I love cyberpunk, but it’s not the game that was advertised. With modding and phantom liberty I’ve done ~4 full playthroughs of the game and enjoyed every one of them though. So if you haven’t modded the heck out of it, it might be worth trying.

Edit: I just realized you’re not the guy I replied to before. Points still stand, but they’re a little less relevant.

I completed Doom Eternal on nightmare too, at least in my case I just enjoy the gameplay elements of doom significantly more than gameplay elements of soulslikes. They’re fundamentally different kinds of difficulty.

But we can probably agree to disagree. Video games are preferences first and foremost. Different individuals like different ones, and that’s not only ok, but should be encouraged

Nah. Soulslikes are imo awful to play. There’s really nothing fun about them to me. There’s plenty of people who enjoy them, but they’re not a universally fun experience. I’d slam my balls in a door before needing to complete a soulslike. They’re not fun to me, and that’s completely fine

Modding hopefully will be a feature in the future. I’d love to have factorio with Pokémon slaves

You’re only missing out if you enjoy soulslikes. If you don’t, you’re just going to be miserable

Orchestra positions are often jobs that these people will keep for life or until a seat in a new orchestra opens up. There’s an extremely limited number of jobs. I had a fairly distant cousin audition for the Seattle Symphony, for the single open trumpet seat there were north of 200 applicants. It’s such an incredibly competitive field that if you walk out, you might just possibly never get back in.

I’m not 100% sure exactly what happened, but my best guess is that it just got stale quickly. The twitch streamers and kids who hop from game to game played for a few weeks, then when they got bored it just started dropping off in popularity, eventually leading to the death spiral.

I know at least for myself I just didn’t enjoy the gameplay loop as much as I did Apex legends, so I just went back to what I was familiar with and sunk another couple thousand hours in.

This is the cycle most new FPS games have done the last few years. Nothing outside of CoD, Apex and Fortnite seem to stick. The Finals, Battlebit, Splitgate all had massive initial players, then drop off significantly once it’s no longer the newest, greatest thing and go back to the established games.

Skins and Maps are easy money to attempt to keep development going, as these games are often released before they’re ready and due to the financial situation of the developers.

I have the same problem with fallen order. Even on the lowest difficulty the combat feels horrible, which is likely a skill issue, but still isn’t terribly fun

Palworld is best experienced in multiplayer imo. Single player is boring, but when you’ve got friends around it becomes a social event and it’s more fun to work through a lot of things and go adventuring together

Baldurs Gate 3

There’s nothing wrong with the game, I just don’t find it fun to play. Somehow got 48 hours out of it, but never made it to the end of act one. The gameplay just wasn’t something I terribly enjoyed.

I don’t necessarily regret the purchase as supporting smaller, decent studios is a good plan, but it’s still a game I’m not going to get a lot of use out of
