I wonder if they would have saved a ton of money getting it closer to this product prior to release, or if it would have taken the same amount of time and money regardless and just maybe saved their reputation a bit?

They pushed this change with the always online dev kit. I believe the price change is a smoke screen for the other changes. Soon they might step back on this decision.

Nice. I didn’t make a Steam account until it supported Linux back in 2013 or so. So I guess I’ll be celebrating 10 years on Steam soon.

Incredibly, some of Steam’s early adopter accounts are still actively in use today, a full two decades after their creation.

There are dozens of us!

programmer_having_errors,

Probably thousands, if not more!

iesou, (edited )

At least

Edit: Mine turns 20 in 5 days

scottywh,

Apparently I’ve got 6 more days til mine turns 20, as well.

Green_Bay_Guy,

I’ve got about 8 hours, but I also live on the opposite side of the earth +12 hours, so we’ll see if it’s bound to UTC time 😂https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/39f2c801-03a2-4d5e-8b48-fec55f92f28e.png

dolle,

I finally managed to find my account age. 19 years and one month! Time flies.

I had a long hiatus, but I still play FPS games regularly. And I can still join a random HL2 deathmatch and pwn :).

Coelacanth, do gaming w Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

If I’m playing an immersive misery simulator like a heavily modded S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly then encumbrance and inventory space plays a vital role in not only immersion but also gameplay systems like loadout choices and how much supplies and medicine you chose to bring and what that means in terms of how long you can stay out and how much loot you can carry back to base.

In games like Starfield and BG3 I find encumbrance mostly meaningless and annoying, and just exists as a means to slow down early game economy by preventing you from picking up literally everything not nailed down and selling it off. And in the end I typically end up thinking there are probably better ways to accomplish this that doesn’t leave you with an annoying encumbrance system as a byproduct.

Schlock,

In BG3 encumberance is absolutely needed to balance the game. Heavy Objects are still the best way to cheese combat and that is with you being limited in how many you can carry. Building a Character in a way to work around this is absolutely possible and a valid choice for a character build. It is definitely not a meaningless aspect of your character.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

That’s true. I forgot about Barrelmancy since I had a team of low STR characters and didn’t really abuse that facet but you’re absolutely right.

I have never wished for encumbrance in a game that didn't have it. I've only ever wished it was gone from those that do.

For those who’ve played the game, is it worth it? $30 for around 5 hours of play time seems a bit steep.

Little Kitty, Big City looks fun.

CraigeryTheKid,

Took me cost me closer to 10, and you can wait for sales.

I thought it was just a “walk around” game. Boy was I wrong. Best game I’ve played in a long time, constantly engaged in the entire story. Yes it’s worth it.

zhunk,

I’ll add it to my watchlist for sales. Thank you!

It is always strange to me that people working on something know less than fans…

Kamikazimatt,

Sometimes it’s nice to validate the idea you have to see if there’s anything you need to change

troyunrau, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3: Act 3 Bugs and Missing Content Becoming a Problem as More Players Near End
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

I just finished Act 1 and am a completionist who literally inspects every chunk of map, reads every book, finishes every quest-log item before moving to next map area. I can safely say that Act 1 has been amazing for me.

I did encounter one inventory bug. Prior to patch one, I was using the Chest of the Mundane as a poor man’s Bag of Holding due to the weight reduction. At one point I took 600kg of items out of the chest to sell them to a vendor, and my inventory bugged. After screwing around with my buggy inventory for an hour (having fun earning infinite money from a vendor, for example), I reloaded from the save prior to taking the stuff from the chest and removed it in smaller chunks and everything was fine. Patch 1 killed the weight reduction in the chest, so it is unlikely others will find this fun bug.

Side note: my Lawful Good Gold Dwarf Cleric of Moradin has been a blast. I first talk my way into any circumstances, because one shouldn’t pass judgement without all the information. But after judging them as evil, wiping out the goblin, duergar, and zentarim camps has been super satisfying. The completionist in me worries about plot implications of these judgements down the line, and what I get locked out of, but so far it’s been great.

DragonTypeWyvern,

The interesting thing about DnD morality for clerics and paladins is that when someone asks “Who made you the judge of what is good?” your character can honestly say “God.”

They invented these things called reading glasses, have you heard of them? Anyway, PC mouse and keyboard is king, but we're talking console format here i think, and a PC console is better than a walled garden console.

Wow, that's a kind of dismissal that only those who have no idea how bad it gets can wield. Reading glasses help with clarity, but clarity is not the only issue with old eyes and other visual impairment. Sometimes you just plain need things bigger.

One day you'll look back on this exchange and cringe at the kind of person you used to be. Be better. Accessibility is important.
