In my opinion the problem is not who would agree/disagree with it, its more like the fanbase and marketing is on another level and most people would just not care as long as they have the latest iPhone with the latest buzzword functions and features.

I feel people are more forgiving towards apple. I dont have any study or anything to back it up, just can’t see why the die-hard userbase of the most isolated and curated ecosystem would care about anything.

I will always disagree with the “its optional” reasoning.

In this case they are technically selling a shortcut to their own game. This means the game either have some boring and straight up tedious mechanics on purpose, to annoy people or its shit. In both cases its a bad game design and people who will buy the fast travel MTX would want to skip certain parts of the gameplay - in this case backtracking or travelling in general.

I am a huge fan of the first game, but repeating the fast travel shenanigans on purpose, after so many years of feedback from fans is just corporate greed 101.

After the announcement I thought DD2 will be a day 1 purchase, but Im glad I waited and from the looks of it I will continue to wait for a few more years for a complete edition for 20 USD or just not play it at all.

I bought the game in early access and saw how it become from one of the most promising arpgs to a bandwagon of hate and negativity. While it has many problems, I don’t think it deserve all the hate it received.

The game itself is pretty cool imho, however it had a catastrophic launch with lots of server issues for online characters, multiplayer problems and some bugs, causing a negative review tsunami. To make things worst the devs were kind of slow to resolve the issues and released the patches only when they reputation already took a hit.

I can not comment on the multiplayer/hardcore min/max builds and late game stage of the game. As far as I can tell there were some complaints on those fronts as well. I mostly play arpgs alone.

With this in mind, if you like the genre and not planning to play with friends I think its still a pretty entertaining title, nice graphics and decent build variety.

Macaroni_ninja, 27 days ago

Agree 100%. Also if I remember correctly there was a case of over promising and not delivering. So part of the negativity from the community had a very valid reason.

…and we all know the wraith of the internet.

Thanks for the info!

It can directly affect how many people will buy the game in the future on PC. Might not be a huge number, and maybe it look like kids throwing a tantrum, but as long as it takes out any ammount of money from MS pocket Im all for it.

Edit: nevermind, its positive reviews, I did not pay attention.

Macaroni_ninja, 1 month ago

Sure, edited it.

Left a steam review for the game in 2014, never imagined it will take a decade for it to release.

Why people trying to help Bethesda? They are a shitty company and Starfield deservs to have many negative reviews.

Do not buy buggy, uninteresting games and hope the community will improve them, so years later you can have a playable half decent product. Do not encourage big companies into thinking this kind of business practice is viable. Vote with your wallets people.

I loved that even back then it was super funny how they took the trolls literally and kept their promise to beat up everyone who badmouthed them.

It was like, wow: what if my actions online could have consequences.

Its more about DLCs, then microtransactions but the two are very similar.

Okay lets say its a Steam Sale and they have publisher highlights. Lets saaay…Ubisoft or EA or one of these big corporate publishers.

Huuuge banners::Sale up-to 85% off

So since I am a patient gamer I start browsing and look at some 8-10 years old AAA titles I didn’t bother to pay full price for at relese. Like some older AC, Ghost Recon, or something for under 10 EUR/USD. Cool, then you click on it and what I see?

THATS ONLY THE FUCKING BASE GAME!?!?!! They still sell 3 premium editions with the DLCs and the one with all the content is something like 25-30 EUR/USD. With 85% off. So the full price is still something like 100+ EUR/USD. Fuck this artificially inflated price, I’m not paying that much for a decade old fucking game.

While other publishers roll all content into a complete edition or even release free remasters with all content included for considerably lower price for their older titles these greedy fuck publishers still trying to sell us exclusive content from a decade ago. Fucking boils my blood.

Macaroni_ninja, 3 months ago

I am trying to vote with my wallet and not buy any Ubisoft games at all if possible. The last AC I enjoyed was Black Flag, but still didn’t finish it.

So my whole rant is not that I cannot live without the DLCs, but the shitty business practise of selling them like this.

By default there are some texture issues, switching to Proton GE resolved everything.

Consoles are more and more like PCs, with many multimedia, productivity and utilility apps and even web browsing, so the Steam Deck IMO perfectly fits the discussion.

Out of the box it has a strict console-like UI and limited functionality for everything else other than gaming. You need to take special steps to use it as a PC (reboot in desktop mode, attach peripherals, etc)

Macaroni_ninja, 4 months ago

There is no strict definition of what a console is. Just because the linux OS is not restricted and the hardware can be used as a pc with extra steps are we excluding the SD from the console topic?

AP is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with amazing mechanics, your choices really matter and the dialogues are amazing. But at the same time the mechanics are janky AF, some skills are bonkers and the graphics are mediocre even for the era.

A must play in my book!

I last saw them in 2015 in London and it was one of the best concerts of my life.

Macaroni_ninja, 4 months ago

Bought this game like 4 times. GoG, Steam, boxed version and as part of an RPG bundle and it’s amazing they are still updating it.

Last time I played it on Steam Deck and it ran amazingly out of the box
