Because they know Shadow of Mordor/War is a one-hit wonder and they can’t make another game with nemesis system as good as that game, so they preemptively prevent anyone from making a better game than they can possibly make.
The gameplay kept us coming back and the graphics are excellent for the game. What doesn’t last is the absolute garbage writing and characters. Literally just edgelord angry characters snapping at each other. There is no reason for being an invincible wizard warrior obliterating the orcs of Mordor.
“Mario. You can’t a do this! He’s a the one who keeps kidnapping peach!” Said Luigi. “No” Mario responded. “That’s a why we do do this”. Mario then narrowed his gaze and gripped the steering wheel of his cart, his gloved hands making the sound of a tightening rope. “Today, brother. We humiliate him. Tomorrow, we take a him down for good”.
If I was a police officer, and after surviving an accidental catastrophic zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, my government said “Hey you’re really good at that, want to do it 5 more times?” I’d simply pivot to being a construction worker or something.
I would say theoretically not. If you only do new construction nothing you touch has had shit on it yet. But then again it is intended for shit so it depends on where you draw the line
You’re not the first but I’d be more than happy to accommodate the non discorders, I’m currently afk but I will investigate the suggested alternatives and relay back here, do you have a preference of the mentioned alternatives so far?
I’m a discord hater and low key refuse to join more servers as I try to convince my communities to move to different platforms. Would love to test on Linux for you though. Happy to provide feedback back here or something.
The screenshot is giving a bit of fallout 1 + 2 vibes, which I love.
Fair enough, what kind of communities that would offer a similar hub as discord would you convince others on? I can try relaying back here as I’d appreciate having you testing but it’s not ideal I reckon for the purpose.
Matrix, and there’s a P2P one that just went around called PeerSuite? Both are far from perfect, but at least aren’t yucky corpo platforms. Sorry to come across so harsh in the initial comment, the tone in my head was light hearted I promise lol. More of a “I’m happy to help figure out an alternative communication stream in order to make me a useful tester.” Might be worth making your game a Mastodon account to direct people to from the Steam page? Could be a good spot to encourage people to learn about the fediverse and provide a channel for updates and a message system for testers? Idk. Discord is somewhat unique still in the type of organizational tools it provides, hence the love-hate relationship I have with it lol
Not harsh at all, I deleted all my social platforms about 5 years ago and so I have like zero presence anywhere, it has been amazing for me personally. But it means I’m totally out of the loop and in a poor position to grass roots market this 😂.
I’ll check out those platforms thanks for the rundown. In the meantime if you still want to keep in the loop I don’t mind updating you in DM, Id rather have 1 genuinely interested person with good feedback than a million silent followers!
My head canon is that the games where Bowser is the bad guy are just them playing roles and the sports games are their real selves. Rivals, not really enemies. Mario Kart World having all the mooks join in on the karting supports this idea.
not sure that’s hugely better frankly, because now it’s implied that the mooks are just there to let the important people act out decadent fantasies in absurd detail
like being an extra in a mr beast episode whose sole job is to get punched into cold water
I’ve been enjoying the game a lot. My kids did complain that the battle mode is so barebones. 8 had a lot of battle modes. Going back to just balloons and coins is not great.
But I haven’t seen reviews complaining about this so I guess nobody really cares
I’ve had fun playing it with friends, especially Knockout Tour, but I’m not really sold on it: I’m not sure if it’s because of the increased player count, but items feel overtuned to the point that getting to first place seems meaningless or even detrimental to winning the race, as you’ll often get thrown back 10 places. Besides that, there is too much time spent driving on the roads between tracks, which are not as fun as the actual tracks.
Haven’t played Free Roam since I mostly played with friends and I don’t find it interesting, but it seems like a decent extra mode.
Also yea obviously it’s overpriced and not worth 80 €.
