Some of the boss fights felt amazing once you start learning their attack patterns, but then others were just... lacking. The savage fly one comes to mind. It wasn't particularly a difficult boss itself. But when it summoned ads, it became a fight around rng. It wasn't a fun fight at all. Felt like the devs realised it was too easy and chucked in ads then left it there.
Separately, why on earth the boss doesn't receive damage for slamming down on the spiky enemy when its spikes are deployed... Missed opportunity!
Was the same for me too. I remember getting DoW2 and being so disappointed. Then 3 came along… I’ve given up them making a decent game again.
Even that DoW remaster isn’t looking good. I’m holding out until I see the reviews but if they’re only going with AI upscaled textures for £30 then no thanks.
Same. I don’t even recall setting it up until I stumbled on it one day and could track my wife. I pulled a few pranks until I revealed my hand but we’ve never turned it off. There’s nothing malicious about it and we’re both happy to keep it on.
To be in this position the car has already ignored several warning signs and presumably maintained a speed that doesn’t allow it to break in time. So 1) Don’t let the car be in a position to have to make this choice in the first place. 2) Say fuck it, speed up and send that old lady flying. May as well give her the exit of her lifetime in the painless way possible…
For the short term I see the Switch 2 as just a better Switch. The games I couldn’t play due to frame rate are now playable (a very much throw money at the problem solution). But otherwise I agree, the Switch 2 library is pretty thin and it’s not worth the money currently. There’s only so much Mario Kart one can play and everything else is cross platform at a premium price.
Like Cyberpunk is cool but I already have it on Steam. And I certainly don’t fancy paying the switch 2 tax for the new Rune Factory and Fantasy Life. Fantasy Life literally has a “because we can” fee lol. It’s £2.50 to upgrade to the S2 edition ffs!
I came back to this game after putting it down for over a month and my surprise when it said there was an update available right as I did. Sadly I still need to get to what, chapter 9, for the dlc to begin? But there’s some additional quality of life improvements that are welcome to see.
CachyOS! I was on Mint before this and had a bunch of issues running games. I think this was in part from going from NVIDIA to AMD (9070 XT).
Decided I had enough and instead of doing a simple Mint reinstall, I gave Cachy a go. I’ve had a little issue here and there but the experience has been beautifully smooth compared to Mint. It’s now set up better than I had it before and I’m over the moon with it haha.
I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
Unfortunately it was due to being “friends only.” Player fleet I guess? I just couldn’t figure out how to filter them out before I got there and kept coming across them.
That range one caught me out once but I figured that one out since it tells you to come closer. I’m going to take that tutorial suggestion though. Cheers!
I keep trying to get into Elite but it never clicks for me. I was flying around earlier trying to dock into a station but everyone was refusing me so I closed the game. I’ll probably look up a new players guide before giving it another attempt later.
Cancelled mine too. Don’t particularly care about the AI. But I don’t need it and trying to justify increasing the price for it didn’t really work on me.
I’ve also gone all-in on Linux now. While I have a Mac, my gaming PC was left on Windows. Now it’s running Linux Mint and while gaming on Linux has a bit further to go, it’s night and day compared to 10 years ago. This time I feel like I can actually stick with it.
I have these same issues with mine. Checking the logs shows the requests are coming through but nothing updates, which is annoying. I’m at my wits’ end!
After experiencing several other bugs I’m thinking of calling it quits and giving it time to mature a bit.
Final Fantasy XI. It wasn’t necessarily difficult to get the game but creating an account and subscribing was very painful (and still is). In a weird way, it served as a filter for those who probably wouldn’t enjoy the game anyway.
I pity the guy somewhat. It would be absolute gut wrenching knowing you’ve lost a life changing amount of money. But this reeks of desperation and taking out your anger on somebody else for your own mistake. Now he’s suing the council after failing to bribe them with something that may or may not be recoverable. And if successful, lines his own pockets at the expense of his community’s.
Accept the expensive life lesson for what it is and move on… It sucks but it’s your own flaming fault and nobody owes you a thing.
I try not to judge people too much on it, sometimes it just happens to slip the mind which is fair enough.
The people who don't indicate at roundapoints however... It's not just about safety, but letting others know if they can enter or not. By indicating you help one another and it takes minimal effort to do so.
This isn't just McDonalds. I walked into KFC the other day and it's got so darn expensive there, too. Nowadays we don't bother eating out unless we're on the road or something. Just ain't worth it.
I got the server-side ads a few weeks ago. Switched to another account and was ad-free again. I'd be happy to pay for Premium as it supports the creators I watch, but for ad-free alone it's not worth the £13/mo. The other features jacking up the price aren't much use to me.
There are now subscriptions for dlc?! 💀 Yikes!
