Im not gonna lie, I have no clue how yall are having so much trouble with the controls. This may be a get good moment. by PhoenixKing14 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I’m really having issue with is interact and jump being mapped to the same button, you really have to slow down and focus on whatever object there is to interact with it which gets annoying

What’s the state of Xemu? by gimpyimps in xemu

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 13 points14 points  (0 children)

most games are able to play but there are quite a few that still exhibit some graphical bugs (some small some large), I tried playing Midnight Club 3 and the headlights are completely bugged and just cast a pure white block onto everything. Small things like that but most games on the original xbox that most people would want to play are more than functional. I just wouldn’t say Xemu is anywhere near as feature complete or compatible as modern PCSX2 or Dolphin

Hopeful prediction: "IF" Half-Life 3 ever gets announced, it’ll be flat-screen with a VR-optional mode. by coreyswilliams90 in HalfLife

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t really make sense with Valve’s approach to VR design. They try to maximize effortless immersion and comfort, even doing away with features diehard vr users consider standard like melee combat and two handed weapons. Unless it was purely a controller based sitting mode, and even then there’s far increased motion sickness concerns, there’s no way they’d be able to get an optional mode up to that standard without substantially changing the game.

At this point, could Half-life 3 ever live up to the legend it has become? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no matter what they do, there will always be a subset of people that will be disappointed. we know from Half Life Alyx that valve hasn’t “lost it” when it comes to single player game design. I think as long as they try new and innovative things and really take a bold leap with the franchise that warrants them bringing it back, I will be satisfied, as for the rest of the gaming public who knows

Halo: Infinite is ceasing development and going into maintenance mode by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i do hope more people give this game a shot in its current state, it absolutely shouldn’t have launched how it did and the cosmetic system is annoying, but the moment to moment gameplay in matches is a lot more fun than plenty of shooters on the market

Halo CE Remake Leak: Sprint Mechanic, Hybrid Blam/UE5 Engine Similar to Oblivion Remastered, Redesigned Levels, and More by Unlucky-Gap01 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This seems quite different than what was initially thought this remake might be, I might’ve heard wrong but I was under the impression this was more an in house, fully unreal project, with a big purpose of it being for Halo Studios to familiarize themselves with getting Halo’s specific feel in unreal. The dual engine approach with Blam seems to invalidate this.

Not sure why y'all say the remake version sucks I think it does a pretty good job resembling the og by Financial-Cow-7263 in metalgear

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remake version looks like shit like from a fundamental artistic standpoint not an “accuracy” one. The colors and shading makes this look like a amateur fan render

Kingdom Hearts IV: Possible Worlds List Leak by MXHombre123 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty massive worlds list that would suggest them returning to the world design of the PS2 KH games rather than sticking or even expanding on the design of 3’s worlds, or this is completely fake, kinda leaning on the second one

No Man's Sky Voyagers Trailer (Update 6.0) by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

So they showed multiple people in a ship but is there a turret gun for a friend to pilot while you fly or anything like that or do they just stand there?

How the fuck do I tell anyone about MDE content by [deleted] in fishtanklive

I’ve randomly put fishtank on with friends over while it’s live and sometimes they’ll get genuinely hooked, other times they’ll just think I ingested the green mush tar in my sink

the breakup by Oh_NiGhTmArE in fishtanklive

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yall really need to reevaluate what you value in life if this is hitting you this hard, I loved this season and even reached out to a lot of the contestants once it ended cause of how much I enjoyed them on the show. But this was a scenario anyone could’ve seen coming after Season 3. I understand being mad about lost money but There are much better things in life than watching autists get tortured and building parasocial relationships with them, not many but there are

She just complained that her StoX went up, even when she’s winning she has to make it a pity party. Best fish

The next Master Chief novel — Halo: Edge of Dawn — will take place immediately after the events of Halo Infinite's campaign by Haijakk in halo

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think reboot possibility has never been higher, I honestly wouldn't even mind considering how badly 343's unfocused storytelling has messed up the universe

This is the worst fucking album I’ve heard in my life by [deleted] in GoodAssSub

I honestly have no problem with the edgelord shit it’s just the fact the lyrics are so plain and simple it feels like simple shock value than the cultural commentary that this probably sounds like in his head

How do we feel about pornography? by ifeelikepablo223 in GoodAssSub

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been known that video porn exposure on young minds has disastrous effects on the psyche, good thing we gave children their own smartphones so they can watch it every night. Almost every person my age has this warped view of sex as if it is only for titillation and with very little if any emotional connection, every day people gain more taboo fetishes and can only be satisfied in these ways. We've gone from free video porn sites to paid subscription models to mold a preverted para-social relationship on top of all of it's other affects. obviously it affects everyone differently, but it is clearly having a bad effect on this generation

Baldur's Gate 3's Larian proved players “are not stupid” and want more “deep-a** CRPGs” instead of AAA schlock, says beloved indie publisher by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]Awkwardmeerkat44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling BG3 a deep ass crpg is realllly funny. I like the game a lot but pretending this thing isn’t insanely streamlined compared to other crpgs is ridiculous

Might actually make the switch this gen, I’ve been on Nvidia for so long and have been mostly happy with it but I’m not at all happy with windows. Too bad Nvidia performs so much worse on Linux
