It’s the only platform I have to play it on, and switch doesn’t support the new space age expansion.
It did get many of the 2.0 updates, like the extended belt reader, free circuit wires, and all inserters are filters.
As far as acceptable, I love it. I’m sure I can’t build the crazy 10k science per minute monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube, but I’ve never really run into an lag issues with the bases I’ve built.
When I bought the switch I called it my $500 zelda machine.
I also have factorio now.
If a new mario, zelda, or factorio is available on switch 2, I’ll buy one.
Honestly? I’m lazy. I play on my PS4, and have it all done up for that, the cables, pre amp, audio D-A for the sound bar / headphones, etc. Its what I know, and it works.
Haven’t owned my own PC in like 20 years (I’m a programmer and work always just gives me a beautiful laptop).
I recently bought a gaming PC that was top of the line 5 years ago, and am slowly turning that into a linux gaming PC. It’s going to be a while before I can actually use it, and in the mean time the PS4 still works when I get home and just want a whiskey and jam night.
I’ve spent well over $2k on guitars, accessories, DLC, etc, for Rocksmith 2014. For five years I’ve been using it to learn bass guitar, and absolutely love it.
One day Ubi is going to turn off the servers, and I am simply going to cry.
There is no alternative I’m aware of, the new version is AI garbage from what I’ve heard, and I enjoy the thing I have and the songs I’ve paid for.
If they are not going to provide an offline mode, or the server code, then I will 100% make it my mission to pirate the game and make it playable offline.
That’s my argument, release the server code and the fans can host them.
Take your servers down, move on to your new games, but give us the tools to enjoy what we bought. It costs them nothing.
I don’t think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.
With the new belt reading mechanics, I’m trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.
Android doesnt, my S8 can no longer be updated and many apps are beginning to no be supported. I love this phone, all the new ones are way too big.
Love my S8, though there are apps I can’t run anymore because of how old the OS is.
Still, I’m keeping it till it dies.
Yeah, that game gets it right. I played it with the map turned off and the sleep walking perk and had the best time of it.
Think the second one will finally make me buy a ps5
World size, density, and traversal have to be balanced.
I tend to play without fast travel, and skyrim meets these three pretty well, using the carts and horse for faster travel.
GTA can be bigger, with cars and planes for long distances.
Large worlds are great, if they are packed w content, open barren landscapes are terrible.
Ghost recon wildlands for me is the sweet spot for a big, interesting world with good traversal options.
My shelf is full of Ubisoft games. I’m playing one right now in fact, Farcry 2.
Thing is, I’ve bought a lot of them based of my love of the series, and the truth is, all the recent one’s have sucked. Farcry 2,3,5, primal, AC black flag, rocksmith 2014, anything splinter cell, ghost recon wildlands, all amazing games.
Farcry 6, AC anything after black flag, breakpoint, the new rocksmith, I hated them all. Not because I want to see a company fail, but because the games just don’t have the mechanics I enjoy.
I’ve spent a lot of money in good faith because ubisoft made some of my favorite titles, but I’m done. The only games I might buy at this point on faith are GTA6, Kingdom come Deliverance 2, and Subnautica 2.
I won’t buy anything ubisoft again until I’ve seen multiple reviews telling me exactly why I’m going to love this one.
Well, it’s not like RDR2 had a short story, so I’m ok with that.
I suspect they want enough of a solo game to not piss off us old guys, then will quickly pivot to GTA6 online for the cash cow.
If the world and AI are good, I’ll have endless hours causing chaos and jumping motorcycles.
The pace of change is about every five years, and some elements are always in transition.
All in one turn key solutions are always one to two cycles behind, so may work great with the stuff I’m already replacing.
I think these are honest attempts to simplify, but by the time they have it sorted its obsolete. If I have to build modules anyway to work with new equipemnt, might as well just write all the code in my native language.
These also tend to be attempts at all in one devices, requiring you to use devices only compatible with those subsystems. I want to be able to use best tech from what ever manufacturer. New and fancy almost always means a command line interface, which again means coding.
20 years ago at a trade show, a new module based visual coding tool was introduced in my field which claimed “You’ll never need another programmer”.
Oddly enough, I still have a job.
The tools have gotten better, but I still write code every day because procedural programming is still the best way to do things.
It is just now reaching the point that we can do some small to medium scale projects with plug and play systems, but only with very specific equipment and configurations.
Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game in that way.
I’m glad to hear this. Bought it at launch, on PS4, which I understand had some of the worst problems. Maybe one of the most disappointing games I ever got after all the htype. Gave up after maybe two hours because of all the bugs.
I now have a PS4-Pro, and keep wondering if its finally time to give this game another go.
TIL that both Voyager craft are still operating, simply amazing.
Somehow I had missed that Bannerlord has come to consoles, been waiting for this one a long time.
Sequels often disappoint, but so far this one strikes a great balance between keeping what made the original fun, incorporating new ideas, and adding a ton of quality of life features that fix what made the original a bit frustrating.
Obviously porting this kind of game to a controller is a huge task, and over all they did a good job. Some of the map and menu navigation is a bit clunky, but in almost every way it’s better than warband.
Looking forward to never being able to finish this one either.
I really need to get over the early learning curve and get into this game.
I’ve tried a few times and don’t know why it doesn’t engage me.
Give it another try tonight.
Now this is a stream I would enjoy watching. I have the KSP platinum on PS4, I know exactly how difficult this is.
In fact, since it’s his big fantasy, let’s see a Duna return trip.
