I mean this is pretty standard fare for any gamers, anywhere. But I’m sure this question is being asked in good faith :)

Do they consider frostpunk a “story rich game”? If that’s what all story rich games were like, I’d play more of them - most of them feel like cereal box toys, and I’d generally prefer just reading a book so the subpar gameplay isn’t all I’ll remember.

What’s giving you trouble? Combat just takes some getting used to, but you also need to recognize when you’ve got too much heat and bail - you walk faster than the zombies, after all. Walk into the woods, do a big loop, and come back out with maybe 3-4 zeds still on your tail.

3 was great, 4’s biggest improvement was functional multiplayer. I have core memories of hunting every animal that moved from the side of a gyrocopter piloted poorly by a very inebriated bud.

Not sure why they bothered including a quit game button, that’s my biggest gripe

Can second dyson sphere project. It’s a variant on factorio that doesn’t sacrifice the factory part of the factory game for story and exploration, something that always makes me bounce off satisfactory.

I need it explained to me how this wouldn’t cover “throwing a net”. Don’t see how you can get away with patenting a real life action with an uber vague patent.

You could argue against anything involving throwing a net to capture something, like monster hunter for the small fauna. Ark has “cryo pods” that function basically like pokeballs.

I would gladly sacrifice the entire concept of storytelling in video games for even something as small as “no more forced stealth”.

How greedy of the man, to checks notes admit to not wanting to make a cash grab and instead leaving the series unfinished because they didn’t think they could do it justice.

As much as I hate being a corporate shill: ask yourself this. Is the game worth the asking price with no DLC? You don’t have to buy every DLC, that’s just the cost of the additional game development time. And maybe the game isn’t worth the price now, but in two years you can probably pick it and a few of the best DLCs up for the same price as it is now and get your money’s worth.

Souls games are literally just rhythm games. 90% of boss fights are watching for when the enemy commits to moving forward and pressing the roll button, once they stop for a bit, give em a tickle. Repeat until god is dead.

Sun haven was a pleasant experience. Rather than automating farming, I just cause earthquakes and rainstorms to plow and water respectively. My only complaint is my thumb hurting from constantly air dashing around.

Ubisoft as a company deserved to fail though. It sure sucks for the poor bastards working there but something tells me the tune would be a lot different if this was just another round of layoffs.

Why does the announcement date matter compared to the actual day pay increases?

It doesn’t though. It doesn’t even need to mean more than half, it means more than anything else. If there are 8 groups of 10 and 1 group of 20, the last group has the most members.

Please keep behavior far away from fromsoft thanks

Lmao okay so you had a skill issue and got salty, got it.

Tedious: too long, slow, or dull; tiresome or monotonous

I think what you were going for was challenging and/or punishing. The first game explicitly has ends to each city type, and I certainly wouldn’t describe watching the city steam a man alive to get the people to tolerate you putting sawdust in their food “dull”

It’s a shame you can’t support nintendo’s developers while excluding their legal department. Oh well, the high seas mean I still get to enjoy what I want to

Why? The padding is there for those with the stomach for it, but you can just… play a new game once you’ve stopped having fun?

Youtube itself is the reason everybody uses these headlines. If they don’t title their videos like a 4 year old, you don’t see it. Simple.

If my experience is anything to go by, you mug everybody you see, steal everything in their wallet to “identify them”, interrogate them while vomiting drunk in their apartment, and maybe solve a murder or two on accident.

It deeply saddens me that, as a hot garbage fire, Ark is still the best dinosaur game for years.

I hope and dream for the day somebody makes the clausewitz engine look like the fucking dinosaur it is. I initially hoped it would be paradox but any loyalty to them has been squandered years ago.

I would love for them to bring back places like the Bell Towers in DS2. Does elden ring even have a mirror knight type boss that can summon people?

Snipers, famously useless in real life due to ballistic physics.

As someone that couldn’t get into modern fallout games, but actually loved going back to 1 and then 2, this just sounds like 2 but worse.

Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?

Maybe the fact you assumed it was specifically more negative because it was tencent says something else 🤔

As someone who’s played their fair share of assorted DnD systems, 5E has a number of issues that really hold it back. For instance, you’re not really supposed to long rest between every fight, but how do you tell players that without a proper DM? It’s a very weak mechanic that’s apparently too iconic to have just axed.

Don’t get me wrong, 5E works better at what it’s supposed to - easily accessible and relatively low math tabletop roleplay. But a computer can do so much more.

Ah, the age old “welp, the only people that stuck with us through all the bullshit clearly have zero standards or expectations, no point in improving anything”

Uh huh, and I’m sure you’re privy to the exact financial breakdowns?

If someone could actually provide a better service than steam at a better price point, they would. The epic games store is shit, uplay is shit, origin is shit.

I actually kinda like his note to not read the patch notes, just experience it on a new save. I can’t say I’ve ever done that, but it sounds kinda nice as someone who usually struggles to not speedrun these kinds of games.

A company that grows 1% every year will always have “record profits”. It’s a fun buzzword to throw around, but there’s better injustices to focus on, like the lack of CEOs getting sacked or facing a reduction in compensation.

Sure! That’s part of due diligence. But in case you’re still convinced it’s some big conspiracy, just look at Valve. Valve has a proven track record of doing whatever they can to NOT fuck with Nintendo’s legal team. You think they didn’t make sure the game was square?

A small but vocal subset of turbovirgins loudly denouncing it for plagiarizing pokemon, who even the pokemon company themselves is fed up with lmao. The pokemon company’s investigation of the game is basically them saying “we’ll do our due diligence but please shut up they don’t seem to have done anything wrong”

If there’s one thing to take from this, it’s that the toxicity just needs to be directed at those actually responsible. Not the devs, but at corporate forcing the game to release early.

Factorio just casually adds the ability to perfectly match manufacturing with demand using bot networks. God, I can’t wait for the dlc.

Minecraft presumably
