yes that's true and like they don't even send you a key for preorders, they're just like "we'll totally have a key when the game comes out check back then" but on the other hand I'm not paying $80 because of price differences that bear no relation to foreign exchange and are just "lol gently caress you canada"

then wait, why the gently caress would you buy it now

more games should have single player things that are affected by other players. like in Talos Principle where u can tag walls and poo poo so ur friends can see. So you spend a bunch of time trying to get to weird places on the map to put a tag they can see but cant get to

they tweak the combat system and add maybe one or two new features but for the most part it’s the same boring system with nothing new. 3 AC games later and the movesets are still copy/pasted over. its still ace for the immersive historical worlds, but the core gameplay needs some work.

oh poo poo guys you can build trader stands and like run your own little economy in fallout 4 and plant crops and hnnnnggh

if there's an economy system in a game I just go out of my way to buy and maximize everything as soon as I am able, it satisfies something in my reptilian brain. this is skyrim + an economy system + hugely variable building and crafting in an fps/rpg hybrid and oh god I think I'm going to have to quit my job

words can't express my hype level and i've only seen like two youtube videos, trying to learn as little as possible before I play it. But seriously that looks like the game I've been wanting to play for years, and even if it's all hosed up the modders can fix it

Bethesda kinda counts on modders fixing their games, which is why I'm baffled as to why they thought to strangle their golden goose with paid mods.

Just do good DLC like Obsidian did for NV and have people buy that. Don't set up a system where people can charge for mods that fix your egregious failures in design

paid mods are kind of dumb but I guess kind of make sense given some of the professional level poo poo that's come out of that community. imo having a way to donate to mod makers thru steam would be a nice middle ground.

yeah, I would do this. some stuff is really awesome like the War Zones mod for skyrim, it's totally worth like $3 or whatever but I'm real skeptical of an official paid mod system

also non-paid mod sites will still exists and I doubt theres gonna be mod drm so mod piracy will probably be a thing. the donation model makes more sense

A good/quick donate button built into Steam would help a lot of modders. People probably wouldn't care about kicking a few bucks towards say the SkyUI dude if it was quick, easy, but optional.

there's a standalone version of Space Pope's sperg milsim ( same devs, same engine) that is only 20$ instead of 80$ with the caveat that it only has a 15 mission campaign and a skirmish option.

if you already have a ps3 you can play all the main storyline Metal Gear games for like 70€ in two weeks on Easy (lol if you don't play on easy anyway). i wouldn't recommend it but you could.

so the new version of CMANO (1.09) adds in some cool stuff. a few new lua functions, but the big additions are performance improvements, and EMP associated with nuclear blasts

the strength and range of the pulse is highly dependent on the altitude of the detonation, with ones in the upper atmosphere going upwards of 1500nm. they can knock out sensors, with the tech level of the sensor being another big factor. old vacuum tube ones are the most resistant

okay, but even with that in mind the scaremonger argument is some variation of "people will put up paid mods and sue free mods for copyright infringement" and that seems unlikely at best
