Also the combat. DA:O was already quite streamlined when compared to other CRPGs of the time, and they only dumbed it down further and further with each new iteration.

I’m not a fan of the transition to a f2p model, the home screen looks like garbage now, and the whole UI is more polluted because they’re constantly trying to sell you something now. I have 1000+ hours in Siege, but stopped playing around the time that Sens released. Recently hopped back to check the update with some friends, and it’s clear the game has lost scope. Basically all operators released since then are just copies of a previous operator with a very slight twist. Gone were the times when people got excited for a new siege season because we wanted to see what new ops and maps were coming. Speaking about maps, the new maps also look boring and uninspired.

Noita and Exanima are also two great explanations of when to make your own custom game engine: when nothing else on the market does exactly what you need your engine to do.

At this point, it’s clear that NMS is a forever-developed game, and it is clearly also the basis for Light No Fire (as they’re literally transferring systems over). It makes me think of Exanima and Zomboid. These devs have a never-ending stream of additions and reworks to develop, and I’m here for it.

Let’s gooo! I’m hyped, I love the first one for its unique approach to survival games, especially for having a map that was designed and not procedural. A new one with a bigger backyard and more features will be very welcomed.

I had to zoom in to see what I was looking at lol The difference between male and female fashion is atrocious here.

Amen!

For Honor has, to this day, the best melee combat I have ever experienced in any game. The biggest problem that game has is that it’s a fighting game in medieval disguise, if it was more adventure/rpg, I’d bet people would be all over it. I do like the fighting game part of it though, but fighting games are ROUGH to get into, sweatiest player base around.

He is only testing AAA games at top settings. And that’s the point AMD is “making”. Most pc gamers are out there playing Esport titles at the lowest possible settings in 1080p to get the max fps possible. They’re not wrong, but you could still say that it’s ridiculous to buy a brand-new modern card only expecting to run esport titles. Most people I know that buy modern GPUs will decide to play new hot games.

And better work at that

Isn’t Steam Deck APU RDNA 2 at oeast? If so, it’s technically RT capable.

Is that pixel art? It looks like early 3d graphics.

I only remember the 3090 frying itself when playing New World, but, allegedly, that was only some units with faulty soldering.

Biased, but absolutely right.

It’s already out, just a UE5 remaster. They were bored of reselling Skyrim for the upteenth time, decided to change pace a bit and resell Oblivion.

It’s a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I’m all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only “FMMORPG”. I’d love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.

1230 USD in about 10 years of service. I’d be interested to know my total playtime on steam now to see how much per hour I am paying.

It’s wild indeed. The worst part about this comparison is that people say it’ll fail because of the competition, but there’s literally 0 competition in the genre from big studios. The only three somewhat successful games are Delta Force, Hunt Showdown and Escape from Tarkov, two of those are premium games, one where people are willing to pay 250$ for it. It’s even a genre where people mostly want it to be paid to reduce cheating.

I’m super excited for this game. The demo they had on a previous steam next fest was phenomenal, great writing and voice acting.

Earth days… In a planet where the rotation is not the same as on Earth.

Felt well written as well, I loved talking to the other guy. I’m chill though, but it’s definitely a game I intend to buy and play as soon as it’s out.

Which you can’t without AI.

Proceeds to have a melt down for the next few moments considering how time must be a lie.

Well, it is really old news from a game that launched in 2015, but the summary of it is a feature that allows enemies in the game to remember you, and evolve with the player. You killed an Orc chieftain, his right-hand orc is now the chieftain, and thanks you for clearing the way for him. Lost a battle to a miserable orc archer? Next time he sees you he jokes to your face and tells you how shit you are. It is a great system, but it was patented.

There exists no gpu that uses two of those connectors. The whole reason that connector exists is so that you can have a single connector going into any gpu. Thus, the only reason to have two, is to have two GPUs that use said connector. Right now, the main reason to sport two brand new top of the line Nvidia GPUs is AI. Is it the only reason? Not really, it can also be a professional setup for some kind of heavy workload.

I watched that when it was released and was sure it was a real dlc for the first minute. So well done!

It’s more of a tower defense than a city builder though. Every brick is laid to protect the town from the hordes.

Nah, it’s scary when the entity threatening you with a lawsuit has enough resources to bury you under paperwork and drag a legal battle that’ll hurt your business for years even if they have no chance of actually winning the suit.

The horny half of the internet, which is about 99.69% of the whole internet.

It basically looks like Lethal Company with a half-twist. These games are indeed fun with friends, for a very limited amount of hours. But it’s 10 bucks, so I guess that’s fair. I wouldn’t expect 10 bucks to give me unlimited hours of fun, especially in today’s landscape for games.

Narrator: “He won’t”

No we don’t, never heard anyone use that term when referring to games that are similar to Vampire Survivors. It’s always survivor-like game. Also, bullet heaven is not even an accurate description of the game, as in lots of these games you don’t throw lots of projectiles around. If you’re going to force a name change, Mob Hell is a way better descriptor.

So? SurvivAL is not the same as survivOR.

It’s great that they bought the publishing rights and became independent, and this next update is looking fire!

Let’s just stick with survivor, or survivor-like. It works fine for roguelikes and soulslikes. No need to force a genre name.

Watch their announcement video on youtube, it screams VC funding scam. The whole announcement is basically just the CEO sitting on a couch and making outrageous claims, while all the supporting data and graphs carry the disclaimer “pre-silicon simulated benchmarks”. They say they’re going to have a live demo this month and in the following months, but they don’t even have real silicon, while also claiming they’re going to be shipping cards by Q4 2026.

Vermintide 2 is heavily discounted now on steam, 80% off. Plus a 56% off on a bundle with all dlcs.

Oh, yeah. I think we are both complaining about the same thing. I remember a lot of dialogue on previous Monster Hunter vanes, but it was usually only on some rare occasions. This one feels too story heavy, and I agree, if I want to watch a movie or read a book, that’s what I’ll be doing. I want my games to let me game.

For that alone is already worth it

I’d say the opposite. They have streamlined the experience too much where it mattered. No longer do you need to track monsters and paintball them, no more farming for resources in preparation for a hunt, early monsters are all a joke that pose no real challenge, and in the new one you don’t even have to explore the map, as your mount is an auto-pathing machine that can take to your next hunt or quest automatically.
