Then again the alpha is in the most godawful system, with 3 very distant stars and like a 10 minute journey between them. So basically you have to sit still whilst you get taken there. However most people I know who play avoid those systems like the plague

Frankly I loved cyberpunk. I also seem to be a oddity in I never ran into some of the major bugs nearly all my friends did. Bugs aside, I just played it for visuals. So quest coherence and such wasnt much a issue.
sage sedge
such a good story game
too bad theres no other game like it
no games that are like "Go wherever you want, idk what you need to do you'll need to find it out yourself"
glass plinth
Subnautica sorta does that.
A lot of older adventure games did that as well.
Some CRPGs
One old CRPG I remember you have maybe 5 years in game time to resolve or not resolve a situation, maybe 30 endings possible.
In between the start and finish you could go anywhere, be anything.
That or crawl up the worlds tallest mountain, only to be frozen in a storm, loose your foot, get saved by a wyvern, who ends up feeding your buddies to the babies it has and lets you go...
Like.. ok then...

they also confirmed the expansion and dlc are on track for a much more delayed cycle. However the full amount of content planned will remain the same.
Sounds to me like CDRP also decided no major hype cycles for the DLC and such until close to release, much like NMS, which is funny they referenced NMS>

Ill be happy if CDRP can get the funds sorted out to fund the dlc, teams and maintain progress. Its really quite difficult. Everyone says it, but Ill repeat it. I wish they didnt have to develop the game for last gen consoles.
They cant just drop last gen consoles though. It would end the company probably. Liabilities alone would kill them.

why do they have separate playstation stores

ps5 ps+
What?
shadow tartan
The PS+ is just one sub, you get two free PS4 and one 5 monthly usually. No idea why they aren't releasing it as a backward compatible PS4 version.
Maybe because they're poor after making it
PS5 owners get the PS plus collection for free too so I guess I have to buy one now
cinder vessel
The PS+ is just one sub, you get two free PS4 and one 5 monthly usually. No idea...
PS5 is only getting one game monthly via PS+ atm? lol
shadow tartan
They said it was supposed to be one but I think they get two also
March had Maquette and Destruction All Stars for PS5
Days Gone for free though, not bad
shadow tartan
why do they have separate playstation stores
The store thing is usually because of taxes and certification though, in South Korea and Japan they have to be localised and submitted to their specific boards before they get a rating. For US and Europe you can just fill out a form and it generates ratings for you.

Primarily only popular titles, no PS1 games support, and also it's streaming

They spent a lot of money on Gakai though π€£
cinder vessel
I know there are exceptions to the streaming, but they're just that, exceptions
shadow tartan
Gotta get their money's worth
cinder vessel
you'd think they'd try a little better then
shadow tartan
PS1 games would be amazing
cinder vessel
They should really look into revising PS Now to a GamePass-esque model and have streaming as an aside
shadow tartan
I wanted to play Fear Effect again
cinder vessel
If they really want to make their money off it
shadow tartan
I think they might be doing something like that
cinder vessel
But also hey, let them keep losing money off it, maybe eventually they'll go the way of Sega and you'll get their stuff on more or less everything then π
shadow tartan
Don't remind me lol
cinder vessel
Ngl as bummed as I am that the Dreamcast failed, the end result turning around and being that Sega ports their games to damn near anything is kinda great silver lining?
shadow tartan
They have a great digital catalogue but there have been some fuck ups along the way.
Colonial Marines and Alpha Protocol are both sore points for me
Both had potential and were fucked because of bad management or Randy Pitchford
However they did acquire the Theme Hospital guys and some other nice projects more recently
Managed to get Relic after THQ messed up too which was good
cinder vessel
For sure, hell even before that the superior Game Gear was screwed by bonkers design that chewed through batteries

Sega in a nutshell tbh

I started there at the end of the lifecycle of Dreamcast
cinder vessel
Monstrous creations but cool underlying ideas
shadow tartan
I loved Dreamcast
Capcom Vs SNK 2
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
The Spawn game was sick also
cinder vessel
I wasn't paying as much attention to games consoles at the time, more the games themselves, so I didn't fully realize until later how ahead the Dreamcast was
cinder vessel
Speaking of games stuff being ahead though, Mega Man Legends > Ocarina of Time
cinder vessel
I mean don't get me wrong, I like both, give or take some entries, but Legends was just way ahead of Ocarina
shadow tartan
N64 games always had stuff cut drastically out of them too when you read stories about them
cinder vessel
The reason I compare the two is the wild timing of their releases, they were pretty darn close, like a year apart if memory serves
And Legends came out before Ocarina
shadow tartan
Yeah, it was weird for some seeing him in 3D I guess
cinder vessel
So you had these similar-ish designs going on, but one was arguably better. Legends was fully 3D, voice acted, and had a variety of dungeons all of which were actually interconnected!
shadow tartan
I didn't even know they made more than one Legends game
cinder vessel
2 is definitely like an expanded version of 1, as one might hope for, but in doing so it does lose that cool idea from the first of interconnected dungeons
However it makes up for that with each dungeon feeling a fair bit more distinct

but in terms of the game loop yeah that's a good comparison.
sleek cloud
Ah right, might check it out one day
bronze wind
yeah worth it to at least give the demo a shot if it interests you
tho I think the demo maybe isn't a good representation of the game since apparently end-game is when it gets good

not sure how large they are though

Without the weapon swapping stuff
willow crypt
But why
https://twitter.com/BenjiSales/status/1377674676378427399?s=19
maybe it's because a lot of people crave a competing looter shooter that has plenty of content right from the start π€·ββοΈ

long mural
Again, Iβll just stick with Remnant

yeah kinda lame

Anyway I enjoyed my (,very brief) time with the demo so I'd pick the game up outright if I was a fan of the genre
But imo games like that are better if plenty of your friends get into them, otherwise they can be a bit of a bore

Why is it that movie directors suck balls when it comes to making super hero movies?
The last suicide squad was idiotic. It's root in the comics was like a loose turd...which makes this remake of the suicide squad actually a lot more promising.
The new director is an actual comic book fanboi

"If we fail the mission, you die."

stupid stuff just like console wars and the pc master race thing
spending half of your life savings to play like 3 games doesn't give you an excuse to call yourself more of a gamer than someone on xbox or ps4 or switch
obviously it's not actually that much but pc gaming is expensive

That's unrelated to the whole thing of shitting on others for being completionists in open world games though.
wanton bough
yeah

No Man's Sky fits the same topic. You could say that being a completionist by scanning everything on each planet you come by and hoping to explore the entirety of Euclid's all just a waste of life. Still, why would someone do it?
Because its fun, what they like to do, and no one asked you anyways.

personally i kinda like grind but not in all games. there are a few things where it just doesn't belong. rpgs like runescape and octopath traveler are pretty good grind, even if it can get boring at times but if you force people to have to grind for hundreds of hours to like actually deal damage in a pvp mode or something, that would be a shitty game tactic.
and obviously some people just don't like grind overall and that's fine
