The older I get, the less I want to learn new competitive games because I just don’t have time anymore. It’s just nice to go back to something familiar every now and then.

They are legally separate entities, but why should that affect customers?

Because they are not doing it because of customers, they are more likely doing it for themselves. It’s easier to manage things on a corporate level when the data is also separated similarly as their companies are.

My guess is that they just want to separate GOG and their game accounts from each other because they are easier to manage that way. I think in legal sense GOG is still a separate corporate entity even though it’s owned by CD Projekt.

What even happened to New World? It seemed like a relatively popular game when it came out, but then just disappeared.

I always found it kinda sad that Destiny has a lot of lore, but if you are a new player / returning player you can’t experience the lore that you have missed because it’s just removed from the game.

There was probably some pressure as the game was in development for a really long time it got already delayed by almost a year, but I also feel like it has a lot of design choices which aren’t great. The development started right after Fallout 4, so I feel like 8 years of development is a pretty long time and if it had to be rushed out, there had to be some management problems. Feature creep is probably what especially happened, because there are so many game mechanics and features that don’t really have good impactful use cases.

Not to spoil anything, but the story and lore is pretty meh. There’s really no real sense of exploration like I have felt in Elder scrolls or Fallout. There’s just too many loading screens all the time (This is probably an engine limitation, but something that should have been realized in the early phase of development. Probably not really something you can change later). There’s a lot of sidequests, but most are just boring without a real story behind them.

The AI is just dumb and once you play for a while, the battles just doesn’t challenge you in any way even on higher difficulties. The outpost system just doesn’t make sense. It’s not like there’s not enough features in the outpost system, it just doesn’t make sense to use it properly. The stealth system often doesn’t make sense and is not useful in any way.

And to not to end it too negatively, I still liked the game. It’s just frustrating because I see so many potential game mechanics around me while playing that don’t really make sense to use.

Gnabry just standing alone

Gonna be so weird seeing him in a Bayern shirt
