Korhaka, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

I like them, I prefer sandbox games over linear ones. I think it’s the sandbox nature of the game that matters more than open world though.

Rai, do gaming w Let's hear both sides

Bloom and Rage is a perfect example of this. It’s a complete horrible garbage mess of soulless characters, terrible voice acting, horrible sound mixing, and a trash story and somehow it’s very positive. There are some negative, sane comments. I loved Life is Strange 1, but hooo boy is Bloom and Rage bad. It’s about a band and the music is not even music. It’s very funny, though.

4,572.1 hours played. “Not Recommended”

Come on man do you hate yourself?

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’ve got that in League of Legends, so yes.

Do not recommend. 8/10 in 2016, 0/10 in 2025. Tread not upon the path.

plm00,

Yeah that’s fair.

Rin,

Yes

I’m like this with Genshin. I’ve played it for almost 2k hours, love the exploration gameplay, environment graphics and music, but the monetisation system is extremely predatory, and the character designs and writing are bullshit, so overall I still wouldn’t recommend it to others, or only with heavy caveats. But it really scratches my exploration itch, so I’ll keep playing it myself 🤷

Ricaz,

Usually happens when a game was good initially, but then publishers get greedy and push RMT/pay-to-win/freemium features to please investors.

Maybe not a great example, but I played Eve Online for many years, and while the game is actually very playable with RMT (it feels fucking great to destroy somebody’s virtual property they paid 20$ to acquire), it kinda got out of hand and diminished the thousands of hours I put into the game.

thermal_shock,

That makes sense

Reminds me of Destiny 2. There was a period where the game was amazing, so great to play. Then it hit a downwards slope.

Croquette,

Destiny has the best gun play hands down. It’s shame the monetization is so predatory

ByteOnBikes,

I read one recently that complained the devs didn’t listen to them about this one extremely specific sounding request, and therefore cannot recommend it.

The review was at like 1400 hours, and they played 1900 hours.

Which means for another 500 hours, they continued.

jjjalljs,

I think i already commented on this somewhere else, but a lot of bethesda games are like that for me. The vanilla game is kind of shit, but with a lot of mods it can kind of be hammered into something I enjoy. it’s still kind of bad, but sometimes you just want to eat junk food. I wouldn’t recommend someone go to McDonalds, but sometimes it’s just right there and it’s easy.

This game I had on my wishlist came out recently. All 12 reviews are negative. Ouch. I’m thinking I shouldn’t play it.

Rin,

There’s only 12 reviews, you get 2 hours within 2 weeks of buying to return the game. There’s no downsides for you to try it

daggermoon,

True, but the game is a sequel and I didn’t really like the first one. I was hoping the sequel would be better. It seems not.

Iseja,

Which game?

daggermoon,

It’s a horror game called Dollhouse. The sequel is called Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror.

based_raven,

You won’t know until you try it. Don’t pay attention to what others say. I made this mistake countless times with games then when I eventually played them, I loved them. Give it a go. If you don’t like it, refund it.

daggermoon,

Perhaps I’ll give it a try. I’d have to finish the first one first.

The people who are first to review are those that strobgly dislike it and closed it early (or with some point to make). Everybody that strongly likes it is busy enjoying it and won’t review until they take a break or are done.

Give it time and see the reviews in a couple days.

MudMan, do games w Developer interview: my Q&A with the Heroic Games Launcher team

Flavio: "The guys from GOG are great, and they contacted me directly once to talk about Heroic, and they totally support the project and what we are doing, especially on Linux. I would say we have a really good relationship with them."

Paweł: "Adding to what Flavio said, we currently have the affiliate deal with GOG, so any purchases made using our link support the project financially."

Huh. I didn't know this. This seems like a big deal. Makes me even more willing to consider Heroic's GOG support semi-official, considering they support autopatching and cloud saves under GOG. It really feels close-to-native, especially given how sluggish Galaxy can be on Windows for large libraries.

It really is!

Galaxy is essentially abandoned, sadly.

I’m willing to make a deal. You help me get citizenship and I’ll get you another signature.

P.S. I don’t do anal.

Grimy,

P.S. I don’t do anal.

No deal.

LucasWaffyWaf,

Help me get citizenship and I’ll get you another signature, plus the anal this fella doesn’t do.

Interesting, I might check it out and see how it compares to something like Playnite which I use.

Heroic is so great! I don’t have much games on other platforms then steam, but when I do I always use heroic.

Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can’t believe the “gamerzzz” are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process…

sunshine,

The issue is that a lot of people are not hearing about the campaign as Ross has contacted quite a few YouTubers who have unfortunately mostly ignored his letters when they could’ve made a massive difference in exposure. Shame on them for not seeing the bigger picture :/

The campaign definitely deserves way more attention with how good the posters are for it.

Thanked and loved :D

drmoose, do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

Old graphics sure but mechanically Pokémon games kinda suck, especially the older ones. I’ll be honest I love the collection and monster part of the game but everything else is simply bad and I usually give up after 10 hours. It’s such a pointless slog.

That’s called corromon. But yes in several ways the old sprites were better
