Not the best to any degree but just wanted to shout out the Pimps at Sea mod for Halo MCC that adds boats

Is Black Flag good to play if you don’t like or follow the over arching story of Assassins Creed?

I felt like it kind of pulled me out of other games in the series

I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

Isn’t GTA IV a bit difficult to mod? I feel like I recall using OpenIV and having to track down the correct directories to install each part of a mod the right way

Even then it can be difficult. A lot of mods have other dependencies that need to be installed and those dependencies and can have dependencies.

Mod Organizer 2 is typically recommended over Vortex but it depends on the game. I think Vortex has wider support.

I’ve done zero research into the new release. Does it add much in the way of major game changing alterations? I’m thinking along the lines of how the district systems dramatically the feel of the game

I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs

I feel like I recall a lot of people saying it was kind of forgettable though I might be thinking about Far Cry 6.

What did you think of it?

Isn’t New Dawn a sequel to Far Cry 5?

I would be curious to see which games would have you going back the furthest to fully get the story.

Maybe something starting off on something like the MSX or Intellivision that was never remastered.

I started with number 2 and felt a bit lost. I wonder if it would have been easier to start with 3 in that case.

Then Battlespire and all the mobile exclusive games
