- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 3 days ago:
I still remember they put Deus Ex in the freezer, handed it over to Embracer, then they murdered it before the final chapter.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 4 days ago:
Well, many complex games have no budget on graphics, that’s why you can have one-man army dev making a monster of a game like Aurora 4x.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 5 days ago:
Hearts of Iron 2
When I realised Aurora 4x, a free space 4x game with an ugly UI, does ground trooper even more in-depth than a specialised WWII game, it starts to feel like a toy; there’s just no contest between these two when it comes to complexity in terms of moment-to-moment decision making.

This looks inspired by Condemned: Criminal Origins, alright, count me in.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Nice, reminds me of DMC.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 6 days ago:
No thanks, I have Children of a Dead Earth if I want to build ships, a much better sandbox when you can give your overpowered ships to the AI, and you can try to defeat it with default ships. NMS is too form over function to me.
If I want to build a dollhouse, I will just go with House Flipper, much more focused on interior design, even architects could take inspiration from its design.
NMS is a generalist open-world sandbox; it is not going to compete with specialist sandbox games in terms of depth.

That’s not my argument, you tell that to Jollyllama, but then again:
6IX9INE- GOOBA - 922m views The Best of Beethoven - 66m views
Ouch, he is right, quote and quote with some modification "Some may not enjoy it and that’s their opinion but they are pulling more listener numbers and higher ratings and most other music artists.

You tell that to the chill players when people mention “improve combat”, but why do fans complain when it is free, right? It is wild. xD
- Comment on Gothic 1 Remake | Release Date Trailer (June 5th) 6 days ago:
I have only played Gothic 2, so it’s time to revisit the games at some point. I heard there is a full-game-sized mod as well.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 6 days ago:
Appeal to popularity! Why do you think people like 6ix9ine instead of Beethoven? xD
Enjoy your slop!
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 6 days ago:
A good game doesn’t have to be deep, but it has to be well-executed by a well-formulated concept.
ETS 2 is even simpler, and what do you do in there? You drive from point A to B, but the journey is the reward; it is fleeting, but it is a limited yet beautiful representation of Europe.
There are mountains of Diorama Builders trying to do exactly what the chill crowd want.
Those are way more honest chill games than a fanbase trying to claim to be the best space game, yet you do garbage collection.
I mean, sure, I love to turn off my brain as well when I watch Supernatural, but it is a shallow show despite its charm. xD
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 6 days ago:
Nah, the length of an artwork does not indicate depth, tons of TV shows lasting over 10 seasons and 42 mins per episodes and they are still shallow, still don’t pack a punch like the good old BBC Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Alec Guinness plays the role to perfection.
But remember, that’s where they spent their development time, instead of improving the original concept… Oh, wait, they still have the sandbox as the shield to widen the ocean as much as possible.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 6 days ago:
Pretty sure the ***chill *** portion of the fanbase will disagree with the survival aspect of the game and note how mundane it is, unless you blindfold yourself and never use any scanner.
- Comment on No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer 1 week ago:
Honestly, I would rather pay for quality than be forced to accept a bad update like this one, at least with paid DLC you know what to avoid. The game is still wide as the ocean, deep as a puddle.
- Comment on GOG caught using AI tools, head of product tweeting AI Instagram scams 1 week ago:
AI is a very good summarizer, and I use it to reformat tons of modernising tons of legal texts into markdown and an easier-to-read format for my own reference at work, which I would not dare ask another human being to brave such mundane work. I really don’t see the appeal of AI in art other than place holder.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 1 week ago:
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
I spawned as a nun in-game on the rooftop of a cake restaurant. I’ve got nothing but a bible to wreck zombies. And there are so many, there is no tutorial, the controls are tanky, the devs are out of their mind.

- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 1 week ago:
I have:
-Brave as my browser -Ublock Origin -DNS-wide AdBlock -Youtube sponser block
I barely see any ads now, except those that pop up as an overlay and nag you, and some of them can be block manaully.
- Comment on "Benefit of the doubt" is a very important aspect of a game's success 2 weeks ago:
“Without some benefit of the doubt, many good games would be dropped and deemed bad. Wanting to like a game is a really important factor.”
That depends on what game and what crowd you are talking about. 4x/Grand Strategies/management crowds are much more patient; 70+ hrs/playthrough is common with a steep learning curve, and this is where a reputation for being complex overrides the need for intuitive tutorials.
Highguard is not one of those games; it was doomed to be Concord 2.0 at the beginning, but then again, I don’t really understand those crowds either, since I hardly play PVP shooters.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 weeks ago:
Victoria 3, still the undisputed king of world economic simulation. I had a blast with Vic 2, but I just can’t bring myself to support Paradox Interactive in their current form with ridiculous monetisation of DLC…
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
For some reason, I just felt the humour was trying too hard, plus the price tag made the overall package unappealing to me.

I have no problem with Daggerfall Unity, why should Morrowind be a problem?

I only know a couple of games that do this:
Stalker: Anomaly X4: Foundations Dwarf Fortress
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 2 weeks ago:
I kinda know what you mean, but I come from Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, not Zomboid. I lost my first character when I was happily siphoning gas from cars. At the same time, I was too relaxed and bumped headfirst into a gang of giant wasps, can’t fight or run because I was carrying a steel jerrycan, RIP. That was a month of work with this character. xD

I am actually surprised that shooters and chill game people are not in this thread. You are the first one to bring up shooters. The rest are quite within my guess.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, old stalker here, I stopped playing just before GAMMA came out. Still biding my time to return to the zone someday, still waiting for GSC to fix the second game. Meanwhile, I will miss my hunting trips at Darkscape until a blowout starts when I am in the middle of nowhere and crap my pants.
The mod sounds nice, sounds like it will give more flavour to companions, will Hip get more dialogue? xD
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 3 weeks ago:
“bound to world logic”
Have to agree, that’s why I’ve spent quite some time in Deus Ex bars. xD
On the other hand, if a game is deep in its subject matter, and I am knowledgeable of it, then I can really appreciate the bound to world logic philosophy, and I can see the effort of modelling it in the game according to that world logic.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 3 weeks ago:
The soundtrack of Caves of Qud really does it for me, so alien and immersive, the graphics weren’t much of a problem.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 3 weeks ago:
Same here, Vicky 2 was my old love, and I love the loop of looking after politics, economy and military. These days, I am playing Aurora 4x, and there is SO.MUCH.TO.DO.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 3 weeks ago:
Stalker is great, I have some good stories in EFP with some rando NPC have a journey together, but he died to a Monolith trap in a The Red Forest meat grinder, and I barely got out alive, that was one of the most terrifying battles I’ve had when there are mutants from the south, and they are advancing from the North, seemingly shooting from every direction.
