They both sound cool, will wishlist them and keep an eye out, thanks !

Oh crap. I didn’t mix them up, I did assume, however. Wasn’t expecting it to be single player. I thought I was basically black desert 2. My bad

Oh, yeah, I definitely agree. A high retention rate is obviously preferable but at such high sales numbers, I’m sure many of them are only gonna be there for a short while. I’m pretty sure not even WoW can retain so many people anymore.

Steam reviews are fairly positive, which is a good sign but I guess it remains to be seen how many will still be playing in a month or two. And how many will be back for the first content patches.

You’re right but I think it might be relevant for retention? If they retain 10% of players 500k vs 5 mill sales makes the player base size quite different.

Not really. There’s so many games out there, don’t waste your time with this one… It’s like outer worlds but not interesting and not funny and with some no man’s sky sprinkled in. But it’s so poorly done and the writing is so meh… Even if you add mods to fast travel and avoid other annoying things it’s still a 6/10 game at best.

Yes, ofc there’s lots of rubbish, it’s easy to make games. There’s tons of shit music. There’s tons of shit paintings, there’s tons of shit in every type of art. But there’s also more good stuff than ever before. And the previous stuff hasn’t gone away either, it’s just more and more. You can’t possibly enjoy all the good art that’s out there. Are you sure you still enjoy video games? Maybe that’s the issue…

Look up the year 2005 or whatever. Tell me how many you’ve played and how many you’ve enjoyed from that year. Some years are better than others especially if you have very particular tastes, but there’s no way there were more good games before than now.

Most of the games I’ve mentioned had budgets in the millions, but here’s some more big budget games from last year that were well received:

Mario kart world

ghost of yotei

ninja Gaiden 4

south of midnight

arc raiders

Death stranding 2

donkey Kong bananza

stellar blade

Elden ring: nightreign

metal gear solid delta

Dying light: the beast

And that’s only a few that come up in a quick search. I’m not trying to piss on your grave… but just because EA, Ubisoft and Activision aren’t making good games anymore doesn’t mean others aren’t.

Kingdom come deliverance 2, clair obscur, silksong, split fiction, citizen sleeper 2, ball x pit, blue prince, dispatch, hades 2, silent hill f, escape from duckov, outer worlds 2…

And that’s only last year and only the games I’ve played. I don’t have the time or the energy to try all the games that I want to… But sure, focus only on the bad stuff…

I’m assuming they mean western RPGs. For most there is no enemy respawn. You can only kill each enemy once. Or there’s respawn but at a set time like end of a chapter or when you’re in town or whatever.

Ah, fair enough. Only other option I can think of other than faceit for cs2 would be like a private community, with in-house games and stuff.

Back when I used to play CSGO a lot, faceit had very few cheaters. Is it worse now or something? Or why not play that?

I think it’s a great rec. Rothfuss’s style is amazing and everyone should experience it. (And more people need to feel the pain of knowing they’ll never get to read the end :p) It’s true that it doesn’t fit with what op wanted, but well… They just need to go into it with the proper expectations so as to not be disappointed.

It’s not just that it’s not the main plotline…

Pretty good book, but doesn’t fit with what op needs.

Played the intro/demo thing they had up a while ago. The world and stuff seemed promising. The combat was slightly better but still quite similar to the original game. Which imo is not that good of a thing. I’m still gonna play it, cause I love the game, but still… was hoping for a bigger improvement in what I consider to be the side of the game that most needed jt.

Haven’t played the new colossus yet but the new order was pretty good. I can recommend it.

I’m quite chill… just pointing out the difference between fact and opinion. And besides, who gets to decide what is a masterpiece and what isn’t one if not “everyone”?

No game can ever satisfy everyone. But just because it wasn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s not one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didn’t enjoy clair obscur like I thought I would, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not an amazing game.
