I'm tired of launchers.


I'm tired of launchers. I'm not sure what benefit game companies derive from these things (by all means, if you know, tell me.) I can only imagine its having your email on a mailing list, and maybe being able to tie play data to an account.

I was furious when geforce experience, a genuinely useful app suddenly decided it was going to require a login. I have to recover my password for this damn thing all the time. Why do I need a password to automatically update my drivers or change settings? Cyberpunk now wants me to login. And I was furious to find out that Baldur's Gate 3, an otherwise AMAZING game, also wants me to login.

I don't want to have to create a <insert M rated word here> account to login every time I want to play a <insert M rated word here> game.

And I have to see the damn thing everytime I fire the game up. At least the Fallout 4/Skyrim launchers provide some functionality and don't ask you to make a bethesda account.

This sucks. Game Devs? Please STOP.

EDIT: To clarify: I'm talking per game launchers like the ones attached to cyberpunk, Xcom 2, BG3, ect. GOG, Steam, Epic game store are all game STORES and while it's annoying to have to launch mutiple programs to play a game library, it's at least understandable.

I don't mean to alarm anyone but these are actual PS2 graphics!

Games that you can finish at the start?


Does anyone know games that you can finish at the very start? In Super Paper Mario on Wii, I remember that you can refuse to save the world and you get a Game Over. The credits don't roll... it'd be pretty funny if they did though lol.

Trying to "beat it" before Baldur's Gate 3 releases for PS5.

"we made (one-way life decision) to develop this game, please try" ads about games is just bad ads


recently i have been seeing ads like, "we have:
- quit job
- quit school
- used all our funds
in order to create this game, please try it"
and tbh, this kind of ads made me not want to play that game anymore. if they made a normal trailer/ads i would have a different approach. what is your opinion?

Can we get a manhunt remaster/remake?
