FYI: Always online, even in single player. Game will be useless once Activision turns off the authentication servers.

Thank you for posting this. I would have bought it to play on my steam deck

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same. I guess I'll wait until they change that.

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their loss I guess.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or just use an emulator to run the originals..?

yeah maybe just pirate these, the roms are definately out there

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only for the Switch port. The EGS PC release was never cracked, AFAIK.

Apparently the steam version is now, however.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This information now makes me wanna buy that game. Like so many, I don't mind paying for entertainment, I just don't want to be suddenly without access to the game. Activision is so stupid.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, if I get it, I'll probably buy a license and then play the cracked version. However, I'm not likely to go through the effort, so I guess we'll see.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If I'm able to make the game work down the road, it's enough for me.

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The guy in the game really looks like Tony Hawk, weird coincidence.

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Wait until he tries to rent a car.

[–] sacbuntchris@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure if I want to buy it to support games coming to steam or skip it after it took so long.

[–] 9715698@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Skip it because it's an always online singleplayer game.

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It came to Steam because of the Microsoft buyout. Same with Diablo 4.

[–] float@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You still have to install that annoying Blizzard launcher, I guess?

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you find annoying with Battlenet? It's no worse than Steam.

[–] float@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I'm okay with steam because:

  • basically everyone can sell their games on Steam (*conditions apply)
  • it has a (working) offline mode
  • they're putting a lot of effort into gaming on Linux
  • family sharing
  • it let's me integrate external games

The Blizzard launcher is just for the few games Blizzard is selling. It asked me to go online way too often. Maybe every single time, I don't remember exactly. It's a bit like that Rockstar launcher. I don't see any value in it besides auto updates.

Is the original soundtrack there?

[–] chili1553@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is this better than 2x?
