Fuligin posted:ds3 has some v attractive areas (irithyll! Dragon monastery place!) but the palette is so muted and dull a lot of the time Which is sensible, given the ash-and-dust, "heat-death of the universe" motif, but I agree. DS2 pops.

Quake 1 definitely had co-op in some form, but I can't remember if it was the whole single player set of missions or a special selection. EDIT: Yep, all of Quake 1 is playable in co-op, Quake 2 too.

Frankly I think all of them are candidates for "least necessary DLC" on any game I've played in the last five years. The three missions are fine, but not at all necessary. The planes are all "these are just more planes" and most of them look pretty stupid to boot

I'd say no. I have one and it's heavier, which is good, because like the gun in Snatch when it breaks which it apparently prone to doing you can just hit someone with it.

The answer then and now is "poorly compressed audio and cutscenes." Especially in early CD games. TIE Fighter was 5 floppy disks with midi music. The CD version's game content was exactly the same size, but it had all the actual Star Wars music and a TON of recorded voice lines filling the rest of the CD's space. Some CDs were nice because you could put them into CD players and listen to the games soundtrack. Grim Fandango and Tropico were stellar.

GhostDog posted:I thought Oxygen in Subnautica was an enjoyable and meaningful progression, but food and water I disabled immediately. Yeah just to pile on, the food and water is just pointless busywork that really feels like it's there to arbitrarily stress you during the early game. Disable it, oxygen management is enough.

I don't like them at all but knowing that the big limbless orb or large cute creature or whatever they replace it with is actually an invisible, monstrous, secret spider wearing something else's skin is worse. It's why the fuckin mimics in Prey suck so much.

Ahhh, the perfect UI change for an old man - barely one. EDIT wait oh poo poo, they officially added overlay pinning: quote:We've also added the ability to pin windows from the overlay, so that they can appear on top of the game while in-game. Opacity level is adjustable, and only the contents of the window will be pinned - excluding the title bar and other extraneous UI. This new functionality is available for Notes, Guides, Discussions, and the web browser (yes, you can watch movies while you play games if you really want to). Nice.

I know they did a big QOL patch that added some new buildings and stuff very recently, but I loved it even in its early form so may want to read into the changes for anything specific you didn't like. Haven't seen a bug myself, though.

Power Wash Simulator is pretty good, but IMO it only becomes transcendent with gyro controls. I'll sit in my office chair with the Steam Deck and just gently rotate back and forth, sweeping it around like an actual washer wand. It's really pleasant.
