Man, I've been enjoying my time with Dave the Diver but I'm not a fan of the way someone on the dev team went "What if we occasionally had an infuriatingly difficult QTE button-mashing thing?", and the other devs went "That's a terrible idea. We should have all the different infuriating QTE button-mashing things, and you should have to do them constantly."

Anyway, gently caress the harpoons, and gently caress the customers- I hope they like low-quality fish that've been artisanally beaten to death with a baseball bat, because that's what they're getting.

Just recently beat Deadlink (at least on the default difficulty) and had a blast! Didn't even need to put that many runs into it to get that far, most likely because Doom Eternal is one of my favorite games and this might as well be Doom Eternal: Roguelite edition, so a lot of that skill transferred over, especially since I beat it as the soldier shell which may as well be the doom marine. Definitely consider grabbing it if you love Doom Eternal and other fast-paced boomer shooters! If you're like me, you might already have it on your account from a past bundle when it was in its early access state.

Only complaints I have at the moment is that:

1) It does have metaprogression which I know can be a sticking point for some people, especially since, while it is mostly for widening the room completion reward pool and getting new character classes, there are also some slight permanent statistical upgrades (more damage, more armor, more credits, etc) that can make it feel unfair to be limited on your first runs. It didn't feel that bad to me, but hey, it can be a preference thing, and its true that usually I prefer it not be there. They also did update it from early access to give you some upgrades right from the start to give a more fair experience: for example, they used to lock away max ammo behind meta, but now it's part of your starter kit.

2) The final boss had not only a terrible voice actor that sounded like they just got someone's family member to do it for free, but was constantly spouting memes like "here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors" and "nanomachines, son" and so on and so forth. I dunno, just felt incredibly awkward. I guess you could argue it's intentional to make fun of people in power as being out-of-touch? I suppose it did make me really want to kill them.

My wife and I are doing co-op and she's kind of disappointed over how the African ethnic faces for the women seem to all be on the dwarves and halflings. I consider this a patch priority.

People say this sort of thing a lot, but I think it's a mistake to equate "Will have at least some critics no matter what" with "Cannot succeed". There have been plenty of other revivals of dormant series that were successful by every metric, like Doom 2016 or Metroid Dread, and I don't think there's any reason to believe it would be impossible to make a Half Life 3 that's a financial and critical success, even if it's not the industry changer 2 was.

The real impact of the Unity changes is that it is now morally superior to buy games you never install

So, if Unity goes through with this, that means every game that sold a lot but isn't selling any more is a financial liability. Resurgence of your game in public discourse leading to a lot of reinstalls? Suddenly a huge bill comes in. Which raises the question: Can devs pull their game from Steam&Co. completely, not only for sale but also from access/reinstall?

I mean, Unity has hosed up bigly but death threats are never good. Especially from an internal employee???

And who the hell is the second guy?


Definitely grabbing that Humble Bundle though - I've got a week off from work coming up soon, I know what I'll be doing

yes every death threat to a company you don't like is really just a false flag trick by one of those wily CEOs

Regardless it is lovely that this forum and elsewhere can't help but do the "well the company didn't act perfectly but this is unreasonable" thing when this is probably one of the most universally agreed to be bad decisions ever.
