Technology is exactly like 40k in that respect. “We do it in this order because otherwise it doesn’t work and no one knows why. The people who made it are gone”

It's ok to be optimistic about the monetization but I think it's also okay and "justified" to be pessimistic. Capitalist hellscape and all. I don't know why this specifically would be the game where a corporation says "let's not bleed them as effectively as we can"

Internet Explorer posted:I guess I'm just saying that there are some devs who have shown they can thread that needle I agree but every new product is a new opportunity for revenue pressure to win out and start hurting the consumer. Cautious optimism is all I can muster when we've seen so many good devs succumb to the realities of the market. That optimism is even harder to maintain when they are slippery about confirming things.

I mean the good news is people liked the gameplay in the CBT so it looks like the initial base game purchase will satisfy fans of VT. I know I'm gonna put in dozens, potentially hundreds of hours. I'll be happy with a fun base game if I decide to skip the microtransactions. Hopefully they don't introduce pain points as a way to drive spending. No way to tell. But we're gonna have fun with this game for sure!

Should have just let you optionally choose to not have a slot 3/4 usable for a points boost

I really like vt2 characterization, especially how the group is mostly verbally supportive of each other. gently caress kerillian tho. Toxic and kills the vibe. Give me auntie sienna congratulating everyone for genocide while bardin is murdervibing the whole time

Edmond Dantes posted:So with this Darktide around the corner and this Vermintide 2 pseudo renaissance, do y'all reckon we should try to consolidate threads/discords to have a more centralized "*Tide" goon community? If you make it, I will promote it every chance I get ITT and the steam thread when the games are brought up. My irl friends have all peeled off in different directions and I am alone in the video game world so I'm ready to make friends.

Chakan posted:I don't mind updating the OP with discord info or whatever, if there's other ones that should be in there. I figured there would be a thread for darktide for the first couple months/year then depending on activity we might merge them into one *tide thread, not that I'm an authority on what should happen. I just can't imagine the venn diagram of players for each game being much more than perfectly overlapping, aside from new players being brought in by Darktide. *tide games feel more like a lineage at this point, like Pokemon, where a megathread for all of them makes sense. Though it could potentially just be as simple as a title change for this thread and small reworking of the OP. Again just spitballing, I am bad at this kind of thing. I just want things setup in whatever way makes it easiest for us to find each other and play.
