Seconding A Hat in Time. It's probably the closest platformer to Mario Odyssey that isn't Mario. The last DLC (Nyakuza Metro) is especially worth your time.
Praying that one day GOG can strike a deal with console owners to bring old abandoned game to PC. I know decompiles exist but you basically need to pirate the games to play them which is very inaccessible.
Yeah, this is probably going to bomb. I have to give them some credit for making it look goofy and having characters look like the cartoon, but it's giving me "trying hard to be a Marvel movie" vibes. The ultra generic trailer music doesn't help.
Crazy that the Sands of Time remake was supposed to come out early 2021... Remakes are supposed to be quick projects for easy money, how could Ubisoft mess it up that much? Sands of Time isn't even a long game!
One was a cancelled mobile game but now I'm curious what the other 4 were. I guess we'll never find out as they funnel all that money to their successful live-service stuff.
The Matrix Resurrections. I already had a feeling it would suck but it managed to be worse than I could ever imagine, they weren't even trying to hide how much of a cashgrab it is.
Not only stupid in general but extremely stupid considering Rockstar already made it clear they don't like 3rd party mods when they were taking down GTA RP servers.
I'm running it on CachyOS and while it usually runs super well I'm sometimes getting random freezes for 1-2 seconds. Have you encountered anything like that or is that a me thing?
Definitely worth waiting for reviews, but I'm sure they'll come out soon.
FWIW all mtx will be cosmetics only, with the good news that there's no restrictions on mods changing how you look. Their EULA also disallows any pay-to-win mtx in servers similar to Minecraft.
The lead dev backtracked on paid mods (at least for now), saying he's looking into having quick access to donating instead. I wouldn't say it's anything near Roblox territory.
Yeah nobody in this thread went past the title, but that's literally not what he said.
He actually said that demanding X remove AI features is gatekeeping since competitors get to keep them, which is still a dumb take but very very far from "Tim Sweeny loves child porn"...
