We could spend all day and night listing successful SP games, I bet they canceled it because the game was just bad.

- Comment on Marvel Rivals Hit 10 Million Players In Its First 72 Hours 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing it since their public release and honestly, it feels worse than Overwatch, the animations are floaty, attacks look and sound weightless, it’s the exact opposite to God of War for example. To give you an idea, it feels like a 90’s MMO in that regard.
That said, it’s a hell of a fun ride. There’s a great amount of content, the mechanics are awesome, each character is a game on it’s own, it has some of my favorite characters from the Marvel universe and some I didn’t know about. Truly enjoyable, and the success it has been received with is well worth it. I hope they become sustainable, this game needs more polish but it has so much potential.

I tried it, it’s fairly decent. Although imho, they went with quantity over quality.

If it’s that, then all good. I’m just traumatized by what publishers have been putting out lately.

- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.10.0 out now bringing UI updates, fancier shaders, renaming work 5 weeks ago:
This is a real deal-breaker. I just wish there was a Minecraft clone for PC with mods and controller support and split screen.
I know there are ways to do this, but it’s not something my kid will be able to deal with.

Unlock cosmetics, weapons and campaign modifiers to create loadouts specific to the needs of the mission.
Hard pass for me.

- Comment on Is overwatch 2 really that bad? 3 months ago:
I play Overwatch since OW1’s launch. It’s competitive/ranked play mode is incomparable to say… CounterStrike 2’s level of polish for example. That said, it’s crazy fun in Quick Play (unranked), and if you are looking for a hero shooter where the whole hero is entirely different from others, then it’s the best free to play hero shooter since all microtransactions available are only cosmetics. No pay to win mechanic available whatsoever.
The bad press is because between OW1 and OW2 they completly trashed the competitive scene, while also overpromising and not delivering at all, a PVE campaign mode. After that, they moved to a semi-pay-to-win model where there where timed exclusive heroes behind a battle pass, after that you could unlock them by grinding, but that model has evolved into a cosmetic-only model. So, no more semi-pay-to-win, only cosmetics.
So, right now, OW2 is closer to OW1’s greatness than it has ever been since they trashed it. Not there yet in terms of balance, polish, competitive mode, but it has grown in the amount of modes, heros and maps.
For me, for what I value, OW2 is the best hero shooter. We’ll see when I get a hold of Marvel Rivals.

- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 3 months ago:
So much THIS. Yes, absolutely. Thanks for reminding me I broke a gazillion PCs as a kid.
- Comment on Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux 3 months ago:
The challenge I face in my family is that my kids want to play what other kids play, and that means Fortnite and FIFA primarily, both of which can’t run under Proton and their respective publishers are to blame for intentionally not supporting the platform because it doesn’t make business sense to them (cost of support vs. quantity of users).
I will hold the door as long as I can, but if this doesn’t change, my kids will eventually ask me for a Switch or a PS5.
