For someone who was not a gamer in 2007 Curious to know who played Crysis in 2007 with max or close to max settings and how “next-gen” did it feel?

For context, and to explain why I’m asking this, I’m 37 and loved gaming as a kid. However, I didn’t game during my “prime” gaming years. In 2007, the release year of Crysis, I was a 20-year-old father who was in and out of jail. Now, my life is somewhat sorted out, and I’ve rediscovered my interest in gaming. I cut the grass on weekends and frequent Home Depot. That being said, I have moments of nostalgia, wishing I had experienced these gaming milestones.

The reason I’m posting this now is that I picked up an ROG Ally. While setting up the game launchers and downloading content, I realized I had a free copy of Crysis Remastered and was thoroughly impressed for the 15ish mins I played it anyways lol

As someone who lives in the Asia-Pacific region, it's extremely hard to go on pub and find people to play the same games with, unless it's a super popular game like CSGO or something. And it's even way harder to find a game with decent latency since most servers will be hosted in America/Europe.

I remember back in the 2000s-early 2010s... most games still had server browsers where you could have full visibility on who's playing what game mode, what map levels, and what is the latency of the servers. So you know exactly which you can join mid-game.

So it really infuriates me on why devs no longer put server browsers on their games and use matchmaking instead.

Now we have completely zero transparency with matchmaking. Like...why??? Server browsers are inherently better in every single aspect.

In matchmaking, I cant fucking tell if there's even anyone playing pub at all.

In matchmaking, I'm forced to wait in a useless lobby waiting uselessly for perhaps nobody to ever join but IDK that since there's zero visibility on who's playing. It's literally like some blind dating matchmake BS.

It's even worse when there are various game modes and you have to choose one game mode to play. Maybe that game mode has 0 people playing it but again, you dont know and the game doesnt tell you via matchmaking. And even if I do manage to find a game to join, it turns out to be high latency. It's so fucking stupid.

How did this become a thing in gaming??? I recall the most earliest I saw this transition was from playing L4D1 to L4D2. From some incredulously stupid reason, Valve decided to remove the server browser in L4D2 even though guess what, the server browser was still there all along and could be unlocked using a mod.

With Ghost of Tsushima just releasing on PC, the game just got some fresh hype. Been wondering how many new players are interested in trophy and achievement hunting?

Cause a new interactive map from Gamevillage has just dropped, if you want a map for gamers made by gamers, this is the source for you!

Check out their Twitter for updates too, they'll be making more maps aside from Tsushima!

Hello!

I have released my game on Steam on 5/20 with early access after 3 years of development,

some people asked me why make a game like this,

some people told me to just make a game that is trendy nowadays,

and I wanted to give up because I was developing it alone,

but I finally made it to release.

I don't think it will sell that much because it has a small wishlist,

but I'm so happy to be a developer who can introduce my game to gamers here,

even if it's not a good game.

* My game STAR RABBITS is a simple running game!

• Action Adventure Runner!
• Lots of random elements for multiple playthroughs.
• Each stage requires exploration with different obstacles and gimmicks.
• Support Leaderboards.

* Trailer movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-SAxFz5QW0

* Steam Link: Save 15% on Star Rabbits on Steam (steampowered.com)

If you are interested, add it to your wishlist.

Thank you.

I'll go first diablo 2 and 3, Stardew valley and, borderlands 2. there is just something about the replay ability of those games that always bring me back.
