Hey, anyone know how to get RealPlayer working on my Windows Vista PC?
I have some .rmvb files I just put on a jaz disk and it's hard enough trying to ignore Bonzi Buddy popping up all the time when I try to open them with Winamp.

Should I try downloading the software with Limewire or Kazaa?

I think Torchlight doesn't allow for respecs (I think people modded this in?), which super turned me off. Diablo 3 had an incredible respec-at-any-time-for-free system which allowed for experimentation. I hate permanently going down one path and then learning it sucks after hours of play.

Nice! I meant to try this back when my GamePass subscription was still active, but didn't have the time.
I got it from GameFly for like $20 a while back and I was waaaaaaay disappointed, so free might be the best price. I found it extremely boring and uninspired. I got annoyed that after every 5-minute firefight I spent the next 10-15 minutes scouring the base for hidden boxes of money that weren't easy to spot. Really needed some kind of radar feature to just ID all the chests immediately.

Yeah, looks like it. Sweet. The one annoying thing about these AAA free games from Epic (first world problems!) is that they often don't include the DLC, so it's really refreshing to have the full thing sometimes.
I still have not spent a single penny on their store and I think I have like 150 games, lol.

I bounced hard off of Kiwami after finishing zero, but going back a year later I found I absolutely ate it up and devoured Kiwami 2 immediately afterward.

It shows its age more than anything, but 3 is a phenomenal Kiryu story, I say go there if you don't want to give Kiwami another shot.
Yeah, also to add, I was able to go from 0->1->2->3 over the course of a few years, but then I hit 4 and kinda got a bit Yakuza-ed out because that changes to multiple protagonists and the pacing couldn't really keep me.
I try to go for 100% side missions besides maybe the gambling stuff, so trying to finish the first guy's story completely before having to jump to the next just tired me out.

You feel that exhaustion a bit because you're mostly running through the same city district in every game (yes, they do add some other areas from game to game). Going from the remake of 2 to the port of 3 is also really rough since it's going from a polished late-PS4 game to an early-PS3 game essentially.

It's a great game, but I do miss the themed restaurant career mode of CSD2. CSD3 just has a bazillion generic nodes on a map with different menu restrictions that you have to fill manually. I'm just not that creative to say "okay, today is Mexican food" and fill it specifically with that when I can just add a bunch of easy sliced meats.

I'm a huge Fanatical bundle enthusiast (thanks, Steam Deck!) and even I'm not tempted by the mystery bundles knowing the dregs they must have in their key inventory.
That being said, I do enjoy when they toss on a free key when I buy a bundle over $10 or whatever.

LOL talking about free games, I bought Advent Rising at launch and when they cancelled the contest, I managed to redeem their consolation prizes of a couple free XBox games.
Wouldn't have won the million anyway, so not a bad deal.

EDIT: ah, found a news story about that:

For those who did try the contest and want something for their efforts, Majesco is offering a choice of 2 free games for those who send in their game's UPC and a copy of the user's Xbox Live Gamertag. The games you can choose from are BloodRayne 2, Guilty Gear X2 Reload, Psychonauts, Raze's Hell, and Phantom Dust.

AC Unity was the first AC game of that console generation, and suffered from a lot of bugs and technical issues, the most infamous of which being a bug where a character's face would disappear.


When Unity launched, they also released Rogue for 360/PS3 using the older engine and I preferred it a lot more. Unity’s controls felt so floaty/laggy. I will say they aimed for the moon in terms of NPC crowd sizes, but they also popped in randomly too. I wasn’t too engaged with the story either.

I consider Outer Wilds (and the DLC) to be the best game ever made. Take notes, follow the ship’s built in log to see where you might be missing information, and if you’re stumped at one location, stop bashing your head against it and try going somewhere else on the next loop.

It’s such an incredibly well put together game and the narrative could be life-changing for some players. The DLC’s story is really emotional to me.

There were moments where I would miss jumps or whatever, but there’s one mechanic that means you don’t need to waste “10-15 mins” to get back. Since the experience is mostly discovering stuff on your own, I’ll spoil tag it:

Waiting at a campfire can speed up time if you need something to happen at minute 15, for instance. Combine that with being able to “meditate” to die, it can take only several minutes to get back after a loop. Everything in the system is really quick to get back to from the starting planet anyway. You also learn about secret entrances and exits that can save time when you return to certain areas.
