Yup. Completely agree. It’s still relatively easy to meet people in say MMORPGs, but that isn’t for everyone. I used to love PvP games, especially the BF franchise but it’s just not the same anymore when they skill set you every match and it’s just chaos until the round ends.

One of the biggest issues I have with online currently is that Corps run it from the ground up. It used to be if you wanted you could host a server or pay for one to be hosted, set game mechanics how you’d like, hell even run mods. You could then find like minded individuals and form clans and have a blast. Now you’re forced into their model, and if it fails well fuck you. I would have LOVED for Anthem to be successful. The gameplay that was there was amazing, just undercooked. Knowing the insanity of individuals when they’re passionate about something, I have no doubt this game would have been more successful if they’d released private servers and modding tools.

Ah, my bad. Didn’t spot it. Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed 4 and 5 and have a soft spot for Japan so I’m excited. By the way couldnt get to the link you posted. Not working, sticks on a verification page. Also for something this simple it would have been nice to have the screenshot just include the mistake date? Not really a reason to read a whole article but maybe I’m just being picky.

If you’re looking for good titles to acquire through GoG I’d recommend Cyberpunk 2077. Game goes on sale pretty regularly but is 100 percent worth it at full price. That is of course if you’re into FPS. I could gush about it but I’ll leave this short haha.

Sorry to hear that. I’m speaking from experience when I’m telling you it gets better. I got ganked probably a handful of time and since then haven’t run into them. I’m telling you you should really give it a shot again. It may have been this was instated after you gave up as I’m not sure when it was put into place.

Same here. It has seriously been an amazing game I’ve played the shit out of strictly based on that. Now if they’d adjust the blueprint drop rate a bit…I’d be ecstatic.

This I HARD agree on. Non-optional resets / wipes in Tarkov got tedious as fuck, especially redoing the quest lines over and over. It’s super nice they make it optional.

Honestly by what I’ve seen and heard it’s minimum reward for a whole lot of effort. I guess it’s great for no lifers, kids, and streamers but idk, just no real draw. Especially with how crazy low drop rates are for blueprints. I have a ton of hours and still don’t have everything.

I swear to god this game is my biggest lament of the last 10 years. It had so much potential and they royally fucked it up from day 1. What was released was amazing but then it was quickly found there were game breaking issues that literally broke core gameplay due to how gear calculations were done. Not like a ‘oh let’s patch this’ but like ‘jesus Christ this is broken at the foundation’ type. It was also released way too early. They literally had time gated bullshit just to try and slow players down so they wouldn’t burn through content too quickly. Anyway, my rant aside what was there was glorious and I hope at some point we get a spiritual successor because damn was it fun and DAMN was it beautiful.

Just to save people a click it’s $25 to get the collection, so approx $3.50ish each for 7 titles? I can speak to Trepang II, solid game, but can’t speak to the others. The first Dead Island was fun.

And nothing of value was lost.

Too bad the company is in the shitter. More power to them though! Who knows, maybe they’ll turn things around.

Man this trailer fucking THREW me. At first I thought the man that was chained and the celebration were separate, then was like ‘oh! Classic pagan wicker man, cool’ then the dudes fucking back burst open and oh my fucking god I’m def on board

Appreciate the insight! Thanks!

I am so god damned excited it’s finally happening. Expanding on the lore from the first, with new environments, new weapons, bringing the brother in because the sister is missing…just…fuck man I don’t want to wait. For those who haven’t played it: Control Ultimate Edition is currently on sale. 100 percent recommend that game over and over.

Wait what? So is it a Divinity game in the same universe but will be a different genre? I’m confused…

Hunger/thirst aside anyone want to comment on how absolutely ridiculous that creature design is?? How the hell would that thing EVER get through a forest, lmao

Uhh…cool? How the fuck is this news? Or relevant? Or even interesting??

Bro you NEED to go back and finish it, and DEF play the DLCs as well. Fucking amazing game.

Oh this is cool! So a city manager type but you’re building out the city with floating junk found in the water. I like it.

I get the verbiage needs to be accurate but I doubt they’re cancelling it completely, they’re just cancelling with that particular studio because of their use of AI slop, right? Not that this is high on my list or something, just a shame if this is the last we hear of the game.

It really is fucking obnoxious. I do understand in some instances where there’s some really cool font an ARTIST made but this obviously not the case. Just some snivelling pencil pushers that found a way to game the system and fuck people over.

Owning literal letters has got to be the dumbest shit I’ve heard in my life. Fucking leeches.

Yeah that’s the issue with most of these suggestions and why they’re being tagged as ‘standardization’ make it a requirement. I fully realize my suggestion though is a bit more work and probably will never happen ha.

Same do it some don’t. Standardization would be great! I personally HATE when a game pauses when I tab to something else but I can see the benefit for others.

I mean, in the same vein, just have age rating settings on games where applicable. Sometimes I want as much adult in my adult game as possible, other ones I want just good old fashioned fun. Overall I want sensorship to fucking quit it. Especially lately where they’re going back to games that were developed one way and sensoring them when they do HD remakes. Fucking stupid

Fucks sake this for me. Why the fuck there isn’t standardization between games on this is beyond me. I have to go through fucking with mouse sensitivity on every damn game. This is part of the reason I died out of multiplayer tbh.

I cannot name the amount of times I’ve tried to press escape and skipped a cut scene when all I’m trying to do is bring up the menu to pause. I’ll add to this ‘cinema mode’ which some games have. Let’s you go in and view cutscenes again. Should be standardized.

I vote you play Control next! Challenge mode: Dyson Sphere Project

And nothing of value was lost.

Oh was it a research vessel? Maybe that was part of the outrage is they just assumed he was buying a yacht? Now I’m interested in what type of research it’s doing.

It looks phenomenal, but I’m trying to figure out what type of gameplay this is. The Steam page states it’s Single Player, but also online PvP and CoOp as well. So is it something that’s like GTFO but you can play against other squads optionally? I definitely like the gritty art / cyberpunk aesthetic to it. Graphics and destroyable environs look pretty well done too.

Heck yes man SPT made me fall in love with that game again. Amazing work by their community.

Escape from Duckov is arguable as it’s single player, as well. I’ll have to check out Zero Sievert.

The 3rd one never took itself seriously. They knew it was a last hurrah and went over the top intentionally. There’s a dubstep gun ffs. They were there for the ride not storytelling.

Yup I was thinking of another game, you’re absolutely correct.

The Cycle yes, but an extraction shooter is defined as a game you loot items that you then extract with to use in future runs or sell. Hunt and Helldivers doesn’t have that mechanic at all.

‘One of the biggest’ You mean ‘one of the only’? Extraction shooters aren’t common that I’m aware of unless I’m out of the loop. The only big one before this I was aware of was Tarkov.

Thanks!
