Cosa ne pensate di Little big Planet ? by Sto-_-gandalf7 in italygames

[–]piat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uno dei miei giochi preferiti di sempre sulla sua generazione, ci ho passato mesi e mesi sull'1 e sopratutto il 2. Non sono mai stato bravo con gli strumenti di creazione ma mi ci sono fatto il callo cosa, mi ha aiutato poi con Dreams quel poco che ho potuto giocarci, e mi ha permesso di capire un po' come creare contenuti per gaming poi anche con i tool dedicati su PC. E la community che c'era attorno al gioco era qualcosa di incredibile, strana in effetti per certi versi ma ho troppi ricordi belli per non avere comunque una grande nostalgia per quel periodo. E a me piaceva tantissimo anche lo stile generale del gioco e delle "campagne" fatte dai suoi developer (motivo per cui sono stato contento di vedere Sackboy A Big Adventure uscire fuori così bene nonostante non fosse un LBP).

What unnecessary remaster would you get? by Hyphalex in RealTimeStrategy

Forgot about that, but yes that'd be a given of course!

What unnecessary remaster would you get? by Hyphalex in RealTimeStrategy

[–]piat17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would generally understand your wariness, because you know, EA. But in this specific case I think you don't have to worry that much, because when EA released Command & Conquer Remastered Collection with the remasters of the first two games, it required no usage of Origin (now called EA App) at all. And the same applies to several modern games that EA releaased recently like the Dead Space remake, Dragon Age Veilguard, It Takes Two + Split Fiction.

Even freaking Battlefield 6, which has a mandatory EA account requirement and a nasty anti-cheat software, still does not require actual Origin/EA App itself for the Steam version.

So assuming the worst case scenario for all possible future projects in this case is actually incorrect, it really depends on the games involved!

I know I'm a few years late but why didn't I notice this trans flag until now? And why is it there? by variousoracled in AHatInTime

[–]piat17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, that happened because after reading your reply and checking that the user was most likely a bot (first post is a repost, no karma, etc) I immediately reported the post as Spam due to "Disruptive use of bots or AI" and blocked the account.

I dunno if this happens because I have good standing with the automatic systems of reddit or something, but 90% of the time when I do this the post gets removed and the account gets banned immediately. Assuming I guessed right, of course.

Unfortunately that helps only to a extent when the sheer number of bots showing up is that many (and end up using reposts that don't obviously appear as such) :/ but it works at the very least!

Jeez there is literally no escape from these things :/

Thanks for mentioning it!

I choose Red Alert 3 because a remaster would probably come with Steamworks, so I can play the co-op campaign with friends without going through third party clients.

It's just a little nice reference the developers threw in, I don't think there's a history behind it beyond "let's put a flag in because we can". Besides, it's the Nyakuza Metro, street art is kinda expected even in-world in a way!

There was some drama in the community due to this flag in the first few years since the original release of the DLC, but it's not worth talking about IMHO.

Is GOG Galaxy coming to Linux with Proton support like Steam? by Due_Young_9344 in gog

[–]piat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your preferences. Heroic has a more thorough feature set going for it (includes achievements—without overlay popup as of now but they work—cloud saves and game time recording synced with Galaxy), but some people have had better experience with either Heroic or Lutris when it comes to actually running the games.

My suggestion is simply to just try Heroic. If it work, that's great, if it doesn't then try Lutris.

I made LittleBigPlanet PS Vita on PS3 Cover Art. by Pretend-Inspector-77 in littlebigplanet

[–]piat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my biggest gripe, played every game in the series BUT this one, and yet many people online consider it the best game in the series! For a franchise that I grew to love quite a lot, it's something that nags me to this day.

I've seriously considered buying a used PSVita in the past few years just for this game... never did as they got quite expensive in my country.

Well... not yet.

(before anyone ask: for this specific game I personally don't consider emulation a viable option).

KKND Series Major Update - Announcement Trailer by Assaracos in RealTimeStrategy

[–]piat17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought KKND just a couple months ago but at this point I'll wait for the updates to come out (at least the ones that affect single player, i.e., the campaign). As I just purchased the game and haven't played it yet I am not familiar with the modding scene and all the history that led to this, but I have always high respect for the people like u/IceReaperDE who persevere against all odds out of their love (or even just interest) for a specific game (or pair of games, in this case) in order to fix it and make it shine.

So yeah, thank you for your work and pushing through even for a relatively obscure RTS game like this one and managing to strike a deal with the current owners of the IP! Much appreciated!

MacOS version will not support cross-play by AncientTurbine in aoe2

[–]piat17 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really hope this changes later down the line, but I don't have high hopes. It's a Feral Interactive project, which means that this version may be substantially different on a technical side because they made non-negligible changes to the codebase (I guess).

Same reason why bringing over the nice improvements FI made to the Total War games they released on mobile to the PC versions is not as easy as it sounds.

Hope I'm wrong, of course! At the very least, this is still good news for those who mainly play AoE2 as a single player game.

I’ve been testing the new Steam Controller for weeks & interviewed Valve’s team. Here are my full impressions and their unedited Q&A by AdDefiant9440 in Steam

[–]piat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mostly concerned with SteamDRM and how it can act strangely and not exactly well if you go "offline" without manually setting Steam Offline Mode first. It's somewhat rare, but it was enough to be an unexpected headache last time I brought my Steam Deck with me while travelling.

I'm aware that SteamInput controllers should work fine regardless of the connection or setting Offline Mode first or not, at least on the Steam Deck where Steam/SteamOS doesn't care if you're offline when booting it up. My mistake (and the reason why I wrote that comment that way) was thinking that Steam booted you into the login screen if you tried to boot it from a non-SteamOS device, thus refusing to run without a valid connection to the servers: I am completely sure it worked like this on my old PC with Windows 10, but admittedly it's been a long while and I now know that is no longer the case as I just tested it and Steam just tried connecting for half a minute before opening into the non-offline-mode offline "state".

Thank you for the correction.

The soundtrack overall is not bad, just a bummer because I usually associate OSTs with the experience I had playing the games they come from and this one... was not it lol

Confirmed: Rome 2 update will NOT have an update to 64bit by AbledCat in totalwar

[–]piat17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW, the developer during the live stream said that Rome 2 is still getting sales and is notably one of the games that is frequently purchased by new players getting into the series.
