PanArab, do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

My most played game in my Steam library is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus which came out in 2013. The newest game in my library is Atelier Sophie DX a rerelease of a 2015 game.

True in my case. All of my favorites either were released before 2020 or originally released before 2020 and I'm playing the re-release.

Only new IP I got excited about after 2020 was Project G.G. and I strongly doubt it'll ever see the light at this point.

New games are steaming piles of shit most of the time nowadays.

tal,

Old games were also typically steaming piles of shit. It’s just that the ones people still remember are the worthwhile ones, because the bad ones have gone into the dustbin of history.

Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not.

There were so many bad platformers for the Super Nintendo, but nobody is ever going to go back and play those or dredge them up.

CalipherJones,

Yeah that’s a good point. As a kid I felt like when I bought a game it’d at least be complete, but there were plenty of terrible games back then too.

tal,

Yeah, I’ll grant the completeness point. Internet access everywhere has kind of lessened what it means to “release”.

The most expensive game I’ve bought recently is Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries, which came out 4 years ago.

orbitz,

With different mods each playthrough can be quite different too. That’s why easily modable games are awesome for their price. Of course I just like being in a big shooty mech to blow stuff up so may be biased on that one in particular.

humandotexe, do gaming w Fragpunk is the competitive first-person shooter finally brave enough to declare that balance is overrated, and that's why it's my new go-to

Been playing a handful of hours now. If you’re trying to kick Riot games, this is an excellent replacement for valorant

Sounds cool. Is it on console?

Megaman_EXE,

It’s supposed to be, but I think the console releases might have been delayed?

And there hasn’t been another option for years but I’m seeing an awful lot of buzz for the PS5 Pro with people ditching PC and enjoying that more casual, sofa with a controller approach.

LiveLM,

Buzz for the Pro? All I’ve seen is people sneering at the lack of games taking advantage of the extra capabilities and the price.
I still think the base model is a better deal.

TheMainIngredient,

Totally. Base is much cheaper. Especially the digital version. I think those looking at GPUs at twice the price of a PS5 Pro are given a new option though and my observation is that they’ve been vocal about it

REDACTED,

This doesn’t sound true. I can no longer name 1 friene who prefers console and PS5 pro launch was pretty terrible. Hell, even I got back into PC gaming thanks to VR

How dare you!

No such thing as free stuff.

It’s a vampire game. What’s it supposed to do?

I’ve heard “we’re going to do something never been done in a game before” a few times in the last decade, and even the people who I genuinely thought could do it, haven’t actually done it. CDPR was already one of those developers. Now they’re saying it again?

I_Has_A_Hat,

Health potions are now blue and mana potions are red.

charade_you_are,

I would not play that game. Disgusting

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Pixel Dungeons/Nethack be like that depending on the RNG. The color of the potions doesn’t indicate their effect; the effect is randomized and you could totally end up with Red potions that give magic, and blue potions that give health. Tho more than likely the red potion will be acid and the blue potion will be a bomb, and consuming either kills you.

charade_you_are,

I played it for a very little while when I was first trying out roguelikes. Liked it but there were better ones around

mostNONheinous,

To be fair it just says he was the director of Witcher3, not that he is still associated with the company. It also says HIS new vampire rpg.

bananabenana,

Night City is a masterpiece of design on a scale that’s never been done before, nothing even close. Not sure if CDPR made promises regarding that, but they do good work and their track record shows it.

Oh well thank god then

Boomkop3, do gaming w Razer has released a backseat gaming AI bot called Ava, and I'm not sure whether using it should be considered cheating or not

A better mouse and pc is not cheating, using macro’s is debatable, aim assist is definitely cheating, letting an AI completely take over is absof## cheating.

just because you’re still terrible with cheats on doesn’t mean it’s not cheating.
