anakin78z, do games w What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3?

Marvel’s Midnight Suns has similar top notch graphics, and somewhat similar mechanics, but with deck building added. I don’t remember if there’s a class system.

If you like the d&d mechanics, check out Solasta, which I like a million times better than BG3. The graphics aren’t as good, but it’s also not as gore/horror focused.

I thought $40 Canadian for phantom liberty was a lot but, after playing it, it was worth the price. Erdtree could very well give a similar experience but I’m going to wait for some reviews before I consider getting it.

  • Game Dev Tycoon
TimTheEnchanter,

I just did two playthroughs of BG3, and I think it’s now one of my “happy” games! I can see myself going back to it several more times!

There’s also like a premium version that costs even more and comes with some extra stuff. Dlc got dlc now.

Fromsoft are obviously squeezing every penny they can whilst they are able to. I’ll likely just wait and get a more reasonably priced version. 2024 is stacked with amazing looking games.

Nythos,

“The Premium Bundle includes the following content: • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree expansion • ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree Digital Artbook & Original Soundtrack”

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m sure I can live with the artbook and soundtrack being put behind a £5 price tag.

VaultBoyNewVegas,

I’d rather have the art book and soundtrack separate instead of being included with other items/bonuses in a deluxe edition. I never use the sound track or the art book so I don’t think they’re worth adding up for an extra tenner.

echo64,

and a gesture, no i don’t think it’s worth buying either or anything i care about either. i’m just trying to point out that they are trying to squeeze everything out of it

iheartneopets,

I think it’s less them and more their parent company Bandai Namco setting the price model

Honestly hardspace shipbreakers is giving me that feeling. It’s a real cozy corporate nightmare with very chill game play. Reminds me a lot of snow runner in how laid back it is

It’s been a few years, so I’m replaying the Ace Attorney games and enjoying myself.

I saw the title and the first thing that came to mind was DOOM (2016) lol.

I love all the games, but there’s something about the 2016 reboot that feels wonderfully immersive. I just beat the Cyberdemon in a replaythrough and the way it throws you across the room but the Slayer just slides angrily instead of tumbling and smacking into the wall puts a devilish(angelic) smile on my face

A Short Hike, definitely. I just wish it was longer.

Perhaps they’ll make a sequel, A Slightly Longer Hike.

pumpkinseedoil,

I just do the hikes irl, nothing’s more relaxing than being in the mountains alone or with a good friend.

I do both, because people can do more than one thing. This is called a false dichotomy, and in this case with an unsubtle whiff of moralizing.

Starting the Yakuza series, so I am playing Yakuza 0 now !

I am happy for you. Hope you enjoy, kyodai!

Stardew Valley for sure. Sometimes Euro Truck Simulator 2 to chill.

blindsight,

As a newbie, I was rushing to figure out all the mechanics fast enough to unlock the greenhouse in year 1. It was a bit of a stressful optimization game trying to max out every single day.

Since I unlocked it, cash is rolling in so fast I don’t even know what to do with it anymore. I just hit Spring in t year 2 and it’s really chill, now. I’m thinking of selling most of my animals since It’s repetitive needing to pet them and make cheese/mayo every day. I might just cheat and get a couple auto-petters to make it even more relaxed…

notthebees,

I used to play ets2 to relax, then I discovered truckersmp

brenticus, do games w Shadow of Erdtree price

I’ve happily paid $70 CAD for games significantly shorter and smaller in scope than Shadow of the Erdtree looks. Plus I’m wanting to jump back into Elden Ring anyways and I more than felt like I got my money’s worth the first couple of times. So $56.16 CAD (what my receipt says it cost me) is pretty much fine for that.

This might be a weird take, but I don’t really care whether I’m paying for a new game, a DLC, a microtransaction, or even a gacha pull. If it seems like it’s somehow worthwhile, whether that’s by fun or hours played or novelty or whatever, I don’t really worry that much about what form it takes. This usually means I just buy new games (how often is a microtransaction at all reasonable to pay for?) but I don’t really worry about DLC pricing if it looks good.

chunkystyles,

even a gacha pull.

I’m in agreement up to this point. The only gambling that feels good, the only gambling you really remember, is the gambling that pays off. And that’s part of what makes it so insidious.

Fixed price transactions, where you know exactly what you’re getting, are all OK in my book from a consumer perspective. Pay to win included even if that kind of thing makes the game itself bad.

So to put this in real terms: I think that Genshin Impact is worse from a consumer perspective than Star Citizen.

Gacha games are one of the few kinds of games I absolutely refuse to play.

Fallout: New Vegas, with mods, is one game I always return to. Same with Borderlands 2. They never get old, for me!

For general games with very happy and uplifting messages, Outer Wilds, In Stars and Time and Celeste are wonderful experiences.

Still having fun playing Cyberpunk 2077. Mostly I’m just driving around Night City doing side gigs and not really doing the main story, ha ha!

Cyberpunk is absolutely great now, I’m currently on my 2nd playthrough. This time with mods.

De_Narm, do games w Shadow of Erdtree price

According to interviews it’s supposed to be bigger than Limgrave and have it’s own upgrade system in addition to the normal rune level. Something similar to Sekiro. At least 10 new bosses. Multiple new weapon categories. If that’s all true, it’s basically a standalone game built into Elden Ring. I’ve bought smaller games for about the same or even more.
