Thankfully modders have made good progress of coming closer to emulating servers for it so people can play it offline.
Bad part is Ubisoft actually removed The Crew from some people’s Ubisoft account. Steam versions were safe ironically.

Crypto first came for GPUs then AI came for GPUs. And now tariffs are coming after everything. I don’t like these sequels.

Same news all the time.

Wonder if they’ll attempt a Sonic movie type visual make over.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, the first map area is small and kind of lifeless and I think like 3 hours long? Some don’t give a game longer than that, but the entire game took like 300 hours for me to finish so it was very small portion of a very long dense game.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 5 weeks ago:
First few hours can seem slow with the early map not being the most exciting, but if you make it through the huge world opens up and things start getting much more exciting.
When I played I printed out a side quest list to try to experience as much of the game a possible and checked off ones I completed. Side quests are amazing and better than the main quest as opposed to being the usual fetch quest with a weak or no story.
- Comment on Until Dawn's PS5 debut 28% weaker than Sony’s 2024 disaster Concord 5 weeks ago:
Companies can charge $70 for games and people will be it. Doesn’t mean enough people will rush out to buy it to actually be a good price. Too many options now, and not all games have the demand to have people pay whatever.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare Coming to PC October 29 - Rockstar Games 5 weeks ago:
So excited about this. I’ve wished for years to be able to be able to play this game at 60 fps and hire. Months back I revisited this game on my PS3 to check out the multiplayer and the frames were rough.
- Comment on Until Dawn Remake Is Being Criticized For Looking "Way Worse" Than The Original 1 month ago:
I will treasure my PS4 copy. And it’s actually one of the few games where 30 fps isn’t a big deal due to fixed camera angles in the original.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Visual Novels 1 month ago:
I’ve played the Steins;Gate ones and DDLC. I like that it’s relaxing when I don’t feel like doing something super interactive and the branching paths when it comes to story is cool. I picked up Chaos;Head Noah which I haven’t started yet but look forward to getting into the other visual novels in to SciADV series.
Steam Deck has been how I’ve read them, and it’s been great with the suspend feature making it book like in getting into it and out of it convenient.

Hopefully I’ll get to finally play Gears of War 2.
- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 1 month ago:
It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don’t even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.

Even general desktop use is much more fluid like the mouse cursor, scrolling, and moving windows. I immediately notice if a monitor is running at 60 hz.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 1 month ago:
PS5 has been the generation of PS4 remasters/remakes. PS5 might as well be the PS4 Pro Pro and the PS5 Pro the PS4 Pro Pro Pro.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a Russian game by Saber Interactive. Should gamers care if they care about Ukraine? 1 month ago:
State of Fifa and NBA games is depressing. Even the annual release for roster updates wasn’t something I liked, but it being full on freemium casino at annual full price is why I stopped getting sports games years ago. Left too bad a taste to get ripped off like that.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a Russian game by Saber Interactive. Should gamers care if they care about Ukraine? 1 month ago:
I think it’s better to just admit someone doesn’t care and they want to consume than trying to creating some moral loopholes for why it is excusable for a product they really want.
It’s like piracy. Some try so hard to morally justify it. Others just admit I want it for free. In the end we just want to consume. I sure do. I want my product.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a Russian game by Saber Interactive. Should gamers care if they care about Ukraine? 1 month ago:
If someone is conflicted then best is to wait for a steep sale, bundle, or giveaway so it’s a decreased cut. Either way it’s a win win for the wallet and I don’t most people have trouble finding time to finish games and a backlog that keeps growing than having no games to play.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök - PC Launch Trailer 1 month ago:
I hope some mods come out that allows it to be skippable for single player games.

Dead Space scared me so much it made me numb to lot of horror games since.
- Comment on PlayStation 6 Priced At $700 Like PS5 Pro? It’s Looking Likely 1 month ago:
If they do that and Xbox aren’t idiots and take advantage of the high PS6 pricing that could lead to another PS3 early gen fiasco that takes years into the generation to catch up.
- Comment on After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original 2 months ago:
Yeah been keeping eye on it and they’ve been making good progress with some of the story being playable already.
- Comment on After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original 2 months ago:
I want Crew 1 offline more than the others because it has an actual single player campaign.
- Comment on 75% of all PS5 owners prefer Performance Mode according to PlayStation 2 months ago:
Not like console gamers were ever given a choice, but PC gamers kept wanting PC ports for more frames over the 30 fps standard. Graphics were already good during the PS4/360 era and PS5 is still crutching so hard on PS4 games during their PS5 pro showcasing. Now console users wanting the same after finally getting the option over a decade later I think shows they aren’t too different from PC gamers in loving frames.

I considered getting a dualsense before for pcgaming, but the stick issues pushed me away when other alternatives have hall effect sticks and grip buttons without paying the price of the dualsense edge.
- Comment on Heaven 17 claims it turned down GTA 6 soundtrack offer over pay offer: ‘Go f*** yourself’ [VGC] 2 months ago:
Yeah has happened to Alan Wake several times. Now they decided to just remove the song to hopefully not have to be delisted again.
- Comment on Heaven 17 claims it turned down GTA 6 soundtrack offer over pay offer: ‘Go f*** yourself’ [VGC] 2 months ago:
I’m glad Rockstar is taking the route of trying to only get songs that they won’t have to remove down the line. Should be the move forward for all games. Wish same would happen for racing games too. Would rather have knock off brands over delistings.
- Comment on Heaven 17 claims it turned down GTA 6 soundtrack offer over pay offer: ‘Go f*** yourself’ [VGC] 2 months ago:
I’m tired of games getting songs removed, so I am actually glad Rockstar and hopefully others are going the route of trying to only get songs that won’t end up having to be removed down the line. Not cool getting an update getting a song removed.
- Comment on Can you trust Valve? Honest criticism of Steam. 2 months ago:
It’s also that they put out a product I actually find value from like Linux support, Steam Input, forums, workshop, etc. I enjoy using Steam because I find it to be a good experience.
It’s like reasons people prefer Android or Apple even if they share the same apps. Really can’t discount the experience simple things like navigation and social features do to add value.
- Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' 2 months ago:
In a way it like trying to enter the smartphone market and paying for app exclusives then ignoring the part about polishing the OS experience as much as possible and putting out something that is from the flip phone era.
- Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced' 2 months ago:
Epic store not being profitable and despite the backing of Fortnite and Unreal Engine surplas being at the state that it is shows that it is probably much more expensive than expected to make a feature rich launcher. What epic has is more a glorified storefront like humble bundle or Fanatical but worse because it isn’t even selling keys for the platform of your choice, and they have to handle server costs of storing all the games too.
