al-azad posted:And yeah, JC2 didn't officially support mods but they basically turned a blind eye to it and I know the multiplayer mod is supported by Steam. The only difference between DLC and in-game purchases is that Valve won't get a cut of the money. I'll condemn the poo poo out of it if the game is locked up tight but Square and Avalanche have to know that will spell the death of the only community (PC) that still plays the game 5 years later. You are being overtly dramatic, because mod adoption is fairly negligible in relation to the consumer base for non-TES/Fallout games. Now, the generated "outrage" and its effect on the public image of the game - Square has a PR crew to calculate it and consider its worth. Personally, I am past the point of getting mad at AAA gaming and I am happy that JC3 is even being made (although I am way more hyped for the Mad Max game from Avalanche).

al-azad posted:I meant Steam Workshop. Team Fortress 2 is one of the poster children of a microtransaction funded game and not only can you mod the poo poo out of it but Valve created a platform for people to distribute their mods and anyone else who wants to join the program. Not officially supporting mods is also different than closing the system for the sake of an in-game currency. Every game that has this is closed tight because it wouldn't make sense otherwise if you could add some coins via mods. I appreciate the positive thinking but a screenshot like that (with an in-game currency, renting) suggests it will be just like every other microtransaction-driven game out there: closed tight specifically against modding. There's no reason to suspect some innovative system will be developed that will support both that could gently caress them over because they somehow wouldn't care about profits in their specifically designed microtransaction scheme.

Palpek posted:It's again a different thing, Team Fortress 2 mods are curated and continue being supported because it's a multiplayer game that people will just keep playing. Just Cause 3 is a singleplayer game and nobody will keep curating its workshop even a couple of months after release because there's no payoff. Welp, I will agree to disagree but there is no doubt in my mind that Just Cause 3 won't be literally the same as Just Cause 2 i.e. a dozen cosmetic items and vehicles out the gate with more to come. The only difference is that Square-Enix has created a platform to give money directly to them instead of filtering it through Steam. And I don't know how you can add digital currency using mods when all of that stuff is handled over their servers. If the game is confirmed online only, which is the only way they can monitor their digital money, then I will eat my hat. fatherboxx posted:You are being overtly dramatic, because mod adoption is fairly negligible in relation to the consumer base for non-TES/Fallout games. Avalanche officially supports JC2 Multiplayer so I think they understand the value of their community that continues to support a 4+ year old game.

Fuligin posted:I'm in the mood for a city builder, what are people's thoughts on Banished and Anno 2070? Banished is pretty and most tranquil, although there are a few game concepts to get your head around, such as making sure kids happen by having enough houses for young families etc. The main drawback of the base game's replayability was basically that the production chains were a bit short so it was a little shallow, but now it's been opened up to modding with the Steam workshop there's a bunch of things to try out, like the creamery.

Fuligin posted:I'm in the mood for a city builder, what are people's thoughts on Banished and Anno 2070? Banished is a pretty simple (in theory) village simulator with no tech tree so you can build anything you want if you have the materials. The challenge is mostly about building a population up without triggering a death spiral. A couple of games you'll have figured it out and it'll just be a nice chill building game. Anno is all about supply lines and getting resource A to point B before your city starts to run out and collapse. The combat is total poo poo and should be avoided as much as possible IMO. More about exploration and figuring out most efficient routes for your goods/services. You really can't go wrong with either. I got more playtime out of Anno I think but I recommend both.

Anno is more for people who like to see their cities grow without some crazy threats. I don't like those games myself but my girlfriend loved Anno to death specifically because she could just chill and make even more beuildings while the resources grew, then expand underwater etc.

2070 is gorgeous but felt a bit sterile, not as warm. In 1404 you can watch the little people. Watching little tiny people do tiny people things is one of my favourite parts of city-building games, second only to the satisfying 'thunk' noise when you put a building down.

Palpek posted:One direct consequence of Just Cause 3 having microtransactions is that it will have to be mod-proof because otherwise people would be able to add those cars using mods. So say goodbye to making the game actually fun with an endless grappling hook etc. like with Just Cause 2. Have they confirmed that the diamonds are going to be microtransactions yet? They could've made an alternate currency, since when you are destabilizing regimes and whatnot you usually have to purchase things off the black market. Hell, I don't know, I'm trying to be optimistic here. If there are microtransactions, I will probably just buy it when it gets below $5. It's that easy for me.

I only played 2070, so I don't know if this is a staple of the series, but 2070 factions felt like too much cartoon characters what with the POLLUTING EVIL CORPORATION INC. vs Treehuggers-With-Unpolluting-Magic-Tech vs Reddit atheists. Are the other games with a little more nuanced factions?

I unironically expect extending the lenght of the cord to be a microtransaction. They'll probably have different names like 'titanium cord', 'diamond cord' so they will sound like upgrades. The studio will basically take the best ideas from JC2 mods and put them behind a paywall.

I'm going to hold off judgement until there's some confirmation that those JC screens are real. That eurogamer article says "A source close to the project who asked not to be named verified the first image". "A source close to the project" is the vaguest example of proof you could ever use, and usually it's just journalist speak for "This one guy who says his brother works for avalanche says it's real so it's totally real". If it is true however, that would really suck.

Fuligin posted:I'm in the mood for a city builder, what are people's thoughts on Banished and Anno 2070? Banished has a survival spin on it so your town will get repeatedly wiped out by cold, starvation, disease or aging population not having enough babies until you know what you're doing, after that it gets fairly easy. It doesn't really have much in the way of production chains or building variety so it's not much of a replay value once you got it figured out. Anno 2070 has two distinct factions with their own play style and goods produced(maybe scientists count as extra half-faction) and multilevel production chains that need to be spread across different islands and underwater settlements. Service buildings have circular area of effect in addition to road connection and people get really Asperger-type serious about the optimum city design(see Anno 2070 wiki). Combat is terrible though and AI cheats blatantly on its building(the buildings are just plopped down for free and don't resemble anything like a functional city) so taking out an AI player is a huge chore, just play peaceful mode. Be warned it has uPlay and needs to be online in Anno servers to carry items between games. Also Anno 2070 has a pretty amazing soundtrack, check it out even if you're not going to play it.

It doesn't really have much in the way of production chains or building variety so it's not much of a replay value once you got it figured out. I can vouch for pretty much all of these points. Anno is an incredibly chill game to play if you want to listen to beautiful music and look at pretty scenery while you tell boats what to do and make numbers go up. I know that doesn't sound like a great endorsement, but I lose like an entire afternoon every time I decide to run that game. Banished is a much more involved experience, in my opinion, because the stakes are pretty high at any given time. The seasons are not especially long, and it's possible to get really hosed if you either expanded too quickly or otherwise didn't somehow gather enough resources to get you through the winter. Sometimes you do everything right, and then a tornado sweeps through your stockpile. Every one of your villagers has a name, though, and lives in a specific house with their family- if you're into paying attention to that sort of thing, it functions as a pretty excellent story generator.
