What's exctally the big thing about putting your card info into game pass.. Microsft store is any less secure than Steam ? To me just seems like cheap excuse to go pirate bay and risk get some shit that get your card infos anyway.

Neither do you, apparently.

Are you referring to Win64? That's basically just Win32 with support for building 64-bit programs, no?

But to be honest I'm not sure why everyone are referring to both Win32 and Win64 as just "Win32". The proper umbrella term is "Windows API", or maybe "WinAPI" for short.

 

[Efe]

he clearly just wants to pirate it and feel morally justified while doing it.
i find that ignoring a game and being dismissive when it comes up in a topic hurts it a lot more.
its like you take the word of mouth marketing and turn it into a negative.

Everyone including Microsoft themselves. I was just using the terminology from that announcement: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/05/30/microsoft-approach-to-pc-gaming/

The windows api was (and informally is) simply referred to as "Win32" regardless of the architecture for a long time.

Win32 is now the common name for the API, so that makes sense, especially in an announcement targeted at consumers.

I know, it just slightly annoys me. But I wonder why it is, I don't recall it being common before the UWP controversy.

So... The Outer Worlds for Nintendo Switch. Yay.

Interesting that they're now so committed to making Flaws a factor in dialogue C&C that they're mentioning it in marketing material. I don't think that was the case before.

Megan Starks in the interview from April: https://www.dualshockers.com/the-outer-worlds-interview-pax-east/

L: The flaws system was one element of The Outer Worlds I spoke to Tim and Leonard about quite a bit. I’m curious though, will flaws you acquire play into the narrative in any way or is it more of a systems-level function?

MS: It’s more of systems thing but I sneak some in. I really liked the robophobia flaw where when you talk to robots sometimes you have the dialogue option where you just scream in their face. But for the most part, it’s systems based.

I guess she did some more sneaking.

There is a great feeling of moral justification when one decides to no longer finance Obsidian shit games. You should try it, it is awesome.

 

[Efe]

thats exactly what im doing.
i take it a step further and stop giving them any mind share too.
its in the post that you quoted actually, try reading next time?

 

[Zombra]

Yeah, I never understood the whole "this dev is so bad I'm going to play their game a lot and enjoy it THAT'LL SHOW EM"

 

[Kyl Von Kull]

This is way too fierce! Now I don't know whether to buy it on ps4 or on switch! Obsidian are doing so amazing it's so cool to see

I would probably buy for PS4/PC unless your wife/husband has a gf/bf preferency is having a shitty handheld version of the game.

 

[ArchAngel]

Who said anything about enjoying. I also played Fo4 for 15h so I can bash it better for years afterwards.

But have you finished it seven times to make extra sure?

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah, all those pirates that slurp those gigabytes on day 1 and play 40 hours straight complaining about how shit it is but how smart of them not to pay money for it they sure showed those video game companies what real principles looks like

Ironically, not playing shit that's not worth paying for means I have more time to pay for & play, oh I don't know, Underrail, extending my record of not playing a single minute of FO4, ME3, DA:I or whatever

Nah, I will leave that honor to you.

Since big companies only care about $, they sure did more than anyone that paid for it.

The Outer Worlds Nintendo switch version is blowing up so much online!

This Nintendo tweet already has nearly half a million views (like 4 times more than any of their other twitter videos...even the so good Fire Emblem release tweet!)



It's like completely washed off all the bad press from that Epic Store exclusive stuff from earlier!!!

 

[Quillon]

Can't hear it clearly with all the talking...
