I used to be like you, laughing and enjoying life.
The new director of technology we just hired a few months ago flexed about how he’s now hit 6-digit donations to Star Citizen. It’s still early and he hasn’t shown any results, but if he’s following the Star Citizen path of growth, my department is fucked.
I wish the tagging system was expanded to include more details.
While I think it’s helpful to know if a game is “souls like”, i also want to know if the game has a ending, or will be in continual development, or if it’s good as a pick up and put down game…
There was a highly upvoted post on the cozygames subreddit which I’m paraphrasing from memory.
Every time someone shares something in the Stardew Valley genre, there’s like a militant group of commenters who are outright hostile to that new game. And yes, I’m seeing that sprinkled in the comments on this post.
Like, imagine any other genre having to deal with people like that? “Oh that looks like it’s ripping off Doom how unoriginal looks boring just play Doom”.
While I disagree with how long they’re been in early access especially when other games are in early access and doing it better… The updates were still pretty impressive. The new biomes were pretty interesting.
Meh. I’ve played a few of these Korean MMOs when theyre brought over the States. I don’t mind them.
If I was a kid with unlimited time and no pocket money, they’d be amazing. Turn off world chat, ignore the micro transactions store, and it’s easily solid 10-15 hours of quality gaming. Some even have really high quality cinematics. Once Human is really polished and fun.
After 15 hours (and like every single MMO since forever), it becomes a slog. By that point, I usually jump back into a single player game.
My wife does this because shes purely a M+K player and one game, she was sucking st. So she plugged in one of my controllers and moved with the controller, but looked with the mouse.
As a longtime PC gamer, Games like Dark Souls was impossible for me to play with a keyboard. But I kept watching my friends play it and really liked it a lot. Got one of those discount Xbox controller knockoffs and got pretty good with the game using a controller.
When the Steamdeck came around, I felt right at home with a controller.
It’s shifted dramatically where 90% of games, I’m playing controller. But still can’t play FPSes with one. (Even though I got pretty good with Halo back in the day)
