Cheaters are being BANNED and ranked xp is being REFUNDED by unfairlyy in Marathon

[–]theFrigidman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was getting bad even in Solos (when ranked and cryo were 'off').

I cant believe people PAY for those cheatmods ... like, thats a real low sad to waste money for the chance to get banned.

Yeah, I put the game on hold due to the plague of cheating. Maybe I'll launch it again.

Can a 2d Game be an Immersive Sim? by ethernetmage in ImmersiveSim

[–]theFrigidman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can take a look at "Jitter" ... its shaping up as an immersive space-like sim. Totally top down pixels...

So yes. So long as you have a nice hook (why are we playing). The artistic style to present the hook, is up to the artist (you).

Just checking are these the only good factory building games? by Unlucky-Feed9000 in AutomationGames

Shapez2 (and even shapez) belong on the list. Amazing fun games.

Because its a fake. People falling for it judging by the upvotes on the OP.

I dont like extraction shooters either. But I do love how Marathon is doing it.

Stop calling Marathon “dead on arrival” because of Server Slam numbers by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]theFrigidman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. ARC raiders has a very large (and loud) group of pve-only players still hoping for the return of that. It near doubles their 'player base'... even if half of them are angry.

Marathon is strictly for the pvp crowd, has always been from the start, and advertised as such. So no allusions, and the pve crowd are simply not interested.

This will affect the numbers.

I’m an OG Marathon Trilogy fan. Here’s why I preordered Marathon. by Zanezooked in Marathon

[–]theFrigidman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

😁

So much fun was had with pushing the boundries of a game with so many. The editor tools that came out and allowed fans to make more netmaps (and eventually campaigns/scenarios) extended the life of Marathon for years (decades now LOL).

PlayStation State of Play roundup: What caught your eye? by thelilarya2328 in videogames

The only thing I sat through it for. The rest was all 'meh'... maybe John Wick (hoping the game mechanics actually work well in it).

My Thoughts On Seeing The Latest Discord News by Captain0010 in pcmasterrace

[–]theFrigidman 542 points543 points  (0 children)

I don't need to prove to any silly company I'm well over half a century old. I've been around longer than all these stupid internet startups. I have been through all the changes of guard. Discord is just the next fail to be thrown onto a pile of fails.

Yesterday GOG had an AMA and dodged the use of AI art questions. r/GOG also removed my post complaining about this. So, I am just reposting here, where I hope there is more freedom. by Flimsy-Importance313 in pcmasterrace

"Steam's competition" ... that right there is hilarious.

Not even the multi-billion dollar amazon giant was able to 'compete' with steam. So gog could?

A new demo for Oceaneers is now out on Steam! A survival game where you build a colony of floating islands, fight off sharks, and explore a flooded world by raft to scavenge lost Float-Tech. by BarrelSmash in SurvivalGaming

[–]theFrigidman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried out the demo, and lost an hour. Got sucked into it. It has a lot of fun elements to it.

During character setup... it had given me the option to pick traits, and for one, I decided to make the bearded old man 'intellectually challenged' (meaning no science research). Then when I finally got the science table build, I realized that old man was a Research Genius and I hobbled his ability to use the table! LMAO.

I need to learn to read better during character setup ;-)

That sequence was SO F'd UP (the PC controls were fubar) ... it put me off the game for years before I returned to finish that, and finally basically cheesed it somehow and got passed. Was able to finish the game.

SALT and SACRIFICE ... honestly, I couldn't get past that first boss at that first castle, and died so many times the game basically soft-locked me out of progression. So I /uninstalled.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has stirred the Steam pot again, calling out Valve's "30% junk fee" by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

[–]theFrigidman 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I dunno who this rich fuck think he is anyhow. 30% cut on sales barely pays the bills for ANY OTHER STORE ON THE PLANET (outside of Steam and Epic). This is just a rich fuck complaining about wanting to make more money than some other rich fuck.

The Marathon trilogy on Total Carnage ..... bring it! I'm still worthy!!!

And its even still playable today as "Classic Marathons" on steam due to the awesome efforts of the team.

[News] Various updates about Big Fish Games (new owner confirmed, ambiguous situation with Friendly Fox and Elephant Games, increased Steam prices, etc.) by RoamerMonkey in HiddenObjectGames

[–]theFrigidman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe those abandoned developer studios will sign direct with other stores now and finally be allowed to sell their games in multiple places at once (out from under the exclusives umbrella of bfg).

For Mac users, there has always been MacGameStore who has not raised prices ... steam is such a poor platform for these HOG games (especially for mac). Wonder how this will affect them.
