Awhile ago they released mod support, and I’m pretty sure I remember hearing about a mod that made it real time with pause.
I ended up dropping it too, but it’s more that I’m just not as into rpgs as I was in the past. I can recognize how good it is, but the genre just doesn’t do it for me anymore.
Stalker 2 was a straight fucking banger. Sunk 70 hours into it with my first play through and I’m already craving another run. I swear I’m probably the only person who’s played through the campaign with only like 3 bugs in 70 hours
Stalker 2 is not buggy as hell. I’ve been playing it since launch. It’s got euro jank for sure but nothing that has stopped the mass majority of us from enjoying it.
Helldivers 2 has some stuff you can buy but doesn’t require it at all. I’ve only bought the game and not spent another dime on it and have been having a blast with friends.
V rising is top down coop rpg. It’s a ton of fun as well.
I thought it went into early access a few years ago?
Yeah, it’s got a steam release date of 2021 and it’s still in early access. That said, I also bought it early this year or late last year and have played a lot of it too.
(IDK where I’m going with this other than to say that anyone with even a passing interest in the genre should get Timberborn, it’s fantastic and just getting better.)
I don’t even look at announced or new games anymore. It’s the same open world sandbox go on fetch quests shit but it takes 3x the hard drive and costs over $100 cad.
People hate Nintendo for being a shitty company but I really enjoyed Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. Prior to that though I think the last game I actually enjoyed was Horizon Forbidden West from two years ago.
It’s just Nintendo’s turn to be in the spotlight for being crappy. Most game companies, especially if they’re big enough are crappy in different ways from each other.
Nah. Nintendo has been a shitty company for the last 10 years at the very least. They make good games, but as a company they should fail and go out of business. They are extremely litigious, shutting down many fan projects simply for existing, which apparently is enough to have a chance to hurt their profits on decades old games. Their services suck as well, overpriced and lacking. They close down their online store fronts before everybody else, case in point, the xbox 360 online store was closed down recently, at the end of last year, meanwhile, the Wii has been dead for 6 years already, and it was a console released a year after the 360. There are many other examples on why you shouldn’t support Nintendo, a 15-minute search on the internet will give you plenty.
Just as there are many reasons not to support Microsoft, Sony, Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and so on. None of them is off the hook and they’ve all been under the microscope as well. I wasn’t saying that Nintendo doesn’t do crappy things, but that most game companies do crappy things and they tend to get heat for the crappy things they do almost on a rotation based on what gamers are focusing on.
I believe it, the last games I remember buying and enjoying start to finish were Hi Fi Rush (1/25/2023) and Hogwart’s Legacy (2/10/2023).
Coming up on 2 years with nothing memorable.
Just going to be the one to say it…
Ew, HP.
What?
We’re not allowed to enjoy Harry potter anymore because Rowling is a mega TERF.
This implies Baldur’s Gate 3 (8/3/23) was not memorable, and I take issue with that.
I wanted to like that game, but the turn based combat was fucking mind numbing.
I’m glad it’s not just me
Play it on hard mode so every move matters and the combat gets a lot less boring

Stalker2? Helldivers? V rising?
Some good stuff has come out this year

I’ve got almost 100 hours and have only had 1 bug. I broke my don’t preorder rule for it since its Ukraine…but even day 1 I had no serious issues.
Stalker 2 is buggy as hell, that’s a pass.
Helldivers is just another live service game.
V rising? Can’t say I heard of that one.
I haven’t played most of the popular games released this year but I know they’re not any good

I’ve been playing games for over 40 years, I know what I like.

There have been a few good indie games. Been playing a lot of Timberborn this year for instance.
That said, it’s just helping me catch up on my backlog.

Timberborn is among my all time favorites

For palworld players, Nintendo is the current boogeyman, thanks to the Legends Arceus gameplay patents.
