Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.

Cant go wrong with Grim Dawn. One of the best modern arpgs with regular huge updates, expansions and modding support.

Im familiar with the mod, but its a mod, the game was designed to be played the way you always balancing on a knives edge. So not much time to enjoy the content (for me at least), when you have constantly ticking clocks reminding you to hurry up.

Ist too bad Xcom games are so focused on time limits. I know it meant to add to the tension but its just frustrating to me to non-stop rush everything.

Loved the trailer, even though the first game was “only” a 7/10 for me. Regardless looking forward to this, Obsidian is making great games consistently.

If the main menu music will be only half as good as the original Im sold :D

I’M GONNA PUT MY PAIN INTO YOUR SOUL! (Krieg, BL 2)

Same. Since the Win 11 update on my work laptop I got so fed up with the OS, that I installed Linux on both of my desktop PC and my wifes laptop. Zero regrets, no more MS bullshit on my personal stuff.

I know it will fail but I really hope it will fail big time to accelerate the dowfall of this soulless corporate piece of shit company.

They lost me at “new muliplayer shooter” and “early access”

We knew it 10 years ago, we know it now, how is this news to anyone consuming online digital content?

Its just not sustainable for my adult life to log in to whatever live service trash daily and compete agains faceless humans, who have more free time and advantage against a casual player.

Also the state of live service games is pure trash for decades now. Everything needs to be a copy of the 3 most popular titles with some kind of rpg progression and cosmetic items for real world money.

Agree, also the franchise fatigue is strong with this one.

Hey Randy, show us a magic trick and fuck off!

Wasnt it already a PS+ game years before epic? It literally had millions of players on day one.

I dropped it after my steam copy first time asked me to register an epic account, but till then I didn’t see huge issues with the game apart from the DLC milking.

From the previews and reviews it reminds me of AC Origins/Odyssey with SW theme. For some reason I can’t get excited for these type of games anymore.

Thank you I love you for the link!

Textbook capitalism. Ruin Game Pass pricing with CoD, to boost some sub numbers “for a while”. Short term profit, to please those execs!

Steams discover queue + Splattercat on youtube for indie games.

Left a review on Steam in 2014, its time to update lol

In total?

You are right, just checked it and its not there anymore. I downloaded it many months ago :(

In my experience the relatively small selection of the F-droid store is full of these type of games.

Troll patrol

Sudoku

Unciv

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Pirate Solitare

…just to name a few All full versions, no ads or premuim options. Love F-droid, its a shame the selection is quite small.

I will always disagree with the “its optional” reasoning.

In this case they are technically selling a shortcut to their own game. This means the game either have some boring and straight up tedious mechanics on purpose, to annoy people or its shit. In both cases its a bad game design and people who will buy the fast travel MTX would want to skip certain parts of the gameplay - in this case backtracking or travelling in general.

I am a huge fan of the first game, but repeating the fast travel shenanigans on purpose, after so many years of feedback from fans is just corporate greed 101.

After the announcement I thought DD2 will be a day 1 purchase, but Im glad I waited and from the looks of it I will continue to wait for a few more years for a complete edition for 20 USD or just not play it at all.

Agree 100%. Also if I remember correctly there was a case of over promising and not delivering. So part of the negativity from the community had a very valid reason.

…and we all know the wraith of the internet.

I bought the game in early access and saw how it become from one of the most promising arpgs to a bandwagon of hate and negativity. While it has many problems, I don’t think it deserve all the hate it received.

The game itself is pretty cool imho, however it had a catastrophic launch with lots of server issues for online characters, multiplayer problems and some bugs, causing a negative review tsunami. To make things worst the devs were kind of slow to resolve the issues and released the patches only when they reputation already took a hit.

I can not comment on the multiplayer/hardcore min/max builds and late game stage of the game. As far as I can tell there were some complaints on those fronts as well. I mostly play arpgs alone.

With this in mind, if you like the genre and not planning to play with friends I think its still a pretty entertaining title, nice graphics and decent build variety.

Thanks for the info!

Sure, edited it.

It can directly affect how many people will buy the game in the future on PC. Might not be a huge number, and maybe it look like kids throwing a tantrum, but as long as it takes out any ammount of money from MS pocket Im all for it.

Edit: nevermind, its positive reviews, I did not pay attention.

Guys! This is it! The announcement of the announcement just dropped!

Left a steam review for the game in 2014, never imagined it will take a decade for it to release.

My thoughts exactly

Why people trying to help Bethesda? They are a shitty company and Starfield deservs to have many negative reviews.

Do not buy buggy, uninteresting games and hope the community will improve them, so years later you can have a playable half decent product. Do not encourage big companies into thinking this kind of business practice is viable. Vote with your wallets people.

Cool thank you

Tribes 3 Rivals

Early access release date March 12

I am trying to vote with my wallet and not buy any Ubisoft games at all if possible. The last AC I enjoyed was Black Flag, but still didn’t finish it.

So my whole rant is not that I cannot live without the DLCs, but the shitty business practise of selling them like this.

Its more about DLCs, then microtransactions but the two are very similar.

Okay lets say its a Steam Sale and they have publisher highlights. Lets saaay…Ubisoft or EA or one of these big corporate publishers.

Huuuge banners::Sale up-to 85% off

So since I am a patient gamer I start browsing and look at some 8-10 years old AAA titles I didn’t bother to pay full price for at relese. Like some older AC, Ghost Recon, or something for under 10 EUR/USD. Cool, then you click on it and what I see?

THATS ONLY THE FUCKING BASE GAME!?!?!! They still sell 3 premium editions with the DLCs and the one with all the content is something like 25-30 EUR/USD. With 85% off. So the full price is still something like 100+ EUR/USD. Fuck this artificially inflated price, I’m not paying that much for a decade old fucking game.

While other publishers roll all content into a complete edition or even release free remasters with all content included for considerably lower price for their older titles these greedy fuck publishers still trying to sell us exclusive content from a decade ago. Fucking boils my blood.

That ricochet arrow in the dark, hmmmmm. Perfection!

You sure we are talking about the same game? Lvl 4 can be achieved during the first map within 10 min in Last Epoch

By default there are some texture issues, switching to Proton GE resolved everything.
