Cheese for continuing to post nice wallpapers! You seem to keep this community going on your own. :)

As always, thank you for your transparency! <3

Looked like ads at first. Gave me a slight cyberpunk vibe for some reason. At least big corpo dystopia.

Yeah I enjoyed it too. Not their most memorable movie andnot particularity original but it did its thing really well.

nlm,

Sounds promising!

I loved the setting of Origins but got burnt out doing all the tedious bits they sprinkled all over the maps that didn’t contribute to the story in ant way and was mostly the same over and over again.

And yes, I know I could skip stuff but I wanted to experience the full hame too… so… yeah.

It definitely could’ve been trimmed down a bit.

Yeah, it really can’t be that hard to show a saving indicator…

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, quick resume on xbox as well and that’s great, most modern games use it. Not all though and not on PC.

Autosaves are great and all… I just want to be able to quit whenever. There’s usually a confirmation when you’re trying to quit anyway. Just save and quit then. :P

I’m glad at least some games still allow you to do that.

nlm,

Yeah, good point and that’s a valid reason I suppose.

It’s still very nice when you have more flexibility.

Wish PC games could implement something like the xbox quick resume or something.

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Some games seem to manage it quite well though? But yeah, they probably had to pit a lot more energy into implementing it.

I’d never play that on PC. It would work on xbox though since quick resume just let’s ju pop out to the dashboard and resume whenever. It’s not foolproof but I’ve only had to restart from a checkpoint a few times.

Wonder is Valve could implement that on windows as well?

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Yes!

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

That would be awesome, I hope they can do it!

Ugh… I wish more developers kept their customers engaged by making good games instead of creating some meta game to keep the hamster wheel running. That feels like a lot of MMO’s…

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

True but that won’t help with many modern games.

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Pretty much this. And if they’re worried about that just make it so you can only save and quit?

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Very much so! For the longest time I had a xerox of some gaming magazine with all the save codes for Lemmings!

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Meh, annoying save systems won’t stop me for buying an otherwise great game but it will somewhat bug me while playing.

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

You can still have checkpoints and auto saves at intervals. That way you can reload if you save a second before dying or whatever.

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Well of course. There’s always room for improvement though.

nlm,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

I do use that. I have a Series X but I play on PC as well. Some games aren’t available on xbox and sometimes the TV might be occupied or I might want to squeeze in some quick gaming while already at my desk.

Really? Any idea how?
