Yeah. And if we’re being honest, I don’t like the Season Pass nonsense. Oh yay, 2 extra tractors and a harvester that probably should’ve been in the base game.

I think FS19 was my “countless hours” version. I did like the FS22 improvements, but since all my mods didn’t work initially it felt like a step backwards.

I’ll probably wait for a sale.

And yeah, I’m not going to be upset that people don’t like the game. It’s not even my favorite game. Even I think it’s stupid sometimes. But for a relaxing turn my brain off and chill experience, it does that pretty well.

We could argue whether the updates and improvements are worth it, and that’s a valid argument, but you admittedly have never purchased it nor will you purchase it. And that’s fine. Enjoy something else, buddy :)

It’s not my favorite game but your post was so egregiously wrong I thought you must have known nothing about the game itself and just made bad assumptions.

3 years is quite a long time to iterate.

I cannot even shape my head around your comment here. In your head one year isn’t enough time to make any significant changes to a game but three years is quite a long time?

Anyway, you admitted you were wrong and/or lied and that’s enough for me.

It’s just the year of release or thereabouts. Lots of software does this, even without yearly release. Microsoft Office did it, for example. But it’s actually pretty common with simulation games. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Car Mechanic Simulator 2021. Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022.

It’s strange that EA has poisoned our minds about putting the year in the title from their obvious yearly slop.

Also, I don’t blame you for not liking the game. It’s not for everyone. Not like I’m going to be upset by that XD

Verifiably false. First of all, they don’t even release a game every year. Last one was Farm Sim 22. Before that it was 19.

There have been lots of gameplay additions from adding whole industries like logging and ranching to the game. Not to mention the graphics and physics improvements.

It’s not just reskinned crops and a number bump. But hey, this game clearly isn’t for you.

It’s not a yearly release. The last one was Farming Simulator 22, so it’s been three years. Before that it was 19, another 3 years.

I know it’s easy to hate on Farm Sim but yearly cash-grab releases is not one of them.

Laughs in TrueNAS

I saw my friend playing the beta and asked how it was going and he showed me a screenshot of it still compiling shaders.

GOTY contender /s

I never buy games before reviews but bought KSP2 early access. It was so bad I returned it less than four hours later. I joke they put more effort into the ads than the game itself.

I think what really confused me is that I saw a demo of KSP2 at PAX East several years ago. The game we got looked no different than that demo. I was like, wtf have they been doing all this time?

I don’t know about that. KSP has a mod that adds N-Body physics so it’s not some momumental obstacle.

This reminds me of the pumpkin carved with the tip screen… in other words absolutely horrifying.

Sony and completely unnecessary PSN login requirements. Name a more iconic duo.

It feels like we used to be spoiled for choice and now there’s only a few select titles out. A lot of racing franchises got ruined by micro-transaction garbage. Project Cars decided to go in an entirely different direction with their latest installment and basically ruined the game. Most games no longer support split screen so if you want to race locally with friends you basically only have Mario Kart.

There’s still games though. Forza, Gran Truismo, F1 24, Asseto Corsa, Need For Speed… But even so it feels like something is missing. There’s not a lot to fill in the Wipeout niche, or the Burnout niche. I miss random things like Midtown Madness and Twisted Metal. I really want a good racing combat experience again.

I think a lot of studios aren’t willing to take chances and a good racer isn’t something you can make easily since people want good graphics and excellent racing physics.

Oh… it’s got Denuvo… well, so much for that.

omg I’m kinda the same. I always need to know the consequences of every decision to try to get the best possible outcome. And then I get frustrated or annoyed with a game.

With LiS1, it came out as episodes so it wasnt possible to know the consequences of every decision beforehand and I was forced to make decisions based on limited information. This ended up leading to some happy surprises I probably wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

I’ve found that I tend to enjoy things a lot better if I just play it through blind at least one time. Trying to min-max everything has been a tough habit to break though.

Yes, that’s what I meant. True colors. Sounds like I’d enjoy it. As an aside, I did enjoy Before the Storm. And I did enjoy LiS2. Just that LiS2 wasn’t something I wanted to replay to try different decisions like I did with the other games.

I love LiS1 but found the second one to be… not as good. I just enjoyed the redoing time mechanic a lot more than telekinesis. I’ve yet to play the third one despite owning it. I should probably do that.

That’s a bad analogy. A door lock protects the user. A door lock can be left unlocked. DRM does nothing to improve the user experience and it frequently punishes paying customers. Even the best, least hated DRM will negatively affect legitimate users by its very nature. And Denuvo is one of the worst.

If you want to use the door analogy, it’s like every time you want to open the door you need to call the door company and give them the serial number that’s on the door to show that you bought an authentic door. And any one else trying to open your door can also give the number written on the door because the company only cares that it was a legally purchased door and not about protecting the user.

Wow, it’s like we’re not even playing the same game. All my stuff is out in the open with tall stacks of conveyor belts everywhere.

The amount of mental gymnastics required to make that statement is mind boggling.

Ah, yup. You are correct. For some reason I thought they came before.

I saw this Lemmy post and then bought Balatro and started playing it. Afterward I was browsing Lemmy, saw this post again, and was reminded I had more Balatro to play. I’m stuck in an infinite loop.

Sega Saturn and Dreamcast also probably factored in. They weren’t nearly as successful as the Genesis. With even established brands floundering it’s no wonder people didn’t think the Playstation would work.

I’m going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So… K for Kerbal Space Program.

Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I’d still get stuff like

• Knights of the Old Republic
• King’s Quest
• Killer Instinct
• Katamari
• Kingdom Hearts
• Killzone
• Kirby

Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.

Only 400? Those are rookie numbers!

Remember when Sony laid off a ton of Bungie employees? Talk about a series of bad decisions.

At least they’re giving refunds.
