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!

Lots of off topic comment threads so I don’t mind adding my own: going to make the Linux dive here soon and just had a general question on VR. I recently got a mostlySteam setup (sensors / controllers) with a Vive Pro 2 headset. Overall is VR supported? Is it limited to certain headsets? I was thinking of getting a Bigscreen Beyond 2, if that makes a difference. Any info appreciated.

I’ve thought this for well over a decade. Probably longer but I’m not going to do the math. Why the fuck do we have anti monopoly laws if they’re never enforced anymore? Is it because they found loopholes? Especially with media conglomerates and horrors like Disney walking the land.

As someone who loved Tarkov but just could not keep up with the PvP, thank you for this gem! Fully intend to pick this up. Grats on the solid launch!

Appreciate the info! Thank you!

So I’ve never played the Asetto game(s) but love me some rally. Are they decent? Also is this being a separate studio going to affect things?

Holy shit how long was that? A month? Max? Hopefully this serves as an example of how fucking stupid this is.

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

Didn’t know this was a thing and now I’m intrigued…

Right. This is the whole issue with these studies as the data is skewed. The only people getting into ‘wars’ are single brain cell fuckheads who can’t resist spewing rhetoric on a game store and/or associated forum. Normal users are using the platform as intended.

So some of the Steam reviews are pretty scathing on this game but I don’t understand the hate. It’s like a blend between Resident Evil and Dead Space. Basically combat isn’t primary, exploration is rewarded. The storytelling and voice acting is prime. Idk, I loved it and did a couple playthroughs without issue. New Game + makes it much more fun the second time through but even on first run as long as you’re prioritizing upgrading inventory and weap damage you shouldn’t have much issue.

It’ll probably be similar to 5 where there will be different areas but probably as separate map DLCs, at least that would be my guess. Would love to be proven wrong though.

I’m wondering if this was a case for greed or need. Were they in the hole and just trying to break even? Or did they think they had a sure thing? My issue with small indie companies taking on things like this is you could do a ton of creative marketing to drum up sales. ‘get 3 friends to buy a copy and we will give you 3 free months!’ or ‘buy the game at retail and get 6 months free’ idk, just seems dumb to shoot yourself in the foot right out the gate.

Yeah I feel like these stories are waaay too common. It’s crazy this shit is still completely unregulated. Just shows how our of touch our current political systems are.

If it ever releases. I’ve been dying for it to come out. Hope it’s worth the wait!

I make sure to comment every time this game goes on sale. This game is really well done, with a great story, and good lore finding if you’re into that. Well worth over $30 easy even with it’s age. Also if you’re an SCP fan this is the closest you have to a AAA title out there currently that does their own versions of SCP items. Again, killer game, highly recommend. Wish I could play it for the first time again.

I mean, typical boomer shit from an ignorant boomer. I’m not surprised at all.

Man I have really been riding the fence on dumping the money for Black Myth Wukong. You mind if I get your honest take? It worth full price?

The only reason I’ve heard of this game was because I bought ‘A Game About Digging a Hole’ and they VERY lightly advertised it in that game in the form of a couple posters. Probably the least invasive marketing I’ve experienced and got me interested since I enjoyed the previously mentioned title so much. Anyway, that little excerpt aside, excited to try the demo!

Oh man I hope they expand on grow home and grow up. Both fun little titles that my kids absolutely adore when they were younger.

Okay I guess, haha. Game does deserve it. I bought the game early on and it is insane how much content they added. I started up my old save and felt like I had an entirely new game to play again. It’s not ARK levels of complexity, but it’s pretty close.
