Not sure if it’s on sale but Creeper World is a super unique tower defense style game. The 4th one just came out.

Edit- meant 5th one just came out

I swear the next headline is going to be like ex devs of pong to make a new game.

I’m getting so jaded by all these ex dev new game posts.

It’s just about to happen.

Oh wow I hadn’t heard about this. Please don’t.

I think it’s a solid hit. Teamup mechanic is really interesting and actually impacts the match. Team rosters feel more flexible vs OW where specific counters are needed in most cases. I think the art style is a huge win too. It’s consistent across animation, static images, charachter design etc. They didn’t just use existing assets. Microtransactions aren’t shoved in your face. And I love how the battlepass let’s you pick and choose what you want.

Balancing characters will take time, there’s some QoL things I’d like to see, and the crashes need fixing, but really solid out the gate.

This should have been stated day one.

It’s still hollow until they actually do something, but it’s the least they should have done.

Xdefiant was pretty solid. I enjoyed it up until a couple months ago. I think it didn’t put out enough new content for most gamers though.

I haven’t, but strongly considering mods on a restart knowing what some limitations are.

I’m in the last tier, nuclear power, but I am extremely choked on computers right now. I’m a spaghetti mess and considering a restart to be more organized.

I don’t like souls like games. I LOVED Elden Ring. It was the exact balance of controller destroying and fun.

Satisfactory, Black Ops 6 (yeah yeah) Zelda echoes of wisdom

This was me. I eventually bounced around games and tried Satisfactory, a game type I never thought I’d like. Now it’s my new meth and daddy needs his fix.

Your not wrong. I worked for the company, and we were told that it wasn’t actually true like 6 months after launch. I had been communicating it for .o the to my clients.

Didn’t Alien Insurrection use something to learn how you play so the Alien knew to change it’s tactics?

Don’t forget that soundtrack too.

Balatro - Even if roguelike isn’t your thing, try it

Alan Wake 1/2 & Control- if you love creepy atmosphere

Superliminal - unique 1st person puzzle, think portal vibe

Bastion - 1st game from Supergiant, best smash-em-up I’ve ever played

Anything Supergiant for that matter

Right? Like there are 48 Assasins Creed games, sequels are their bread and butter.

I’m going to be that guy and probably end up with downvotes. Brave browser. I know Eich is a shitbag but damn the browser is really solid. Adblocking and privacy are front and center and built in, no addons needed. I can think of maybe 5 times in the years I’ve used it that I had to use a backup browser.

I would like to use something else to not support him, but I have yet to find a turnkey browser that doesnt require tons of addons, compatibility issues or the quality of syncing across platforms that Brave.

I just didn’t want to make a blanket statement since I didn’t know if it was every title or not.

Yeah, you’re just flat wrong. MAYBE GoG has the least worst licensing around. A decent number of titles I’ve seen on there don’t have DRM. Also itch.io and direct patreon/kickstarter purchases too. Any other platform, and unless specifically stated, you are just borrowing the game until they decide otherwise.

He’ll, even physical purchases don’t guarantee a game forever, the publisher or dev may turn off a server that just straight kills it.

It’s a pretty solid shooter. I hate to see it fade too quickly.

I mean, just the trailer became the highest viewed youtube video in 24 hours, which is not music. I’d say it’s highly anticipated.

Yeah, you have to define affordable. For some, that’s $300, others $3000.

Quick answer is just go to pcpartpicker.com and look at other people’s builds for your budget.

Bang for your buck… Just go midrange AMD cpu, don’t worry about core count. Most games aren’t cpu bottlenecked like they used to be.

Motherboard, just grab a reliable brand, don’t overspend.

16gb ram, speed won’t matter much and it’s not that much more than 8gb.

1tb m.2 ssd drive. You can always get more storage later

Cheap case, good quality power supply probably 600 watt would get 90% use cases.

Don’t forget to budget for windows or use Linux if you go that path, your monitor, mouse/keyboard, speakers or headphones.

After all that, than buy the highest end graphics card left in your budget.

This is one of those things where you only need a couple of idiots to buy it, and you’ve made a tidy profit.

I’m shocked they didn’t swap to free to play to at least see if that gate was the issue with player count.

My question, are they bolstering Deadlock, or is this something new?

I was an og GW player. I hadnt played GW in like 15-20 years? I came into GW2 just 2 months ago and was overwhelmed at first with everything an old mmo adds over the years. I finally found the play groove and we are all enjoying it, even the ones still playing WoW. So much so I might grab the living story addons.

I was just about to say. My friends wanted something to just mess around in, and I had no idea it was still as popular as it is.

I wasn’t a fan. It’s still too much like a moba to break through genres. I am curious if it will eat into Dota’s fan base, or bring more people?

Yeah, as much as I want it to be real, they have clearly stated that there are assets from previous games as placeholders. The interesting part is them changing the name of the suit, but not holding my breath at all.

Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.

This is a good point, a lot of people just assume plugging it in gets the hz, but a lot of the time you have to select the hz in your settings.

I’ll post here if anyone feels generous with a key.

I recently got this game, and wow, what a time sucker. FINALLY won my first run yesterday. I’ve played a fair share of rogue likes, but this one really does feel fresh every game.

Next week: lays off 20% of workforce.

There is still literal story content behind a paywall. Just load the game and see for yourself.

Double tank was such a pain in the ass. The new tanks were built to solo tank. It will require an almost 100% tear down and rebuild to get back to 6v6.

There was actual game content locked behind a paywall.

I sail the high seas from time to time, and I think I’ve bought Stardew 3 times now. It is an incredible game loop, and I will support the dev however I can.

Wasn’t the Paradox one canceled too?
