XCOM: War of the Chosen

Overwatch (gave up on blizzard a couple of years ago though)

It has to be either Elden Ring or Baldur’s Gate 3.

I prefer how information dense and responsive steam is.

Epic is laggy, logs me out constantly, and is inefficiently organized (at least by default). I don’t want to scroll through cards or change my sorting filters/layout each time I want to find something. When I open steam, it has a permanent tab that says LIBRARY at the top, and when I click on that, it gives me a massive scrollable list of my games, defaulting to A-Z. Simple is better.

Plus, user reviews are really nice to have when considering dropping $ on something.

This is why federated social media is important.

The fingerprint reader on the back of the phone was the best, in my opinion.

Looked up a video of the gameplay last night, and it looks pretty cool. I wonder if it feels as good as it looks. Apparently this is a company that previously only made mobile games.

It has to be through your friends list, and I would absolutely invite if my steam account wasn’t (unfortunately) identifiable to me. I feel uncomfortable putting that out to Lemmy. Sorry!

I would invite all of y’all that I could, but I don’t feel comfortable putting my steam name out there on lemmy for privacy reasons. Sorry =(

I just logged in to try, but apparently you can’t send invites with an email. =(

The upgrades do seem pretty straightforward as far as wording, but I didn’t fully understand how some of the “spirit” ones worked, so I might look it up elsewhere before I play again. I just bought the “recommended” items, but I also kept getting demolished, so maybe I need to branch out.

I played this too. It’s fun, although I’m terrible at MOBAs.

Bemoaning the difficulty?

…but that’s the point.

Best of luck! It’s my favorite of them all. Maybe my favorite game of all time.

Sekiro is the true “git gud” FromSoft game in my opinion, and I love it for that.

The feeling of finally overcoming that difficult boss that you’ve been struggling against for hours is unmatched.

The world is safe for another day.

Divinity was also a masterpiece, in my opinion, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed BG3.

Sounds like he’s saying that when game companies go public (or voluntarily put money before fun), the enshittification sets in.

Small studios with heart still make fun games.

You won’t regret it. I’ve gotten so much fun out of this game so far.

I’d love it if they had a comparable service, because competition is good for the consumer, but they just don’t.

Steam has had a relative monopoly for two decades, and we’re lucky they’ve been customer friendly. But if something were to happen to Gabe, or Valve decided to go public or something, we’re screwed.

This game plays great, but I have a hard time trusting anything WB.

I’ve picked up a few things from Limited Run. It’s cool as a collector, and I’m glad someone is doing this, but there’s also a lot of shovelware in between the good stuff.

You know how in Starcraft, Infestors could take over a unit and parade it around to do its bidding?

It sounds kind of like that, but with the Starcraft brand.

I like it because it’s quick and doesn’t have any bloatware.

It’s an adventure

I did my part!

That was always my confusion about people buying skins in league of legends or dota. I can barely see them!

For me (15-ish years ago), it was because I only had 1 laptop to take notes on in college, and it happened to be a Macbook. My gaming was limited to blizzard games and anything that just happened to run on Mac in steam, like valve games.

I bet most Mac gamers are in the same boat. They didn’t buy it specifically to game, but they’ll still play what they can.

These games are monsters, and we all need that time to finish them. Larian can take whatever breaks they need, lol

I love the game, but it’s hard to ignore the sleazy business model. Who is buying these $20-40 skins?

Am I out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.

Browsers are cyclical like fashion, I guess.

Remember when chrome launched and they had all those commercials showing how fast it loaded webpages?
