That's why i don't game anymore, well that and because I keep getting fucked by young people in multiplayer games
Oh, I still game, but mostly older games and GotY editions. And Indies.
AAA titles are dead for me, I want to buy a full game, with no in-game store, no 10ish DLCs available, no always on fuckery etc.
And if there are 1 or 2 huge expansions (like in Witcher 3) I have no problem with that. I bought expansions in the past, that's fine.
I used to be fine with all the shit practices you mentioned since I just wanted to play the games, but then I played Baldurs Gate 3 and remembered how gaming used to be.
I don't think I'll continue to buy DLC-ridden, half-finished and sometimes even outright broken games. Looking at you Diablo 4...
In that sense the publishers were rightfully afraid of the game. I guess it reminded a lot of us what we lost over the years.
From Soft is the light in the darkness.
Turns out that a creative director that unapologetically makes exactly the game that they wanted to make is a winning formula.
You know, some people pay top dollar to be fucked by young people..
I know, but I don't think those "young people" are on adderall 24/7 haha
Some of them might! If they actually have ADHD, for example 🤷
Single player and coop in where it's at.
PvP games ain't fun if the majority of the base doesn't have work to go to.
ayo what games you playin
None
