No one is forced to do achievements to enjoy a game. I understand achievement hunting, but since they can easily be cheated (on steam at least) it really is only a personal goal. If you are not enjoying one just forget about it.

It can also make the incredibly tedious and irritating. Elite Dangerous is an incredible simulation of our galaxy that has terrible gameplay for your average player.

Yes, not only many people still play the same games for 10 years, but also spend most of their gaming time in them. There’s a reason why a new live service game is both a gold mine and also incredibly difficult to stick.

For every streamer that makes minimum wage there are dozens that make so little they don’t even get paid.

Seems about right. CSGO skin gambling was all the rage 10 years ago.

Although certainly similar, the fact that these games have every scene fully animated does add to it in a way that simply reading descriptions about what’s going on doesn’t.

Valve doesn’t want to make a buy to play game unless it’s something that pushes the medium forward somehow, which is the only reason Alyx was made. A PvP moba can be a source of continued revenue like all the other games they still support (and one they don’t).

If the other option ate those shitty games, then yeah, emulation it is.

Do we even know anything about the game other than the fact it’s getting made?

Your examples are of bird’s eye view games, not third person.

Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 but not Dark Souls 3. The silver knight farm is brutal and I’d never do it again.

Guess getting the non k version had its perks afterall. Either way I’m going AMD next time I build a machine.

I mean when trash like Stray and Dave the Diver gets acclaimed as “indie” games, it’s no surprise actual indie devs are straggling.

It’s a game about diving that halfway through adds a bunch of minigames that make you not need to dive.

That’s the best part! Which is why it’s weird the game is bloated with other systems and minigames that pull you away from what shoulb be the core of it: diving.

Guess they want to make it easy for mobile devs to launch their games on steam. Not sure if there’s a market for it though.

Actually From Software is pretty crappy when it comes to this sort of thing.

Still shitty. No need to defend it just because it’s valve.

Is this a franchise?

I somewhat understand what you are talking about but the buggy and poorly maintained Elite Dangerous isn’t the best example to support your argument. BG3 getting a pass on some features for the series S is exactly what other games should be able to do if it makes sense for them.

It’s a shame their new format of yearly expansions doesn’t really allow them to make new elite specializations. Many professions still feel unrealized in certain ways that new weapons can’t fill.

I’m thinking mostly from a fantasy angle. I’ll give some examples from the classes I play:

Warrior: lacks a spec focused on the defensive juggernaut fantasy that you infer from the class description. Hammer Spellbreaker kind of fits here but it’s a bit of a stretch of what a spellbreaker should be thematically. Also lacking is a commander/captain support spec, maybe something built around shouts and/or banners.

Elementalist: why is the only spec not about going in and smacking people in melee tempest? And even then the best weapon is the sword. There’s a reason newbs go in and try to make staff work as a ranged weapon.

Engineer: turret spec please.

Mesmer: maybe mirage kind of fits the core mesmer fantasy, but I’m not sure if the ambushes fit there. The other specs don’t really fit since it’s mostly about doing away with your clones.

Oh no, I might actually have to learn regex to pull this off

If it costs 200 million to take a shot, maybe it isn’t great odds.

This was running on a phone or something? What is that awful framerate?

I understand your point but you can also be satisfied with an early access game for what it had when you played regardless of later improvements. Valheim is a great example of this: you’ll be hard pressed to find someone that wasn’t satisfied with it, despite being unfinished.

For the price, what was there was fine, but it was sold as early access and the later areas were basically empty.

It’s not a game for people that care about story or even the setting past the visuals and superficial vibes.

Did the same for Skyrim. It wasn’t even that time consuming.

Just an anecdote, but on the ffxiv subreddit and discords I lurk around there have been a LOT of xbox players going through the free trial for the first time. Considering you can play a lot for free and the series S being somewhat cheap, I can see this being a fair boon to the game.

GW2 has a huge cash shop of cosmetics, to the point you can barely get any by just playing.

They are out of money after some Saudi investment money didn’t go through, so now they need to cut costs to stay afloat.

There’s also the rumor they are exiting the console business, which is probably what is making people anxious.

What you say is true but if you followed the reports you’ll know they fired the whole of the blizzard survival team, a good chunk of the Overwatch team and writers/story people from WoW. Very much not only the redundancies.
