Cheating is definitely a problem in SF6, but it's a lot less of a challenge dealing with it due to match duration. You generally move on to different opponents fast enough, unless of course you're at the highest ranks.
Still agree that kernel level anti-cheat does nothing here, and I also won't be buying it due to that reason.
How do you feel about Doom-likes from 30 years ago?
Yeah agreed, I was playing the early PTU versions and it was rough, but in live I feel like interactions have less delay than they did in 3.22
Honestly this is the best most performant patch they have released, and I'm genuinely excited about every feature here (yes I love master modes too).
There's obviously still bugs, and server performance still hits you like a truck, but I didn't expect any changes on that this patch.
Can't wait for 4.0 and hopefully the smoothness to be common rather than just for the first 15 mins of a fresh server (before everyone spreads out).
If we're being fair, they made the one of the most impressive devices in that category currently - it's just that category doesn't really have the tech behind it to deliver what most people want as usable. I do agree though if they had marketed as a VR headset it would have been personally more interesting, but the true vision of the AVP category has yet to be fully realized by any company.
Introversion still exists and wasn't sold, they're making a somewhat similar game now - The Last Starship.
Personally very excited with all the future versions this leads to. What Chad said about expanding your home bases as you expand into the universe, sounds awesome and a great way for progression to happen in the game.
With newer versions of Steam, it's just handled automatically as long as you enable it, you can download from other players on the network. True not all games are on steam, and this probably works well for massive LAN setups, but I tried and failed to set this up, it's a bit of a pain and personally found it not worth the effort.
You've always been able to change it for built in applications (messages, mail, phone, etc.). I assume the above poster was joking? Or maybe there's some nuanced feature they added around it recently.
Let's be honest the people who would defend their ROI have lost interest in defending it to the unwilling. Star Citizen has become a cat call to all the haters whenever it's posted in general gaming (namely r/games and c/games now) communities. The only way the narrative changes is by showing not telling, and that only happens with further polishing like this article is covering, and in future release.
There is a reason they've successfully increased pledge numbers year over year, you just don't hear from people outside that community due to this stigma that's not worth bothering to explain.
You can trust the person, without trusting their technical skills, such that they haven't inadvertently installed malware on their own devices.
IW4x exists if you want to mod the original MW2 with dedicated servers, been meaning to try it for a while so can't comment on its popularity
