That’s steam but the games I’ve put the most time into are:
Minecraft, must be over 10k hours.
Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, pretty sure over 10k hours combined.
There’s surely some game I’m forgetting right now, just woke up.
There are also several mobile games I must have put thousands of hours into over the years.
The ai isn’t the biggest problem IMO, it’s the balancing of things. Even many easy early-game enemies are absolute bullet sponges and can kill you in 3-4 hits. The whole game right now is just finding ways to cheese every encounter, which doesn’t feel good.
And both buying stuff and repairing things is so ridiculously expensive that it’s impossible to keep up.
It feels like they didn’t do much playtesting of the actual game at all, more like they tested specific things in exclusivity.
I play games too much, so I’ll categorise them:
New ones I’ve finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws
Not new ones that I’m currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max
Not new ones that I’m currently playing that I’m unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory
Ones I’ve played for some time and won’t stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft
I’m absolutely loving it, it’s unbelievably gorgeous and the gameplay is fun.
My only real complaint is that I’m the story is too short, I was so surprised when the “this is the end mission, you’ll be locked out of the rest of the game until this is finished” warning popped up, I thought I was only halfway there. So I’ve put that on hold and I’m now fully exploring everything else. I really hope they make several big expansion for it, with new planets etc.
Pretty sure it didn’t. The website says October 15th, and their link to the PlayStation store also shows that:
I basically lived D2 from Beyond Light to right before Lightfall, loved my time with it but it was too costly with all the full-price expansions, season pass shit etc. just to be able to access a lot of the game. And I was weary of Bungie during that whole time and finally decided to boycott them and the game (and future ones unless they change).
I started playing Warframe about three months ago and absolutely love it, it’s so nice never feel like I HAVE to pay to do anything. Very few things are locked behind having to pay with real money, I think only some skins are. The devs are also very communicative with the players and listen to the community way more than most others. It’s not perfect of course, but the issues aren’t shitty and greedy devs, it’s mainly that some things aren’t fully explained in game and stuff has changed so much over the years that many guides, tutorials and tips you find online don’t really apply anymore. But I’ve got a good grasp of most of the game now and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon, currently at 550+ hours and there’s so much more to do, and more on the way.
No one is playing it because it’s very “meh”, but it has absolutely been widely advertised and also talked about a lot (for being not so good).
I really doubt any of you who replied here saying you haven’t heard about it ever interact with gaming journalism and community. It has been just as visible as most other AAA games.
It’s like you’ve used each thing once in some specific game where it was badly implemented and decided that’s how it looks in all games.
There is no objective “it looks like this”, every game does things slightly or very differently. I’m certain you are unusually blind to detail, have serious vision problems, or you’re just very good at convincing yourself of your own bad ideas.
Not at all IMO. I love Starfield and few of the reasons people give for it being bad are objective or even true. It is a great game but people misunderstand it and get mad about it not being what they want. And so much of the hate is just pure stupidity and ignorance. People not understanding basic concepts and how things work.
Core Keeper, I’ve known about it for a while but never really looked into it, tried it out and it’s much better than I thought it’d be! Basically Terraria with a top down view, really fun.
