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..

[–] AbsolutelyNotCats@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
