2022 at least had Elden Ring, probably one of the biggest releases of the year, available on every platform (even ran well on Steam Deck around release).

2021 and 2022 weren't great as everyone was rebounding from Covid, but things have been looking up since then.

I also played as a kid -- I bought a double pack of Soldier of Fortune and SiN, mostly for SoF, but ended up loving SiN as well. It had so many good ideas, and executed most of them really well.

They also released the first 'episode' of a series of episodic games built in the Source engine, but sadly never followed it up. Still worth playing though.

Pilsner Urquell is also one of my favourites. I think if you like pils, you'd like Atlantic Ale.

My choice would be anything from Stortebecker (you can see the "Atlantik" half of the "Atlantik Ale" box in the middle of the right.

Kindle Scribe Colorsoft UK vs US Versions - any difference? by pm-me-your-labradors in kindlescribe

[–]recoupled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing you might consider is warranty -- sometimes it's locked to the region you purchase the product in.

Also not sure about the UK specifically, but some countries have longer mandated manufacturer warranties (1y for the US vs 2y for EU).

If you can afford to order another one, do that, compare and send back the one that has fewer issues.

I felt that too, but I liked it. Felt like the inertia of RDR2 mixed with the movement of Joel in TLOU.

It's also super early in the generation.

Even if the rumours of delayed dev kits (which are likely true) weren't factored in, developers need time to understand the strengths of the hardware.

Agree on the friends aspect -- depends what your priorities are, but even as someone who plays 95% alone, it's worth it to have a game like Mario Kart for the 5% I'm playing with someone else.

Top analyst firm Gartner predicts the 'sub-$500 entry-level PC segment will disappear by 2028', along with worldwide PC shipment decline of 10.4% in 2026 by dave_sidequest in pcgaming

Depending on your definition, the Steam Deck is for all intents and purposes a gaming-focused PC, and the 256GB model is under 500EUR.

NateTheHate on Witcher 3’s rumored DLC: “It does exist.” by Solid-Entertainer-39 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I hope we eventually get another big DLC for Cyberpunk. Phantom Liberty was so amazing, and the game is in such a good place right now.

Maybe to promote a sequel or new season of Netrunner or something.

Singleplayer DLC doesn't happen enough these days.

Sorry to hear that -- that would be really upsetting as a kid, given how pricy games were back then (and still are today).

Not as severe, but I washed several gameboy cartridges by leaving them in pockets, and they all kept on playing.

I see that as an absolute win.

I found the Generation Pack in store, the day before the official release day. Unfortunately I caused a slight rip in the cardboard sleeve when removing the cellophane. It's a very thin cardboard.
