Personally I prefer Last Epoch. Each ability you equip has its own upgrade tree that lets you customize how it behaves.

There’s a place for both, really.

Sure, but when someone whines “Why did they give this character depth? They could have made them shallow and boring!” I’m not going to give that person much credit.

Also, DOOM guy does have some backstory for those that care to look for it in the games. Easily ignored for those that don’t.

Found David Jaffe’s account.

Not every game needs to have a background story or even a story at all!

The original GoW games had a lot of story. They didn’t add more story to the new games, just better story.

These showrunners aren’t making Lord of the rings over here

Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.

After completing a settlement you can choose to continue playing it.

It’s a Rougelite Citybuilder with a demo that lets you play the actual game (only limits your max level and what biomes you can play in). That’s all it took to get me in.

Make sure you have housing for everyone, upgrade your hearth, and unassign your woodcutters during Storm.

Citadel upgrades for essential blueprints of race specific housing and field kitchen will help keep resolve up in the early game.

Cornerstones the reduce hostility will help a ton in the mid to late game.

Edit: And don’t open a glade unless you have a reason to. Every glade you open increases the hostility level.

Personally I don’t open small glades unless I have a cornerstone that triggers off it or my humans or foxes have seen something there. I’ll spend the first 2 years building up my initial settlement, then start of drizzle year 3 break open a dangerous glade for those sweet event rewards. I’ll continue to open a dangerous glade every year or two afterwards depending on how things are going.
Much like how once you get comfortable with the difficulty level it’s time to increase it, once you feel comfortable with how your settlement is running it’s time to open a dangerous glade.

I’m not convinced there are “unwinnable” settlements. They might be unwinnable for me at my current skill level, but there are people who play at Prestige 20 who I’m sure couldn’t possibly lose at the difficulty I’m playing at regardless of what RNG throws at them.

I’ve done plenty of SNES and NES emulation, haven’t done much on SEGA yet. Any suggestions for SEGA games that are worth trying?

That is a good starting list, thank you. I will check those out.

Lenna’s Inception: A 2D Zelda clone about the world glitching out and you taking the place of the main character.

I will be checking that out, thank you for the tip.

If they weren’t profitable at the current price they wouldn’t be charging the current price.

I could always get one of those games off the high seas and pay the same amount. I’m not going to give Epic the engagement numbers to get investors with.

“Supporting competition” is not a good enough reason to use a shitty service. If I start a service that charges twice as much as Steam and has none of the features would you use it in order to “support competition”?

If the only reason to purchase from Epic is “they exist” that’s not good enough.

I will happily avoid Epic’s attempts to be a monopoly now over worrying that Steam might be shitty in the future.

CileTheSane, rok temu

Ok, but as a consumer I’m fine with the shit competitor existing but I’m not going to use it.

CileTheSane, rok temu

But Epic is a shitty store today. I’m not going to use it out of fear the Steam might become a shitty store tomorrow.

CileTheSane, rok temu

Epic has in the past declined hosting games that don’t agree to exclusivity, so it’s not always the dev’s choice.

CileTheSane, rok temu

Just because they aren’t good at it doesn’t mean they aren’t trying very hard to do so, and will clearly be very shitty if they ever achieve it.

Do you guys not have phones? With an internet connection to read about the things Blizzard has been doing with their games recently?

After hearing what happened with Diablo Immortal I decided to wait a month before even considering it. Glad I did.

I didn’t enjoy how the “correct” way to play was to spend your points on stats instead of fun abilities.

Last Epoch scratches the ARPG itch for me and has a lot of customization (each skill has its own talent tree that can change how it behaves.)

CileTheSane, rok temu

Oh absolutely. Never pre-order games. At least wait a day to check user reviews and make sure it’s not immediately broken.

Just pick your pronouns when you create your character. These are people getting their panties in a twist because they are being reminded that other people can choose different pronouns.

If someone made a “killing Jews” mod it wouldn’t be allowed either.

Nazis aren’t welcome.

Whether or not it should be, isn’t LGBT issues political/controversial?

Simply acknowledging LGBT exist

1. isn’t political
2. helps make it less political

Well they’re fine with murder but not removing the pronoun selector? Odd mentality.

Said the person arguing in favour of removing the pronoun selector, but not arguing that they should remove the murder.

Keep clutching those pearls Karen.

It doesn’t help me, and it doesn’t help gay people.

So who are you helping right now?

If everything is political then it’s impossible to make a game that isn’t political. This is no more valid than someone complaining that including an option for skin tone is political.

CileTheSane, rok temu

Well this is bullshit but is there anything I as a non-developer can do about it?

CileTheSane, rok temu

And how do I know which ones those are?

CileTheSane, rok temu

Aww man it’s actually a bummer to hear so many people are disliking the game.

… Mostly Positive.

When people kept pre-ordering and purchasing unfinished games. If it wasn’t profitable they wouldn’t do it.

And they pretend Epic is the only competition to Steam. Nobody is taking shit about GOG because GOG doesn’t have shitty business practices.
