They almost got me with preorder last night, but I was like nah I’ll just wait and see in the morning. I love how i’ve been reading for weeks that “it’s good they made fast travel hard”, like preparing us for a fast travel MTX. Or it’s the greatest character creator of all time, but to edit after you have to spend more money - the game is basically $100 canadian. Absurd.

VIntage Story one of the coziest games around.

Footage from Russian command center.

Now let’s play polar bear, “oh i’m so sad i have to swim farther because of global warming”. Checkmate bears!

Or the darn tiny speedy monkeys

He is also able to fart bees!

Definitely interested. Hello Games may have stumbled on the NMS launch, but they’ve more than proven themselves since then!

Stremio-well

Yawn - would be interesting to see alternate reality Yahtzee review it when it comes out. I can already hear him complaining about “yet another indie life simulator” or some such.

Oh yeah, let’s help them out!

Vintage Story, on a good server, lots of fun! Haven’t really been playing anything else lately.

So Russian need a special militiary operation to de-nazify themselves now?

Just cancelled my XBox Ultimate Game Pass…bunch of nonsense.

Literally just a rant on Zero Punctuation about “AC” games - Assassin’s Creed, Animal Crossing, Armored Core, I forget the list. (Also Asheron’s Call I guess)

Got in 160 hours or so, enjoyed it and have no regrets buying it. I’ll probably play a little bit again in the future, but not so much. So it was a fine game, but not their best outing for sure.

Give Vintage Story a shot! Like you’ll go in with a MC mindset and slowly realize you’re in a whole new world. It’s dark and the wolves after after you and the 3 stacks of berries you collected have all rotted. Is that a bear? What does it mean “temporal storm approaching”?

(few weeks later you’ve mastered voxel by voxel claymaking, knapping, and maybe done gotten some smithing done if you’ve managed an avil. Winter is approaching, is your cellar stocked? Do you have warm clothes?)

(Been playing for years and still learning things, and the devs seem to outpace mojang in terms of adding features, you get modding built in, and the chiseling…by god the chiseling…)

My body’s just a flesh vessel for an immortal being whose name if you heard it would make you lose your mind.

I’m content with my ~120 hours played so far even if I don’t play again. But I probably will, especially with mods or future content. It doesn’t quite have the build flexibility of an elder scrolls game though. Hopefully they’ll add more variants to the bases etc. Generally happy if a game has 40 hours of gameplay and there’s easily 40 hours of content in Starfield.

The NG+ stuff is interesting but after playing it a bunch it’s both a plus and a minus, like it’s neat to have the options there, but also might’ve been better to start actual new characters.

Think I will wait for the new Grim Dawn DLC and Titan Quest 2 instead thanks

Empire was so well played, going from amicable to terrifying. Lee Pace makes that show!
