I registered on a mailing list for "Satisfactory" a while back, and it went into open "beta" this weekend, to conclude the Alpha phase. I figured I'd give it a quick spin to see if I want to keep it on my wishlist for sometime down the road, and a quick spin turned into currently six hours.

The game is basically 3D Factorio with a Subnautica feel and No Man's Sky environments. Bizarrely-enough, it's better at environments and biomes than No Man's Sky, and doesn't look unfinished at all. I've only encountered a few unfinished things like placeholder text for further unlockable tiers, and not a single bug so far.
I'm buying the poo poo out of this game. I don't care if it's on the Epic Games platform, it's fun as hell, and scratches basically three itches at the same time.

Here's a video, though it only really highlights the balls-to-the-wall industrial stuff, and not so much the whole environment / exploration aspects.

So if you drop the $30 today does it get you early access right now? The site is vague and lacks any dates.

Okay so apparently the goal is to build some kind of gently caress off huge machine? And you shoot stuff and and teach alien women to love (presumably).

The youtubes look pretty dope and I'm actually quite tempted by this one. Also forcing me to get the epic games launcher thingemy would also justify me getting the latest metro game.

Early access launches March 19th, not sure if you get any goodies by pre-purchasing now, but I'm definitely grabbing it so I don't really mind pulling the trigger on the early purchase deal.

Can't wait to build giant gently caress-off pollute-o-complexes, and then chain-launchpad through the smog clouds.

So Halo MCC is probably coming to PC later today.

They fixed it a bunch since it's disastrous launch on Xbox and honestly, I'm excited because I like Halo and I like playing shootmans on my PC. Haters vacate.

yo so Path of Exile is finally-finally coming to PS4 I guess. What’s the fuss? F2P Diablo 3? I think I played it on PC years ago but don’t remember a thing. Do like Diablo

Vasudus
May 30, 2003
I'm going to greatly summarize it and try and not put as much of my I have nearly ten thousand combined hours playing this over seven years bias into it.

Path of Exile is a F2P game that started out as a sort of Diablo 2.5 but evolved into its own many years ago. It shares the same principles of any ARPG - kill monsters to get loot, to kill bigger monsters to get better loot. It is however considerably, considerably more complicated than something like Diablo 3, both in the good and bad ways. There are tons of layers of mechanics that will take a long time to fully understand, but following guides and asking questions these days is mostly enough to get new players by. It does indeed have a harsh learning curve for a game in 2019.

The main gimmick are leagues, which are basically seasons in other sorts of games. Each new league is either a mini or full on expansion, and they come out every three months. Each league has a new gimmick that eventually gets baked into the main game a few months afterwards - hence why there's so much to do and why it's becoming somewhat overwhelming to new players. The newest league, Synthesis, just started on March 8th and runs until early June.

The F2P aspect is almost entirely cosmetic. You get a stash with 6 tabs that you can't rename, and the game has a lot of goddamn loot to throw at you so you're gonna want more. But there's no boosts or anything that's actually P2W or anything remotely of the sort. You can get all the tabs you would want on sale and spend like 20 bucks and never have to spend a dime more if you don't want to.
