I fully expect it to be a Neo Geo Pocket. Awesome and dinky, yet the games being all over the place. 90% of my enjoyment if the device will come from the form factor, I’m sure.

And here's a fresh Ubi-batch to go with it... https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-07-22-report-details-toxic-culture-sexual-harassment-and-racial-pay-disparity-at-ubisoft-singapore Dear lord.

Heh, that change might not even be conscious at that point. It's 'merely' Leyou/Tencent needing to comply to Chinese law and thus propagating the change throughout the world. It is propaganda in the classic sense.

Yup, they're 'permanent upgrades'.

This might sound a tad conspiracy-ish, but I do wonder what's going to happen in the long term. I mean, they are on-track following the US playbook: wield influence over a popular form of media. Then while everybody isn't looking, all output from those studios might be (self-)censored into complying with their biggest (Chinese) market, and in the end, you'll have a branch of media that is singing the praises of the Chinese outlook under the guise of 'being for everyone'. Again, exactly what the US did in the second half of the twentieth century. And that's disregarding all the other fingers they have in all the other pies. Can't say Warframe (for instance) has suffered under their ownership, but yeah, the entire endeavour remains a bit imo.

Another day, another Tencent move: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-07-19-tencent-takes-major-stake-in-stunlock-studios

Finally. Do wonder if cross-save means you'll have to select a single platform save as your main one discarding the others, or if they are going to merge them somehow.

@superfunk Use the grapple to go somewhere high, shoot everything you have and grapple elsewhere. Repeat. This isn’t fancy or anything but if you keep grappling, the big robo won’t have much time or opportunity to counterattack. Same with the crawling robos, use elevation where possible and keep distance through grappling.

I may have pre-ordered this...

Perfect. With a bit of luck I can order the full game together with a new controller after wearing down the buttons because of this.

Yes. It's right there on the product page.

If there's any strategy it's probably to make the underlying ProtonDB a bit of a target spec, providing a more consistent base level of game quality throughout the Steam world. Possibly the closest you'll get to a dedicated Xcloud handheld, as well.

I experienced Ixion as one of the easiest. Such a breath of fresh air after the tight reaction windows of Phrike.
