Thanks to publisher and consumer demand, multiplayer modes have become obligatory to the point that gamers consider any title without an online component as inferior. Do we, however, really want multiplayer in these games, or are we merely whining for these token inclusions without thinking about what we're asking for?
Valorant Replays were demonstrated for the first time today in the latest Valorant Dev Update, which also shared new information about update 8.11
As the latest client update rolls out for Steam Remote, it appears Steam Deck users may not be able to reap the benefits just yet. The client update in question has added support for full HDR streaming from a Windows PC using Nvidia or AMD hardware acceleration to another Windows PC or Mac with an HDR display. However, Steam Deck users are struggling to send HDR from their PC to their device.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has now launched, bringing with it some of the most stunning visuals you've ever seen in a game.
The first game lacked depth as well, but the graphics were phenomenal
Going to be real. I’m playing on my PC and every setting is on high at 60fps locked. The game is beautiful, sounds good in headphones (I’m sorry but Returnal still holds the aural crown), and has an impressive photo mode. Can literally hit that at any time. You won’t have full control at certain times, but it’s impressive. After more than an hour I’ve already started to get bored. The fights are brain dead so far and it is a CRAP ton of walking and listening. I’m over the beginning “theme” of you did this to us (people that have played will get this as not to spoil anything). I literally non stop run every chance I get. Obviously isn’t the whole game but gahdamn. Hopefully it picks up soon. Definitely can’t see this being a 10/10 by any stretch of the imagination because the beginning has gotten so boring. Here’s to a better experience tomorrow or Friday when I pick it back up.
Agreed. I've played about 34 mins & it was boring. I'm going to try again tonight for another half hour or so & see if it gets better.
I felt this way with Alan Wake 2. I lasted four hours and then quit...walking sim with weak combat.
make multiplayer fun or stfu
Hey, Multiplayer gaming is just point and shoot. (Lol, I get em every time)=)
Wasn't this already posted but on Gamespot?
too much? definitely. good thing? debatable.
it shows how many new gamers are here when a sizable % simply won't touch a single player only game. up until the release of xbl you NEVER heard somebody say something like that. i think a.d.d. riddled recent gamers have hurt gaming more than any army of casuals.
to focus on some kind of multiplayer component when most people only play a few times, then run back to thier multiplayer game of choice, i.e. COD or BFBC2, halo, etc. seems to me that most companies should just nix multiplayer all together and leave it to the big boys. seriously, how many people played stranglehold multi, or dark sector, or the darkness? maybe for a day. seems a waste of manpower and time that couldve gone to boost the decent single player of those games
