That’s a fair gripe with the list. I guess “Top 100 Games” is just more catchy than “100 Great Games In Random Order”

… Although at this point I’ve seen so many “Top x y” lists that “x Great y In Random Order” would, ironically, catch my attention more.

I fully understand someone thinking x game deserves to be there instead of y but I think this is a great list that spans most genres and serves as a wonderful stepping stone for exploration within gaming.

If I give this list to someone who doesn’t know yet, what kind of games they like, this list will show them great games from all major “eras” and all kinds of dev studio sizes/budgets. And once they have played, say, KotoR 2 (since it’s in the same list that recommends new and good games like Baldur’s Gate 3, they are more likely to check out other old but great games like Gothic 1 and 2 (and, of course, KotoR 1).

I would count Sifu as being pretty linear and very good. Probably the best martial arts fantasy-ish game out there that’s single-player (for that but multiplayer take Absolver, the same devs’ first game)

Smart! If my company ever digitises enough to make this a possibility, I’ll implement (or at least suggest) it!

Okay, thank you for the comprehensive answer! I remembered wrong, I actually have the GTX 1660 Ti. Ever since I switched from my 970, I always mix up the numbers. Nonetheless, it changes almost nothing about your statement, I think, lol

You’re right. And sure, it’s gonna suck for the twelve legitimate people who lose their access because their sibling is a dickwad, but that’s an okay tradeoff if it prevents a sudden surge of cheats.

Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn’t seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn’t join upon invitation :c

You’re right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would’ve been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think “Eh, I didn’t open my mouth the very first time so it’s no use doing it now”…right?

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I’ve been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD’s scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia’s 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I’m at work and can’t watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you’re at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

I absolutely get where you’re coming from, but to be fair Team Fortress is basically a hero shooter as well, except that there can be multiples of the same “hero” on the battlefield at the same time. Or - and I’m genuinely asking because I haven’t played “hero shooters” in that long - am I missing a core distinction of hero shooters?

Right? I’m sure there are memes like that about humans when they just stupidly stare at an oncoming wormhole expansion shuttle.

Maybe we should acknowledge that neither North Korea nor the USA are without fault and that in some aspects they are similar enough that they would be confused with each other in a blind test.

The main difference for the vast majority here is that public outrage and votes in elections for their respective governments won’t change a thing in North Korea.

If we factor in failure rates, definitely the Valve Index Controllers.

I fucking love them when they work, but this is the second or third time that I had to get one replaced by Valve in the 7 months of having them. Please, Valve, Index users are already paying premium money. We’d like controllers that don’t just stop working properly despite NOT having hit them against walls repeatedly or anything of that sort. It also can’t be super lucrative for you if for every sold pair you create and ship out 5 replacements.

I love Sky and most people there genuinely are so nice. And now on Steam I can finally play it with a decent framerate (the Switch was a big step up from my phone already but that still struggled sometimes)

Incredible! It’s incredible how, for so many content updates, they kept the game fresh and interesting. Andy only a single paid expansion and it’s even only 9€!

I wish Motion Twin all success and can’t wait to see what else they come up with. If I’m not mistaken, they’re currently working on a co-op top-down slasher with cute animals getting absolutely obliterated and everything is super fast, no? I believe that one is already on my wishlist!

Oh Germany, how I love your rules. A protest against the AfD in Hamburg was dismissed by the police because of the announced 10,000 people between 50,000 and 100,000 actually showed up.

Leider nicht geil :c

Ooh it sounds like it has great potential, once the bugs are ironed out!

Reading the entire article, it seems that they still want to tread very carefully with this whole AI ordeal. Valve isn’t just opening the floodgates, as the title would make it seem.

While yes, a healthy dose of skepticism is good to have, I think if I had to trust someone to navigate AI in gaming in the gamers’ favour, I would pick Valve. Or maybe I’m overestimating Gabe’s involvement in the happenings of the legal department’s section that is currently responsible for AI stuff.

EDIT: Shame on me, @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone , I think I had already seen the PMG video about the Steam Marketplace and its lootboxes and the gambling sites. But because I neither play these titles nor participate in the marketplace, I forgot that these serious issues exist. And the documentary concerning actually working at Valve rocked my stance back and forth. On one hand, I love the concept, but there are big problems here as well.

Once more, a genuine thank you for pointing me at these two video documentaries, even if I had already seen one of them.

That’s sad, but at least they made the choice themselves.

I’ll check out Shadow Gambit,though! It sounds really fun!
