I don’t have any games that would be too uncomfortable to talk about in my library, so this wouldn’t be an issue for me. Sure I might not want to talk in public about the furry dating sim Amorous, but pretty much anything else I’ve played would definitely be fair game. Especially Ardor and talking about collecting teeth to confuse people walking by.
My worst offender would be the Neptunia games I’ve played (which I genuinely liked for gameplay lol) but honestly, if your gaming family can’t accept you at your Nep, they don’t deserve you at your NepNep.
Oh! This is just the year in review thing, not your steam gameplay recordings. I don’t want my family members to hear me demolishing a burger while I watch my factory grow
The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?
The “Go woke, go broke” man babies who believes that failed games were because of politics™, and any attempt to help those people is a act of aggression.
Because the term means nothing, really. It’s just a vehicle for hateful rhetoric, incorrectly applied to everything that they don’t like. Yet half the things they like would be considered “woke” by their standards if they were released today.
Whenever you see hardcore fans say “this obscure low budget game is the actually the greatest of all time”, chances are it’s just bad. TQ is one of those games. I played it this year (all expacs) because of the hype and it was not a good use of my time.
T1 was enough to scratch an itch. T2 was the complete experience. Never tried T3. I remembe they made it an MMO at first but changed it later? No clue.
I hope they find a way to add more variety to the gameplay interactions. Not just having a variety of builds that work though that’s important too. but it feels like no matter what your build is you then have the same approach to all encounters. There’s lots of different mob types and random modifiers on them but either it breaks your build and you can’t clear them…or you clear them the same way you clear everything else.
Diablo 2 is still in my top 5 games of so time, so I’m absolutely on board for whatever those devs want to try next for an ARPG. Diablo 3 and 4 were both good in different ways, but I feel like Blizzard has never been able to match the atmosphere and overall feeling of D2. So far, POE 2 has come the closest and it will only get better as time for on. By the time this comes out they’re going to have to do a lot to compete with a mature POE 2.
