It's basically impossible to play the game otherwise.
I remember having to install Need for Speed Carbon on a dual-boot of Windows 7 in order to play it on Windows 10 iirc because 10 made a change that broke a certain DRM and I couldn't install from disc. I assume it's similar for Most Wanted?
Meta is still publicly tradeable and we the people can make money off of it.
So I'm going with Zuck, here.
Unfortunately, I think you can probably take Onimusha off the list. The remaster of the first game didn't sell well and they cancelled remasters of 2 and 3 because of it.
Unless Ghost of Tsushima and Yakuza Ishin have given them more confidence in the theme to do a RE2/3/4-style remake, I think the franchise is likely to stay in the same awful niche as Dino Crisis where the audience is definitely there but ignored.
Yeah, these three games are huge Ws. I picked it up even as a Gamepass subscriber because this version of The Outer Worlds has the DLC and last I checked you can't install the mods for better cutscene compression on the Gamepass version of Yakuza 4.
Frictional's games in general seem to be way less popular than I perceived as a kid. Like, tubers like PewDiePie were all over Amnesia back in the day, but somehow Amnesia Rebirth and Amnesia: The Bunker have both launched without making any sort of real splash in the gaming community.
It's sad, I feel like they could be where Bloober Team is right now, making games based on properties like Blair Witch and Silent Hill along with their original stuff, but for some reason they're not.
On PC, you're better off just getting BattleBit Remastered if you're not turned off by the graphics. It's more mil-sim than BF but not as heavy-handed as an actual mil-sim, which makes it pretty damn fun. The only thing I miss is being able to parachute.
To be honest, I'm not even sure I want to give it a try on Gamepass. Like the new features and stuff ought to be cool, but PAYDAY 2 is still where all the content is going to be and where I can play in VR with the homies.
I'd argue reddit lost their identity days ago. Several iconic communities and features died with the API slaughter. Now it's just another link aggregator without the things that made reddit unique.
