Ok, so I love JC3. I still play it. I was playing it on Monday in fact. It's one of those games that I just keep coming back to. I enjoy liberating cities and outposts and whatnot, but it's the flying that I go back for. I can spend hours listening to music and just flying around. 260 hours on PC alone (I've probably played more than that on PS), and I've never finished the campaign.

Removing Denuvo is great, and I'm on board... but for the love of all that is good and holy: CLOUD SAVES!!!! Having to restart every time I reinstall it is WHY I've never finished the campaign.

    You delete your saves with the game? But why?

    If they are on Linux, Steam automatically deletes the Windows prefix every time you uninstall a game. So any game without cloud saves, has their save games deleted if you don't back them up separately (e.g. via Ludusavi).

    Ah, Steam proton. They could just point the drive_c/users/steamuser/<dir> symlinks to $XDG_DATA_HOME instead. But considering that the "use XDG dirs" issue is unanswered for years now...

    I will be very upsetti spaghetti if my private directories become a dump for game data like they were on Windows.

    They are already, Proton has at least My Documents to ~/Documents symlinked. And there's .config/unity3d/

    • DefaultCompany
    • Hikkeiru
    • Klei
    • Ludeon Studios
    • Payload
    • Squad
    • Team Bieno
    • Team Niche
    • Unknown Vendor (the fuck?)

    And some more somewhere else.

    Damn, you're right. I suppose as long as they stay in ~/.config and out of ~/Documents I'll be happy. Now that I'm actually looking the only offender there on my filesystem is Kitten Space Agency. It created a ~/Documents/My Games/. They should rename it to Kitten Whitespace Agency.

    4 is actually pretty fun too. Have you played the DLC with the jetpack and weather weapons?

    Yep, played 4. I didn't think it deserved the hate it got on release, but I do remember thinking it was kinda meh. I played it pretty early on though. Apparently it's had a lot of work done since then so I should probably give it another go. I think I just like the location of 3 better. Greek island vibes are nicer than a dark jungle/desert/tundra imo.

    I've also played the DLC, but honestly could take them or leave them. I like the skill involved in staying on the wingsuit, and the jetpack kinda ruins that. As for the mechs, meh. They're fun, but not really why I'm there.

    You might be the first person who liked it. Did you not play 2?

    Imo 2 was just a little too rough compared to 3. I never finished 2, but I moved right onto 3 when it came out and I had a blast.

    Oh man, I replayed it after your comment and JC3 really is so fucking good. I was thinking of 4, which ruined everything
