Didn’t Blizzard fire all of the community discussion moderators?

I’ll grab early access for either a new studio or a studio with a history of taking their early access to full completion so that there can be more options, but not for IP that’s in the hands of mega studios/ones with a long history or ones with a history of giving up on previous early access projects.

I got Valheim, Rust, and Raft all early access and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them as well as seeing how they have been developed since I don’t know much about game dev and it’s interesting to me. Kinda like watching plants grow.

Seems like it could be that they didn’t fix any of that and then decided to charge at least twice for the same experience. If it’s not expensive people will accept flaws, but if they have glaring flaws and decide to increase the cost that’ll piss people off. Or I could be wrong, I don’t know what every gamer that gives it a bad review is thinking unlike your illustrious self.

Mine’s probably nostalgia tinged but here goes: FFVII, VIII, IX, and X I love the setting, I love the mechanic changes between the series from materia giving various boosts in 7 to the actual spell slots changing stats in 8 and the summons in 9, and blitzball in 10. The story for each was unique in their own world ending way and beautiful to run through. I replay them probably once every three-five years or so but they mark a high point for me. Adding to the list, Demon’s Souls. I never fully understood the storyline behind it but the sequencing of zones around the central hub and the combat are some of my favorite aspects. I need another play on that soon… It would probably be a little weeby of me to take some life lessons from them but they did help me to understand that hard decisions sometimes have to be made that include personal sacrifice and doing things that are unpleasant in order to move everyone forward and up.

Sounds like they expect the current known bugs to take most or all of the time remaining to polish out, and they won’t be able to handle new ones found in beta. Definitely worrisome.

Honestly, classic wow got me back into it for those same reasons. I can barely play retail for the story, thankfully I already have a large guild of friends I’ve been playing with for years so we still have a micro community.

Can you clarify?

I pirated a few games and played them to death.

Then bought the steam copy when I had money to support a game I love, AS A GOOD PIRATE DOES. Of course I have no steam time recorded for it lol

?

What’s it called?

I think only the third one does. The other two should be steam or standalone capable.

Are there mods for the second and third?
I played a shit ton of DA:O but only a few runs on the second and didn’t finish the third as I lost interest.

I still recall putting dark souls down for a solid couple months after being frustrated that I couldn’t beat the area after the first boss.

Because my dumbass thought that I was supposed to go through the graveyard with all the skeletons and got my shit handed to me repeatedly. Honestly made me love the game more when I realized there was a little path up to the right to go to the actual next area…

I mean, it’s already a standard trope in video game manga for there to be repeatable normal level quests and shared “main story” level quests that are one and done for the whole server. Seems like something they might implement here.

I’ve been on a private palworld server with about 10-14 people since launch. It’s been pretty fun so far and I love the mechanics but there’s a lot of fine tuning to do. You can climb most vertical surfaces, there are a whole lot of pal abilities that you unlock with crafted gear like electric hedgehog grenades and ice penguin rockets. Storyline is pretty short, you can usually complete it by level 13/50+. I’m interested to see what other story it will have or if people will mod their own in. Definitely worth the early access in my opinion.

Some sort of open world rust/fallout hybrid sounds about right.

With an annoying npc that keeps finding you to add mail.

Oh God, history is repeating itself. Quick, what was popular after Waterworld?

I dunno. They’re bragging about Warcraft reforged being a success and an example of them “listening to players”.

Does tribal wars count?

There was also one about forming your own country and passing laws and stuff but I don’t remember the name. It was out around 2002 or so

Depends, are we expecting the sub to survive?
