So I see this game. Let me sum up what I actually see:

  • Reviews are mixed: not a great start
  • Requires 3rd-party account: fuck that
  • 60 euros base game: expensive, especially when the game has mixed reviews
  • 175 euros DLC’s: are you fucking kidding me? On top of 60 euros for the base game, there’s another 175 fees for content?
  • purchasable CoD points: so pay to win?

And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.

This is just a random example. I’ve quit playing COD after Modern Warfare.

To end this positively: I recently started playing Necesse which is really nice, and I started playing an old time favorite again after a long time: World of Goo. Both worth my money :)

    I took a break from necesse after no lifing it for weeks after I discovered it. Now that it’s just hit 1.0 I managed to gift a copy to a friend, and watching him outgrow my hard earned knowledge in a day with some guidance in mechanics was probably the most satisfaction I’ve felt this year.

    Indies are carrying the industry and have been for a long time. Hmu for some necesse.

        I’m at 60hrs and counting. Started new char and world for 1.0 as well as play with my bud and so far we’ve basically caught up to where my pre1.0 save was at.

      That’s really nice! I’m finding it hard to start a proper game, I need some motivation. Hopefully a friend of mine has time to play together :)

        DM me if you fail to find friends to play with, they also have a discord server and I see folks playing in there basically daily.
