Yup. Completely agree. It’s still relatively easy to meet people in say MMORPGs, but that isn’t for everyone. I used to love PvP games, especially the BF franchise but it’s just not the same anymore when they skill set you every match and it’s just chaos until the round ends.
One of the biggest issues I have with online currently is that Corps run it from the ground up. It used to be if you wanted you could host a server or pay for one to be hosted, set game mechanics how you’d like, hell even run mods. You could then find like minded individuals and form clans and have a blast. Now you’re forced into their model, and if it fails well fuck you. I would have LOVED for Anthem to be successful. The gameplay that was there was amazing, just undercooked. Knowing the insanity of individuals when they’re passionate about something, I have no doubt this game would have been more successful if they’d released private servers and modding tools.
If you’re looking for good titles to acquire through GoG I’d recommend Cyberpunk 2077. Game goes on sale pretty regularly but is 100 percent worth it at full price. That is of course if you’re into FPS. I could gush about it but I’ll leave this short haha.
This I HARD agree on. Non-optional resets / wipes in Tarkov got tedious as fuck, especially redoing the quest lines over and over. It’s super nice they make it optional.
Honestly by what I’ve seen and heard it’s minimum reward for a whole lot of effort. I guess it’s great for no lifers, kids, and streamers but idk, just no real draw. Especially with how crazy low drop rates are for blueprints. I have a ton of hours and still don’t have everything.
I swear to god this game is my biggest lament of the last 10 years. It had so much potential and they royally fucked it up from day 1. What was released was amazing but then it was quickly found there were game breaking issues that literally broke core gameplay due to how gear calculations were done. Not like a ‘oh let’s patch this’ but like ‘jesus Christ this is broken at the foundation’ type. It was also released way too early. They literally had time gated bullshit just to try and slow players down so they wouldn’t burn through content too quickly. Anyway, my rant aside what was there was glorious and I hope at some point we get a spiritual successor because damn was it fun and DAMN was it beautiful.
Just to save people a click it’s $25 to get the collection, so approx $3.50ish each for 7 titles? I can speak to Trepang II, solid game, but can’t speak to the others. The first Dead Island was fun.
Bluey and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (of not the remake) for kids shows. Bluey isa. Double hitter as it’s great for kids and adults as well. There’s a few tearjerker episodes in there for adults around life and kids growing up, along with just great ideas on how to parent and play. MMCH is great as it doesn’t subscribe to the overly energetic constant cutting camera angles bullshit that’s super addictive and bad for kids. Shows are calm, involve learning and problem solving, and are very much like ‘okay get up and expend some energy, go play’ at the end. Honorable mention to Tumbleleaf. It’s for kids that are a bit older, is a little more weird, but still fun. Art style is cool on it as well. Best of luck building your library and congrats on being a dad!!
Too bad the company is in the shitter. More power to them though! Who knows, maybe they’ll turn things around.
Man this trailer fucking THREW me. At first I thought the man that was chained and the celebration were separate, then was like ‘oh! Classic pagan wicker man, cool’ then the dudes fucking back burst open and oh my fucking god I’m def on board
I am so god damned excited it’s finally happening. Expanding on the lore from the first, with new environments, new weapons, bringing the brother in because the sister is missing…just…fuck man I don’t want to wait. For those who haven’t played it: Control Ultimate Edition is currently on sale. 100 percent recommend that game over and over.
Wait what? So is it a Divinity game in the same universe but will be a different genre? I’m confused…
Bro you NEED to go back and finish it, and DEF play the DLCs as well. Fucking amazing game.
I get the verbiage needs to be accurate but I doubt they’re cancelling it completely, they’re just cancelling with that particular studio because of their use of AI slop, right? Not that this is high on my list or something, just a shame if this is the last we hear of the game.
Honestly not really that different from Reddit. My only warning is make sure to check the community a post is from that you see on ‘main’. There’s a couple female only communities and holy shit do they get pissed if you accidentally comment because you found a topic interesting enough to but didn’t check that it was a female only community.
I honestly don’t give a fuck. My only hope is he whistle blows and brings down as much as shit as possible when he is fired
It looks phenomenal, but I’m trying to figure out what type of gameplay this is. The Steam page states it’s Single Player, but also online PvP and CoOp as well. So is it something that’s like GTFO but you can play against other squads optionally? I definitely like the gritty art / cyberpunk aesthetic to it. Graphics and destroyable environs look pretty well done too.
Holy shit how long was that? A month? Max? Hopefully this serves as an example of how fucking stupid this is.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Good. Fuck any publicly held company.
