I played a bit of Craftopia awhile back from the same developers. It was weird, disjointed, buggy and strange.

I expect this will be more of the same. But I hope I’m wrong. It would be wild for this game to be decent to good.

Well they also launched a full month earlier than they anticipated, because they didn't want their launch to compete against Starfield. Sounds like they had some tough tradeoffs. The ending definitely does fall apart a little bit, but they are quickly releasing patches. It'll get there eventually.

I played through the campaign, then got bored pretty much immediately after. Switched back to Path of Exile and made 2 characters this league. Having a blast.

Steam Deck is excellent for work travel. Easy to set up and play in bed at a hotel.

Definitely agree with this. Locked 30fps mode with motion blur set to 2/5 was the ideal way to play this game. Performance mode was far too unstable and blurry especially on a larger TV. Digital Foundry also suggested just locking it to 30 and not switching back and forth. Your eyes do eventually adjust.

I wish the performance mode was better, but it seems pretty clear that 30fps was the performance target.

I know what this post is referencing, but I don’t think that was really the message that they were trying to convey.

Baldurs Gate 3 is an incredibly good game, but it will be difficult for most average studios to emulate their success.

They had a very long developmental cycle of 6+ years, very successful early access, and a team of 400+ experienced developers who know this genre better than anyone.

I would absolutely love to see another studio attempt something this ambitious, but it’s going to be really hard to top this game for the foreseeable future.

The game does have an easy mode if you want it to be more brain dead. But it definitely does still require some thought for sure.

Yes! This happens to me constantly. My only major gripe so far.

I tried out the demo, surprised to see it’s being ported to Unity.

Demo feels very early and has some problems (like not being able to quit properly) but it’s a promising start otherwise.

If there are changes to larger files, often times you are just required to redownload the entire file to replace the existing one.

Ultimately depends on the architecture of the game.

This is a serious bummer.

Monetization in some of these game modes was really bad with pay to win, but I really liked a lot of these games that are forced to shut down now.

Glad to see somebody else mention this. Hotline Miami 1 and 2 have some seriously great music. I listen to it for background music all the time.
