I mean, the game has been out for over a year. They probably kept it the previous way for more challenge / engagement for streamers or something. I’m glad they’re introducing it, and will probably reinstall and start playing it again. I’m also glad they’re actually trying to release some actual content, even though it’s just a variation of the same gameplay. The customization options they offered for runs was good as well, but just wasn’t enough to get me hooked again. Hoping this will.
Idk, the games used to take the GTA theme and crank it up to 11. They profited off of being as ridiculous and over the top as possible. By what I saw of the newest installment it seemed to take itself too seriously? I got the game for free when I got my last graphics card, installed it, and it just didn’t hook me at all. It’s like they were trying to appeal to too wide of an audience instead of keeping to its roots and making it obscene and over the top. Maybe I’m just nostalgic and those games arent going to happen anymore.
Dude the ads on menu shit is horrific. I loaded up DOOM 2016 the other day and literally the menu, in the fucking game, is a selector between the game I installed and a selector for DOOM Dark Ages that I don’t own. What the fuck. This is why I hate games being always online even if strictly multiplayer. That game is damn near a decade old and theyre shoving updates to it just in hopes of sales. /rant
Always appreciate your posts man! Thanks for taking time out of your day to add content to Lemmy! I have a question: I’ve played Control which references Alan Wake and the story definitely piqued my interest. I do own the first but haven’t played it. At this point should I play the first before the second? Or just go with the second one?
I think the disconnect has to do with old gamers vs new. Old gamers were used to getting one game every 6mo to a year. New gamers are looking for a variety of that or short bangers. Idk I somehow fall between. I can play a long game as long as it comes in digestible amounts where I can easily drop it and pick it back up. All I know is ‘AAA’ type studios are out of touch as fuck. Only game I can think of in recent memory that was long and checked all the boxes would be God Of War. Horizon Zero Dawn as well. Coincidentally both ports from PS but I’m PC.
Honestly this game was/is pretty close to a 10/10 for me. If you have any interest in SCPs Control is probably the best ‘triple A’ title to associate various SCPs into it’s lore and story. Even if you’ve never heard of SCPs the storyline in Control is unique and very, very well done. It’s obviously a gorgeous game as well, if you can’t tell from OPs screenshots. It’s been out long enough at this point you can usually grab it for cheap on sale, or as another poster mentioned it’s free on Epic currently? Haven’t verified that though
STARBOUND!!! Dude you’re the only ever person I’ve run into. That was one for the first games I supported in Early Access and hold a special place in my heart. I somehow lost my original save on that game and was utterly devastated. At some point I’ll go do another run bit damn did that hit me hard. I had countless bases, my shop was so decked out. Ugh.
I feel you man. It’s few and far between where there’s a game you can easily drop / pick up on a whim with limited time. The only one that comes to mind would be Powerwash Sim but Infully realize that’s not for everyone. Wish I wasn’t so exhausted I’d go try to pull a list for you. Maybe Cult of the Lamb? Anyway, hardcore Minecraft fan myself. Consider it one of my fave zen games. Enjoy man! Merry Christmas!
I feel like mods should be protected like ‘right to repair’. I know that seems a bit extreme but seriously, these people devote their time to create insane content, more often than not for free. I played Oblivion for hundreds of hours just because there were sooooo many mods for it. ARK is another example.
