I get people preferring one platform over another. What I don't understand is platform loyalty/tribalism. It makes no sense. Just enjoy your games!

Nintendo never really did complicated. Can't imagine them doing a battery warning with features you can turn on/off.

If that was the case though, I would have expected them to have announced it already 🤔. Nintendo doesn't strike me as the kind of company to show their hardware to the press long ahead of announcement.

Would be a bit weird as they own GOG.

Showing it to devs/publishers I can understand. Why would they be showing it to press though?

Tencent....

That's all I needed to know.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Isn't this a GDPR requirement if enough time passes without account activity?

How do you know if you like them if you haven't tried them 😋?

We'll, excuse me 🤣...

I don't tag them with anything.

I think this is what the commenter above is getting at. You say you want to play the game, but “dnf” means “did not finish” which alludes closer to just checking it off a list.

My list is basically my library. I only buy games if I want to play them (I don't bother redeeming free games if I don't intend to play it). That said, just because I want to play a game doesn't guarantee I end up enjoying it. The great perhaps is one such game. Thought it was for me, didn't enjoy it, so won't bother finishing it.

My backlog consists of games I've bought because I want to play them. But because there's always something on offer I end up buying more than I can get through. So this will be a way to stop myself spending money when I already have enough games to get me through to the end of this year. If I find I'm not enjoying one of them, I'll mark it "dnf" and hide it from my library. So I've absolutely no plan to play a game if it turns out to not be any fun.

 

Found this video really interesting as I have a relatively large backlog myself. Fortunately not nearly as large as this one.

Personally, I've only ever considered games I own to be part of my backlog, which makes my list much more manageable. That said, I have a large number of unplayed games on both Steam and GoG. So to start I've decided to play all my GoG games first (as that is still within reach). I've promised myself not to buy any more games untill all my GoG games are either completed or marked "did not finish" due to it not being my thing.

For anyone who played this as a kid, this video is really fascinating. Hope he keeps it up.

 

I'm looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I'm therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

 

Retro Game Corps has just posted a 30 day review of the Ally. As someone who has pre-ordered I found it quite interesting. As expected, the major down side to this device is the battery. Fortunately, my main reason for purchasing this is to do some gaming on my commute to work. As I'm only on the subway for 25 min, this should cover my needs perfectly, regardless of the game I play.

 

Wondering if there are any good games out there which play like the original Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games. Games where tactics are completely necessary to survive, and one shot will kill you.

Only looking for single player experiences.
