Yes, but buying the game to leave a negative review is against the point.

what happens is you get:

Do not buy! Time at review: 0.9 hours (Total played: 356 hours)

Which basically tells people its some bullshit protest.

Not buying -> impact on sales

Yeah, from a user standpoint, but companies won’t use it as much of a metric as they do sales.

I know, people are pushovers.

Sad but true.

No dont review bomb, just dont buy it at all. Review bomb does absolutely nothing. Fuck krafton.

They would have been fine if they just gave them budget and left them to it, but it was never about producing good games.

The only reason for third person to exist in a game like this is to sell more skins.

Bit of a weird comparison between EGL and Steam… Epic Games Launcher has been around for a fraction of the time Steam has.

Steam hosts thousands of legacy titles and it’s great that most of them are still playable. Epic hosts only newer games.

Yeah it definitely needed some way to make it less random the further you got (more than it already did). The rng ended up just being a time waste.

They went through a few ideas until settling on Jump Ship iirc. Jump Crew was one I remember.

Glad to see its gained popularity now, it has a lot of potential!

Ah, Hyperspace, it’s come a long way since it was called that. It’s a fun game, works flawlessly on Linux too with Proton.

I don’t who is buying Intel at the moment. The Ryzen CPUs are just too good. AMDs socket support is far superior too.

If people play, it becomes popular, which attracts more players, which attracts spending. Even if you spend $0, you are still supporting the type of game it is by playing it.

It’s not going anywhere until people stop playing the games.

RimWorld

We peaked in 2011.

Oh no…

Yeah. They have been developing their new Deckard VR headset, so I see it being more aligned with that than anything else. They don’t really have another reason to just release HL3.

DOOM 2016 captured the essence of the originals with some added systems, but they never felt too invasive. Eternal threw that out the window, seems like this is the same. Just more AAA slop for insane prices.

I liked

It’s supported by the mod developer. Minecraft is relevant because of it’s huge modding scene, mods literally make the game. So I don’t see why “official” support for a feature really matters here. It’s perfectly fine to say VR is still supported on real Minecraft.

Official, unofficial, why does it matter? The Java VR mod works 1000x better than bedrock’s VR ever did,

Aha, pretty sure it’s just an ROG Ally 2 but with an Xbox button, Microsoft probably just did some software tweaks/optimisation to try and compete with SteamOS.

Seems to be all they had to show in this one.

The game is great fun. There’s loads of really fun mods too.

It’s honestly the best casual shooter going, it’s so silky smooth with fantastic clarity. Bungie just struggled with content and constantly changing up the systems.

There was more FOMO at the end than the beginning, the seasonal content loop with “passes” was horrible for it. Forcing certain build metas with their shitty artifact system etc.

I think it’s on a bit of a backburner at the moment. The recent episodes were pretty rushed and not very exciting. Who knows what they will do with it. I think Bungie are more focused on Marathon atm.

They don’t nickle and dime in the usual way, they have their cosmetic store sure. The real problem is they overvalue the content they add on top of it being FOMO too. But I think Destiny fans will just buy literally anything at this point, so from a purely business standpoint, can you blame Bungie?

No idea but it certainly isnt AAA.

The devs are solid, even their dev videos have so much effort put into them.

The Steam Deck is a much better product from a value standpoint, a console will never be able to compare to a PC. So it’s kind of pointless to compare them in this regard.

The only reason, personally, to buy a Switch is for the joy-con games, like games to play with friends and family. Like you would with the Wii ( checks notes, almost 19 years ago…). For an actual handheld gaming device, obviously the Deck is the better choice.

At the bottom of the page you can change language and currency.

That’s exactly how I rate too! Doesn’t make sense a 7 is just an okay game and there’s no such thing as a 10 aha

Yep exactly. I also didn’t like the hand-holdy waypoints, being told somewhere 1000m down there’s a facility is all I needed.

All the monsters are so easy to avoid with orchestrated attacks. The biggest baddest reapers of that game are just on rails and they give you a seatruck perimeter defense upgrade, which just makes every enemy extra harmless.

Also the story…

Below Zero is just not the same. I hope the new one returns to the original formula, even with it’s co-op.

Yessss, I would love to experience that again

It’s pretty small on Steam

This is going to have to be an absolutely gigantic patch to fix all the bugs.

Subnautica is one of the best games out there, I highly recommend it to everyone.

Sea of Thieves has the best ocean physics, the water is absolutely gorgeous, but gameplay is shallow as the game is trying to appeal to as many people as possible.

New, it’s hard to get under $500, but unless you plan to play entirely offline you will need a PS Plus subscription, which costs at least $80/year. If you have the console for 5 years, that’s an extra $400 just to use the thing and you can easily build a brand new PC that demolishes a PS5 for $900.

There is still a bigger initial cost, but you save so much in the longterm with a PC. I understand why people go for consoles, it’s so simple, but I’d never recommend one ever.
