I’m not saying it’s not worth ten dollars.

I just don’t feel like spending ten dollars.

Thank God it’s ten dollars.

I almost downloaded it.

If my kid is running a website and some fucking lawyer calls me about copyright bullshit, that fucker is getting 100% of my pent up salty rage.

I have a very particular set of skills, and they only make me a nightmare for a very specific type of situation.

Where my FF8 homies at tho

This is great and advisable.

But what about online only games that can be nuked whenever the publisher feels like it?

Can you dumb it down a little doc?

Elated; Elcor Hamlet was the first version I truly understood.

The Elcor are really where the series shines for depth of acting.

Emotional; this was my favorite game series for a long time. Excited; hopefully the upcoming one will live up to the series’ name.

I’m commander Shepard and this is my least favorite comment on Lemmy

The best civ is always your first.

Your data isn’t yours to keep. It’s already gone, for sale to the highest bidder for pennies, several times a day.

But it IS yours to spoil. Become unhinged.

I didn’t make it very far in to the game, I’d held on to my game pass subscription just waiting for it to come out, and cancelled my game pass after a few hours in Starfield. I made it to like the first big city a few small settlements after that, and everything felt so fucking lifeless. NPCs just didn’t seem to belong in the space they inhabited. Oblivion and Skyrim NPCs really seemed like they owned the space they inhabited. Fallout 4 even once you got your settlements going really felt like they were home. The constant loading screens just made everything feel like it’s own little universe, apart from the rest of the game. I did have fun raiding some base around the moon, one of the few times I had fun exploring. One of the few times I had fun, honestly.

Seven dollars to loading screen to your ship, watch an animation of your character sitting down, loading screen to space, loading screen to the system it’s in, Dodge some pirates, loading screen to the surface, hop along the completely barren landscape to go to a copy pasted outpost, loading screen back to your ship?

I feel like you could get all of the value of that dlc by just playing a mission over again.

If you’ve been holding on to civ 5 it’s the best time to move over to 6 that there ever will be.

I have probably a cumulative 2000 hours between civilization 4, 5, and 6. I disliked each as they came out, I had played 3 briefly right before 4 was released. But after a few games in each they really grew on me, and moving back to the older versions just didn’t slap the same way.

I’m sure 7 will be different in enough ways that people will initially hate it, and still spend dozens of hours playing it.

I’ve never been more am enemy of AI than this moment.

And with that Huike was enlightened.

I’ve literally always done this with fallout 4. I think Skyrim too. Not because I thought it was improving anything mind you, it was taking so long that I would tab out to scroll some website while I waited.

Cities 1 was a masterpiece upon release. For a while it got free updates to make it better. Then they released dlc, the first few were fine but they always got worse. By the end of the lifecycle of the first game they’d released a string of very poorly received dlcs.

Cities 2 came out to some of the worst reviews they’d received yet, and the fact that they released dlc before addressing the concerns of the community is pretty telling. It’s just a platform for continuous content and a lot of stuff that was in the base game for the first one was suddenly absent this release.

I’ve been waiting to buy it until the reviews start ticking back the right direction and it seems like that’s not going to happen.

I fucking loved that game. I was immersed immediately, running around town fucking shit up with my boys, getting in fights, getting in trouble, it was incredible.

I played it constantly for a few weeks, never even approached the ending. Then at some point I was immensely powerful, kitted to the nines, my friends were all dead, and I was just some random nameless Knight errant fighting goons and all the magic was gone. I haven’t played it since. Doubt I ever will.

Can’t wait for a sequel though

That would be good.

This is TES online in Space, with half of the features replaced by loading screens.

I appreciate requiring everyone wearing a good mask while he’s in the courtroom, but I don’t understand how having him in the room to testify would be substantially different from an online appearance.

Looks like Yahtzee left voluntarily, so it seems like zero punctuation will be done with the upcoming episode.

Man the SEO on that name is terrible

It’s fallout 4 with a different texture painted over the top, with all the charm removed and replaced with loading screens.

Spotify sucks, but it doesn’t suck as bad as YouTube music does. I lost a few tracks in the conversion but it works so much better that it was worth it.

That achievement is likely to gather more accurate statistics due to the problems you mention. The Amid Evil devs can now confidently say that 12.7% of players who own the game have never started it. Meaning they can subtract that number from other achievement percentages to get a better idea of how many people are progressing certain ways.

The same is likely true for Minecraft’s inventory achievement, though that’s slightly less useful, as some players may make it a little further without opening the inventory and then stop forever.

Leaving the first planet in Stafield takes a little more effort, but not much. It’s safe to say that some of the 25% of players who haven’t done it haven’t ever opened the game. But that number will probably be close to 10%.

If there’s a penny in your hand, it’s a penny they need. Leave not one cent to be saved, not a morsel for tomorrow, because the people who control the money, want to own it all too.

There’s a subscription for every need, for every hobby, for ever facet of reality. No matter what you do you can give one of these firms between 30 and 300 dollars a month to send you a box of crap you don’t need.

There is no aspect of your life that is not fully monetized, and if there is, they’re coming for it. A stroll through the park? Buy water from a fountain that used to be free. An old game with friends you love? Why not buy the expansion, play online only a small fee to have the latest updates and play with anyone! They’ll find any avenue to sell to you and completely miss the point of what it is you’re looking for, in the quest to fill that need at the highest price you’ll pay.

I paid like, 10 dollars what’s gotta be 15 years ago now.

Like if there’s a class action lawsuit over this I wouldn’t turn down the settlement but I’m not losing any sleep over it

That’s where it got me. I remember now

Your spoiler tag isn’t spoiler tagged.

Also I saw that cutscenes once before making it as far as you describe, I don’t even remember how, pretty sure it was midway through act 2. But it’s definitely a semi generic cutscene for when you lose in a particular type of way.
