That shit was always objectively a bad idea, anyone who bought into streaming games should never have been allowed to be in charge of their own money to begin with.

When a single journo phones in an award it’s called fucking up, when it’s an entire community it’s a meme.

I’ve only got a little bit into the game so far and man everything about the game just hits home. If it were just a bit bigger or more freeform it might have been my favorite. I love the weird but recognizable world! Reading letters that sound like they could be straight out of our future hit really well.

Unfortunately it trails a bit behind Seasons A Letter To The Future for me though because it’s less open.

Absolutely Cassette Beasts. An amazing monster tamer and the ost is easily better than anything else this year and that’s just an objective fact.

Rogue Trader was fun and while I’m not a 40k guy the setting and system didn’t hurt the game like DnD did to BG3.

Season A Letter To The Future was a great game too, about cataloging a small slice of the world before the kinda event that marks a ‘before’ and an ‘after’ in history.

Saw someone else mention juscant and it’s up there on the list too, i wish it was just a little more open or freeform.

Okay, but I’ve just created a functional train in the normal game, so that’s one thing sky Islands don’t have

Dude has a long history of being completely clueless.

Isn’t he the asshole who threw a tantrum about pirates and swore to never release on pc again? Dude is just a worthless little bitch that doesn’t actually care about industry in the slightest. Every success epic has ever had has been in spite of him.

Wouldn’t surprise me, with pirates generally being pretty permissable and that being the only trick right wingers seem to know.

DRM only affects people who paid to play the game, the point of cracking a game is to remove the DRM.

Of course steam needs to call home when it’s online, but when you are offline you never need to connect again if you don’t want to.

Steam itself supports controllers. If you want to play a game without controller support you can use steam to play with a controller regardless.

Modding a game can be a complex ordeal, stream simplifies it (usually) and offers a download manager.

Steam reviews are far more trustworthy than ‘official’ reviews and that is just a fact. Reviewers are often bought, and even when they aren’t they directly paid for they are indirectly pressured to offer inflated scores, operate on a weird scale, and are often incompetent besides (the bad at games stereotype has existed since the 90s at least, and for good reason).

I was a backer for Phoenix point, i took my money back and never bought the game when it came out. People are equally pissed off at developers who take the deal.

Even more so when they release a game that’s not even conceptually on the same level as what they promised, grumble grumble.

Most of the nominees were just not deserving (through an the categories) ngl

The textures are so not worth the space. Sounds? Sure, we are still making progress with audio design that can be noticed and enjoyed. Graphics? We are way passed the point where we can meaningfully improve on those without making concessions that just aren’t worth it.

I figured this would be about the games themselves (not that they are actually good this year), weird. Do people really get hyped about ads? I’m subbed to the YouTube channels that the games i want to play will announce on, why would i care about ads in an event that is supposed to be it’s own thing? Is this how it feels to be out of touch?

Starting to think you should keep your fan projects under wraps until you are essentially done.

I miss zenonzard personally, a card game that wasn’t a straight mtg clone (or worse) or stupidly simple (fuck hearthstone, all my homies hate hearthstone). All the good games die while fucking candy crush lives on.
