The game was originally planned to be a PvE only game, but the game wasn’t fun according to the data by their playtesters

There’s work that is involved in properly making and balancing and creating content for a different mode. You design the entire game around how you play it, in those case PvPvE. So no, they shouldn’t. And neither should devs be forced to make a game they don’t want to make. If you remove the PvP from the game as-is, you will lose out on a lot of what the game is supposed to be, and the interactions and moment-to-moment gameplay you have. Not to mention you’re gonna split the playerbase which is rarely healthy for a multiplayer game.

There’s a reason PvP is included, and that’s because it a straight up impossible to implement the sort of dynamism and unpredictability PvP adds.

There’s not a lot of games like Arc Raiders, and it is the kind of game that I want. Not every game is, or should be made, for everybody. That’s how you get the sort of environment of undifferentiated AAA games where they all look and play the same all designed by committee to appeal to the greatest amount of possible to earn as much as possible

Seconding “In Stars and Time”

Eh, my opinion is that games should be far more stricter. It’s really not fun when every match devolves into toxicity

For sure

It’s sad that people keep calling non-AI generated stuff as AI-generated. Us humans are perfectly capable of nonsense too!

I hate that LLMs are going to permanently change culture in such ways, even if they’re not directly part of a thing

Wdym supported for 2 months? It was, and still is, in closed alpha, getting regular updates

I keep people repeating this, but where are you getting this information from? I’ve never seen this claim before, and I’ve not noticed this happening when I’ve used itch in the past either?

I’ve noticed a ton of accusations of itch doing seemingly a bad thing after another, and so far all of those claims have turned out wrong. Please give a source at least!

My phone if it isn’t a physical purchase where the chip on the card is used

Yes. Every purchase I do has two-factor authentication

If I do automatic payment, I need to set it up manually and also set a custom limit of how much is allowed to be pulled. I also typically get a notification every time an automatic transaction is planned to occur

Wait, where in the world does that happen?

…don’t tell me that in the US if someone has your banking details they can do literally anything they want, and just empty your account

Yeah it’s, what, pretty much just a fancy looking wand that shoots a fancy looking projectile?

Edit: I was wrong. It was a bow

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

What do you mean ruined?

But also don’t forget that the amount of gamers is larger today than in 2013. Gaming is much more mainstream, and so even 97% of the install base is still disappointing considering steam grew by, what, 3x or something in terms of average monthly users?

Another source I found is that the amount of total gamers grew by roughly 50% from 2013 to 2025. But yeah, I just did a quick skin numbers are not precise

But still, 97% is disappointing considering the general demographic was supposed to grow. And then, in reality, it’s just 67% too

If they were on the position to produce it, they would have. I highly doubt they chose to not make high end cards “just because”, especially because that’s where the profit margins would be the highest

I think that you’re simply expecting a bit too much, and a little too far ahead in terms of your requirements. 4K RT 120fps is something that’s just barely starting to get achievable at the absolute highest end, and even then not without compromises

Deck 2 probably won’t come out before the next generation of chips at least

You can’t exactly compare the studio to how it was a decade ago…

Hell yea

🥺

Your thirst is mine, my water is yours

That’s the ironic thing about it. Because they’re so safe it becomes completely bland… basically all bit ensuring it won’t be as successfully anyway

They’re being so safe it’s unsafe

I mean, the thing that people watch twitch for is mainly the person/people on the stream, the game is a backdrop, rarely the actual focus

And not everyone is ego-centric like you’re saying? I mean, there’s literally tens of thousands of streamers. Don’t just look at the biggest ones that probably mainly appeal to kids, i.e. a different audience than you. Chances are the kind of people you would enjoy watching are just smaller and more niche

What about the publisher take two tho

Pretty much

The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean’s studio.

I mean, I get that I don’t have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable

In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change

They are also incredibly transparent on the discord. Feel free to join it if you want more information about the game and chat with the devs

They are also incredibly transparent on their discord. Feel free to join it and look at what the devs are saying for more info!

I see this myth everywhere, but what is it based on? They’re still actively updating Stationeers and ICARUS

Just look at their update history of you don’t believe me

I guess they really want deadlock to succeed

Bruh are you living under a rock? It’s constantly in the local news where I live, it’s very much controversial

That’s more than I pay for unlimited gigabit here wtf 😭

I don’t see why it matters though? You’re not gonna be playing the game on your phone with limited data

Not in Diablo, but in strategy games or stuff like MOBAs or shooters? Yeah, I do

I feel like the reason people like pvp is because, well, humans are like the most advanced AI opponents and teammates you can have in a game. Most games struggle creating fun, realistic, and challenging AI opponents because it’s generally really difficult to do so.

Their previous games, like divinity: original sin 2, were also amazing, though somewhat smaller in scale/budget

It’s kinda sad how many times people have thrown out racial (and other) slurs in my games. You’d think people would have grown out of that by now

I want more complex games though

Definitively not, this is something that tends to occur at low skill levels in MOBAs, but gets better at higher levels as people figure out how to actually play the strategic layer

I’ve lost plenty of lanes but came back in the midgame, there’s a lot to do throughout the game, early, middle, and late. It’s also about your team being able to adapt to the circumstances and execute the correct strategy at the right time taking into account the situation for your team

And people struggling to do this is just a natural part of a competitive game, really. And sure, snowballing is a thing, but so are comebacks.

Pretty sure the game engine larian used is the same custom made engine they always used, updated of course, for their other games. Have you played divinity original sin 2?
