Thank you for saving me the time and effort it takes to download and try the demo, now I've got enough free time to lift weights and bodybuild for the summer.

Diablo-like games having super low drop rates for unique items basically just makes all uniques of non-endgame gear completely useless because you'll never find them naturally and nobody grinds low level areas, and makes endgame uniques super expensive because that's all anyone in the game uses. How the gently caress do the people making these games end up making a bunch of items that nobody ever even sees, let alone uses?

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Path of Exile would have a pretty good system if it didn't take for-loving-ever to get drops. Uniques don't have a maximum drop level and in most cases are sidegrades to rares.

This is a big part of why I'm playing less games these days. Abysmal drop rates, long grinds, and the like. Who has the time to be treated like this in their leisure time? I just want a video game that is cool with me only playing it sometimes, and I still get to have fun with it.

Sounds like you should stick with emulators grandpa.

There are like a billion good games these days, you don't have to play anything grindey if you don't want to. Just play something you can pick up for 10 minutes at a time and get a solid good time from, like Saints Row or Super Mario 3D Land. Or like any pinball game ever

I feel the same way about grinds but despite that I love Monster Hunter to death

This is probably because at least the gameplay remains good fun while you're trying to get that fifth Rathalos Dick for your next spear

This is a pretty ownage week for video games. Cities: Skylines, Hotline Miami 2, and Ori and the Blind Forest are all out now for PC. Codename: Steam comes out for 3DS on Friday. :hellyeah:

I saw the GB quick look of Ori, picked it up immediately after, and played an hour of it.This game is unexpectedly amazing.

Also it seems this week alone has singlehandedly invalidated the thread title, even if I still need to confirm that Starships and the accompanying Beyond Earth update are as amazing as I think they will be.

VV: Oh poo poo, it does? I totally forgot to check the release date on that.

Xenoverse is good because even while you're grinding, you're usually accomplishing something else like raising mentor levels or new character levels or getting dragonballs. The gameplay is also fun even running the same mission over and over, unlike most other grindy games.

Grind is why i fell out of love with Warframe a week after falling in love with it.

Ori and teh Blind Forest is loving gorgeous and controls really well but it's got its head pretty far up its rear end.

Still, way better game than Hotlne Miami 2.
