Nothing can save bad writing. Everyone wants to make a Handler Walter, but not everyone can handle it.

Games are boring when nothing happens to the player. So lots of things happen to the player. You can consider this the MC’s time when months happen in days.

Its a fun sandbox roguelike with an actually explorable world on the surface. One thing that is dumb is theres no moon on shared worlds. So you can’t do anything with the Essences you find. The Works is still accessible though and getting to hell itself is always a fun challenge.

The steam version. You can just play it in the browser. Its was originally only that. So maybe the steam version is also a form of monetization.

I wish I could get into Warframe more but seeing all that to do just makes me shut down.

Web Fishing comes to mind for me. Idk if it even has monetization besides ads on the web page. It is rather rare though. Warframe was great but when I played leveling each piece of gear was too much for me. So it wasn’t even the monetization it was a game mechanic. Phenomenonal gameplay though. I wish it was more about that than leveling.

It does, and its not like F2P is inherently bad, it let’s a lot of people play who otherwise wouldnt be able to. But the monetization always sucks.

That would make sense but the descriptor is still not a good one. Admittedly it might be my ancient perspective.

40 dollar* they’re just adding twenty to everything.

Cassette Beasts just had a free update BTW.

Indie is the way to go moving forward.

Lmao premium? My ass. That doesnt mean anything. BG3 was “premium” because of the soul put into it. Is this game anywhere near that? Does it at least tell me I’m pretty for the “premium” price?

The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.

I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

That seems like a questionable move tbh

Yeah and this is just reinforcing the idea that its hard to make for me lol

It may be that way now. But it still sounds like at first they didnt account for much differentiation between the kitchen and the bathroom sinks if that was an issue they had for a while. Admittedly I haven’t played since Sims 2. But it was a problem when I was all into Making Magic.

Its not dish washing, its “Clean +4” or something. So it sounds like you’d either have useless bathroom sinks or people washing dishes in them from time to time with the decided upon architecture.

Thats an extremely cool design for this system to be honest. But it still sounds wildly complex even with all of it shifted away from the Sim and into the advertising objects. That washing dishes in the bathroom issue seems like it could very easily become a common problem if you aren’t paying attention to assigned advertising values. Which I’d imagine if you’d just match the bathroom sink value with the kitchen it might fix some of it, but not the ones who happen to walk by the bathroom with a dirty plate. So I still see why they aren’t more common. Thats a lot harder than say a platformer or something that we see a dime a dozen nowadays.

I hate that this isn’t just not wrong, its 100% accurate.

I’ve read its hard to make one of quality, with all the interactions that have to happen between systems and entities.

It just looks like staging to take it closed. This is just worse for the consumer any way you slice it.

Fucking RIP. Europe, throw us another sicc ass curve ball.

Pretty sure they use some google security features that breaks it on non-pixel devices.

We should. This is fucking bullshit exploitation.

Imitation is… the… greatest form… of… flattery… :|

33 Immortals just dropped

Its this game but with x is how we got most new genres.

Its a fun party game.

Rain World and its DLC Downpour are 50% off (just above 11 bucks)

I had to make my own Blood Angels death company stuff with just colors. NGL, I’m very skeptical about the best parts of this game not being completely backed apart for the 3rd round. Shareholders can’t resist selling us cosmetics. At least 2 let’s you mod it.

I’m so thankful for them. Love me some Blood Angels. But go back and look at the customization in SM1. It was an entire universe apart.

The issue is the customization. I dont know how everyone else feels but SM1 was better because we got to play dress up with any chapter we wanted pretty much. SM2 has a fraction of that. What it does have 80% is Ultra Marine focused.

I mean, can we go back to more SM1 than 2? I wanna play boi dress up with each chapter. Not just the Ultra Marines and other loyalists.

uncontrolled sobbing

I wonder if these can be imported. If its about the aesthetic of it in a retail ready box.

Could they fix the work profile contacts!? Jfc

Its kinda crazy this game is almost 20 years old already, and also how its still exactly as relevant as before.

Honestly any version but the GameCube one lol

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is great classic fun

Yeah I dont play these games anymore. Catch me on the Space Station 14, where we pretend to work for an evil corporation while having none (except Valve) involved.

Yeah you know what. Notice it. The staleness of the environment. The shiny plastic textures that almost want to distract you from what’s not there anymore. Environment complexity is forgone for a player card system. The Horde is ignored, it is now just treated as a generic hazard, in favor of league of legends champions basically. All for what? Monetization for the season pass. No wonder after the first play through I never came back. Yet, sometimes the boys still boot up L4D.
