I’m currently sitting at 306 total Epic titles, out of which I’ve paid for a grand total of 1. Even that was a gigantic mistake.

I’ll continue collecting these, just out of spite to ye old Tim Sweeney, and his bullshit attitude towards the community, purely because he has to pay out of pocket for every license we claim

Just got a copy a couple weeks ago from GOG. Excellent little game

Heroic is great. Especially with the upcoming umu integration, it’s as seamless as it gets. Plus if you install anything from there, you also get a choice to add it to your steam library for easy access

Turns out free speech costs 40% more now

There are several contributors here.

Halfway through the lifecycle of Destiny 2 so far, Bungie realized that they have an insane amount of technological debt, and started cutting content out of the game, because it was unsustainable otherwise. The original promise was to rotate the cut content back in, but it was essentially just a lie.

One other outstanding issue is how bland, underdeveloped, and uninspired things are. Every update is “two tokens, and a blue”. Every new event is either standing on a plate, or throwing a core. Core game systems don’t work. The entire new season is fundamentally broken, and took away thing people still liked, just to return a ton of things people despised.

There is a lot more to it, but the core of the issue can be narrowed down to the business leadership being completely out of touch with reality, and bleeding resources

It’ll continue becoming worse too.

Most of the people I know are fed up with the issues. When frontiers comes around, I will not be buying it, at any price.

Bungie have shown that they are unable to improve things long-term. It’s always a bungie (sorry) cord jump, except with every bounce they sink deeper instead

Let’s not jump to accusations now. People can be critical of something, without it being inherently negative. If anything, I want them to do better, because I know they can do better

Not disagreeing, but I hate my limits too.

Persona and Metaphor deserve all the success they’ve gotten, but after putting several hundred hours into the RGG games, they could have at least given Majima a new shirt, you know?

They’re not a retro company. They’re just stuck in the past, and unable to head into the future. The consistency and the quality of their products say everything anyone needs to know

Guildwars has been my choice for quite a while now. I enjoy most things about it, and it doesn’t feel like a job either. I can do my things, take a break, come back and still have fun. Plus all the cash shop items can be bought with in-game gold, which i do regularly.

Apart from that, I still really like ESO, in theory, but Zenimax continue showing incompetence and greed, so the interest there is decreasing fast. And that’s a shame

It’s essentially a MonsterHunter clone, originally revealed 7 years ago, but based on what I’m hearing, since then it’s been riddled with horrible mismanagement issues, and players lost the vast majority of their earned items, for them to return as mtx later

This is excellent news.

I doubt much of anything will change for ESO itself, but happier workers are the real goal

I’d really love to play this game eventually. Looks really cool, and a couple of my friends were quite impressed by it

Half of the features launched with iOS 18.x don’t work in Europe. I’m glad i don’t need to turn off any AI bullshit myself, but screen mirroring? Why the hell is that region locked

A corpo bully pointing fingers at some AI slop they use, how convenient

I keep meaning to play the first one, it’s always looked pretty interesting to me. This looks pretty exciting for a trailer too

Ubisoft are genuinely speedrunning their way towards a shutdown and a buyout

The A580 launched at 175$+tax. We are not talking about the same card

Hopefully it will bring some decent generational improvements. The only thing i’m not a huge fan of is the 45% price increase over lasts gen, which isn’t even putting used or discounted cards into consideration

That shouldn’t really be news to anyone. They’ve stretched themselves almost too thin with the scale of Elden Ring, and it’s a miracle, that it’s turned out this damn good.

But even besides that, I’d always take a well put together game every 5 years, than some uninspired yearly slop. Good games are still art
