This was my Jam as a kid. Loved how unique it was ๐
frosty dew
i'm not sure if the anno series really counts as an rts
feral ferry
Anno 1800 is very fun
I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of content
It has an immense catalogue of things to do
Far more than any other Anno game
It actually is the best Anno game to date
orchid prism
It just tires me out. Income vs. upkeep is so insane that you need to meta game so hard to get anywhere after a while.
And power... jesus power needs to die ๐
feral ferry
Not in Anno 1800 I'd say
orchid prism
I would ๐
feral ferry
Income is plenty
orchid prism
A single lategame factory costs enough to completely kill the point of making it.
feral ferry
Hell most of my cities are doing at least 2k+

RTS guy here
frosty dew
i own every anno except 2205 ๐
i think 1701, is the most rts-like in it, followed by 1404.
orchid prism
1404 for sure. It's the only game with actual land units.
frosty dew
1800 removed most of the land unit stuff, but does sea battles very good i think
feral ferry
Isn't 1701 like, heavily dated?
orchid prism
Every ANNO game basically boils down to whoever can lock you down on your island wins.
frosty dew
1701 also has land units.
keen urchin
My last one is 2070
Great game, but the uplay integration and accompanying bugs killed it for me
orchid prism
1701 is before my time ๐
frosty dew
1701 has lands units that arent even tied to a camp you gotta move around! :O
orchid prism
ANNO is a decent city builder, terrible competitive RTS ๐
feral ferry
Stronghold style?
frosty dew
oh yes, 2070 also sits somewhere between 1800 and 1404 to me
feral ferry
I always wanted a city builder with Stronghold style of infantry
frosty dew
with the army stuff
keen urchin
And 1800 still comes with Denuvo, and the sallout story still leaves a bad taste
frosty dew
so far though, i think the top three are 1404, 1800, and then some below 2070. closely followed by 1701 tbh
orchid prism
2205 for me. Because it's the most unique of them all.
followed by the underwater colonies in 2070
feral ferry
Reddit would fight you for that sentence
keen urchin
1404 good
And 1602
orchid prism
Good for them ๐
frosty dew
havent played it, so i cant tell. but what i saw from it, it looked kinda like the sims city game that was kind of ... meh. with its tiny, locked down tiles.
feral ferry
Cities Skylines is my go-to city builder
orchid prism
locked down tiles? So ... almost every city builder ever? Including Simcity ๐
feral ferry
If I want to feel like a conquistador, I'd play Anno
frosty dew
it lacked much content compared to the previous sim city
keen urchin
Played a bunch if Northgard recently
It's pretty good
frosty dew
and in the previous sim city game you could have huge tiles that interconnect over time, while this one had a constant online requirement, and really really limited building space you reached within just a few hours
orchid prism
Simcity 2013 failed for many reasons. Scale being a huge one. The promised super AI not being... super at all being another ๐
keen urchin
I'd say one of the best recent RTS
orchid prism
Not yet ๐
keen urchin
Got that long ago
frosty dew
cities skylines came in at a perfect time, offering much better stuff compared to a huge letdown of a long running series
orchid prism
It's... still very much in development.
feral ferry
Yet still, very fun
keen urchin
Still waiting on development
orchid prism
It's fun for a few hours. And then it starts annoying me ๐
keen urchin
Also, ran so poorly my VII had trouble giving me 60 FPS
Hope that's better now
orchid prism
Foundations is like Settlers without the combat. Which is neat.
But the way it handles auto building is... ehhhhh
frosty dew
i never really got into Settlers somehow. idk why
orchid prism
Not to mention scaling is really weird.
keen urchin
Settler 2 and 3
Oh the times
Anyway, if anyone wanna try a recent, fairly balanced, competitive RTS with good single player and Co-op modes, try Northgard
orchid prism
Can second that.
It has a good Settlers feel to it without getting bogged down in infrastructure.
feral ferry
I didn't like Settlers tbh
Also I want a single player do as you wish RTS game like Stronghold that you either play diplomatically or militarily
It's not just build up an army and attack type of game
small comet
so the one rts

Something like EUIV + Anno + Stronghold + Anno + Warzone & Parkan's modular system

Ehh
What I'm describing shouldn't be too hard to make
Honestly I'm already doing the paperwork for it
The ultimate game
small comet
so do it
feral ferry
Too bad I suck at coding so it will never happen 
small comet
so learn how to by making the game
if no one else does it ull have to make ur dreams come true
feral ferry
I just really suck at coding and have no motivation to learn it
small comet
maybe others like the idea
and some bigger studio then does it
@feral ferry well u do now
to make the game of ur dreams
i learned how to code cause i wanted to make my waifu sim of my drems
feral ferry
Will I make a 7 figure sum out of it? ๐ค
small comet
depends
with the right idea and a good product u can make tons of money
doesnt have to be perfect
feral ferry
Sounds fun ๐
small comet
and if the circumstances are right u might get bought up like minecraft
feral ferry
But boy the sad thing is, I don't even know where to begin
feral ferry
Unity might not provide what I want
small comet
unreal
feral ferry
I'd rather Unreal Engine it
small comet
doesnt matter really
both can do pmuch the same
whats important is the one using it
feral ferry
Is it as simple as drag and drop or is there countless hours of coding?
Nah I'm fucking with you, I know it's hard as hell
I'm an IT student with no dedication for his craft
small comet
coding isnt the only it craft
while fundamental theres other fundamental parts like hardware engineering
but to get back to the point
imo it doesnt matter if unity or unreal
both do a great job for indie
best would obviously be a c implementation
fringe salmon
unity is the easier option if you are new(ish) to coding or want to do no coding at all, unreal if you have some art knowledge want to to materials/animation/shader etc. with just visual coding with their blueprints
small comet
i mean unity can do all that aswell theoretically
fringe salmon
sure but from a beginner point I see it as better to have it integrated into the engine, for visual coding you either need a plugin or use the not fully finished scriptable render pipeline
small comet
i personally would choose to build my own engine ngl
but thats just me liking the challenge
fringe salmon
yeah gl if that's your first project though if you are new to any part of it :p
small comet
thats the fun for me though
i have never really used unity or unreal
im too dumb for both tbh
fringe salmon
a wrong b you are not new to coding at all :p
small comet
but the low level shit it what gets me hard
wait have i used unity
or unreal
i mean i tried making a 2d game in unity
couldnt get the 2d plane to work
removed unity from pc
and unreal was already enough when browsing assets for a hat in time
never touched it further than the editor or ahit
fringe salmon
could just take the source code from git and make it look like you want to if you need a challenge :p
small comet
which source code
fringe salmon
lel
small comet
seriously tho im interested in 2d game engines
and making one
3d is too hard for me cause math
fringe salmon
you can use unreal for that too ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
keen urchin

ripe tendon

Are people so pressed for time that Quick Resume is a selling feature?
I dunno. There's nothing about the new xbox's that make me think yes in any way
keen urchin
Xbox got more games, though
ripe tendon
Their last round of games was pretty disappointing
I never regretted a console purchase more than the xbox one
It's not about more games it's about better games

Yup
And while xbox has access to more games, because the playstation only games are privately overseen and funded by sony, they are of high quality.
They have to. If the games arnt good, less people buys a playstation

Well, i dont know what changes world of warship has gone through, but pvp is an absolute letdown
You hardly survive more than a volley. You used to be able to take a few hits but that seems to be out of the question nowadays
Im actually enjoying pve more
When you try to get closer than maximum firing range you get absolutely obliterated. Atleast in pve the bots are programmed to not be as accurate which allows for shorter range combat
ornate cedar
ornate cedar
I found the game pretty easy especcially on the low to mid tiers
orchid prism
This basic concept is not new either - Players are just learning ๐
ornate cedar
Keep the distance and snipe them untill dead
ornate cedar
Angle is really important as it makes the midhull more protected and more shots will get ricochet
and one torpedo in the midhull is pretty fatal
Front and back side are better in tanking them
Also battleships need destroyers and antiair support
proper cargo
I know all that stuff
Im no newbie to wow
But i still get onliterated
And i notice it in pve, citadel hits are much more common than they used to be
They really were rare in older wow
Here. 14 hits to citadel. Used to be ur lucky enough to get a few of em.
Has not to do with me being a newbie. They made it easier for players

I not good at long range calculation. ๐
ornate cedar
long range torpedo calculations with eta of 15 minutes XD
but that needs more room

battleships are usually hard to take down if their ego is kept in check and under cover of anti torpedo
else they are pretty much dead encountering destroyer with a torpedo
And when they type in chat. It is glorious

In pvp i usually stay near the battleships now with my destroyer. Rushing in head long and getting killed after 2 salvos wont help anyone. So i lay down smoke screens whenever the bs get targeted

if its only the screen probably
orchid prism
Most phone are glass and LCD in a single package.
So... should be fixable.
Having quite a blast in State of Decay 2. Running around listening to 80s rock with a replica broadsword in hand, chopping down zeds.
tough jay
While the screen on a phone is fixable it's not always economically viable. Especially with oleds.
feral ferry
Any of you android enthusiasts, name me a better phone within 200 - 300$ range that beats the new Pocophone X3 NFC
I like big screens and batteries
tough jay
I wouldn't know exactly but what is best largely depends on what you want
tough jay
In my opinion phones got larger recently without any increase in useful screen estate for exampole the poco x3 is only 0.2cm wider than the old 5.5inch 16:9 standard.
Vertically sure there is extra screen but personally I never used it, nor do I think split screen multi tasking is something I generally want to do on my phone.
trim rock
Also one handed use is very very hard at least for me ๐ฆ why so big
tough jay
I don't even use it one handed but I just find for things I do on my phone having more space vertically just isn't that useful
Just like having more space horizontally on a desktop is not that useful
That being said I do have 4 monitors displaying 4 different things
I think having two ultrawides would be a lot less convenient
trim rock
Bring back 8:5 as the standard for both phones and computers plz
tough jay
yea that would be great
4:3 is also still a good one
For office use at least
I personally prefer if we all moved to the x:1 notation instead of having these hard to compare inflated numbers.
4:3 would be 1.33:1 16:10 would be 1.6:1 and 16:9 would be 1.78:1
18:9 would 2:1 of course
proper cargo
thx @feral ferry
i just bought the poco x3
spec wise, it doesnt even differ that much from the f3
only 229 euro, is not much at all
besides, i mostly need it just to listen to music during work.
i might try to fix the F1 myself though and sell it. you can buy a screen lcd + glass for only 35 euro
proper cargo
Which one. The f1?
feral ferry
Poco x3
proper cargo
I just ordered it. It wont be delivered till tomorrow
proper cargo
It does. I mean, i bought the poco f1 at the time for 330 euro or something. So buying an as good as phone for only 229 is nice.
Atleast i hope its as good as.
feral ferry
On a sidenote
Have any of you lads purchased from gearbest?
Just yesterday I was checking local markets, and Gearbest advertised a Xiaomi Mi 10 5G for 199$
It beats even the Poco X3 in most scenarios for that price point
Obviously it's a 300$+ phone
So, is it a sham scam or legit?
fading spade
Do not use gearbest
I've had the worst experience every with them -.-
Took like 5 weeks for them to ship my order
And they only did that because I threatened to cancel it and get a refund using PayPal
I looked them up
It seems they will let you buy a product they don't have in stock
So you must wait until it's on stock before they can ship it AND THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT
I highly suggest banggood though
I've used it many times and so has my friend
Its a great website but the design is crap
feral ferry
Is it based in China?
bleak pike
gearbeast is chinese yes
fading spade
So is banggood I think
Yeah
It is
But it's good
Gearbest isn't good
I find it shady that as soon as they replied to my request to go ahead with a refund and order cancellation, THE STATUS OF MY ORDER CHANGED TO SHIPPED
Well too bloody late to cancel the order
And no refund for you
Cause we shipped it
Too late loser
they clearly changed it manually to appease you
@vital wyvern nah
The order arrived 2 weeks later
(๏ฝกโขฬ๏ธฟโขฬ๏ฝก)
tough jay
In china I usually tend to stick to aliexpress, often it's pretty easy to see were a store falls on the reliability scale
Selling things you won't have in stock soon is also a big nogo.
feral ferry
Same applies to hardware preorders
tough jay
In that case it seems like somehow the order did not get shipped, and they only noticed once you wanted to cancel it, prompting them to ship it anyway.
proper cargo
i would still ask for a refund and just order another one. fuck them, mate

the bluetooth headphones i got are properly isolating and dont care for sweat after prolonged use
fading spade
You seem to get the headphones and the headphone jack confused
The jack itself doesn't have ear plugs
proper cargo
i know?
headphones come in either in a headphone jack or bluetooth....
however, headphones can be old fashioned that 'hang' in your ear, go over your ear, or are in-ear plugs.
i only use in-ear headphones, since they simultanious work as isolating ear plugs.
atleast, if you have good in-ear headphones. some earphones are expensive, but only by brand. not by design. which is terrible.

well, i do buy phones with a headphone jack :P but i do have a bluetooth headphone. but the headphone jack as backup is never a bad idea.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes arent real?
proper cargo
Mirrors are a reflection of our non existance
They only show us what we want to see, but they never show us the truth
IM NOT FAT! YOU ARE FAT, MIRROR!

yes yes microchip yes yes 5g mmmm. what if 5g is to counter the microchips for bill gates? Let me check on the gps enabled wifi and network connected always on device. Yes mirrors are made to reflect? reflect the truth more like it hahahha. \s

slim token
wdm
fringe salmon
spider man, has spider powers *
*can also shoot electricity and become invisible
wtf
slim token
yeah that is kinda weird
if it was avengers spiderman from the movies then it could prob fly
fringe salmon
the rest looks cool but those things are uh, questionable?
slim token
it dlc
fringe salmon
idk, not a game I will play but it looked cool
bleak pike
leak said it was
fringe salmon
I think he meant the harry potter game?
bleak pike
yes harry potter
fringe salmon
HP DLC for Spiderman 
fringe salmon
wow, I feel sorry for the guy who had to fail the tutorial to show this gameplay of lmao
ornate cedar
Probably needs a journalism mode, game too hard?
fringe salmon
??????????
slim token
lmao that stunt rc car on the cod reveal
ornate cedar
Free to play just enter your creditcard information (costs may change at any time)
Could be that some law requires this tbh.
fringe salmon
I'm fairly certain our laws do not prohibit free gameplay lmao
ornate cedar
privacy laws and consumer laws might apply. as free players are not consumers and thus have no legal protection usually
or some licencing bs
fringe salmon
erm, yes free players are consumers, you agree to a Term of Service, doesnt need to have monetary payment
ornate cedar
Could be. It really depends on the country and their interpretation of a consumer.
dont they give some reference why?
fringe salmon
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
ornate cedar
seems like a marketing and possibly legal disaster if not.
fringe salmon
why would it be a legal disaster? what
ornate cedar
What is the defination of accessing in Germany and Japan? Is this meant as you have to be physically in or is it ip based?
fringe salmon
man you've seen the same stuff I've seen, how should I know

new god of war game?

yes

might be the first mmo i try if it comes to pc

not saying exclusive on PS5 stream = will be on pc
ashen lark
Hogwarts legacy trailer looks Pog
legit begging for this to be on pc
@bleak pike it is
Whole time, till end of trailer I was hoping to not see PlayStation exclusive
My wishes came true
feral ferry
I do not remember when was the last time they released a GOOD Hogwarts game
And this one is open world as far as rumours go
novel umbra
it is true
feral ferry
I AM EXCITED
feral ferry
J.K Rowling is an idiot but Wizarding World I do like a lot
feral ferry
Though Avalanche, isn't this the Just Cause studio?
And the one that made that mech apocalypse game?
slim token
i hope she was/is not involved with the development of the game
bleak pike
highly doubt it
feral ferry
Waitwhat
ornate cedar
Avalanche also made shadow of war if i remember somewhat without checking at all
feral ferry
Avalanche's last games I have never heard of
ashen lark
I mean, her involvement with some parts of story might not be bad
bleak pike
She is a stupid bitch
feral ferry
She was actually interesting until she released Deathly Hallows
ashen lark
Still some of her stories are good
feral ferry
After the saga ended she went weird
bleak pike
Ye but.
ornate cedar
no it was madmax
ornate cedar
One trick pony they call that
feral ferry
Why did she have to make the Cursed Child is beyond me
Cause it was trash
The series ended on a great note with Hallows, she had to go back and ruin it
ashen lark
I hope Hogwarts legacy will have ray tracing
feral ferry
And I have heard rumours of a transgender serial killer in her next story?
Like come on girl, stop making Dumbledore gay
slim token
she cant because he isnt
feral ferry
I do not want more Dumbledore x Grindelwald
I wouldn't mind some swinger action with Harry x Hermione but that's just me
ornate cedar
Dumbledore x Grindlewald gone... sexuaaaal
feral ferry
Dunno I am all for equality and respect for other humans
She's just trying to really rub it in
ornate cedar
It is pandering.. feels unnatural.. like she wants to atone for something
feral ferry
Did she do anything wrong 
Dunno, Harry Potter series sold insanely well
Too well, the craze was insane
Eh guess the cash influx corrupted her or something
ornate cedar
I could... ehhh.. there is an other highly sold book from an not too cash money friendly person
slim token
it is pandering, since it was done well after the story was finished
fading spade
Anyone else here have rocket league on macos or linux and couldnt get the refund they promised?
slim token
compared to a well done character like miles
fading spade
I always thought he was just from reading the books
ornate cedar
The thing with it is, that it has little to no impact to the story or narritive. Leaving it unspecified would possibly change much if at all naritively speaking.
sleek gorge
80 euros for a game ๐คข

looks like factorio to me...

Does it have an end game or is the system resources the limit?

Very neat. Gave up on using buildings here. Drains FPS 
novel umbra
can someone give me an actual point why someone should buy a PS5?
or well
a console in general
ornate cedar
because you like the number 5
fringe salmon
dont have pc but want to game/exclusives ?
novel umbra
PS5 seems like the better buy over the xbox, neither seem liek a good one to me
there aren't a lot of exclusives anymore
fringe salmon
demon souls, god of war2
fringe salmon
it is
novel umbra
it isn't
fringe salmon
they confirmed it is and that it was an error that showed it as a non exclusive
fringe salmon
bloodborne will definitely get a port too
fringe salmon
???????????
fringe salmon
it's the game they made before the first dark souls
ornate cedar
ssd
fringe salmon
yes its by the studio that also remastered shadow of the colossus
novel umbra
ye
fringe salmon
and everyone loved that remake
novel umbra
yea
the gameplay trailer was trash
it'll be a release title
so no time to fix it
unless they do a giga crunch
fringe salmon
how was it trash lol
novel umbra
clunky af
fringe salmon
the camera was a bit too close at some scenes was the only part I didn't like
fringe salmon
...have you played any dark souls game?
novel umbra
basically no repercussion to blocking a hit of a boss
I have
I couldn't block a punch of a huge enemy without having a ton of stagger
ornate cedar
game too hard cus journalist told so
fringe salmon
ok, we dont know the build, we didnt see a hud so we dont know the hp/stamina the hit took away???
ornate cedar
Just dont get hit lmao
fringe salmon
it could very well be a NG+ run with gear you wouldnt have there otherwise, or a dev spawned shield just for showcase etc.
novel umbra
yea
a shit showcase
and how they ran through
doesn't represent demon souls well
fringe salmon
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ still a ton better than the CoD gameplay where they failed the tutorial shot to show the gameplay
novel umbra
the cod gameplay was like always
was funny how he had a crosshair on his binoculars
and then quickscoped
fringe salmon
idk I never really saw gameplay of cod before bc I dont care about the games
novel umbra
in the solo campaign
the trailers for them always have effects turned up to 11
looked like cod to me
ornate cedar
a little fishy?
ripe tendon
I was not expecting a new Final Fantasy so soon, honestly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tBnBAkHv9M
ripe tendon
I mean xiii was 2009 and then xiv was 2010 (2013 for the good version)and another 6 years before xv. I figured it'd be a lot longer before we ever heard anything on the next ff
obviously not elder scrolls longer but still longer
feral ferry
feral ferry
Looks like the subreddit I got this from is getting banned
Not advertising the /r/ tag
Yeah here it is advertised
No wonder r/KotakuInAction is blacklisted Can't handle the reality
fringe salmon
looks quite fake anyway, probably just before/after restocking/rearranging
ornate cedar
There could even be contracts to have certain amount on display
fringe salmon
did it sell badly though?
feral ferry
Yeah
ornate cedar
yea, hoping the journalists would confince everyone to buy
feral ferry
It sold really badly
I don't remember the exact figure, but I remember 1M sales first week
And a drop of 80% second
fringe salmon
"TLOU2 sold over 4 million copies within the first three days of its release. "
ok sure
fringe salmon
????
feral ferry
And the 80% drop is really bad
ornate cedar
You can sell a lot and still be a commerial flop
novel umbra
considering how popular the first part was
fringe salmon
yeah but it's either still fake, or like on they day of tsushima release, since that came out like a month or so later
and then you can get that picture with literally any game
ornate cedar
Hype and preorders
The sales dropped a lot quickly
too quickly
normally first two weeks would be the selling period
feral ferry
So apparently it sold 7M copies by now
Reaching no. 10 most sold game
On ps4
Pair that with 300M$ budget..
ornate cedar
It is mad sus that the "professional" reviewers are giving perfect scores while audience is overall negative (with their extremes).
fringe salmon
not suspect, more of a general disconnect of audience and journalists
tough jay
It wil still sell more, assuming an earning of $30 per unit they will probably make up the 300m budget, even if they don't it's a first party title, direct profit is less important here.
fallow bronze
or that the audience is really easily influenced by a few loud voices
(havent played the game, but review bombing sucks)
fringe salmon
it's also a sony exclusives so they got money from sony to make it
ornate cedar
Review bombing doesnt explain people confused about the story and have to look up who is what
tough jay
They will also probably make an upgraded ps5 version sell a bunch of that as well. Overall the game should turn a profit, just not a gigantic one.
feral ferry
Aight, controversial opinion
I am fuckin mad Abbey is labeled as "transgender"
And in general I am mad she exists
I believe in apocalypse people have better things to worry about than changing their gender
It's the fucking apocalypse, any day you will die from a clicker
ornate cedar
But stong character
fringe salmon
meanwhile I dont really understand why so many people hate the game especially those who wouldn't even have played it even if it was well recieved
ornate cedar
Even those who played it dont understand what happening
fringe salmon
I really dont think anyone played the first and was "wow the gameplay sold me on this"
fringe salmon
people are mad joel died and I dont understand it, main characters are not supposed to always have plot armor
you liked him? well sucks I guess, it's called a story
feral ferry
You know what, I'll give Sony and Druckheimer or whatever his name is some credit
fringe salmon
did they maybe make it a not so great way he died? sure maybe, different point though
feral ferry
I completely forget TLoU1 exists cause I think it was mediocre
ornate cedar
It had less who is that now and why would you ever do that moments. and a lot of idiocity to make it work
fallow bronze
one small stpry point is not a reason to hate a whole game
feral ferry
If you ask me for a polarizing game, I will prolly name TLoU2
fringe salmon
it is for a lot of angry people on the internet
feral ferry
Druckheimer did what he wanted to do, made a game that will stay in people's heads for a while
fringe salmon
back to abby being trans, does it make the story worse? no, so it either doesnt matter or offers different story telling options, so I either wouldnt care at worst, or enjoy some good story at best
feral ferry
Realism
fringe salmon
how
feral ferry
Cause it's unrealistic
tough jay
Even if it's unnecesary pandering it's very minor / why care
fallow bronze
"but my realism"
feral ferry
Here's what would happen in a zombie apocalypse, mass chaos, people scared, people dying
I ak looking for that level of ambience
I don't get that from TLoU2
And it bores me
tough jay
^
fringe salmon
you're literally giving points why it's more realistic " mass chaos, people scared" if it helps the person to feel better, why not express/live it?
ornate cedar
This character you barely know and has little character development is now dead now you are sad pls for a lot
feral ferry
You just started playing the game? Well now your fav character is dead
You just met this new actually cool character? He ded too
fringe salmon
not the first time that would be the case
feral ferry
This new character you hate to guts magically gets a second chance multiple times and you can't even fucking end them when the game presents the opportunity
ornate cedar
pretty much side characters are dead and they are important because they said so
feral ferry
Because let's not allow the player to kill whoever they want to kill
It's not a videogame, it's a fucking message
fringe salmon
it's been like 4 month since the game is out, don't like the game? ok move on imo
you dont have to like it
ornate cedar
It does give a great meme series
fringe salmon
I'm living for the memes of Abbystrong if anyone knows Armstrong from Metal gear rising
those are great
feral ferry
Ngl the memes and the pre-release with the whole leaks thing was nothing I have ever seen
ornate cedar

fringe salmon
and the reviews make sense, disconnect from a big part of the playerbase, there is no conspiracy, or paid reviews etc.
after all there are still players who enoyed it for various reasons
ornate cedar
Its their job, and why give the critical reviewers a review unit and being anti-game would give problems as people would say you are anti-anything the game is
feral ferry
I don't care for IGN, GameInformer or those "reviewers"
Angry Joe's reaction was enough
Skill Up didn't have good things to say either
Hell PewDiePie didn't know what the fuck was he playing, and that's Pewdiepie
fringe salmon
ok let me ask you, did you plan on playing it, or even have a ps4?
feral ferry
I do have a PS4, and if it was well received I would have tried it out
I own TLoU1 Remastered
And I thought it was mediocre
ornate cedar
its the nanomachines
fringe salmon
alright fair enough, just wanted to make sure its not another discussion with someone who didnt even care about the game until people raged about it :p
feral ferry
Yeah I played the first one
Combat was annoying at times iirc
Though the story was what made the game, and it was alright
Good ending
ornate cedar
the first or second?
