• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Store's Unreal Tournament page now has free download links to Unreal, Unreal 2, and Unreal Tournament '99⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The links all go to the OldUnreal site, so I guess Epic has just left it up to the community to keep their legacy alive. Not necessarily a bad thing, but hopefully they send some of their Fortnite fortunes over to the maintainers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when I was actively playing Overwatch (this is now years ago) people were basically using the voice and text chat to be toxic shitheads to each other. At one point I decided that I didn’t need strangers telling me to kill myself in my life, so I ditched the game and generally just play single player games now.

  Not sure how others have experienced it, but the community feeling of the past that the author is alluding to is gone. If it ever was there to begin with.

  Judging by that screenshot alone I can tell this is too scary for me 🥲

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨75% of all PS5 owners prefer Performance Mode according to PlayStation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve selected “performance” in the PS5 settings, but I’ve experienced several AAA games ignoring it and having their own graphics setting that defaults to “fancy graphics” mode.

  3/4 of players want performance, but publishers don’t care.

  Great article! Ubisoft seem to be really good at making worlds that are immense and magnificent and yet utterly boring to be in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age: The Veilguard sees BioWare refocus on companions⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a fan of Dragon Age since Origins and this game looks like another step towards the kind of simplified gameplay that every game has made. It’s disappointing that the series has gone from an RPG to a generic 3rd person action adventure game, but given the gradual evolution of the other games it’s not really surprising.

  kind of game Bioware has forgotten how to make.

  Such a nice way to sum it up. You would think that the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 would show publishers that there is a (large) market for actual RPGs, but that’s maybe too much to hope for.

  I know that the world has changed and these kinds of big conferences aren’t really viable (or necessary) anymore, but my younger self who always wished to go to E3 at some point is sad.
