I only have it for drunk couch local multiplayer with friends anyways so upgrading beyond bo3 isn’t even remotely necessary for me. I only bought it because I didn’t have access to my bo2 copy.

In all fairness. I didn’t even notice BO5 was a thing until they released BO6. I own BO3, and read that BO4 was utter garbage. Now I know BO6 exists and that it’s probably garbage as well.

No worries, just would’ve been neat, if you knew any.

Are there any good mobile apps (iOS) that support all mbin features?

What’s the difference. Asking because I really don’t know. Lemmy, kbin, mbin, … what makes one better than the other, besides lemmy being (or having been?) actively developed by tankies?

For games at least (haven’t tested for films/shows as I do that on my TV), HDR support is there. I‘m running nobara htpc, which has everything necessary already set up and any game I ran in gamescope so far worked perfectly fine in HDR.

Of course. But usually you’re not porting 14 y/o spaghetti code

Oh absolutely. Anyone who wants it should wait for a sale at the very least. You‘ve waited 14 years, you can wait a few more months.

It‘s the gamers’ problem that they complain but then buy it anyways for that price instead of waiting until the game is on sale. Rockstar has no reason not to charge full price, as long as some idiot pays it. All I‘m saying is, that greed isn’t the only reason for the price, if that interview I read was to be believed.

To windows, sure. But the 360 and PS3 have PowerPC processors while PCs and modern consoles have a very different architecture (x86). And porting to that is more effort.

On the one hand, this is bullshit. A 14 y/o game shouldn’t cost more than its successor. On the other hand, I remember reading, the reason for RDR having never been released for pc (until now) was that the version of the RAGE engine they used was based on the one from GTA IV but severely modified with features that were originally meant for the version of the engine that would ultimately power GTA V. Those modifications apparently weren’t documented particularly well, making it unprofitably difficult to port to PC at the time. So my guess is, that the steep price isn’t just corporate greed but to some extent actually for a lot of work making sense of a 14 year old frankenstein monster of an engine and getting it to work well on modern architectures.

Really? I hated SourceTree. It was the reason why I switched to GitKraken in the first place. Haven’t needed to use git in a few years now but especially when dealing with conflicts, GitKraken was just infinitely superior and sourcetree annoyingly barebones.

And spam (like spam mail) is called so because of a monty python sketch referencing the canned meat with the same name.

Since GTA is a money printing machine. i doubt they’d ever do that

Slapping a plot on a sandbox game already worked though. Minecraft Story mode might not be anywhere near the best telltale game but for its core audience (primarily pre teens, I‘d guess) it‘s fine. Good enough to warrant a second season. However, it looked like Minecraft, the story seemed like something people living in a Minecraft world would existiere and it didn’t rely on star-power to get any traction.

Where I live, when you go into the forest, especially if it’s sunny after it rained recently, you’ll easily get hit with that earthy forest smell. If there are a lot of conifers, the smell is especially nice.

Well, of course they’re caricatures. That’s the whole point of GTA. But that doesn’t mean, they’re not well written. Obviously they don’t have the depth of the characters of RDR2. Which is why I prefer that game over GTA.

Well, then GTA just isn’t for you, the same as Skyrim isn’t for me. I love the story and characters in GTA and hate the lack of deep characters and stories in the Elder Scrolls series because I don’t care much for exploring worlds in a way that doesn’t feel meaningful to me (or my character). We also seem to dislike GTA Online for different reasons. Me, because it’s devoid of characters and story, you because it lacks things to do.

Everything you describe you dislike about GTA V and RDR2 is what I love. I couldn’t care less about online. I find playing in an endless sandbox a waste of my time. I love however the characters and the story, especially in RDR2. I want Rockstar to keep making great story modes and to focus on amazing fixed characters because the opposite rarely works out. Bethesda games, for example, quickly bore me and ubisofts characters in the last decade have been a joke. I love that the industry trend goes towards big singleplayer linear adventures again because for a while there was too much focus on online and too many ginormous but boringly empty open worlds. Rockstar manage to build amazing single player experiences while still having a huge multiplayer community within the same game.

Didn’t have the acquisition of Quantic Dream on the Radar. That makes them unproven in their current form. Fair point.

For Rockstar though, if you liked GTA V, you’ll probably like GTA 6. Same goes for a potential RDR3 or any other IP. Sure, they’re owned by take two but Rockstar seems to be able to produce quality games regardless. Probably because they’re bringing in shit tons of money. I don’t see that changing much any time soon. If someone told me they preordered GTA 6 already, I wouldn’t be scared about them getting scammed. Worst case the PC release will have a few buggy weeks.

Similar for naughty dog, the PC port of tlou pt1 might have had a rocky release but it’s still a good game because it’s a remake of a masterpiece. And whatever game they will release next will almost certainly be a great game as well, be it another uncharted, tlou or one of the new IPs they’re working on. If you’re a PlayStation gamer anyways. And technically the PC port of tlou pt1 wasn’t even made by them but Iron Galaxy. And the PS Account thing, while annoying to some, has no impact at all on the contents of the game.

This isn’t to excuse shitty behavior of those devs, they all have had their issues but they never (or at least not in recent memory) released a lemon of a game, unlike Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda and the likes.
