Everybody knows NCG is bad at videogames, he even mentions as much for disclosure in his documentaries.

The actual campaign is good stuff and that you should definitely stop when you beat it because that's when the real treadmill kicks off.

Everything I hear about Dragon's Dogma 2 is people going "This game is annoying and frustrating and bad and it's FUNDAMENTAL to the design of the game to be bad so that's why it's good actually" and I gotta say it's not really selling me on the game.

Folks, I’m not really enjoying diablo 4. The dungeons are like 50% too long, the loot is too simple, and i can’t seem to change my char’s hairstyle. Last time I listen to a youtuber’s opinion over a goon’s

Thanks for testing the waters so I don't get tempted too

I am fully absorbed by Outpost Infinity Siege now that it has a few patches under its belt, it hits the roguelite run-based itch while also satisfying the same sort of creative and optimization impulses that I normally reserve for customizing mechs in Battletech.

I do not expect it to even reach the top 50 of the 2024 goty thread, being essentially a wildly ambitious eurojank game except chinese.

I loaded up the Steam page, looked at the screenshots, watched the videos, and I still have no idea what this game is.

That's normal

It's a weird run-based (as in the way roguelites are run-based) tower defense + stalker hybrid where you design your mobile tower defense base, go around a map, collecting resources and perks, then when you reach the end of the run you do a wave defense battle using that base.

You can get pretty creative with your outpost too. I designed mine around the concept of a mech-carrier warship in the style of the ships from Gundam, to take advantage of the fact that you can remote launch mechs out of the hangar and they will boost out at max speed.






The mechs themselves are somewhere between Titanfall titans and Armored Cores in mobility.

That said, while there's an abundance of ambition this game has none polish.

This looks sick as hell...the mixed reviews on steam though are giving me some pause but I might pick it up anyways.

It's mixed because it launched in a terrible state with like a thousand negative reviews. It's almost balanced out with a lot of positive reviews following nearly daily patches, but the game really earned its initial response.

I was about to write it off until I realized like three patches went out in the span of time between release and when I took a second look.

Gonna wait for wow classic classic to come out

That's how progression servers work. I'm pretty sure Everquest has several servers each set to a different expansion on rotation. WoW Classic moving into that direction is a pretty easy call to make.

Ok i think i understand. So we should assume that there's always going to be enough players per expac server to make it not look like a dead mall.

Or rather even a dead mall can attract enough customers to stay open if the only rent you need to worry about are your servers.

The discord server setting it up is here for anyone who wasn't able to grab the link before Evo died for good: https://discord.gg/BdN6A3kJ

They were able to grab and reverse engineer a few things (you'll be surprised to learn that the devs ultra-halfassed it with the budget they didn't have and much of it was default Unreal Engine settings and strings, making it easier lol), and to avoid the hand of god crushing them aren't taking donations and setting up and dispersing servers on their own dimes for it. So far BN doesn't seem to give a poo poo.

It's still a shame honestly. The game had significant issues but they had a shot when Overwatch 2 poo poo the bed at the same time and elected to poo poo it even harder

Thanks lmao

That's insanely dumb. Why torpedo your own story just because some people on reddit figured it out when that probably won't affect how much 99% of viewers enjoy it?

They genuinely thought their job as writers was to outsmart their audience

This basic misunderstanding of their jobs, as writers, proved that they were not smart enough, period.

It was a real problem in the industry for a while. Just, plot twists for the sake of them, without serving a real narrative purpose.

Thoughts on Umurangi Generation? I remember it getting a fair amount of buzz, but also some lukewarm impressions.

It's pretty short and I beat it in a night but it also left me in a deep "I've just watched an incredibly depressing independent film" kind of malaise for hours after. It's a game that is supported pretty much entirely by its environmental storytelling and it's a pretty compelling one, imo.
