One of my favorite game memories comes from Oblivion. I'd downloaded an archery reticle mod and was practicing my sniping skills in the rolling hills just across the river from the Capital city, toward Cheydinhal. Saw this deer waaaay off in the distance, only showing up as couple of pixels on my screen. I knocked a Glass arrow and let it loose..... ..... ..... and suddenly see the deer get thrown up into the air. I run over to examine it and see that I had just caught it right through one of it's ears, like I gave it piercing. Good times.

I'll be picking this up, but not until a deep, deep sale. Too many other games on the burner at the moment.

Ok, Internet and Switch emulator programmers, Godspeed on your next endeavor. Fingers crossed we'll get The Duskbloods on PC via emulation before the end of 2026.

Bottom line for me - if they make it, I will buy it. NOLF could also use a big screen adaptation.

Now THAT should have been the video game movie Cate Blanchett did. Some other universe is very lucky.

My #2 game of all time, behind the original Half-Life. First game that introduced me to an FPS that had RPG mechanics, with points you could allocate...and an inventory system? Instantly fell in love. And the story didn't hurt either. But having your weapons degrade so fast sure did. Ouch.

I love that the developer put this in there. Reminds me of the old days when they'd put stuff like this in games. Now everything is just sold on spectacle.

The food looks great, but the uncanny-valley mannequins eating it does not. I don't know about you guys but my toon looks absolutely creepy after she chomps down on some fried fish (with cheese??).

Yeah, the Half-Life ship has sailed for me. With Laidlaw gone as the main story architect and Valve taking.....(checks watch)....20 fucking years to come out with the sequel, I just don't care anymore. Still love Half-Life 1 and what it did for gaming but this news is meh.

I bought into VR back in the late '90s with the Forte VFX helmet and quickly came to the conclusion that VR is a gimmick. They excel at "cockpit" games, whether they be racing, planes, etc. (why do you think all the tech demos are rollercoasters?) but leave a lot to be desired for everything else.
Personally, I'm waiting for holodecks. If I live that long.

There used to be a TFC server called "Got Hunted" back in the day that was Hunted 24/7, albeit a slightly modified version (the Prez had a quad-damage umbrella in case the snipers did a suicide run at him) and was an absolute blast to play. Would love to see a new iteration of it.

Should I start reporting them all? I'm sure they'll be treated equally.

Now that's funny. Complaining that the boards aren't diverse enough for your opinion? Are you seriously looking for equity and inclusion? When you deny it to trans-folk and everyone else? And you're seriously going to plead ignorance on not knowing (who?) removed your post?

* REMOVED *

LOL. I never complained about racism or bigotry. I complained about their stupidity. You're the one that mentioned race, "whitey" and I guess your ending argument is you don't get to criticize someone negatively and be a bad person? Ok, you win. You're a bad person.

RIP Peter Jason - only one of my favorite recurring character actors in all my favorite John Carpenter films. You will be sorely missed.

And speaking of JC, happy 95th birthday to James Hong. 95 is spry for a 2,000-year-old demigod. Indeed!

Wellll, fuck a duck. I guess I never pre-ordered SS on Steam, but pre-ordered it on Fanatical. So no free SS2 for me. All good, I'll pick it up on sale. Throw it on my SABLE pile. (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy)

I'm sure I'll pick it up, play it, and eat my words, but I kind of don't care? Half-Life 1 is still my #1 game of all time, and while I enjoyed Half-Life 2, it wasn't the same for me that HL1 was. It veered away from The Twilight Zone and more into standard alien-invasion storyline. I had my hopes up when I read Laidlaw's Episode 3 treatment, throwing in a Philadelphia Experiment-type weirdness again with the Borealis/Portal connection, but it's taken so long now...I look at the series like leftovers that would need to be reheated, if that makes sense. I'm sure it'll taste good, but no where near as good as it did when it was fresh. All I can hope for is that Valve seats me at the table and instead of handing me the regular menu, pulls back the curtain to show an extravagant Hawaiian luau.
I think I'm hungry.

Note that the Ultimate Edition, contains DLC that has already been delisted.

Is it the Lotus and Tiger packs?
If so, they don't show on the main page, but if you can scroll down on the store page to DLC and click the "browse all" and scroll down, it shows the Mitsubishi plus those two, and you can get to their pages to claim them still that way.

Those are still there because they were always free, but there are dozens of such car DLCs that were sold separately or as part of the 'Car Pass' or 'VIP Membership,' both of which are included in the ultimate package. Not to mention the map expansions, which are also not being sold on their own. The Hot Wheels car pack is no longer available at all since being delisted 6 months ago.

Ah, was wondering where the Hot Wheels DLC went as that was the only one I didn't buy. Ah well, multiplayer probably won't be playable in 2 years time anyway once they shut down the servers.
