Also not gatekeeping modes and content I already paid for if I can’t afford the newest expansion, and just straight up removing content that was paid for

Minecraft has always got to be #1 for me, most people have played it and there is a near limitless things to do, it really is a true sandbox.

I’m torn on #2 because both games or so dear to me, but it’s a split between Kingdom Hearts 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3. I’d probably give it to KH2 just because you can also do so much to make the game either harder or more enjoyable, and Disney just adds that extra oomph to make it charming

As for 3, I’m not really sure. There are so many games I’ve had really fond memories of, between sleepovers with my neighbor and staying up all night playing Timesplitters Future Perfect on the GameCube, to Black ops 2 and all the fun I had with my online friends. As unsatisfying as it is, I think I’d have to leave 3 open

Yeah it’s really weirdly paced for a new player. When I started playing, they threw me directly into a late story mission and I had no idea who people were or what was going on. To no one’s surprise, I experienced story events out of order and was spoiled by the game itself

Doesn’t seem like that fair of a comparison. MGS3 HD is a finished game while the trailer they released of MGS3 Delta is an in-engine preview which mostly just shows what the engine CAN DO not necessarily what the game is going to look like

and even more DLC in Early Access

I definitely don’t mind the multiplayer being separate. I typically buy games years after their shelf life and their multiplayer is usually dead, so having that MP component be a separate download would save me space for something I can’t even play

Callie, 8 miesięcy temu

I’m so glad I can buy the games separately. I’m really only wanting to play MGS3 but already own 1 and 2 on GOG

Minecraft hands down. I’ve put more time into that game than any other in my life. I constantly go back to it, and almost everyone I meet online plays it or has played it. There is so much enjoyability from a game as limitless as that

Callie, 8 miesięcy temu

69% of my games are played

Also nearly 15k hours of playtime

Time to pay off my debt to a raccoon and fish all day.

Definitely not a bad way to live. Talk to your animal villagers, the debt doesn’t have any interest and you could just never pay it and I’d get to just chill in nature

absolutely. Blizzard just had major layoffs to their Esports league, Epic had more than 800 layoffs, Naughty Dog laid off 25 or more developers and Ubisoft let go of 6 more employees after axing 60 earlier this year. and ofc the 9% of layoffs coming from CDPR this year.

The gaming industry absolutely needs union protections to protect their jobs, especially since a job should be steady income, not a volatile workload like developing seems to be in gaming right now. another benefit might be to making big execs actually have reason to listen to workers when it comes to cases of sexual harassment like what we’ve seen at Zenimax and Blizzard

from what I remember, the Ratchet and Clank online modes were fairly fun, but even when I played, they were fairly old and took like 20min to find a match

tons of indie artists, every sound file you’d want, including flacs for their entire catalog and streaming, it’s lovely

Fr, you can optimize really well when you know exactly what hardware someone will be running.

I remember when I first rented FEAR at blockbuster, that section of the hallway at the start is so memorable.

I don’t remember specifics but it’s when you’re going through the building and keep seeing the little girl, then you get to a cluttered hallway and I think it was set ablaze and you were thrown back by her

The body horror has always been one of the best things about Dead Space, the creatures are just horrifying

maybe, idk, don’t require servers for every aspect of your game

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

yeah, it had solo. you’d case the area by yourself while 3 bots stayed behind, until alarms triggered. you could also configure who the bots were and what their loadout was

same way they monetized Payday 2 since it was already pretty live-service-esque in it’s monetization, at least on PC. if they wanted to, they could have just added a battlepass with limited cosmetics alongside the steam marketplace cosmetics of Payday 2

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

that’s pretty great that a big release like this supports Linux

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

I’m really disappointed by their absolute blunders when they had a working formula with Payday 2

Can’t play offline

Can’t play solo without queuing. ???

You can lag if you have a bad connection while playing SOLO

Long queues that go upwards of 20+ minutes

Challenges being the only way to level up, instead of actually doing content you want to play

As much as I like Microsoft, I don’t want them to touch Nintendo. I have no faith that they would continue doing what Nintendo does well.

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

Nintendo is successful because of their games, not because their hardware is the best

I agree, their first party games are usually extremely polished and accessible for everyone in the family. their concepts overall for consoles are typically really good though. just about every console since the Wii (except WiiU) has felt great to use, even if they all have some kind of gimmick. But I think the gimmicks help in their favor, it makes them stand out from PS and Xbox

I really wish we could. for me, it’s not just OP, I wanna block GameCensor too, just clickbait nothingburgers

blocking OP is just a bandaid fix, not a real solution

If you’re counting the one with astation that I’m thinking of, then I think the one at the very beginning after truly starting act 1 with the mind flayer could count

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

EXTREMELY EARLY ACT 1 SPOILER

spoilerit’s when the ship crashes and you find the dying mind flayer in the wreckage. he will attempt to control your parasite and make you give yourself unto him and if you fail the checks to stop it, he’ll eat your brain and if you don’t have any other party members then it’ll game over

currently going back through Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door, haven’t played it since I was a kid and never finished it

Remake doesn’t come out until next year, I’m playing through the game on an emulator currently

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu (edited 9 miesięcy temu)

Oh I’m, sorry I misread the original comment >w<

Yeah, I’m still going to play the remake when it comes out even if it’s the exact same game, cause having and HD and wide screen version I can play on the go would be fantastic. but also just playing in bed would be a lot more comfortable than sitting at a desk to play

It definitely happens with Xbox Series controllers too. Bought a brand new Series controller and a rechargeable pack only for it to get unbearable drift within 5 months

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

I gave it a try a few weeks ago and it just felt really floaty, like there was no weight to the drifting or steering

I don’t mind if they need to patch the game after launch to fix issues. you can only find so much with a QA team, the mass market is really helpful for finding issues you’d never be able to find as a team of 20 or 50 if they’re being generous.

I do absolutely despise live-service games with no choice for offline play. Diablo 4 is a more recent, prime example of this. servers went offline for a day or two IIRC, no one could play the game they payed money for, at a premium price at that. the biggest issue is that it puts a life-span on your games and I don’t think any media should have that.

Binary yes or no is not useful to me

for the most part it seems to work better than on Metacritic or other review sites with 5-10 star ratings. a lot of people are very unreasonable with 0 star reviews where they’ll give it a 0 for a slight inconvenience even if the game is completely playable

might as well lump the 0-4 star people together on a 10 scale

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

Ik you edited your comment but I also really want a steam controller 2 The first controller is great although running into modern problems like micro usb being trash and rechargeable AA batteries get stuck in the battery compartment. But a new controller with dual thumb sticks would be fantastic! Even if it would make the controller a slight bit more bulky

NieR Automata for me, even with its 4 required playthroughs, it’s a fantastic story that genuinely made me question a lot of beliefs I had about life

Alternatively, NieR Replicant which is just as good on its 2nd and third playthrough because of knowing everything in the first playthrough

As other publications have said, nothing is 100% confirmed, it was only reportedlyshown off to devs.

I didn’t hear about the quest mod getting its own game, what’s it called?

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

Same here, except it also applies to if a friend gifts me a game. I’m way more likely to play the game I bought because I have money that could be wasted, rather if it’s free, I have no obligation to ever touch it

I’ve heard really good things about the remake of 12, basically improved on everything wrong with the original game

Callie, 9 miesięcy temu

most multiplayer shooters to me, they’re typically filled with the most vile shit you’ll ever hear coming from an 8 year old, and the adults are just as bad and should know better.

competitive shooters like Rainbow Six Siege or Counter Strike are also really bad in casual modes, especially if you’re a new or lackluster player. You’ll be flamed, team killed, and your teammates will try their absolute best to ruin your entire day over a hobby

Callie, 10 miesięcy temu

Or they stop pushing for high graphical fidelity and ultra realism

Callie, 10 miesięcy temu

same here. I typically buy games on super deep sales a few years after the games comes out just so I don’t end up disappointed by the product, but this game feels properly polished. a few bugs here and there but none so far that I’ve encountered that are game-breaking

Callie, 10 miesięcy temu

It’s such a good expansion!
