Upgraded to Windows 11 on my gaming PC. Couple of tweaks needed and the start menu sucks, but otherwise it's fine.

@clemmygames They should have not actually shown what is down there... that would have made for cool marketing.

@RetroSpaceGame Save scumming is great because it encourages experimentation without needing to replay much, perfect for an immersive sim.

@pcgamer When 65 becomes a bad score to rage about, you know that game review scores are broken.

@exQUIZitely It was mainly the uniqueness. After the early shooters (wolf 3d et al) came multiplayer (e.g. duke3d) but it wasn't really until UT and Q3A when the movement and combat balance was highly refined. Combine that with a strong community (maps) and pro leagues and it was meant to be.

The real problem is not that jobs are going, but that they don't currently have another game ready to start. That means Sony is still deciding what do to next.

@SalmanGreen why do you need a fancy tool to measure height, let alone 3 of them? What a ridiculous waste of resources.

@007GameIOI Bond getting shot dozens of times, getting charges(?), tutorial popups mid-battle, 2015 graphics, throwing a weapon mid fight (lol), enemies that stop firing when bond is bleeding out, explosive barrels every 5m, explosive cars.

@GiveMeBanHammer Fake reviews are becoming extremely prevalent on Steam. I've come across a number of accounts that 'manage' hundreds of other newbie accounts that just post fake reviews of the same game. Steam user rating is unfortunately nearly useless.

@MckKirk @spectraimsim this one brought me out of it instantly. I get that it's hard to always ensure dialogue is era appropriate but that one is so clearly not.
