Specifically, I'm a fan of the GeForce Now approach. You just login to your PC digital store of preference like Steam, Uplay or whatever and play your library there. It makes it so you don't have to worry about ownership issues or the games disappearing if the service shuts down.
Yep that sounds much, much better!

But yeah isn't that one of the good points with Stadia, no cheating?:D I'm still super curious what a game will look like that is exclusively made for Stadia, where the devs can go crazy knowing they aren't limited by the clients computer and internet connections for stuff like connecting mp and stuff happening in the game world and so on.

Eh, more options isn't a bad thing and steaming is several decades away from being the only option. And some services like GeForce Now or Shadow PC already eliminate some of the major issues with it.
Why didn't I know about GeFore Now? Sounds really great.

Take-Two CEO on GI.Biz:

"Just by way of putting it in context, say you're launching a service that offers video games, and you can't come to terms with Take-Two. So that means you're going to offer a robust service that does not include Grand Theft Auto, the biggest title in the business, Red Dead Redemption, one of the biggest titles in the business, [NBA 2K], the biggest sports title in the US, WWE, Civilization, Borderlands, BioShock, and the list goes on. Good luck to you. "

Doesn't this sound lovely for us as consumers? :love:

Edit: that same guy also claims that Fortnite didn't change the industry. Wow.

Not only that, but the hubris wow, pretty sure the gaming industry would be just fine without any of those games and any service also.

I will pass out if Destiny 2 is coming to Steam. I love destiny and play it on Bnet all the time. But being able to play it on Steam is a dream come true.

Also thing of note, There is no advertisement for the stream in battlenet. When Bungie hosted a stream a few days ago it was advertised on the Destiny battlenet hub page but not the big reveal stream. CoD MW was also advertised on BO4’s. I was actually wondering why that is a few hours ago, Guess we know why.

I know it's a Tabata game but it feels like a Nomura game.

I just want to shoot opera singing zombies with pyrokinetic flames, none of that poverty Matrix shit.
I havent played that game but lets not get that in the way of my irrational hate for Nomura, so I agree with you wholeheartedly.

My cheating days are long over, ruined too many games back in the C64/Amiga era and many modern ones are easy as pie anyway. Can't even look up a solution of a puzzle in an adventure without feeling like a fraud.

Ok. We Germans are unworthy of Quake II RTX. :(
Our youth must be protected from evil 90s Killerspiele.

So many movies and games got taken off the Index and rated lower during the past few years, it'd just need some paperworkand Q2 would be FSK16 easy.

To be fair even we are praising it and seeing it as a beacon un this egs timeline.
Still pcgamer make moronic statements and articles so what do they know.
Well yes, because it goes straight against Epic's plan to bleed Steam dry of the most promising games.

It's just hilarious that PC Gamer is writing this now, after defending Epic's moneyhats for months. Remember how they wrote that Epic's exclusivity deals are for our own good? 🤭

Personally if I say "cheating" I usually don't really mean cheating-"cheating" but general CheatEngine-QoL-"cheating" :p

I.e use the speedhack to increase walking speed or speed-up long unskippable animations, eliminate requirements for NG+ stuff, skip particularly awful grind, stuff like that.

ok guys, the chat is live! open the thread (there's the stream embed in there) and jump into the Stadia chat room! :) but ...

REMEMBER: ALL mesages posted in the chat will be converted into forum posts in the stream thread ... and they won't get automerged ... so try not to post multiple short messages in a row if possible!!!


see you on the other side ;)

They are trying to imply: An influx of new big games is just what Valve needs to compete against the Epic Moneyhats, true competition has arrived in the PC space

I wonder if Devolver genuinely though The Observer would bomb hard and just tried to recoup as much cash as possible to ensure the devs stayed in business?

Or they are full of shit.

I'm interested in Cooking Sim but will wait to see if I get a coupon later today considering how many times I had a coupon dropping right after buying a game those last weeks.
