Runa posted:I literally hadn't heard of the Gollum game until it came out so I don't know if there was much marketing behind it  thought "ah an elaborate shipost about the state of the aaa industry and pre-order incentives, they even went and pulled up the steam pre-order function that nobody has used in years nice effort" and then i saw there was an actual steam storepage. otherwise no i didn't hear a word of the game existing

They should make an actual open world walking simulator LOTR game. Actually I'm surprised they haven't made a multiplayer survival game or something out of it. Scrounge for potatoes and stealth around ringwraiths or whatever.

I would unironically be there for Dwarf Stranding. Reconnecting the dwarf holds and the cities of men after the War of the Ring, trying to navigate across a beautiful but occasionally hostile terrain while avoiding where orcs and wraiths still linger.

I don't know if this was posted here but I figure it's worth mentioning - the guy who made Elona is making a commercial sequel in isometric 3D, there currently is a kickstarter with another 5 days to go: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noacat/elin/description It's already well more than funded but still will probably be great. Elona is a mix of a traditional roguelike and an open-world lifesim with anime stylings (the creator is Japanese so somewhat excusable) and also a game I and many other goons spent hundreds of hours on. I know it's a kickstarter and all that, but I've only ever backed Shadowrun and Times of Numenora so I have a decent track record so far. e: The game is confirmed to have Steam Deck support, though probably still better to play with a M&KB: https://twitter.com/elocat/status/1652672372091277316 Private Speech fucked around with this message at 22:29 on May 26, 2023 |

Return to Moria looks good but there has been absolutely no information for long time and I don't think I've seen any gameplay footage. So who knows, is it gonna be released and even if it is, will it immediately fall into apology letter category.

Gladius is pretty fun! Normally the combat-y parts of Civ games I tend to just tolerate, but it feels like this does it really well. After a few dozen turns as the Space Marines, I can see how the Imperial Guard play differently - the Guardsmen are dogshit by themselves, so you have to hang close to your city and be extremely defensive until you can get your factory up and start churning out a critical mass of units to push outwards. It may've been more a matter of me starting out sandwiched between a herd of native bugs and some techpriest rear end in a top hat with his Iron Giant, but it was pretty dramatic for a while as my first Guardsmen got shredded in a layered retreat while waiting for the scout walkers and more divisions to come out. Experience seems to be a big deal for the IG - the early units that survived bounced back into some real fuckers at levels 2 and 3. Fun stuff! I'm going to grab a few of the DLC to diversify the cast a bit. Sorry folks, Orks are boring. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 01:11 on May 27, 2023 |

repiv posted:there's strong precedent for emulators being legal but nintendo are alleging that dolphin includes decryption keys dumped from the wii, rather than making the user provide them, which if true then yeah dolphin probably should have seen this coming I assume the DMCA was on the grounds of circumventing access-controls, but of course Dolphin doesn't operate on the console itself, it's just an emulator for already-dumped discs. This puts the argument firmly into DeCSS "illegal number" territory. A potential solution might be to have the user provide their own keys.bin, but I don't know if there's also an argument that simply providing the mechanism--if not the keys--also runs afoul. I'm also not sure if keys.bin are "really" needed for RVZ-format disc images since those already store data decompressed and generate hashes on the fly, if needed, but Dolphin shouldn't need them, though I don't know if they're currently generated during emulation or not. Another potential solution would be for the VGHF to push for a real exemption on individual circumvention of access controls for obsolete video game consoles, something which the Librarian of Congress has been unwilling to do before in part due to ESA lobbying, but also in part because it wasn't a "real" problem.

I could see an open world LOTR game where you can Dark Souls style invade other games as Gollum and gently caress with the people playing, it's the only time I could see people wanting to be him.

Rad Codex, the developer of some of the best Tactical RPGs on Steam, announced a new game, Kingsvein. They also pushed an update on Horizon's Gate which is also nuts to me since that game is years old now.

deep dish peat moss posted:For real it's incredibly easy to set up and play everyone with even a passing interest in CoH should do it Holy poo poo when did this launch?  I'd heard in passing years ago that the rights were tied up due to NCSoft just sitting on the IP after CoH was dead. When did they manage to solve all that? I'm really out of the loop, but drat that's amazing! CoH was one of my favorite nostalgic MMOs from back in the day. Looking forward to giving it a try this weekend!

The story is incredibly weird, I am sure I have some details wrong but IIRC when it officially shut down in 2012(?) someone leaked the official server source code to one of their friends who immediately began running an invite-only server that they took great pains to hide from the public (including a bunch of reddit mod astroturfing and public statements of denial) that only invited people who were big names in the official CoH community. That server ran for... seven? years before its existence was finally leaked to the public, and in the ensuing public backlash and dramabomb that server opened itself up to the public and I guess released the server software to others or something. I think that server is now known as CoH: Rebirth. Homecoming is a more recent server launched in 2019 that has active development of the game going on, such as a new AT, new power sets, new task forces, new story arcs, etc. I don't know anything about its history other than it's allegedly run by a registered 401c nonprofit who has NCSoft's blessing. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 27, 2023 |

Play base Snowrunner first, see if the already VERY generous content in it burns you out. If it doesn't, each season pass is gonna be more maps, more parts, more trucks, and just More Game. Purchase as needed. Treat them all as bigass expansion packs.
