What are you playing?

[WhitetailAni]

Just a quick question, what is the fastest way to see if I am actually playing Super Timmy Wii? I installed it on my Wii, but I already have NSMBW installed, and your mod has the same title, artwork and game ID. I played through W1 to the first castle on both versions and couldn't tell the difference between the two.

That's not it, the title screen is custom.
You'll know immediately that it's STW because of the " Super Timmy!! Wii" logo that pops up.
I used USBLoaderGX to play it when I tested it for 5 minutes on my Wii.

As a gamer, that's an insane will power you must have

Is it? I'm pretty sure there are plenty of games to check out on GOG. If you are a person, who wants to accumulate wealth in life, then in gaming there's pretty much just GOG. Service like Steam has too much power to screw you up, if you buy a few games and want your library to accumulate. On GOG you are actually buying games and I could consider them as a durable goods, meanwhile on Steam you are only buying not terminated rent to play games, until for some reason they start to think that you aren't worthy to play what you bought. If you disagree with that, then that entirely explains why would you actually buy your games to own them, not to "own" them. I just wish that DRM free gaming got popular and that it would be a norm, not a painful option.

Dude, 90% of steam games are not on gog, and 1\3 of triple AAA games come to gog YEARS after they launched on steam.

And yet, pure numbers are not a good indicator. Actually good games would be a better measure. Hell I have over 500 games on GOG versus 300 on Steam, and will never reach the end of my backlog on GOG. Just because there are another 5,000 available on Steam has not induced me to buy them there because the vast majority are either Krrrrapp or are a genre I don’t play, for instance.

In my case, I prefer GOG and will always choose that as my option if available both places, or if I know the publisher will be releasing relatively soon afterward on GOG. And although DRM-free is always my first pick, I’m also cognizant that life is short and health is fleeting. I won’t wait for something I want to play In the hopes I MIGHT be able to play it someday. In those cases I will buy it on another game store.

Now, can we get back to actually what people are playing instead of a GOG vs Steam fight? Maybe a new thread would be the best place for that, to let people discuss the merits of each.

Yeah, let's get back on topic. We don't want to force the mods to intercede.

On that note, I am currently working through a Super Metroid hack called UptroidDown

It's been interesting. Everything is upside down.

That's pretty good, considering that initially they only had good old games. So they mostly have old titles. GOG may not have everything, but whenever possible I would advise to buy from them instead of Steam. You may say that DRM doesn't matter, but when game gets old, DRM matters a lot. If it isn't removed, then it can turn really nasty and with Steam often in a loss of game, unless you pirate it.

true that
but thirsty teens didnt cared much.
at that time i preferred to play good pseudo 3d games like baldur's gate, homm 3, quake or starcraft than to train my counting skill with polygons

Same here, I had no interest in such things at the time so that 'appeal' was non existent to me.
At the time of the original TR games I was still in elementary school and my early years of gaming were pretty much limited to stuff like Mortal Kombat 4/Diablo/Carmageddon 2/Worms Armageddon+party/Age of Empires/Heroes 3/Red Alert 2 and other similar games like those.

Tho I have to say I do fancy Lara's design in the TR reboots as an adult but thats still not the main reason why I play those games its just a nice extra.

 

[TheLostSwede]

So as I was saying in my previous post, not enough resources in Humankind.
Played a 600 turn game, the longest you can play, one oil on an entire map, which made for a stupid endgame with fusion reactors and steam/sailboats...

sea of thieves and outer worlds.
never played SOT if should be a hoot! looks like it any ways. getting it on xbone for pc.

 

[purplekaycee]

Rage 2.

Subnautica below zero, definetly not as great as the 1st, barely any changes, worst story. And so much nonsense, how can you have icebergs in 26ºC water? or the same fish in sub zero water and tropical water

I'm not really a fan of Battle Royales but I've been playing a lot Naraka:Baldepoint recently. It's a melee-focused BR game which is very skill-oriented. You can't simply mash the attack button to win. You can customize the characters as well.

Is it just me or does this look like Jason Momoa?

Been playing through Outerworlds, good bit of fun.

I love this game so much... i wish there was a device to wipe my memory of a game so i can replay it for the first time again.

 

[jayjr1105]

The Ascent, not in love with it but it's good. Still getting used to a hack and slack/shooter hybrid. Game is beautiful although it gets depressing playing it as the sun literally never comes out in the game. Like it's always night time. lol.

 

[WhitetailAni]

More Hyrule Warriors: Legends!
I'm on the Wind Waker section and enjoying the game. Favorite hero is Link, second favorite hero is Lana.

We all have had that wish as some point!

Horizon zero dawn actually has me hooked, yay I'm a gamer again.

We have yet to see the first class action against an on-demand provider of software licenses (and access to the licensed stuff) with a whole slew of publishers and developers behind it waiting on money, that went out of business somehow and cut off that access.

But I can predict what the outcome will be. We have a right to access those licenses, make it happen, and its likely to fall upon the services/infra of the respective publishers owning the IP. Publishers that do not provide an online service are going to have to provide the software as is, and even create a new path for patching should they need to. Not hard, a simple download link will suffice. And hey... that's quite similar to GOG after all.

The moment that principle changes however, is when you sell your soul to a cloud service via subscription. What you're realistically buying then, is a temporary access to content. You're not owning any licenses. This is why cloud gaming is the devil and you should stay miles away from it, if you fancy gaming. For on-demand video you could defend that its one time watch and never care again... but games? Hmm. They need continued support for continued support from the dev.

Also... Jumped into ELEX. And yes... thank you for dragging me into this earlier. I'm sold. Yes, its clunky as hell, but these are some damn cool things to explore. Quest lines are cool, original, lots of choices to make and things to progress through. Interesting backstory and factions. Its yummy all over really and if you figure out the combo meter a bit, even combat isn't super annoying.

Already managed to bump into three companions that joined for the ride, Duras, Falk and this pale guy, my favorite so far for just being so blunt.

Also, perfect on UW

Horizon zero dawn actually has me hooked, yay I'm a gamer again.

Also gonna start playing that very soon, hopefully around the weekend. 'still finishing up Tell me why'
Wanted to play that game since it was relased on PC but it had serious issues with my 4GB RX 570 but now that I have a 1070 I can finally play it.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

was that free recently? Or only for console

I think I bought it in a steam sale ,a while ago.
It was also free on PSN, I'm sure I got it.
I'm on my laptop, wouldn't mind a go on my main rig at some point though it's a good looking game.

 

[Remeca]

I beat Horizon awhile ago on PS4 but I finally got the Frozen Wilds dlc so I'll be playing that too. I hope it lets me keep my special armor.
