Never heard of that mod. For Deus Ex? I should give it a try.
As for thief, I always loved playing the fan missions, still have about 20gb of them on my hard drive. But if you haven't tried it, I suggest you play The Dark Mod. I used to make assets for them back in 2011-2012. It has some exceptional missions and good mechanics for a fan game.
Can't see the video right now, but considering the old thief games are some of my favorite games ever, I don't think I'd disagree much. Still haven't found a better stealth game, 23 years later. Deus ex can come real close in terms of quality stealth if you play ghost, but while encouraged, it's not the point of the game.
Last time it got so bad that I started duping to be able to function there with a new character without nolifing the game. Something which I had promised myself not to do ever in this game, ever since I learned how back in 2007.
I heard a lot of people with performance issues, luckily I never had that problem myself for whatever reason. Regardless if it was with the new or old engine.
Then again, if I ever decide to play again, I have an entire roster of lvl1 chars with the entire set of the store QoLs to go, from all the keys to the gardens, to stupid amounts of VP/tokens, to banks and portable stores and even endgame armors and a complete set of twinking weapons/armors for every skill/ability at every breakpoint. So it'll be easy to get back into it.
Though I doubt I ever will again.
Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.
Doesn't make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is..a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that's a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.
It's not. Most of the time it's fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.
Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.
But I doubt there's a game I've sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it's just nostalgia and it's not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.
Last I checked, if you had an account from back in the day, you could still play on the servers, even with other people (there is still an active community on discord for events and raids and pvp and such).
But no. Don't play that abomination on steam.
I remember when I was considered a contrarian for refusing to have a facebook account back in 2008 or twiter later on or instagram. How times have changed.
Do you happen to have a good guide I could follow? I really like the idea behind playnite and how good/useable it can look, but I get lost every time.
If not for the rest, at least for emulators/retro gaming.
I really, really want to use it instead of having a bunch of launchers for pc and emulation but it's too damn fiddly. Cant get retroachievements to work, normal achievements tab is forever empty, no way I found to have a unified control scheme, most of the plugins I tried do absolutely nothing, like the deal finding one, I could go on.
Not saying it doesn't work, obviously it does. But it doesn't for me sadly. And I can't spend a week on trying to get it to work. Two days of following guides online, did nothing for me, so I just gave up.
After my last visit on r/piracy, I'm of the mind to close it down for good and if reddit wants it back they can do so themselves.
Sure, there's a few people there that honestly ask question about the community since they weren't checking reddit at the time, but any attempt to explain has people insulting me. They want to stay there? Fine, cut ties and let them moderate it. That means they inherit a community someone else worked hard to build but whatever. With the attitudes I notice, they are not going to manage to keep it running for more than a few months anyways.
I tried, but saw the link to F-Droid and gave that a try. Will try again after work. There's no gambatte apk, right? Though even if there is, I doubt it'd have support for shaders or retroachievements.
