The UI is why I couldn’t finish it. My gaming PC is hooked up to my TV and even with a 70" screen I couldn’t read hardly any of the maps or menus. I even dusted of a pair of readers but still struggled. It’s a beautiful game and looks incredible but after a few hours of that I just got tired of squinting and moved on.

Maybe someday I’ll come back to it and try to find a mod or something but it’s just not worth giving myself a headache when there are so many great games out there.

I tried it a while back and struggled to get into it. I wondered since if it was just not the right time though bc it looks so much like my kind of game. Might be worth dusting it off again to give it another go.

I like to mix things up, so I’m replaying Wolfenstein New Colossus on death incarnate difficulty, and sprinkling in Steve’s Warehouse, Balatro and Hades for shorter sessions.

I’m waiting for a good sale to pick up Indiana Jones and will probably get Borderlands 4 sometime soon so hubs and I can play it together. I’m also considering a new playthrough of Cult of the Lamb now that the expansion has been announced.

If you like video game history you might enjoy this video from Vox. Quake’s custom keyboard mapping settings (unique for the time) was a big development in gaming. One gamer’s personal settings config became popular and ultimately established the WASD control scheme that has been basically the standard since.

I played the hell out of the shareware version, and begged my dad to get the full game , at which point I blazed through all the difficulties. It was the first game that I eventually 100%ed. I was psyched to get it and be able to play it on steam and was surprised how much I remembered.

Mostly for nostalgic reasons, it’s one of my favorite games of all time.

Agreed. It’s a great game. I wish it had more variability in puzzles or solutions to give it more replay value. I got it right when it came out and still feel like it’s too fresh in memory to go through it again.

Wow this does make me feel old. Even if it was staged it was a great time for the internet.

With everything Nintendo is putting those guys through, I’m glad to see they are still putting work into Palworld. I kind of want to get it just to show support.

Here’s a few ideas of games that I think will work on your system. Putting in some variety since it looks like you play different game styles.

FPS- Wolfenstein New Colossus, Old Blood and New Order (Skip Youngblood)

Stealth -Dishonored 2, Styx Master of Shadows

Dungeon crawler/roguelike - Cult of the Lamb

Rpg/Turn based combat - South Park stick of truth

I know fortnite is a behemoth in gaming and makes about 10 billion gazillion dollars, but it seems like they are putting all their eggs in that basket without any plans for afterward. Every game falls out of style, and fortnite will too eventually. Maybe they’re thinking about this internally but it just seems like they are putting themselves in a corner if they don’t adequately support UE for non-fortnite use cases.

It seems like they are building to appease the AI farms now.

Yes, and even with Valve doing some great things for gaming, it’s important to note that we all will benefit from Valve having meaningful competition from Epic and GOG. If gamers spread their money around, service providers will do more to earn it.
