Yeah the gameplay loop in that game is definitely an issue, IMO what they need is a ‘optional’ victory condition like in Anno 1800 or Factorio where you have the option to keep playing after winning.
Hosted a multiplayer world and didn’t have any serious issues, but according to everyone else playing with me it was laggy as shit (and I’m kown for having the best internet in my group)
Despite trying I never got Into pokemon as a kid so my judgment isn’t worth much in that regard, but it’s still very much an unfinished game, as everyone buying it should know in advance.
It was fun but I probably never would have bought it without friends to play it with, and I probably won’t launch it again until it’s far more complete.
What the title says. If I was to best describe what I liked so much about it, I would say that it was how it had both a serious ‘cozy factor’ (ex: anno 1800) while still being difficult and requiring effort+skill to win. What other games scratch that itch?
Who the hell did facial expressions / animations ? Its so gloriously overexaggerated and over the top! I just picket it up because it works on steam deck and im having a blast
PC. We played through all of the 3+ player ones around a year or two ago in chronological order and it was stupid fun, what we liked about it and are hoping to find elsewhere is it being a shooter with an emphasis on movement and it’s physics sandbox (AKA CHAOS) while still having at least 3 full campaigns to play through in a...
It was a gimmick. Execeptionally Well executed gimmick? Yes. It took creative vision and the commitment to see it through and that is important, But DSR is just on another level. It’s like Ozymandius VS Dr Manhattan.
I don’t understand how that can happen lol, this is one of those cases where I’m not so sure that victim blaming is wrong 100% of the time.
Like if it’s a little kid, mentally disabled person, or geriatric who’s ignorance is being exploited, that’s one thing. But a grown ass adult who’s lived around technology their whole life? I simply don’t understand how that happens as a question of causality.
I have half a mind to post some retarded anime supervillain-tier monolog where I do a deep dive into the meaning of personal agency, question if these people even have any agency over themselves, and if they don’t, claim that this is equivalent to them not even existing in the first place. I then proceed to hatch some obtuse and inefficent plot to exploit it with an unnecessarily high human cost.
The company suffering because they betrayed the trust of their customers actually is capitalism working as intended lol, all we’re missing is someone who actually holds the line Unity sold themselves as holding but failed to do.
What role do you think the Steam workshop plays in this?
Obviously the people playing the AAA franchises don’t care, but when you see the sheer quantity of workshop content for some games (Cities:Skylines and Space Engineers come to mind for me, no doubt there’s other examples in genres I’m less familiar with), you see how much the modding community has contributed to the commercial success of these games. I’m wondering how this factors in to steam as a whole.
Tried both of these, while fun they aren’t quite what I’m looking for. Riftbreaker is definitely on a higher level then DINAO.
I would say go for it, AFAIK the game is mostly complete (IIRC only big things left are the last 3rd of the campaign and faction-specific models for buildings, possibly multiplayer) and while the bugs can be pretty bad they aren’t very common, usually get fixed quickly, and tend to only occur after major updates. Nothing I would consider inappropriate for an EA game at it’s stage in development.
For me it was Dead Space 2 when I was 12-ish. For reference, at this point the most gruesome/gorey/violent media I was exposed to was the Halo 3 Flood levels and the original 2 Alien movies....
That, or really anything that you were exposed to at an early enough age to influence your tastes or how you contextualized the themes it explored later in your life.

Damn I’m glad I bought AC6 at launch instead of Starfield, unlike half my friends lol. Pretty sure one of them got a save breaking bug on the same night I beat Balteus 😂😂😂.
I’ll probably still get it, but it’ll be months from now after the modding community has gotten established and the problems have been mostly worked out.
That really doesn’t do anything at all to explain why one of the devs would get arrested for brandishing(?) A handgun. Literally conveys no other information other than “Roblox devs bad”, same thing is true of the rest of this thread now that I think of it.
Like just going off the title, that could be describing a would-be mass murderer who got foiled as easily as it could be describing some guy who just forgot to take off his conceal carry and the wrong person realized before he did.

Yeah, did a couple years back. Had to re-buy it because I was like 11 or something when minecraft blew up and i initially got it and had no chance of recovering all the info I needed.
What’s that quote from originally? I’ve always assumed it was Todd but now that I think about it I’ve never seen anything that would prove it, I supposed I’ve always just associated it with bethesda games lol.
For me it’s probably Jazzpunk, but I liked Disco Elysium too. I’ve been looking for something to scratch that “Jazzpunk surrealist comedy itch” for a while and not many games have come even close.
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
Totally my fault, it’s not a bad game it just wasn’t remotely what I was looking for when I bought it.
I got it expecting “factorio in 3d”, however in reality it was more like Subnautica or Fallout 4 if the base building in those games was the main part of the game.
By the time I had finished loading the first phase of the space elevator I had came to terms with this.
As it turns out, the game that scratched that itch was heavily modded Space Engineers.
I have a theory that freaky cartoon porn on the internet is going to spawn a “market” for entertainers somehow.
It’s like… the ‘weird factor’ of it is such that you could probably capture a large audience by trying to explain or understand it in a neutral, non-judgmental way. Study the way a person ends up being ‘into it’ in the same way people study the life cycle of a marine mammal or something.
