I have no idea why xbox and PC games aren't cross platform gameplay for non FPS stuff.

They can even do it for FPS games. I was rocking 56k on my Dreamcast facing broadband PC users nearly 20 years ago in Quake III Arena.

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

Maybe it's something to do with mods? Kind of baffles me too, you'd think it'd be easy to do on a turn based game.

I finally bought the new Deus Ex. Graphics are pretty, but it makes me feel kinda claustrophobic compared to DXHR. Like, I'm not really sure how to navigate obstacles as well in this one.

They totally still have the fake-rear end concept "real gameplay footage" video up as the main video on the Steam store page. It's pretty funny.

I kinda go with the flow with games. I knew it had a chance to suck, and it delivered.

I come from the NES days though, so getting a game sight unseen based on hype only to have it suck is old hat for me.

angels fall first gives me a good 2142 feel, but it is early access and not enough players, like literally zero

this 2142 is having like 600-800 at all times

Like I don't remember it having nearly the following or support of any of the other battlefield games. Seemed like the abandoned stepchild at the time.

It was basically a BF2 mod that they sold for full price. The titan mode was cool, but otherwise, I was bored. I think I played for about 2-3 weeks and went back to BF2.

2142 was a hell of a lot more distinct from BF2 than BF4 was from 3. Off the top of my head, you got mechs, a few nifty futuristic weapons and gadgets like personal drones and Predator camo, hover tanks, APCs that shot pods out the top, and then the big drat Titans. What really crippled 2142 was one of the worst launches DICE has ever had from a technical standpoint. In particular, the Titan mode was practically unplayable for nearly six months after release because 64 players crowding into just two hallways and spamming grenades would cause horrific lag. The only way server owners managed to run the mode was to immobilize the Titans themselves, which takes a lot of the fun out of it.

It's also worth noting just how cool Titan mode is. It's Conquest Plus. You get your normal Battlefield pleasure, but with the added action movie recreation of tight corridor fights and then a high speed escape from an exploding base.

The first time I ever lived through that fight and got the badge for surviving the jump was one of the more memorable moments in gaming for me.

This poo poo doesn't happen nearly enough with lovely game studios. Its only happening in NMS because of how flagrant it is, but a gently caress ton of studios release 'totally real ingame footage' that is carefully manipulated.

Other studios do this, sure, but they're backed by big studios with lots of lawyers; NMS is made by a tiny company. They also made blatantly promises they didn't follow up; and were caught red-handed lying about things they did on-stage; they have the evidence to MAYBE push this forward, and if the eventual prosecutor gets this to stick, it becomes a precedent that can be used to leverage larger companies to stop doing the poo poo they've been doing in the last ten years.

They really need to start marking this stuff as target renders or concept renders in big letters but it obviously won't happen in the US without regulation.
