gently caress EA and gently caress Fifa on pc. They banned me in fifa20 (pc) from the transfermarket due to coin distribution suspections. Never did such thing but just effectively played the transfermarket (mostly in position modifiers lol). Appealed several times and actually mailed a copy of my autism diagnoses as part of my explaination that my systematical looking but manually trading frequencies might be a bit maniacal but they kept responding with no, you did bad things. Same trading behaviour never was a problem on xbox year later

Hello. Here is the entirety of the $3.00 The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ - Emotes Pack, the pack that includes 6 iconic emotes inspired by the character Gollum, which you can use to proclaim "my Precious" and express a range of emotions in the game whenever you want:

1. Gollum clasps his hands, whispers "my precioussss".
   
2. Beetle flies around Gollum, he is surprised.
   
3. Beetle lands in front of Gollum, he looks at it with concern and interest before it flies away.
   
4. Beetle lands in front of Gollum, he looks at it with interest before it flies away.
   
5. Beetle flies around Gollum, he looks at it angrily.
   
6. Beetle flies around Gollum, he swipes at it and fails to kill it.

They just recently said it crossed like 5M sales, which is baffling.

Outer Worlds was Obsidian's first attempt at doing a Bethesda style RPG. I have faith that they've heard the feedback loud and clear plus are able to use the experience to make a better sequel. People say the DLC were better than the main game.

Isn't that a Bioshock-like rather than a Bethsoft-like?

Highlighting a rather interesting demo I encountered: Erenshor: The Single Player MMORPG





As it says in the title, this game recreates an old-school MMORPG experience but is technically completely single-player and filled with bots to simulate other players: think games like .Hack, I suppose, but to a further degree. This isn't simulating newer MMORPGs like WoW though, this is very specifically old-school Everquest, where you're [H]ailing NPCs and typing in keywords to ask them about stuff, turning on auto-attack to beat up a skeleton and take his bone chips, checking enemies for their color-coded condition on whether they're safe to fight, listening to weird global chats and people auctioning their items, exploring dungeons and being careful not to aggro too much or get caught off-guard by respawns, and so on. I was really expecting it to just be nostalgia-bait, but I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was to explore, finding hidden dungeons and quests with no obvious guidance.

I found it rather fascinating with the level of immersive simulation it does. For example, if you want to group up, you can literally type "LFG" in shout chat just like you would back then, and you'll get some responses from people in the area eventually that will make their way over to you: you'd expect that they would make it too convenient by having people teleport to you instantly, or to have some sort of modernized menu to facilitate grouping, but no, they are trying to recreate it authentically, for better or for worse. I tried typing "DING" into shout chat when I leveled up and sure enough, messages of "grats" filled the chat! I also found it amusing that it has a fake login screen, but some people were confused and afraid that it was using their credentials without their permission: it's almost too real!

Basically, if you liked Everquest and would like to play it again but find it too difficult to actually play with people on the old-school Project 99 servers, or you like other MMORPG-esque/exploration games like Morrowind or Gedonia or .Hack, consider checking out the demo and keep a look out for its eventual release.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but the story is just constructed in a specific way that makes me uncomfortable. I think it's been the case with several of the Marvel movies too - they try to give the villain nuance by giving them understandable backgrounds and ideologies and eventually realize "oops, this guy is in the right" so they have them do something completely insane and nonsensical to make the hero justified in beating them up. Osborn is easily the most repulsive character in the story and he gets away scot-free.

Realistic, sure, realism is extremely important in a comic book game.

Black Panther was what I mostly based that on. Haven't seen Captain Marvel and given your description, thank gently caress for that.

ds2 is the best one. the official power rankings are in fact as follows:

dark souls 2 / elden ring (aka dark souls 2, part II)
demon's souls (aka dark souls 2, part 0)
dark souls 3
dark souls 1

I've heard chatter about it, but this is the first time I've laid eyes on it. It's reallllly aping that WoW graphical style (not a fan), then follows the War3 PvE pattern of creeping (unforgivable), and I'm not really a fan of the super-short ranged attacks and blobby-ness of it all.

As a huge RTS buff, this is such a hard pass, shame.

This is doubly insane cause from playing the betas the game is manifestly looking Not Great. Like, you can certainly have fun with it and at some point I'll prolly play it if I can get it on a sale because I'm starved for tallship games, but in terms of quality it's very much a $40 game at best. It doesn't even have particularly good graphics or production values. Of all the games to try and start the "quadruple A" thing with, this one is super extremely not it.

Yeah I played the closed beta and agree with this. The game isn’t garbage. But definitely not a $60 or $70 game.

It also probably doesn't help that 85% of the steam userbase can't even play Immortals of Aveum because of the ridiculous hardware requirements.

“Indie” means “small budget/small team” to some and “the developer doesn’t have a separate publisher/investor/whatever” to some others. I think the latter is arguably more useful but they’re both kinda messy these days imo.
