He has got to only be saying this because Starfield DLC did poorly. The audience moves on if the game isn't interesting. Personally, I buy all the DLC for games I enjoy. I don't know many people that don't either.

Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam

Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.

Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It's extremely buggy, but luckily there's a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it's essentially feature-complete. There's a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.

Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I'd just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?

LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.

NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don't care if it's up-to-date. It's the best sports game period.

God forbid we... checks notes preserve games so we can play them?

Oh, sorry, I wasn't super clear - never met an alt-righter with a clean room, no matter what JBP tells them.

He only pulled out enough to devastate the Gulf.

Detroit: Beyond Two Fahrenheits

THQNordic and Nightdive have been carrying this sector of gaming for me lately

Yeah, it's fucking awesome! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a AAA studio sink big bucks into a project that was destined to be a dumpster fire, then release it as a timed exclusive loaded with DRM for good measure. I really hate that there are developers falling victim to the overall shittiness of the games industry, but I don't know how else studios are supposed to learn that people want to buy games, not lease online storefronts. On that note, anyone have any good indie recommendations?

KDE Plasma is the way to go if you're too used to the Windows desktop. Plasma 6 is out, and from what I ses it's more like Windows 11, though Plasma is so configurable you could definitely mimic Windows 10.

Kubuntu still uses Plasma 5, which was pretty much exactly like using Windows 10 when I used it, though more configurable and smoother to use. If you want stability and compatibility in your machine, with a DE that has all its issues ironed out, Kubuntu is a good choice.

But, they are Ubisoft. As is the theme with this new Star Wars game. I'm almost wary to wish for a sequel to Rayman Legends, feels like the monkey's paw with AAA (sorry, AAAA) studios now.

Far Cry 2 also had the buddies system, which I have missed greatly in every entry since. Far Cry 3 was an awesome game but I do wish the series after had taken more inspiration from 2 and less from 3. Subverting missions and then losing your favorite buddy in a firefight is an experience unlike anything in the rest of the series.
