. If you want to play it, you can just download it off the internet and play it on another free sourceport.
Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry and Dragon Age: full of insipid, unnecessary microtransactions ranging from regular consumable items, to cosmetics that were usually just included with the game normally. God I love Capcom’s games but I hate them as a company.
Although I grew up with Playstation controllers in my hands, ever since I tried an XBox 360 controller I never went back. I’ve been using XBone controllers on my PC for years now, and I just love the ergonomics of them in my hand, the clicky D-pad, the rounded buttons. I’ve always hated the PS dpad, it hurts my thumb. Now, I probably won’t keep buying “original” XBox controllers, but anything with that shape and feels that comfortable in my hand, will be my choice.
I really want to get one of those.
Sony REALLY wanted this to be the next big thing, the next Overwatch. Except even Overwatch itself failed at being the “next Overwatch” so this is hilarious.
It’s all of those factors, combined. It’s like a granny turtle trying to catch a trend that went past it 5 years ago. And the entire game being horribly, terribly visually unappealing with the worst character designs ever, does not help at all.
Yes, yes it is. The term coined by the Ubishit CEO trying to cover his own ass by claiming that Skull and Bones took so much time and money to make, and was being sold for higher than $60 (while still being a pile of shit) by saying it was a “AAAA game” and the term stuck. I mean, it’s own very first use was to describe a terrible AAA game. It’s only natural.
oohh that is nice, I think I’ll swap my nano to that.
Or Quake! Even though I suck at arena shooters, any of them I’d want to hop in for.
I would ABSOLUTELY attend a local tournament for AC6. The netcode is absolute ASS but the gameplay is so crisp, if we could play it without lag or ghost hits it would be great.
It’s a game about WW1. It came out a few years ago, before Battlefield V iirc.
It’s open, it’s free, and it’s fun! It’s got a ton of mods and custom games to make it whatever you want out of a voxel game. That’s everything I need.
Shoutouts to the Asuna game.
They’ve been doing snaps for a few years already so it already seems like they’re keeping up with this bullshit (in fact they’re putting more and more stuff there) It’s already the reason people stopped recommending Ubuntu to new users and instead go for Mint or Pop!OS
