you’ve been able to fucking play it for a decade

tech demo out = game is playable, unbeatable logic

If they said they released it years ago and called these all “updates” you’d have nothing to bitch about

It's not about what the developers say the state of the game is, it's about what's actually out and playable - and for Star Citizen, last time I checked it's some barebones version with one planet, bajillion missing features, 200000000$ ships and in general a buggy mess

You star citizen fans are insufferable. I get spammed with these videos, ads and articles hyping up the game for being the best thing ever, always claiming the next update to be some gamechanger but it's still the same unfinished garbage. Love how every time someone mentions the absolutely disgusting monetisation, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Now get back to licking chris robert's shoes, you've missed a spot

If you want to rant about GPU prices, why randomly call out one/two specific games? Not like it doesn't apply to any other modern release. I don't get this post

Also I looked up some benchmarks and you can get 60FPS on medium with an RX 6600 (about 200 USD curently in the US) in both finals & helldivers. Could possibly get away with a cheaper card on Low settings

I'm on the other side of the fence here, amazed that people still bat for a company that can't deliver a product after what, 10 years past the first estimate release date?

The numbers this game pulled during the nextfest have me on edge... it often took me 5 minutes to find a match even when there was just one playable mode and, I assume, no skill-based matchmaking.

It's gonna release for 20 USD, which I much prefer to the free to play model but at the same time I'm really not sure the game can launch into a stable population without that influx of free players

You can actually find the premium currency as a loot item in some mission types

Tried to get into fighting games on a keyboard, could not perform any motion input after an hour of trying, not even a quartercircle. Finally looked it up online and realized you're supposed to drag your finger across the keys, not tap them. Really embarassing

Put like 20hrs into Borderlands 2, really wanted to like the game but I kept getting my teeth smashed in even though I watched guides, used a meta build, tried different characters etc. Then I tried multiplayer with some friends & observed one of them stop progressing to farm some unremarkable zone. After a while she got a specific legendary weapon and proceeded to instantly destroy everything for the next hour+. Finally realized I was approaching the game like it was a narrative FPS when in reality it's an ARPG.

Ouroboros - an RPGmaker game where the protagonist is trapped in a looping simulation and tries to escape without alerting his captors. Short and sweet, perfectly executes the power fantasy of being a hyper competent rational character who's gone completely emotionally numb after living for thousands of years. It's an adult game and features some sex scenes but they're not important and I think they can even be turned off. It goes on an 80% discount every steam sale.

The title feels misleading, this isn't the actual main lawsuit, the case is far from over. I doubt Steam will want to display the game again given that they are still in hot water legally

Kira has been covering the situation from the start and he has a great video talking about this development

Can't stand media that thrusts you into a zany, fantastical world where completely insane shit happens constantly, nothing makes sense, there's no consistency and you're supposed to somehow keep going through the fever dream of a setting for however many hours before you can piece together what's actually going on and become invested

Needless to say I bounced off Nier: Automata really hard

Not OP but I think this needs to be said - it's not that it's a pokemon-like game that just happens to randomly include super out of place looking modern weapons for the hell of it. It's a game with sweatshop labour, eating your pals, pals eating other pals, cannibalism, poaching, death from overwork, all sorts of messed up lore etc. The guns aren't an outlier, they're a fitting part of the game's zany atmosphere

It's an open world survival game where you wake up on the beach of a mysterious island and need to scavenge resouces, explore, build bases and tame monsters to fight for you. You send some of the caught monsters to work in your base, they generate resources which you use to make new equipment to fight and catch stronger pals, eventually reaching the point where you have a powerful team that can take on dungeons and bosses who you want to defeat for story reasons. I think the game's strong points are the base automation and the variety of pals.

It's also got co-op and 32 player public servers

Bless Unleashed has a really long history of being a failure, I think the current iteration is the fifth or sixth version? The publisher has been relaunching this same game for ages, sometimes even changing the platform, usually with few changes if any at all. When the game inevitably fails again, they take whatever money it made, change the name a little and launch it again a few months later. I haven't seen the current reviews but I'm guessing it's people warning potential players about the history of this company. In any case, the game in all it's iterations never seemed more than a thoroughly bland, inoffensive take on an MMORPG that will leave you thinking "Why aren't I playing X instead?". That's my view on it anyway, though it seems consistent with some of the critical reviews it's gotten over the years

Tera has shut down a while ago, used to be a fun game. I think it has a few private servers out there
