Hitman: Codename 47

Bought the original Hitman from the Steam summer sales (I also have the CD pictured below but no disc drive on my PC) but ended up returning it after playing for 1.5 hours ๐Ÿ˜„ I played it back in ~2003 and loved it then, but it wasn't really worth playing anymore as I still remember all the missions and it has gotten a tad old. ๐Ÿ™‚ Also bought most of the newer Hitman franchise so I guess I'll try those out instead.

Hitman: Codename 47 review by IC tiou

Hitman: Codename 47 (2000)

9
Reviewing it by how I liked it back in the early 2000s. It has grown old but it is still playable. Graphics are as good as you can imagine a game released in 2000 can have. Controls are pretty fine when you map them for your liking. I only now realized how strong tactic it is to lean from behind a corner in the game. I only played the first five missions this time and the story is a bit superficial but all in all the missions are pretty well designed. I think it was pretty much the first 3D game providing stealth gameplay and rewarding for not shooting the place up. I was able to do the first missions without alerting enemies. In that sense, it is a trailblazer for Splinter Cell and the like.See more reviews for Hitman: Codename 47

Grand Theft Auto V

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŽฎ Steam Deck owners, we've got some bad news... ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿšจ GTA Online is no longer compatible with the Steam Deck, thanks to Rockstarโ€™s recent addition of BattlEye anti-cheat software. ๐Ÿ›‘ While you can still dive into the world of GTA Vโ€™s Story Mode, GTA Online is now off the table for Deck players. ๐Ÿ˜• Hereโ€™s the twist: BattlEye does work on Steam Deckโ€ฆ if developers opt in. All Rockstar would need to do is reach out to enable it, but for some reason, they havenโ€™t taken that step. ๐Ÿค” Itโ€™s especially puzzling considering GTA Online continues to rake in millions for Rockstar, and the Steam Deck remains a fan-favorite for playing the game. The result? Steam reviews are starting to reflect player frustration, with opinions split nearly 50/50. Negative feedback is creeping in as people voice their disappointment over the decision. So, what do you think โ€” is Rockstar making a huge mistake by keeping the Steam Deck in the dark? ๐Ÿ’ฌ #GTAOnline #GTAV #GTA5 #SteamDeck #Rockstar #RockstarGaming #BattlEye

Escape From Tarkov

Here's my current Kappa progress in Escape from Tarkov's current wipe (v0.15.0.0). So all of these quests must be complete before getting the Collector quest from Fence that rewards you with the largest in-game secure container and the DEADSKUL armband. In addition to that, you have to collect all the streamer items shown in this list. I currently have 31/39 of those. Probably the most difficult ones I've already found.๐Ÿ‘ I was able to achieve it last wipe but let's see if I have enough time and motivation to grind it! #EscapeFromTarkov #Kappa #Collector #KappaContainer #DEADSKUL #BSG #BattleStateGames #EFT #wipe #StreamerItems

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Season 6 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sounds like itโ€™s shaping up to be a must-play for horror fans. With the return of The Haunting, the new season introduces two horror-themed maps โ€“ Drive Thru, featuring a killer clown-themed restaurant, and Mad Cow, a chilling slaughterhouse that feels straight out of a slasher film. ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ”ช Fans of characters like Art the Clown and Michael Meyers will definitely appreciate the spooky atmosphere these maps bring. Plus, 5 new Shipment variants are being added, giving players even more content to explore. While I might not be diving in myself, I can see how this season would be a blast for anyone who loves the mix of horror and gaming. ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘ป #CallofDuty #MW3 #Season6 #TheHaunting #Warzone #HalloweenGaming #SpookySeason #MichaelMeyers

Deadlock

There are hackers in Deadlock! ๐Ÿคฏ Even though the game is still in development, the cheaters have already surfaced and are ruining it for everyone else. That's not a surprise really. Luckily, according to Deadlock developers AKA Valve, there is an anticheeat on the way. ๐Ÿ‘ Let's just hope it will be a good one as it is not easy to fight the hackers nowadays ๐Ÿ˜…

The popular game engine, Unity, has decided to give up their "runtime fees" that they introduced pretty much a year ago. ๐Ÿš€ This scheme of theirs has been effectively ruining their reputation, making developers go crazy and also made their CEO resign. ๐Ÿซ  So what was this model with the runtime fees? It meant charging the developers a fee every time the game was installed after the game had made over a minimum revenue limit and was past a certain install count. It made many game developers to reconsider their use of Unity as a game engine. ๐Ÿ’ธ They apologized after the initial news and made some softening blows to the pricing model which made it not that harsh. Still the damage was done; the CEO had to go and they also laid off 1800 people, which apparently was not related to this business strategy change.. ๐Ÿค” They've admitted it was a bad idea, but only after "deep consultation with their community, customers and partners" according to their new CEO Matt Bromberg (https://unity.com/blog/unity-is-canceling-the-runtime-fee). They are switching back to traditional pricing model that changes only on an annual basis. So it sounds like it's going to a better direction again, but I'm curious to see how they will manage to re-gain trust and more users in the future.โ“ #unity #runtimefees #developers #gamedev #news

Concord

I recently posted about Concord being a flop and I wasn't exaggerating. They have decided to shut it down this week only 14 days after its release. ๐Ÿคฏ This must be some sort of a record considering how big of a game it was thought to be by the publisher. ๐Ÿ’ฃ They've ceased all sales and promised to refund all purchases. ๐Ÿ’ธ I suppose they're going to try the F2P route or something along those lines. I'm sure they wont let 8 years worth of development costs go down the drain just like that. ๐Ÿค” #Concord #Sony #Flop #F2P #ShutDown #Refund #PSN #Firewalk

Has anyone tried the NVIDIA's new App yet? It seems that it finally combines GeForce Experience with the classic Control Panel. ๐ŸŽ‰ It's apparently now in beta and it includes features such as RTX Video Resolution and an easier way to install ChatRTX etc. ๐Ÿ‘ I've been waiting for this app to become true, but I've missed the earlier news from earlier this year. It's a bit annoying to have two different apps when they could be combined into one. Hopefully it is good and doesn't unnecessarily take multiple GB's of storage like some other manufacturer's apps, but I trust Nvidia ๐Ÿ˜Š Oh, and one more thing, it's rumoured to improve the new revamped overlay that many gamers are used to for recording in-game clips etc. ๐Ÿ‘Œ #Nvidia #NvidiaApp#GeForce #GeForceExperience #ControlPanel #ShadowPlay #RTX #Beta (image credit: Nvidia)
