you still have to worry about memory and graphics cards and .ini files and whatever

that's why i only play indie games on PC (if we're counting Obsidian's new games as indie, anyway, which i am)

i mean if you wanna go crazy with modding ini files are a thing i guess but that shouldn't be a concern unless you're trying to play something old or with a crappy port

well, i mean, you still go into your .ini at least once to skip the intro logos--though i guess these days it's more renaming some .bk2s so the game can't access them properly.

i mean again this depends entirely on whether the port sucks or not

there are concerns when playing stuff on pc but they pretty much all come down to whether anyone responsible for the port is available to give two shits to fix them. i have these kinds of issues all the time with games from like pre-2009 but more recent games largely work fine

I heard one report saying it's a joke but I'm still kinda confused as to whether it is or not. Pretty funny though (it apparently doesn't affect combat difficulty, just the way that NPCs treat you and how much money you earn in-game)

It sounds like a clever bit of commentary so I assume Ubisoft fought against it tooth and nail.

if you want to know whether a game will be a pain in the rear end to get working, check if it has mixed ratings on steam because that's one of the few things that will make people give a game mass negative ratings

that and being no man's sky or introducing the creation club

Not everyone owns a Gaming PC. We have a 4 year old laptop that does everything I need it to do except run games that I can buy on PS4 anyway so :shrug:

I beat risky boots mode in 87 minutes...got metroid vanias on the brain. I need Samus Returns now, and I hope it has sequence breaking!!! My biggest concern is that Zero Mission made Metroid 1 so amazing because they included a crap ton of alternate routes with the explicit intent of allowing for speedruns and low% runs. But Metroid 2 has that inherent "Kill X Metroids to lower the Lava" design and if they stay beholden to that idea with no alternates it could be kinda lame to replay. Fingers crossed...
