IMHO, two hours is not nearly enough to get a feel for a game. At least, not for the sorts of games I tend to play. I spend longer than that just working through initial technical issues, configuration, and (in games that have one) the character generator.
I have to conclude that Steam’s return window is either intended to be just enough to see if you can get it running, or as much as Valve could talk publishers into tolerating.
imo the 2h refund window is not so you can judge if you’ll like the game, it’s so you can judge if you can tolerate it long enough to form an informed opinion
there’s been a few games i played under 2h of and thought to myself “this is terrible, i’m not having fun and i actively dislike playing this”, Steam’s no questions asked refund was a cure for regret i’d have felt if i had to see that game in my library forever. Games that i know take much longer to judge i borrow from a friend who’s into fitness and a girl, that’s what saved me from buying Starfield or Avowed
Two hours is the length of some high-budget media; eg, movies and plays.
I know that some games are slow-burn, but that’s something people have to weigh themselves. Ideally, you’d enjoy the slow burn itself. When I tried to “force myself through to the Good Part of Nier Automata”, I ended up hating the whole thing.
My favorite mod for Fallout 3 was the one that got rid of the awful “green” filter they slapped on it. You’d be amazed how much better the game looks. If this is how Oblivion Remastered looks I’ll wait for a similar mod to come out.
Any sort of sequel to the Tribes series. Talk about a franchise that had, at one point, a massive amount of potential that was completely squandered!
It has momentum (the franchise, not just the gameplay mechanic. Lol) and the visuals and world lended itself to be turned into something with great storytelling of they really wanted to make it into a story as well. Plus, it was fun a hell!
Ascend is technically still online, but any sequel that gets “announced” every one in a while is a lost cause from the start
I never played that game, but I was about to… I literally installed it, but didn’t play it, and it got canceled and shut down very shortly after. (I was a bit out of the loop, I guess)
I still have it late in my Steam library, so I think about it a decent bit
Jeszcze 4-5 lat temu, wystarczyło zrobić sobie kilka bootcampów, szkoleń, kwitów i brali na juniorka za średnią krajową. Teraz w erze AI mało kto w to idzie. No ale i tak bym polecał.
Znasz technologię w której byś chciał pracować? No to pracuj, twórz sobie portfolio, publikuj swoje projekty w miarę możliwości, udostępniaj innym do korzystania z nich, do komentowania a nawet wytykania błędów.
No i załóż sobie linkedina, tam też czasem się czymś pochwal, na początek wystarczy lajkować ciekawe newsy, dodać się do grupek tematycznych, to też dobrze buduje zasięgi.
W ten sposób w ciągu roku dojdziesz do poziomu przeciętnego klepacza kodu. Najważniejsza jest sumienność i regularność.
