This guy gets mad that he needs to buy a new FIFA to update his Ronaldos.

charging full price for each new iteration of the game which is somehow worse than the last one?

you're right. total war is fifa. the only thing they're missing is selling loot boxes with random lords.

doom 1 was absolute bullshit. they put the true ending of the game behind the dlc and you couldn't even order it online you had to physically phone someone and receive it in the loving mail.

I got it from my Maths teacher. He saw us play it on a school computer after we asked him if we could install it to show a friend who didn't have a PC, and he was like "lol, you only have the shareware? I have the full version...". :yarr:

Pretty shocked to try jagged alliance 3 and find out I hate the combat side of it. I played so much JA2 and 1.13 in the day, but to be fair, I reckon I'd hate them if I played them today too. It felt like nothing mattered. I don't mind chance to hit being hidden but hell I'd like someone to die after I go to the trouble of flanking and putting a close up burst into them. The bit that made me uninstall was seeing two dudes standing together, thinking great, I'll grenade them. Ok they both survived. Grenade again. Ok they both survived. Grenade again. Ok they both survived that to full auto hose down my squad, alt, f4, uninstall.

My game that bitterly disappointed me was Naval Action.

Such a brilliant battle arena game, then they decided to make it an mmo.

I see that Lightyear Frontier is on sale with a slight discount as part of the Farming Fest. Does anyone have early access impressions? The concept seemed fun.

Edit: Specifically, is there a decent amount of content there?

what's the new one like?

Just spoiling all this for sake of ease: Same basic structure of walking around in cyberspace, but now you need to shoot ice off of circuit nodes dotted around the arenas, then bait Shodan into shooting death rays into specific spots to power the circuits. This unlocks the yellow thingies you shoot at her. You still fend off waves of enemies, but it's just the basic magenta and green ones now. You're given a machine gun version of the basic shuriken weapon to start off with now and then can swap it out via pickups for a shotgun or a charging explosive weapon. You only get the railgun pew pew gun at the very end so you can do a target practice QTE to seal the deal. The later arenas are expanded a bit to support the new gimmicks, but the overall flow of riding platforms between each one is the same.

thanks very much, I will try it out. It wasn't just System Shock, there's a few other games that I have that I wanted to see if I could roll back for kicks (though there are some games that have gotten kinda broken from newer patches)

And for people who care about achievements this is a great way to obtain ones that were bugged by patches and never fixed.

Did it leave early access or whatever the Epic store calls that? Or is this also the launch of the Steam early access.

You know, I'm not certain. I know they're adding in the Advent, and since they're (again) not planning to do a campaign, I'm not sure what's left other than polish and fixes. I haven't been following development that closely tbh.

gently caress that is an early access game too, so is development ended on that game now? That really fucks over everyone who paid for it. That early access wasnt cheap either, it was a $50 game.
