I love it, but can’t get the keyboard to display on mobile


I still don’t like the combat system.

That fucked a lot of the game up, aside from the whole “releasing in parts across two console eras”



Racing gets me if I can fully customize my vehicle and the changes actually have meaning.



Yeah but you could say the same about a lot of people. Doesn’t mean it’s a “good movie” so much as a lot of people want to see that person in a thing and would pay regardless of what the thing is.

That’s the attitude that gives us the race to the bottom in creative work



I mean, it probably will be cheaper while also being a logical move for what could be a dope passion project.

Good movies don’t need big name actors to be good, they need a good story, good world, and a cast that can pull off the immersion with a director that knows how to harness it all together. Big name actors are just a draw and I would argue a lot of the time they don’t help so much as ruin immersion a bit.

Like in nineteen ninety-eight when the undertaker threw mankind off the top of hell in a cell.


I thought that was the way for them to say it was more of a passion project than a full AAA film. Like, when directors know the material and do a trial run of what their view is to test the waters for a massive sequel.

Also probably cheaper.




I’ll grab early access for either a new studio or a studio with a history of taking their early access to full completion so that there can be more options, but not for IP that’s in the hands of mega studios/ones with a long history or ones with a history of giving up on previous early access projects.

I got Valheim, Rust, and Raft all early access and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them as well as seeing how they have been developed since I don’t know much about game dev and it’s interesting to me. Kinda like watching plants grow.


Seems like it could be that they didn’t fix any of that and then decided to charge at least twice for the same experience. If it’s not expensive people will accept flaws, but if they have glaring flaws and decide to increase the cost that’ll piss people off. Or I could be wrong, I don’t know what every gamer that gives it a bad review is thinking unlike your illustrious self.


Mine’s probably nostalgia tinged but here goes: FFVII, VIII, IX, and X I love the setting, I love the mechanic changes between the series from materia giving various boosts in 7 to the actual spell slots changing stats in 8 and the summons in 9, and blitzball in 10. The story for each was unique in their own world ending way and beautiful to run through. I replay them probably once every three-five years or so but they mark a high point for me. Adding to the list, Demon’s Souls. I never fully understood the storyline behind it but the sequencing of zones around the central hub and the combat are some of my favorite aspects. I need another play on that soon… It would probably be a little weeby of me to take some life lessons from them but they did help me to understand that hard decisions sometimes have to be made that include personal sacrifice and doing things that are unpleasant in order to move everyone forward and up.


Sounds like they expect the current known bugs to take most or all of the time remaining to polish out, and they won’t be able to handle new ones found in beta. Definitely worrisome.


Honestly, classic wow got me back into it for those same reasons. I can barely play retail for the story, thankfully I already have a large guild of friends I’ve been playing with for years so we still have a micro community.



I pirated a few games and played them to death.

Then bought the steam copy when I had money to support a game I love, AS A GOOD PIRATE DOES. Of course I have no steam time recorded for it lol




I think only the third one does. The other two should be steam or standalone capable.


Are there mods for the second and third?
I played a shit ton of DA:O but only a few runs on the second and didn’t finish the third as I lost interest.


I still recall putting dark souls down for a solid couple months after being frustrated that I couldn’t beat the area after the first boss.

Because my dumbass thought that I was supposed to go through the graveyard with all the skeletons and got my shit handed to me repeatedly. Honestly made me love the game more when I realized there was a little path up to the right to go to the actual next area…


I mean, it’s already a standard trope in video game manga for there to be repeatable normal level quests and shared “main story” level quests that are one and done for the whole server. Seems like something they might implement here.


I’ve been on a private palworld server with about 10-14 people since launch. It’s been pretty fun so far and I love the mechanics but there’s a lot of fine tuning to do. You can climb most vertical surfaces, there are a whole lot of pal abilities that you unlock with crafted gear like electric hedgehog grenades and ice penguin rockets. Storyline is pretty short, you can usually complete it by level 13/50+. I’m interested to see what other story it will have or if people will mod their own in. Definitely worth the early access in my opinion.


Some sort of open world rust/fallout hybrid sounds about right.

With an annoying npc that keeps finding you to add mail.


Oh God, history is repeating itself. Quick, what was popular after Waterworld?


I dunno. They’re bragging about Warcraft reforged being a success and an example of them “listening to players”.


Does tribal wars count?

There was also one about forming your own country and passing laws and stuff but I don’t remember the name. It was out around 2002 or so


Lol lots of mistakes early on.

Did you know Bruce won’t fuck with the iron reinforced planks and you can build an inverted pyramid so your base floor can be smaller than your upper deck?

One of my friends used that to build a USS Enterprise model without worrying so much about iron consumption.


While the story isn’t super long, what I viewed as the main point of the game was discovering how to build my perfect boat and explore islands. I’ve played through at least once on story mode and now I’ll hop in with some friends for a fun coop build and explore mode that is easily as fun if not a little more than soloing the story.

Granted, I wouldn’t mind a patch with more storyline or a mmo for community raft building but those can be in the future if at all.
