Valorant in a nutshell. Play Spike Rush or Swift Play to warm up and get better. People on mic or in All chat saying things like “tryhard!” as if the point of the game isn’t to try to win.
I game only on the PC and favor buying games from GOG over Steam, partly since one of the former’s core selling points is no-DRM (also you can directly download the games with no need for using GOG Galaxy and play offline for ever and ever), so I’ll just check the user reviews before buying and if there is some kind of mandatory account creation somebody will have complained and I will simply not buy that game (tends to be a pretty aware crowd on those subjects over there).
I’m reading here of people buying it and then not playing the game because of this and thinking: people doing that makes the decision to add this kind of thing a can’t-lose for the game makers - either way they get paid for the game and the with most people they do some extra money by selli gbtheir private information whilst for other the don’t but they still got a game sale, same as if they had not added this crap.
Best to check a few user reviews before buying and denying them a purchase if they’ve added such crap to the game, IMHO, as that changes the ROI equation and can make it a net negative to have this in a game.
Thank you, can’t wait for you to try it and I hope it lives up to those. I love The Stanley Parable and I’m trying to do my own thing in that tone, (the final part of the game really gets unhinged)
I honestly don’t get it. It’s such an extremist view for something that’s insignificant.
You paid for a game you’re excited for, and then because you have to sign up for 30 seconds you’d rather get upset, and then spend a longer amount of time refunding the game?
Maybe people here are being hyperbolic but I honestly can’t see people refunding the game because of this.
If you keep rewarding the bad behavior of others, you have only yourself to blame if they continue to behave badly.
I shouted, literally shouted at my friends for buying the Oblivion Horse Armor and WARNED them the world they were creating, and I was fucking right on every fuckdamn point.
But they laughed at me then, and you laugh at me now, and the world gets shittier and shittier every day.
Only time I’ve ever spent money for in game items was back when I was doing gøøg|e surveys and a certain game had 99¢ pull ticket things. Otherwise, I’ve never done it and will never do it willingly again.
People forget, you never owned the games you bought, physical cartridge or not. The instruction booklets state that you bought a license. It’s the bullshit argument console manufacturers use/used to go after emulation developers.
Having a copy of the game that can’t be fucked with by errant updates to the game files or by updates to the device you use to run it is a wonderful thing, but don’t lie to yourselves about the legality of ownership. That’s been a busted clusterfuck for longer than most users on here have been alive.
Stranger of Paradise is good? It is mocked by the FF community and even within it’s own game. That is a FF staple though.
I would say the job leveling tree was what was intended in Tactics or FFXIV, but the rest is really not that great. The battle system is no different than FF7 Remake. The story is not really engaging. It’s was fun for a few weeks. If it’s at a discount. Sure.
Back in the day I’d started with SMT3 and somehow never felt like going back further (1st person dungeon crawler never sounded appealing - so I’ve only ever made an exception for Strange Journey Redux).
But I feel like I’ve experienced it all first hand including the more niche entries + history thanks to Marsh. So just in case you feel curious:
Civ has a lot of old fans since civ 1 or 2 that just buy and play any new civ game that comes out. I had: Civ 1 Civ 2 + Addons Call to Power (which was no official civ) Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Civ 4 + Addons Freeciv Civ 5 + Addons Civ: Beyond Earth Civ 6 + Addons Unciv
So does Armored Core, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, Fallout and a few other of the series posted here but I’m here to make jokes not accurate observations about various niche gaming communities
League of Legends: I try to get diamond before Riot removes Linux support.
Mushy Score: I a lot of testing before releasing the game.
Spiritfarer: Just to have something relaxing alternative.
Monster Hunter World. I‘d kill for a DLSS3 and FSR3 mod for this game, I want better AA and frame gen so bad. I tried FSR3 in Skyrim and Starfield and it‘s mindblowingly good, so smooth.
