Looks like a rogue version of Grim Dawn, but I did not try the demo.

If developers have a solid game, I wish they to put one promo video and one here’ how game play works video out.

I think they added walking on planets and inside stations at some point and the promo video I saw showed guns and combat, but I can’t say what that is about.

I forgot all about Starfield. ‘Skyrim in space’ with mixed reviews in Steam and a 70$ price. Maybe if it gets down into the 20-25$ range.

Have you tried Elite Dangerous? I became tired of the time it would take to get to new stations and finally dropped it, but that is another space game.

Just saying, No Man’s Sky goes on sale from time to time and still gets feature updates. I have always enjoyed it, though the core game play is not something everyone enjoys. This last release is supposed to have some fixes for multiplayer, but I had to turn it off again due to bugs showing up. I believe they will eventually fix it at some point.

I think with all the lost sales and bad PR this will generate, that may be the case.

Modded minecraft the Ocean Blocks 2 pack is a lot of fun.

Definitely better to get away from windows. I have an Nvidia Gpu, which is probably part of why I see the frame rate drop. I can still boot into Win10 to play some games, but really don’t do it that often.

If you are a PC gamer then moving to Linux can be problematic. I have run into a number of issues and probably a 10%-15% frame rate drop. Some games do run better, so depends on the game. Games like COD (that always sounds like a need to take a BM) probably have zero chance of working on linux because of the anti-cheat stuff.

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

I think some christian items could also be affected, like the bible. Cane and Able, crucifixion, etc are all in that book

I did search and found this article listing 16 to consider.

Wonder where they stand on The Witcher I?

Being a patient gamer, I will just wait a little longer for this game to hit my price point.

Vanilla or modded?

Talos Principle is a great puzzle solving game, but I did get tired of the back story and just started skipping it. If I wanted to be depressed I won’t be playing puzzle games.

Not if you have a slightly older Nvidia GPU. I am seeing 10%-15% lower frame rates in many of the games I tested.

Sacred 2.

True, but it is what I want from a game, as I said, so I don’t think I would enjoy this one.

I play games to relax and have fun. If a games has people crying, then I don’t think I would find that fun.

Does Torchlight count as a hidden gem? It is on sale for $3 on Steam right now.

Game is 70$ on Steam US and has a very positive review. That is still too much money unless this is a game you were really looking forward to.

It looks really good. I wish they would include a video with more game play mechanics along with the promo video. I usually try to see a let’s play on utube before buying, but they sometimes have spoilers.

Open ended games, like Minecraft and NMS , can be really hard for people who only play ‘on rails’ type games to wrap their minds around. ‘Whats the point?’, the same one as in living your life.
Also, personal opinion, Stanley Parable is NOT a game. It is a walking simulator with a bunch of bad philosophy thrown in.

I will check out utube videos on the game before buying, if the game is over a certain price and a complex game. This will spoil some things, but it is usually not too bad.

If you try to buy a game on the deck that isn’t verified to run there you get a warning. Meanwhile you have a limited selection on the switch of over priced games.

There were some AAA standouts, like Baulder Gate 3 and Hogworts Legacy, that did very well. It is possible if the company focuses on producing a fun user experience.

Anybody else start to skip the philosophy and just solve the puzzles?

Anybody make a shoot the evil CEO game yet? I would also accept that.

No matter how many I may start, I always end up focusing on just one. I also find it difficult to get back into a game after I have stopped playing it for while, so these days I try to just start only one.

I used to play Lord of the Rings Online every year in December because they have some neat events. Haven’t done it for a while (lost my install with a hard drive and never reinstalled).

Refined strategy of ceasing to exist?

Sounds like the devs enjoy the game as much as everybody else.

Subnautica. Just bopping along, in my cute little submarine.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference.

Crunchyroll removed their comments section recently. They said it was because of all the hateful comments for one show. Sony just didn’t want to deal with it, so gone, which is a real shame. If the comments are not part of the product being sold, then they will end up getting dropped if abused.

What do they mean sex scenes are common? None of the games I have played in the last couple years haves had those kinds of scenes. Some minor flirting and romance, but no sex.

This is crunchyroll, it was probably not moderated at all.

I think that is the main point of the lawsuit, if developers sell their game on Steam they can’t sell it cheaper somewhere else. If Value gets 30% the developer has to raise the price a bit to compensate and they have to raise it everywhere. Outside of sales I don’t think most games that are not on Steam are much cheaper elsewhere, so not sure how this plays out.

Ah, my mistake. I was using the average age. Thanks.

They last long enough if you only live to 35.
