This was a great demo for AC2. But a little too long for a demo, should have been just one city.

We might be entering the schooner territory here.

I don’t think so. But can’t be sure.

There’s really only 1 RC Helicopter mission in VC. And IMO the RC Plane mission is much harder. In general, there’s a lot of jank in VC, but the vibes are unbeatable. I agree, SA is the better game hands down, while VC is a better experience.

I kind of hated GTA IV when it came out because it was such a downgrade from SA, and I didn’t really care for the story. But I started replaying it recently and appreciate it more. I’ll eventually get to the DLCs. I liked Tony from GTAO, so that’s a good sign that I’ll enjoy them.

When it was released, SA was also my favorite by far. But with time I noticed I replay VC more than SA, likely because of the vibes. But yes, SA is a correct answer, too.

Top-down isn’t a good perspective for a driving game, IMO. I just don’t like not seeing where I’m driving.

I started with GTA2, but Vice City is the best GTA.

I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

Both will happen.

🤞. Hopefully it’s just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

I didn’t know there was an English equivalent of “да нет, наверное”.

I wasn’t talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.

But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

I gather you like to move it move it?

Can we all please admit that we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides? (Except maybe some special cases, like RTS) It’s a glorified typewriter, and we (PC gamers) use it only because at some point, it was all that we had and we just got used to it. There must be something better than a panel of buttons.
