I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Hey pro tip, if a game isn’t nearly as epic and fun as one that was released like 12 years ago, then its OK to call it a bad game. Cuz that’s certainly not good

      To be honest, I think if I were to go back and try Skyrim now, I’d probably feel pretty similarly about it as to how I do about Starfield. I still enjoy gaming, but it doesn’t enthrall me quite the same as it used to. Part of adulthood I suppose.

        I would say the same, but only because the standards of current Gen games has definitely gone up since then. There just weren’t games like Elden Ring and TotK around when Skyrim was released

          Should I give TotK another chance? I just find the building mechanic very tedious, even with Autobuild. Is the storyline really worth it? I’ve gotten as far as beating the first four temples, if that helps.

            It’s not about the storyline at all. If you don’t enjoy the mechanics, you won’t enjoy the game. I’m in the same boat - I’d really like to like it, but I play games mainly to tell a story, BOTW and TOTK don’t deliver on that front.

              I liked BotW, I just can’t get into TotK. It’s like they took an okay thing, and heard all the complaints about that, then turned those into features. I wish I hadn’t downloaded it, at least if I’d gotten a physical copy I could get some money back.
