Very rarely, usually out of interest for the bonuses or out of spite to a circlejerk that has formed against it. Have they been great games? No, but they have also not turned out to be bad games or something I did not expect, as I did my homework.

Not as long as a Steam account can’t be part of an inheritance. At least not legally so. At best, it just becomes a historical note.

You lost me at massively multiplayer. A single factory layout for one single player is enough to tax a system running Satisfactory. This will have to be dumbed down, people need to ignore the labels it’s flashing out and wait until the gameplay loop is revealed.

… By doubling down on Steam being a subscription service by actually telling you it was, or how Steam admitted it would basically not allow accounts to be passed through inheritance and there is only one service that says they will try, that being GOG? We literally have to fight to have libraries of old games when the generations before had no problem having libraries of their old entertainment to access, communally so even.

The article really is disingenuous. All there is that is seriously doing this is a EU petition, one that will be dead on arrival because most of the affected games sell themselves as subscription services and because shit in the EU gets done when lobbyists usually aren’t homogeneous across country lines, and for this they are. A slap warning or two, that’s about all this will accomplish.

If people moved their game collections over to GOG from Steam, and were clear that this was the reason they were doing it, that would accomplish a lot more. It’s not going to happen, just look where governments are sliding towards, it isn’t towards consumer rights and society as a whole.

I hope this article isn’t because the industry might consider shifting to a complete subscription model, I really can’t afford the rising cost of new games on release or overpriced subscription models.

Sounds like basically Torchlight I & II.

So are they basically going to wipe my mind so that I can rediscover the mouse click loot based ARPG genre again? It was a good genre, but it just so happens that improvements in performance and capability have made other genres more entertaining for me.

This really isn’t that bad, it’s an opportunity to be creative as well. They can replace the balls with anything, say, talismans that they have to stick on the creatures. When summoning them back, they could be reading off of these talismans. It would ironically have more of a Japanese vibe than Pokemon. Other alternatives: for summoning, just replace the balls with curled up miniature versions of the creatures that just expand into size and the capture device can be an artifact that shrinks them and turns them into stone statues you can place in your base. It could go full on occult into summoning circles. They could make it customizable into anything the player chooses as a jab at Nintendo at how worthless their patent is.

Kind, well cultured people? Please, direct me to them so I may shit on them.

Honestly, give me a good singleplayer vampire game that has Netflix Castlevania-like depth.

Why did they go multiplayer instead of story driven singleplayer? It almost kept me from Deathloop, too.

You can link from almost any other instance. This is a skill issue.

The adoring fan and characters like claptrap are proof that I would never make it as lead designer for game sequels. I would never include a character like those and think to myself “This needs to be more than an annoying minor side character, I need to bring them closer to begin to the identity of the games.”

It’s funny how many trolls and crazy people are attracted to positions of power, I suspect it’s compensation. That last message says it all. Their user seems to have been nuked, at least in their home instance. Ironic they had to remove the same mod they not only criticized but also continued criticized in their remove mod post unironically. Does this mean they will move back to lemmy.world? Didn’t they move out to lemmy.ml?

If anything is bad about it, it’s that it’s the most Bethedaist game to date. They are going full steam ahead with the Creation Store, and after trying to charge slightly less than 10€ for the second quest to the Tracking Alliance, they are now charging more than 10€ for a standalone quest .

I love the genre, but I’ve just had to stop playing it today because of the extreme whaling monetization. I refuse to be part of a franchise where the whales are going to set its course. They’ve tried to do this with Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but never this early on, and paying so much for a single quest sets a terrible precedent that’s far worse than simple cosmetic horse armor. I can ignore everything else in the Creation Store, but not getting left out of the story and lore of the game because I’m not a whale

They’ve reduced the price by half, but it still seems too high for me, even if it is 5€ - for six of these you could get a full game.

Could be, people want the choice of a platform instead of cheap devices with overpriced games that cost more in the long-term.

I better be able to set the airplane in autopilot and then go out and watch an inflight movie. Unfortunately, walking around inside the plane doesn’t seem possible.

Then again, if I couldn’t walk around the plane while it’s flying upside down or while part of its hull has been ripped off the plane, I would be disappointed. Preferably with NPC coworkers and attendants screaming at you.

Too many capitalist milkshakes, and Turkey has the added incentive of wanting to keep its culture closed off from the rest of the “West”.

Just poor enough not to be affected, had to stick to the 12th generation.

CPUs? No. GPUs running on ARM architecture? Yes.
