Hades 2 was one of the few games I’ve ever gone back to after playing in early access. And I played it after every major release. I agree though, I was less excited when it was fully released than I probably would have been if I had waited.

Kind of similar story of ancient gaming tragedy, I was a young lad going for 100% in FFVII, and after spending however many hours getting everything ready, I saved right by Emerald Weapon, deciding to tackle him right after school the next day. Aaaaand then I came back to everything on the memory card being gone due to some dumb glitch. Still never beat Emerald Weapon.

Agree but I think the trend started before Balatro. Slay the Spire was probably more influential in that sense.

Did you find the close bench in Bilewater? I think I would have quit the game there if I hadn’t.

Last Judge or the Bilewater boss?

I was really excited for that game and donated to the Kickstarter. Played it for a bit in one of the early releases, and it seemed kind of promising despite being very broken at the time. Booted it up a few years later and it was somehow way worse of an experience. What a huge mess of a game.

The utter lack of polish and adding in too many mechanics while not tightening up the core gameplay. They also did not have a versus mode where you could control the zombies while the survivors made their way through the map, which was in my opinion one of the most fun versus modes in any game.

This video explains it pretty well. https://youtu.be/EdRLNUGmFC8

I didn’t enjoy it at all, but you’re right about what people wanted. L4D is so simple in its core concept and streamlined in its gameplay, but it still has a ton of depth. That’s what people want.

That game was such trash. A real mockery of what made L4D great.

You wish there were queues for the custom games like there is for quick play? Trying to understand your comment here.

The Scylla songs are maybe my favorite part.of the game, and there’s more?!

Part of the appeal of Hades for me is how it forces you to learn how to fight with different combinations of weapons and modifiers, as well as how differently those weapons play.

I mean, the money does go somewhere. People get paid while the game is being developed. It’s just that the investors don’t get the ROI.

Yeah that’s a very fair statement to make.

Since the other person came in and tried to act cool or something by only caring about how it affects them (or doesn’t affect them?), I just want to put it out there that the OW team has been making lots of improvements to the game lately. The last patch added a new core game mode that has been pretty popular, along with a new hero, and they’ve reimplemented 6v6 which has been a complaint of a large portion of the playerbase since they went to 5v5 a few years ago.

So, contrary to that other person, I am happy for the OW team for unionizing, and I hope that Blizzard doesn’t do anything to stifle the progress that they have been making lately because they have now unionized.

You said it’s not going to make the game better, so is the implication not that it’s supposed to make the game better somehow?

It’s… not supposed to make the game better? It’s supposed to make working conditions for the team better.

Thanks, I was just waking up and was big dumb. Somehow forgot paintball exists.

How do you physically game an FPS?

184 already? Damn, time flies.

Ah, gotcha.

Why 2002 specifically?

I don’t think I saw anymore mention Brotato or Balatro. Both fantastic and worth every penny.

I agree that OW1 was better. They ran a public 6v6 test for the past couple weeks, and there’s another one confirmed coming sometime, so the OW you loved may return at some point.

Are you a Marvel fan in general? As someone who couldn’t care less about Marvel heroes, I played Rivals for a bit, and while it was entertaining, I would rather just go play Overwatch.

Mind if I ask your reasoning for this?

I would call it a complete game that was finished a long time ago but has a passionate developer who provides free content updates. It’s definitely not a live service game, as there are no microtransactions and the updates are free.

Calling Stardew unfinished is hilarious.

A net negative $400 million? Yes?

Yeah I kinda doubt that…

Same, I was hella excited for this remake. FF7 was a mind-blowing experience for me as a child. But I want to play through the whole story and I had forgotten for years that this game existed until seeing this post.

Ah, if only I could read more than one sentence at a time…

Keep in mind that a large portion of players don’t have it installed on Steam and use the Battle.net launcher instead (like me).

But that would cost them hundreds of dollars!

I’ve been watching some streams and it seems good. A couple friends who have played are into it. There’s definitely a good portion of hype from it being Valve though.

Oh true, the partially delivered PvE content that was canceled almost immediately after releasing after a year delay.

Yeah I realize that looks dumb now. I was thinking of microtransactions that affect gameplay. You know, the important kind.

My argument is don’t buy them. It’s really that simple.

I believe new players also have all the characters unlocked immediately.
