Is anything other than sexting referred to as inappropriate when a minor is involved?

It has had a lot of polish aince the beta last year, and the store stuff/season pass microtransaction hell was dialed down. The first season pass appears to be free, not sure how they will handle that stuff in the future.

It is still fun to play although all the flashy daily stuff and the awkward menu navigation is atill annoying.

The author apparently doesn’t know that BG3 (and a lot of other games) has an honour mode that doesn’t allow save scumming, so people can choose to play the exact same way if they want to.

I was always impressed by how creative the artwork made out of text were. Yeah, most were made by a program that converted pics to text, but that was automating something that was already being done and they had to pick and choose art that would convert clearly.

If the mtx is meaningless because you can get it easily in game, then it is predatory as it is intended to be purchased by people who are not aware that they can earn it in game. That strikes me as worse than mtx that is required to do something they can’t without it, because it preys on people’s lack of information and they aren’t making an informed choice.

The outcome of splitting the content is that there are a lot of people who want to have everything and they will end up paying far more for a la carte than for an expansion. The people who wouldn’t have bought the expansion still buy nothing, and pretty much nobody just buys a couple of things to save money.

Microtransactions is a system designed to prey on completionist whales. Barely anyone only buys a couple of things and doesn’t end up spending more than $30 over time as the content is drip fed and the new hotness comes along to replace the old hotness. Those that don’t spend anything, or just buy one thing before catching on, weren’t going to spend the $30 anyway.

It is false choice that negatively impacts the game experience.

Unless the entire game is developed by an independent studio and is entirely funded on microtransactions, buying micro transactions is just there for more company profit on top of the regular game sales by stripping content out of a full release. It isn’t supporting the development.

The market didn’t want it.

Visual style for sure.

Overwatch has far better voice acting though, the lines from this clip sounded like practice lines that should have been cut. Like someone clearly pretending to be excited instead of actually sounding excited.

I heard you like microtransactions, so I put microtransactions in your microtransactions.

It would make less sense if the games were single player and full price, but Lethal Company, Palworld, and Helldivers 2 are all at $40 or below for the base games and have a multi-player experience.

Of course people are going to jump on lower priced multi-player games with positive word of mouth quickly so they can play with their friends and get a few dozen hours or more entertainment.

Obviously rarely enough that they expect people to pay for them.

Is it really review bombing when the complaints are valid?

They could have either not had fast travel at all or only made it available in game. Making it something you can buy through mtx is the terrible part.

It also gets much easier once you manage to get your water supply under control, almost nullifying the survival mechanics.

So, authentic beaver gameplay?

At least 9/10 have in the past, because my thought is that surely I will get to them in a few months well after the refund window.

I leave a few large installed games I don’t play in my library to remind me to pace my purchases. Now I’m down to 3/4 gathering dust!

That said, don’t regret any that I picked up but didn’t end up working out.

Yes! Nobody has the time to play all of the great games that have come out over the years.

Not to mention most people don’t enjoy every great game either. I think Subnautica is a great game, but it just doesn’t work for me for a few reasons related to tracking where stuff is.

I tend to fall back on games that have a setting and possibly a story, but have the main gameplay available as repetitive things to do.

Fighting games

Racing games that don’t have a defined ending

Games like Battletech 2019 which has a story mode and also a never ending campaign mode.

Open world games like Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto, but mostly side quests and doing random non-story things.

My main reluctance for playing new games is learning new mechanics and story with all the interruptions of adulthood. I keep buying them and just planning on playing them later.

100% accurate. Hell, it doesn’t even feel like paying a premium when the user cost is the same or lower than in stores the majority of the time.

Knowing they were charging for new characters was almost a dealbreaker for me. This would have stopped me if I had known.
