Fuck it, if I worked there, I’d straight up just steal from his office while he’s doing bumps in the bathroom

Punchable faces for $200, Alex.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

Are you kidding me? That’s a daily double punchable face. The mouth is smiling but the eyes are making sure the battery cables are firmly clamped on your nipples.

CmdrShepard49,

It almost looks like an AI generated face. Definitely uncanny valley territory.

Remember kids, don’t buy into hype anymore. Hype is a marketing tool. They don’t have to make any promises that a game will be good or even come out just because they hyped you up for it. Don’t allow yourself to be excited for anything until it actually releases.

ms_lane,

I am so ready to just cancel my game pass. This shit just pisses me off.

Stovetop,

I’m honestly surprised people still have it.

aksdb,

If it fits your gaming profile, it’s a pretty good deal.

Stovetop,

I just think it stopped being a good deal the moment they implemented their first price increase. That signalled that they’re willing to do what every other subscription service does and raise prices as arbitrarily high as people are willing to pay, with the enticement being that once you’re in deep enough, you can’t unsub or you’re left with no games.

If you have copious time for gaming and are always on the hunt for sometbing new, is it still a better deal than buying every game at release? Sure, at least for now. But the patient gaming strat at least gives me a backlog of affordable titles too long to finish them all, and I can also return to it at any time without worrying about titles eventually disappearing from a subscription catalog.

aksdb,

If you go for subscription, you accept that the stuff is temporal. Or at least you should. So it should make no practical difference if a game vanishes because it gets pulled from the catalog or if you decide to cancel the subscription because you consider it too expensive.

Microsoft is literally scorching earth in their Xbox Gaming Division...Gotta chase those short term profits, I guess. 😡

people just don’t want to work anymore

NO

THEY CLEARLY FUCKING DO

BUT YOU FUCKING GREEDY CUNTS KEEP FIRING EVERYONE AND TAKE FAT FISCAL QUARTER BONUSES

AND THEN IT’S A 19 STEP INTERVIEW PROCESS WHEN THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB

AND THAT’S IF THEY’RE “LUCKY” ENOUGH FOR THE DOGSHIT AI TO RANDOM.CHOICE() THEIR RESUME OUT OF THE 900+ OTHER DESPERATE APPLICANTS

THEN THEY FINALLY SOMEHOW GET AN OFFER: $1.89 per full uninterrupted hour at your desk and a single bag of skittles (opened)

Sorry for the caps, I’ve been in the job market recently and it’s fucking brutal. I have to constantly justify my value as a human being and then just face rejection after rejection.

NotMyOldRedditName,

You left off the part where after you finish the bag of skittles the lay you off again.

Zenimax?

I thought TESO was actually rather profitable?

cyrano,

It is profitable

As long as I can punch the arms off of my enemies I am happy

iamdefinitelyoverthirteen,

As long as I have to be “mostly dead” a few dozen times before I can survive the easiest fight, I am happy.

ButtermilkBiscuit,

Remember the first time I played I went to fight a goat and got absolutely brutalized. I loved kenshi, but I can understand why some didn’t. Building a huge base a pumping out hash was my crowning achievement. Then the religious freaks showed up and my tower guys killed everyone. Later I found some band of 30 mis-programed bots that I would take with me and they killed anything around me. Ahh…such a great game.

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable

That would actually be awesome.

I like Kenshi a lot. But it really feels like Gothic in that the start of any given character more or less feels identical. Same steps to get to the point where you can start doing the stuff that actually makes the game really fun. A lot of CRPGs in the 00s/early 10s had that problem and Kenshi ramps it up to 16.

I will never understand how to enjoy Kenshi, and I like Caves of Qud

From what I’ve been able to gather, it’s basically a sandbox. Imagine if F:NV had no main quest but allowed you to create your own faction. You’re just unleashed onto the wasteland to do whatever and let everyone else respond to it.

That is to say, much of the fun comes from building drug running bandit empires.

iamdefinitelyoverthirteen,

Or just killing all the big bads, which is basically all but tinfist.

tetrachromacy,

Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn’t click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

dontbelievethis,

What state of mind do you have when enjoying coq?

Every time I start I get like 7 levels in and a dungeon deep and it all seems pretty shallow.

Which is a surprise for me because i thought it will be pretty much the opposite. Simple graphics, komplex mechanics.

It has to open up, right? But then why is it rogue-like?

Don’t know. Always quit it thinking “this is it?” and than starting again thinking “this can’t be it”.

Valencia,

Total opposite for me. Could get lost in Kenshi, I watched a review on qud in bought it and was like uhh wtf do I do lol

shani66, (edited )

There is just something about coq that feels bad. I play CDDA, i play elona, i dabble in DF, and i play the heck out of kenshi, but coq just doesn’t click. Maybe it’s the UI, maybe the game just doesn’t feel as deep or as rewarding to explore.

@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Opposite situation here, CoQ is boring, hard and you don’t know what to do or how not to die every 5 seconds

Also, I don’t like the art style

In Kenshi no situation is totally desperate

I love Kenshi and COQ, and Starsector.

Hate Mount&Blade tho lol

Couldn’t tell you why

Banrik, do games w Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable

I'm excited for kenshi 2, even if I'm beyond wary of it being made in Unreal engine...

SupraMario,

I just want it to be coop.

We need a c\KenshiVibes here. Game slaps.

Nelots, do games w Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable

I really want to pick up Kenshi again. But the last time I touched the game I put 30 hours into it over a 3-day weekend. I fear for my free time.

you’re just gonna let the slavers get away with it???

Nelots,

I hope you're happy.
