I preorder Indie games, because even if they turn out to be crap I want them to make another one and get better at it !

I relentlessly fuck over AAA publishers by buying keys on resellers, and I have no remorse about it.

I never pre-order, there is no benefit.

Early access is misleading, there are games which are “released” and would barely count as early access and vice-versa, so I just treat them equally.

The criteria for me is that based on reviews or some gameplay footage it seems like I can get £1/hour worth of enjoyment out of it. I tend to look for how many hours do people have when they leave reviews and how many have they played since, rather than just what they say. If I’m unsure if I’ll like it and there is not enough videos or reviews to give me certainty, i may take a risk on £10 and below games depending on how bored I am at the time.

We Do Not Preorder

Seriously, don’t reward this kind of anti-consumer bullshit.

The only acceptable justification I can see is if it’s an indie dev who has really, truly earned the trust of their players and proven that they will work tirelessly to deliver the product people want. And even then I’d be very, very unlikely to. I’m crazy excited for both of Owlcats upcoming games and I still haven’t pre-ordered them, for example.

Pre-orders encourage bad, buggy, incomplete or deceptively marketed releases by juicing day one numbers without any need for the dev / publisher to actually release a worthy product.

I looked at my backlog of Playstation and Steam games, and thought to myself: “I’m gonna buy No Man’s Sky again, turn on cross save, and port my 200+ hour save to Steam.”

I’m going through old exhibitions I missed over the last few years, and PC is the way to do it. Having spent about 12 hours on it yesterday, I’m pretty happy with my decision

I’ve heard a lot of good about NMS. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

THE ONLY REASON TO PREORDER IS TO ENSURE YOU HAVE A COPY ON LAUNCH.

Do you think they will run out of digital copies of you to download? (Just in case someone doesn’t know, that’s not how digital downloads work)

It’s that fucking simple. Pre-order bonuses are almost never worth it on their own, and even for those that are, you’re enabling and supporting a predatory/anti-consumer practice.

When Steam had its outage recently, I decided to go through my GOG library instead to find something to play. Noticed I had the Thief Trilogy, which I had never played, so I gave the first game a try. I wouldn’t have thought that a 3d-game from 1998 would hold up so well! It pretty much does stealth as good or even better than modern games. Sound design is brilliant as well. I’m 10 hours in and quite hooked on it right now.

Love that we’re all finding cool stuff we forgot about in our backlogs and saving money this year. :)

Isn’t there a open source game inspired by Thief Trilogy that tries to improve upon it, with tons of community made maps.

Can’t remember the name.

Edit: it was The Dark Mod

I’ve bought and installed Assassins Creed Rogue and have almost 20 hours in it now. It’s basically Black Flag without the Caribbean theme

Unless it’s Larian, it’s backlog or maybe an expansion. I haven’t even purchased the new Civ, and I’ve been playing that one since III.

I think 3 was the last one I played too. Amazing game, but they feel like Madden or Dynasty Warriors to me. There just isn’t enough difference between the various entries to make it interesting for me, so I never bought any of the newer ones.

Nethack. Been playing for 30 years and still never ascended. This time I’m fully kitted out and I’ll be damned if I don’t get a win!

I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4. It’s ok, only more of what I expected, nothing incredible like Dread was for me. You can definitely feel how it’s cobbled together after being in development hell.

I finally picked up Dave the Diver on sale, looking forward to digging into that soon.

I pre-ordered ff8, they ran out anyways. Lesson learned.

Browsed the steam winter sales, was tempted to purchase something, but instead remembered that I have Dishonored 2 and never played it, cause my old PC struggled a little with it. Now I’m playing through the original to refresh my memory for the sequel and I didn’t spend a dime on the sale!
