Hey, here’s a radical thought… don’t force yourself to finish something just because you paid for it. A lot of games accumulated were prior to generous refund policy and back in the days of Bundles and stuff. Why would you force yourself to play something you don’t like.

Patches, (edited )

Back in the days of bundles.

Looks at the 5 TRPG I just got yesterday for $15. So I could get 1 game I wanted that is always $20.

Exactly. People wonder why so many are praising Gaben, but decision to refund any game for any reason within 2h of play or 2 weeks of ownership is an awesome one. So many times game looks entertaining only to realize it’s bad.

Patches, (edited )

You don’t have to look very far back to see the positives

Most people got refunds on the policy alone. The rest are getting them outside of policy by directly talking to Steam.

Do you think the same would happen in Epic?

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

No way. Epic doesn’t give a shit, although they do have a refund policy of sorts, it’s not as lax as Steam’s.

Jokes on you, most of my games are from bundles so I don’t even remember what I bought vs what I got for free

Harpsist, do gaming w I just love collecting them all!

Reason number 217 why pirated games are better.

Narrrz, do gaming w My kind of game

and the excruciating process you have to go through to flip the colour around just one of the dots.

hihellobyeoh,

Lol, I flip like 10+ each war, I remember one time the npc I was destroying in the war had the audacity to claim more of my systems while I was on the border of his home system, so I claimed his home and took it too.

They should at least add in the archives mission to the game.

My face when I divine smite the boss and his health goes to 5 hp left

My face when he pops lay on hands greater heal and we’re back to square one.

chuckleslord,

Minthara is such a pain, unless you throw her in a pit.

TerrificTadpole,

I want her clothes though

chuckleslord,

Since she’s a “companion”, she leaves an orb when she goes over. At least she did when the game came out (source, I’m definitely rocking her outfit after throwing her over)

TwoBeeSan,

You can get first round hits by stealthing your party next to drum on the ledge of the pit.

Can also break the bridge that reinforcements come in on.

Found the hobgoblin a lot more difficult. Think it’s dror ragzin?

chuckleslord,

Didn’t have trouble second time. I play like a big dumb dumb cause it both makes it more fun and also I play like a dumb dumb thinking I’m smart. I get there eventually.

Ragzlin you can put a bunch of firewine barrels on his little stage and then lure everyone next to the barrels using minor illusion. Then if you throw a firebolt at the barrels or drop the hanging brazier, boom. That usually takes out everyone except Ragzlin if you use two or three barrels. The priestess you can drop a silence on in her room that she leads you to and she wont call for help. Easy to blow her up and just walk away whistling.

TwoBeeSan,

I always forget the power of barrelmancy.

Barrels is how i finished up Tactician mode today. Smokepowder demolishes dragons.

TwoBeeSan,

Have been cruising through act 2 up until last tower fight.

Will keep a look out for barrels more often.

Nothing says fun like trying to relax and play a game . Oh no you need an update to the game…Oh did I say game I mean the custom launcher…here is our ads for our other games to click through…oh you must want to go to a webpage…whoops can’t connect to online even if you don’t want to play online…Ok you finally connected oh but the settings have been reset because of the update…Oh wait the cloud sync didn’t work…

And when you finally get the game to run, it needs to compile shaders. Then it need to download another update, from inside the game (and sometimes even restart the game… Looking at you, MW2! ) And the user agreement have changed so you are forced to scroll to the bottom of one or more LONG legal text before you can click “Accept”. And then a season intro cutscene (fortnite and CoD games does that). Then maybe a “Whats new” screen…

I remember Commodore 64 games could take up to 30 minutes to load. But at least I could just go make some food while waiting. Didn’t have to sit there and press buttons.

EvokerKing, do gaming w How can it be so bad?

Wow Ubisoft game launcher opens in… Never? Wtf I paid money for this game and then I need to buy it again because they didn’t actually give me the account and now the launcher is just dead and I can’t even open it.

Longpork2,

Fuck that. I bought one of the assassins creed games legitimately, then had it refuse to launch after a few weeks because they updated their launcher and borked it. I then pirated that same game to bypass the launcher issue and pirated every other ubisoft game since then.

If I have to pirate games to get around a deliberate flaw you worked into your program, I’m not paying for that game.

EvokerKing,

Yeah I paid $30 for rainbow 6 siege I expect to be able to play it for more than 2 weeks. Like honestly it would be so much cheaper and easier to just use the steam launcher, since the game is already sold there, but no they have to be special.

MeDuViNoX, do gaming w I believe in you!

How is it cursed/confused if you’re just sending it out? Like isn’t taking it out of battle the cure for those conditions?

Honytawk, do gaming w Chasing the *frag*on

So what is stopping them from doing it today?

I still have plenty of LAN parties, and PLAY local multiplayer as well.

joe_cool,

Yeah, I played a round of Virtua Tennis on the couch with 3 friends and beers this week all in our late 30s. Was a blast!

LAN party is next saturday with about 70 people.
