Ah yes, the Bandai Namco EU website. The only site to have ever been so frustrating to deal with that I've given up trying to claim games through it.

They can keep it. The Dark Pictures games seems like they had a huge quality dropoff from Until Dawn.

Considering HZD is, to my knowledge, the only Sony game on GOG, I'd say they gave it a shot and it didn't pan out.

No they can't. We all found out during the Quest 2 era that their elite straps are fragile and prone to snapping. 100% of the advice in the community is to buy third-party.

I imagine this is a mix of things. UE5 has officially been out for a while, their biggest competitor just offed themselves, Fortnite's UE editor support is out and thus Fortnite probably doesn't need as many devs now with UGC to pick up the slack, etc.

That's still a huge chunk of people though. Wonder if all these financial gambles they've taken are starting to add up.

Just update a current game and put a 2 on it?

It was a "ground-up" rebuild on Source 2, so while it carries forward all the CSGO content and aims to "play the same" in terms of movement and gunplay (with the exception of improvements like subtick actions), I'd say it's way more of an actual "2." New engine with all kinds of fancy lighting and other improvements, new assets (including weapon and character models, some of which were still originally in the 2013 CSGO launch), remakes and retouches of maps, vastly improved map-making tools, some nifty accessibility features (your walking sounds appearing on the radar) and quality of life features (selling back misbought items, or the picture-in-picture grenade throw practice camera), and some huge balance changes (games are now shorter, players now need to more strategically choose their weapons, smoke grenades are voxel-based and can be cleared out with gunfire and grenades, skyboxes are now open for grenade tosses, etc.)

It looks the same but with some lighting changes on the surface, but it's actually huge.

Because after a $3.49 payment, I never see ads again and this app is noticeably better than the Lemmy apps I've been stuck with until now.

Not allowing to ship out paid orders is not forgivable no matter the situation imo.

Not to mention accessibility settings in games themselves. Fortnite has an option to visually show sounds and their directions on the HUD and it was amazing when I spent a month with no audio solution, I can't imagine what a breath of fresh air it is for deaf gamers. The Last of Us Pt2 is also wildly player-friendly, and recently I've even been seeing some indie titles like Metal Unit do their best to assist players and let them enjoy the game.

Accessibility is only getting better, and I think this cynicism is unwarranted. We should certainly keep up the fight and demand for it, but you go back two decades and games didn't even come with subtitles as standard. Doom 3 still pisses me off in that regard.

I believe the originals are restored now

Nope. They temporarily made it so that buying Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Launcher granted the originals until outrage died down, but the original versions of the games still require either a disc or piracy now that they seemingly removed even that. I can confirm that the PS4 versions of the games that were the PS2 versions in an emulator are still missing, too.

Because Chrome just stopped working on my PC one day like a decade ago.

Damn, guess I'll finally need to upgrade.

Why? Guardians of the Galaxy is what they were working on. This game is why Shadow of the Tomb Raider was mid.
