Yeah that’s why I switched too. AMD is not perfect either but, lesser of two evils it felt like.

Oh I didn’t buy from a scalper. Well, not a third party scalper, to preempt the comments saying retail is scalping as well.

I’ll confess, I’m part of the problem. I bought a 9070XT above MSRP.

Reminder that companies and billionaires are not your friends, including Steam and 6-mega-yacht-owning Gaben.

What does “just memeing” mean here?

The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.

Wonder if this is similarly true on Linux platforms.

Damn that’s a lot.

Heh yeah!

Spiritfarer is awesome and I also recommend it, but I think I would concede there’s some “grinding” aspects. You’re going to be going out of your way to collect certain things.

Outer Worlds wasn’t made by Bethesda.

I love my steamdeck but I would not exactly recommend it to someone asking for a family gaming console.

I’d hate to see that shit get justified by sales.

I’ve got bad news for you.

Touché!

Fair play!

I’m not usually in the habit of defending the google play store, but I just opened it to see if I could figure out how to leave a review and it’s right on the app’s page, with five huge stars waiting to be clicked and a button underneath that which says write a review. I honestly did not think that difficult to find, and I didn’t need to click into anything once on the app’s page, so I’d hardly call it hidden.

Fewer weird people.

To anyone with Linux gaming experience, how is gog gaming on Linux? I’m aware of Lutris, but is it quite as seamless as Steam?

What a silly statement. There are tons of new features, characters, and courses in World.

Still holding out for full release and then gonna pour so many hours into this on steam deck.

It’s not really too unusual for a launch as big as this to have some bad units slip through QA. If it’s a handful of people, I’d even say that’s pretty impressive. This starts to effect a large enough percentage and then you’ve got something worth getting upset about.

I can see why the comparison to Genysis would exist now but I don’t think it’s a very worthwhile comparison to make in how they play out and are used in each system.

Crawford worked on Blue Rose, Warhammer Fantasy, and Mutants & Masterminds outside of WotC.

I have never seen hope/fear described as light/dark from star wars, and I’ve read the Daggerheart rules.

Actually, no you don’t.

I’m loving the 7 remakes and super looking forward to this!

IT’S HAPPENING

I mean, BG3 sold very well and certainly not everyone is playing that co-op.

Well, not being a broken mess without all of the promised features would be a good start towards one-upping it.

None. There’s no such thing as an objective master piece. Games are art which is, by definition, subjective.

Edited to add, well this was way more controversial than I thought it would be.

It’s true, but it was true of every GPU launch for the last three years or so. I’m not trying to excuse it but it’s not exactly news.

I would not describe the combat as having anything in common with Dark Souls.

I just downloaded it without issue on google play.

I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.

I understood what it was saying. I don’t think it’s a bad headline.

I wouldn’t call you stupid because there’s always someone who doesn’t know something, but this one is surprising to me. I thought FOMO was a pretty well established acronym.

Inscryption, Midnight Suns, Dungeon Drafters come to mind.

I’m so tired of deckbuilder roguelikes.

As I said, I do plan to play it! I might be metroidvania’d out at the moment, my partner and I have played a crap ton of Blasphemous 1 & 2 over the past few months. (highly recommend!)

I think there’s a lot more that goes into a games success or failure than just reviews. I’m not entirely convinced that a wave of good reviews would financially save their studio. I also find it funny that he acknowledges that he doesn’t write reviews for things.

For my case, it’s been on my wish list for a while. I enjoyed Ori, but didn’t love it, and plan on getting around to the second Ori game eventually. But I have a zillion games to play, and right now they’re not that high on my list. But my moods change, and next month I may well be in the mood for something like No Rest for the Wicked, see it on my wish list, and finally pick it up.

But quite frankly, no review is going to sway me. I’ve enjoyed Mixed review games, I’ve loved Mostly Negative games, and I’ve disliked Overwhelmingly Positive games. Fact of the matter is I’m much more likely to look at actual gameplay videos and make a decision rather than read a written review.

But, that’s just my anecdotal experience. I personally find it hard to believe the reviews play that big of a role here. I think that success or failure comes down to a hundred different factors, and the unfortunate reality is that some really awesome gems aren’t successful for no real fair reasons, sometimes.
