    Helldivers II

    I sort of wonder how they ever got such a great game out the door. QA processes seem to be pretty shitty. They had a money printing machines on their hands and all they had to do was proceed carefully and not fuck it up but god damn they have. Nevertheless, still a commercial success I guess.

    What are you playing?

    My advice to anyone who is thinking about it is 1) Definitely play it, but maybe wait on it to develop a little more. They have a pretty aggressive plan for improving it and I don't know how much replay value it will have given that it is a linear, exploratory story. 2) Degradation, mainly...

    Haven't played this in a while since it started melting my CPU. I see that they're still trying to unfuck spawn rates...

    V Rising

    Yeah 3rd partying that fight and killing them both is a common tactic and can help unblock if you if you're stuck. I got to about the middle of Act 2 and started having trouble with some of the bosses solo. Like I would get really close and just couldn't quite get a win. Probably getting...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    It's a fantastic game and one of the best values ever on Steam. I've just been a little disappointed how the late game has developed over the last couple of releases. Looking for some more character depth, base comfort options, crafting stations, story elements, etc. Not just "Mistlands, but...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Did they add interesting new features or is it just rinse/repeat new resource, new mob types, annoying deaths?

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Announcement of what? Release of Ashlands from beta to stable? It's a great game but they need to pick up the pace. Lots of things I would like to see before I start another playthrough. Have yet to completely finish it.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I guess I have an unpopular opinion. I tried this game briefly, twice. Could not stand the art style, the voice acting, or the spastic gameplay. Now we have woke shit too? I don't get it.

    Helldivers II

    What exactly does the publisher bring to the table? Are they basically investors in early development? If so, then that's where their risk is I guess.

    Helldivers II

    Wasn't the argument for why they wanted this something something griefing? Smells like bullshit to me. Seems more like wanting information and linkages to sell shit.

    Like many things in life, there is plenty of retardation on both sides of this question.

    Helldivers II

    These guys have a great creative department but their QA and development processes are dogshit. They look like amateurs.

    Helldivers II

    Because they don't have any ideas on where to take the game other than constantly fucking around with the meta. I don't know why I'm complaining; I stopped playing it since I started having CPU overtemp problems with it. No luck resolving those so far.

    Manor lords

    So what do you guys think of this game so far? Wondering if I didn't give it enough time. It just felt like too many details thrown at you all at once in a not fun way.

    Manor lords

    Tried it out for about 20 minutes before closing it. You're immediately thrust into micro-managing a bunch of details and a bunch of building types. Not my cup of tea.

    Manor lords

    This game grabbed my attention a couple of years ago. I like medieval sims but this particular flavor being city builder, not so sure. We'll see. I couldn't get into Banished so I'll probably end up refunding this one. What I'd really like to see is a M&B/Bannerlord clone that does a better...

    7 Days to Die

    Damn. I searched for this thread and couldn't find it before I posted in the general news thread. Anyway, I am not sure what to make of the announcement. Money grab? Port to console and raise prices since it is 1.0?

    Seven Days to Die has decided that A22 is 1.0. Very dynamic spokesperson.

    Wondering if I should go back and actually finish 1. Been thinking about doing it anyway.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

    I think I got through about half of this game but, as you said, I got frustrated with the combat. It was a real work of art though. A lot of heart went into that world and the story.

    Fallout 76

    I played it for an hour or so last night on the recommendation of my kid. Kind of a meh experience. Not all that excited about. It seems like managing inventory is going to suck. Got it for free on Prime so no big loss. I'll give it a little more time.

    Nice thing about the Sickle is that you will never have to worry about ammo if you manage the heat carefully. The thermal meter is small and can be a pain to try to keep an eye on it but you eventually just get a feel for it.

    Helldivers II

    I have not tested the eruptor yet but the other three are my gotos as well. Sickle or Scorcher for bots, usually. Dominator is good too. Depends whether you prefer to spray or single shots. Sickle for bugs. Spray and Pray Shotgun is pretty good for bugs too.

    Yeah Taleworlds is another great example of this. They've barely done shit the last 18 months. Meanwhile modders have been fixing their dogshit code since EA. Modders run circles around that retarded team.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I have to agree that, despite inexcusably slow progress on it that past couple of years, this is one of the best values on Steam.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    I spent quite a bit of time yesterday going through the VNV directions. They did a nice job of trying to be very detailed about it. I nevertheless had issues getting it going. It's one thing to run a single total conversion mod, like Prophesy of Pendor, that fundamentally transforms the game...

    Thanks. That's a different archive than the one that was turning up for me when I searched. It's crashing when I launch, though. I don't have the patience for this.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Figures I would hit a problem on the last god damn step of this VNV modding shit. Anyone else done this recently? When I hit Mod Manager Download, it doesn't show up in MO2. If I do a manual download, there is not a loadorder.txt in the archive. Am I missing something?

    Got through the utilities with one hiccup but confirmed working. There better be some titties in these new graphics.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Started trying to mod this last night using Nexus but ran into problems even trying to download the first mod, which was a 3-part graphics overlay. Actually, I installed the 4GB aware patch right before that and had issues with this texture pack. NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas How strongly...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Precisely. If you actually were able to keep the team together long enough to make it to Mistlands, you found out it was an insanely annoying experience. What is it with devs confusing tedium with engaging challenges? Sure you have to have some grind and some frustration but so many games are...

    I think there have been two kinds around for a while. One had a head that looks a little different. I have not played much recently though.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    I played the OG games, 1 and 2, to completion and loved them, but I have not gotten far into the others. I have started NV a few times but I never really get going. Weird how some games draw you in and other do not.

    A year and a half since they released the previous biome and all they can come up with is "Ashlands will set your house on fire, LOL"? Could not have seen that coming.
