Someone here mentioned that people couldn't shut the gently caress up about snowrunner and it was super annoying, so I had to check it out and yup pretty good. Getting all your trucks staged in a map without a garage and then getting all the missions done there is excellent.



5 minutes later all of these trucks are flipped upside down in a pile trying to move a single crate 300 feet.

I'm at like 95% with michigan. guess I gotta go to alaska. hard mode is good so far. i like having to scavenge fuel and trailers and i like to just use the stuff i find around the map. some day i'll buy a truck though

also the tire/gearbox optimization is a lot more complicated than that tire traction spreadsheet. getting offroad gearboxes and the biggest fattest mud tires and puttering around in low+ is a noob trap

did they actually rebalance the mission rewards in hard mode because iirc eventually you start getting to regions where the contracts/tasks don't actually pay out enough to cover the cost of gas

i'm guessing so since i've never seen anyone complain about that and many mentions of money not being a big issue past the first couple regions

yep, snowrunner fuckin rules. driving trucks around at 5 mph through a swamp is a thrilling experience that ime never gets old. I've played for like 700 hours and i still have 2.5 map packs that i haven't finished. there's so much trucking to do

maine (y2) has a very fun mechanic where you have to do missions to unlock garage components/actions. so the garage doesn't repair trucks until you do that mission, you can't change parts until you do another, etc. ontario (y3) is also interesting because you have to build watertowers to extinguish forest fires which is neat. but the mechanics of the water towers don't really work or make sense for where the fires actually are so most of them are worthless and you just end up trucking a fuckton of water around. so that one starts out cool and then becomes kinda boring as you have to send like a dozen trucks on the same route
honk!

thankfully that does not happen in this one, instead there's now an app that people use to call spider-man for help that somehow never gets abused for dumb poo poo

No one is going to gently caress with Spiderman like that.

The best spiderman poo poo is when he's pretty much one of those dudes who dresses up like a super hero and does goofy homeless outreach and street patrols but just happens to have powers

That's because it's a game aimed at normal people instead of Gamers.

Both Steam and EGS will have their autumn sales next week. Both will start on the 21st.

Epic will be offering 33% off vouchers plus 10% cashback instead of the usual 5%, by the way.

Anyone know how their cashback works? Does it go into your account or some poo poo?
