Good games can still fail, great games can have the luxury of let people do the marketing for them.

When I switched from Windows to Linux, that was literally the first thing I heard from a colleague: "What about your games?

He knew what Linux was, but had never used it (until I convinced all my colleagues to switch to Linux).

That’s was after WWII, during WWII Latin America was a “safe” heaven

You may not like it but that’s how peak productivity looks like.

Stardew Valley meets Little Witch Academia

How on earth I never heard about this, great recommendation.

So my transition from cringe lord to become a better individual overall is actually just me getting better at video game? Fair enough

The number of leads youtube/podcast advertising generates is not that impressive, the number of leads that become buyers is even less impressive. When a company spends too much on this type of advertising for a product that is not “premium”(meaning overpriced shit), it casts a shadow of doubt on where they get their revenue.

I can’t get over this bullshit, Nvidia could become the best company in the world, with the best products at the best prices but I’ll never forgive this level of bullshit, fucking brute-force rendering.

That’s “brute-force rendering”, no one do that anymore old fart.

You also have the team synergy as a factor in a team based game. Even if the match is perfectly balanced if people have any grief with each other in the same team(bad previous interaction, bias against certain characters, the good old racism/bigotry against other player or just difference in playstyles) the match is doomed.

Look at the release of Rise of the Ronin for PC, the game has a huge CPU bottleneck, poor performance around big cities, looks like the game render stuff that shouldn’t be rendered. The last patch they released? “Graphics mode”…

Hoping that the only shit thing of the game is the AI powered NPCs.

I cannot understand how is this game rated Steam Deck compatible if it is badly optimized?

The game have problems with NVIDIA specifically, coming from Ubisoft they probably only tried to optimized to AMD to get the Steam Deck Compatible badge before launch.

I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not better than the base game.

I replayed the entire game after completing Cyberpunk 2077 and finished it this weekend. Sadly for me the game doesn’t hold up that well in various aspects and it was one of my favourites. The story is great, the ending is really well done, but the combat is too simple, the leveling of the game is all over the place, the RPG aspect of the game is really underwhelming and the game is just too damn long. I actually ended up enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 more at the end, but TW3 is a better game in general.

As for my “all-time favorite”, that depends.

Nier: Automata changed me, the game had a real impact on me.

Zelda BOTW is the game that made me feel happier while playing it.

Sekiro is the game that just clicked perfectly.

DAO was my all time favourite RPG but Divinity 2/BG3 both took that spot.

Chrono Trigger is the game that I’ll always remember, the singleplayer game that I’ve replayed the most.

Terraria is my favourite indie game.

I have a real soft spot for Bloodstained, I loved Casltevania Symphony of the Night and I waited so long for Bloodstained and the guys delivered what I expected. The first game that I wanted to do 100%.

Origins is a good game, shouldn’t be an AC. The Assassin stuff on Origin hold it back actually.

Man, I dunno, but anything after AC Origins hast felt so bad and soulless…

I could say anything after AC Revelations is soulless

The problem isn’t the amount of value, they’ve essentially removed OW1, there’s no way to play it again from a game preservation perspective is goddamn awful what they’ve done. Probably the only time you can play it again is when they release an Overwatch Classic for $29.99 in 10 years.

Almost all publishers are ass, should I never buy a game again?

Yep /s

Same goes for OW.

I paid for a 6 x 6 Hero Shooter they gave me a F2P 5 x 5 version with a lot of changes and I cannot ever play again the game that I paid for. I do mind a lot.
