Norland is rimworld but you only control the leaders of your camp and they have kids and die like CK.

Early access, so not very patient of gaming lol

AGI isn’t when you think, it’s when it thinks. If it exists prove it or else you’re just pumping hype into the bubble

Sounds like you dislike soulslikes.

Dishonored, or maybe Deathloop? Deathloops a bit more complicated but dishonored should prep you for it. They share a lot of the same abilities, the world is just laid out different in deathloop.

Wolfenstein New Order you’re the one man army BJ Blazkowicz, mowing down nazis through linear levels. Run and gun for the most part, with story between levels.

2016 doom or doom eternal

DnD does have a lot of stats but Baldurs Gate 3 makes it fun, and it has everything else you’re looking for. I would give it a shot even if you’re stats averse

And virtual ram

I was getting mainframe. A steam deck style server box you plug in next to your router and can stream to your deck, your phone, your whatever. A home pc console mainframe.

Developers like consoles because it limits the platforms you need to optimize for. The steam deck gave pc gaming a benchmark. If they made a standardized home console you can still run your own software on, i would bet on a big growth in proton support

This one being moddable is cool. I love tetris worlds weirdo eye monsters, do they come back in elements?

When splitgate 1 launched its problem was a lack of polish. They polished it up and made an incredible live service game with terrible cosmetics. Then they gave up on all of that to make call of duty but sometimes there are walls to portal through. Now they are giving up on that and taking it all down. They need to hire an art director to rework it from the ground up and have splitgate 2 be splitgate 1 v2.0

Gamers who get mad having to wait for company logos to show while games boot: They have to disclose every piece of software they use to make every game! I want my games 100% hand crafted and bespoke. I want to sense the life people spent meticulously crafting mudsplat_texture_1 - mudsplat_texture_500. Also no crunch (and no bugs, obviously)

Very occasionally, on certain maps people or bots invade. It’s dark souls 1 style. It doesn’t impact that much until you are trying to beat it, then you get invaded once or twice.

I don’t think they let you turn it off on launch, or maybe I couldn’t find the setting. I had the laggiest julliannas ghosting around my map every run.

Single player was great, the invasions were awful.

It’s the exact opposite of trapped but what about something like this old comic

Where the princess is in cahoots with the dragon. Maybe there are evil knights coming to marry her, and she needs to create a path for Prince Charming.

Great idea, release a fun enjoyable beta with mtx, shut the game off for a year while we rebuild everything from the ground up, then rerelease as a completely different game. I played throughout the whole “beta” release, then lasted maybe a week when it came back.

I didn’t even hear of concord until it was dead, whereas marvel you can’t escape from hearing about.

We’ll see if Rivals survives. It’s completely unbalanced so far.

Their KSP2 design doc was too technical with not enough art? Did the publisher know which ip they were working on?

Payday 3 worked fine for me before the full release overloaded the always online servers for weeks. It’s a funner game than payday 2 but always online is ridiculous. I don’t want developers to just get away with that in the future.

I haven’t been following along the whole time but they wouldn’t even mention the issues forcing always online brought at launch. People quit playing so the servers caught up, but they still won’t add offline. Apparently they have absolutely no interest in the steam deck demographic.

The other day Astarion jutted his chin up and out (very smugly) and his neck stretched and the Addams apple moved correctly. Games have come so far

Yeah the rubber fell off of one side immediately. And opening it up to try and fix it was a hassle. From the article activist shareholders forced them to work towards right to repair, but if they don’t switch to Hall effect sensors it’s really just forced to repair. Potentiometer controllers have a forced shelf life, and controller manufacturers are fine with that. Now they’re just making money selling the parts too.

With how quickly my elite series 2 fell apart, I’m not sure they can get any cheaper.

Maybe it’s on me for thinking it would be more cod like and less l4d, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting going in. Plus the audio was a complete sensory overload and I couldn’t pay attention. I need my games to shut up for a millisecond here and there.

And no Easter eggs.

Is it not enough that epic stole dead island? Now they’re gonna keep dying light forever too. And Microsoft controls COD. The zombie game craze finally died down and these big corpos bought up all the winners. Makes me wish killing floor was fun.
