Showroom7561, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

On Android (and probably other systems), Death Road to Canada is fun, funny, challenging, and comes with no BS.

BertramDitore, (edited ) do games w Marvel's Midnight Suns is criminally underrated

I loved this game! I got like 6 solid months of fun out of it. It took a really long time for the card combat loop to get old for me. I had never played an x-com style game before this (though I loved their meta callouts to x-com), so the mechanics were brand new to me, but it all just made intuitive sense. The card design and animations are top notch, and some of the fights can be super-challenging, but there’s always a way, and there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally finishing a fight after 5 different tries.

Agree on the story and voice acting, it’s all excellent. There are a couple very recognizable voices in there too.

Edit: Magik, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel are pretty much an unstoppable combo…

After playing Space Marine 2 getting bored of that in 8 hours after finishing the extremely short story and all the post story content. Moved onto throne and Liberty just for the game to be heavy pay 2 win and also full of bots. Back to the good ol EverQuest - Quarm server.

More Diablo 4, after finally getting over my cold. Playing through the campaign was super boring (being sick and miserable didn’t help). All that time is also basically wasted, and you just want it to be over as fast as possible, to actually start progressing your character. Future seasons might be better, since you can skip the campaign, but a bunch of stuff only unlocks after you hit max level anyway, so who knows. The expansion increased the difficulty of the game, added some more difficulty options and did a stat squish, but I don’t think I’m a big fan. Until yesterday, it felt like I was just treading water, not making much progress. Then I managed to unlock Torment 3 difficulty, change my build a bit and get good enough gear, started blasting through enemies, and had more fun. So, while I’m not bored out of my skull anymore, I think I’ll just finish the season journey and battle pass, and then take another break from the game.

Doesn’t sound like corporate greed is killing it at all. Sounds like corporate greed has made it exceptionally profitable.

BonerMan, do games w Corporate greed is killing RuneScape

I think your need to do some inflation adjustment, their costs increase a lot as well. And raw “record profits” aren’t meaningful when not inflation adjusted.

Everything is getting more expensive, thats mostly not corporate greed (some of it is tbh) its just the general world economics being in a very big crisis from multiple world effecting events, covid, Russia attacking Ukraine, the fucking Suez channel ship thing (yes that shit actually effected world economics), the comeback of terrorism, the right wing people playing Russian spys for their own gains in all of the western world (super left as well, but they don’t have much power gladly) Chinas entire economy is going down the drain for many internal reasons. The World economy has long covid, untreated epilepsy and very bad hemorrhoids all at once basically.

Buttflapper,

I think your need to do some inflation adjustment, their costs increase a lot as well. And raw “record profits” aren’t meaningful when not inflation adjusted.

They added microtransactions to both Runescape 3 and Oldschool, bonds never existed back then, so now you can buy gold in game, which is huge insane revenue amount for them. World of Warcraft has never had to increase costs even once.

BonerMan,

eurogamer.net/world-of-warcraft-subscription-pric…

WOW did increase costs, is heavily monetized with micro transactions and thats basically state of the art for mmorpgs right now. The server and development costs are huge for such service games and a company needs to make profits, i don’t say there is no greed involved, but i do understand some of the decisions.

Buttflapper,

Ohh darn you’re right. I misremembered. Thought it was always 15. But yeah, I get the cost of running the game and all that stuff. Totally valid points.

BonerMan,

Yeah i also understand you that pushing micro transactions sucks for the players.

Buttflapper,

It’s honestly crazy how horrifically they monetized RS3. You’re spammed with login notifications for your free gambling opportunities. Idk what it is now but it was squeal of Fortune, then some weird chest opening game you get two keys from or you get them from just playing the game and at random. Met a guy who spent $3600 on getting his skills up. Unfathomable to me

BonerMan,

Oh wow, didn’t remember it being that bad. Sounds like its getting close to Diablo Immortals territory…

A word to the wise, as you say you don’t normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don’t know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won’t be able to play it.

Jimmycrackcrack,

Thanks mate.

I'm a little behind, but I completed AC Odyssey and that was just buy it and that's it. They had a cash shop for armor sets but it was completely unnecessary and I never even looked at it much less bought anything from it. So provided the releases after that are the same it's a "there is an MTX shop but the game is balanced without it" situation
