Deadlock went from a consistent regular update cycle to a more inconsistent one after Valve's winter vacations this year. Not a bad sign or anything as the game is still in alpha.

I don't blame them. They went from just having to compete against Overwatch 2 to suddenly Marvel Rivals coming out of nowhere and dominating the hero shooter scene. Looking at the hero aesthetics of Deadlock with shit like Yamato compared to shit like Psylocke, they better be worried of getting Concord'd because their designs are absolutely ugly. Anyone that isn't a Valve dickrider can see how fucking ugly that shit is.

Anyone that isn't a Valve dickrider can see how fucking ugly that shit is.

And I can also tell that almost any of the other hero shooters have either much better gameplay feel, actual gameplay depth, or both than Marvel Rivals. No amount of T&A can stop Rivals from feeling like a Chinesium phone game.

If they stopped interfering with studios THEY HIRED to fix the games they might not be in this mess.

and also stop making games that compete with themselves.

Wow, you got emotionally attached to yet another HiRez product with the expectation they wouldn't fuck it up yet again? I don't even want to make jokes at your expense anymore.

That's as bad as me buying Assassin's Creed Valhalla after Origins and Odyssey.

You pretty much have to

See, this is what i really despise about PoE2, and judging by the state they released .2 in, it's not going anywhere.
In PoE, sure, there was only a limited number of leaguestart-viable builds, that could do most content on a shoestring budget. But once you got done with that and had some cash to spend, you could make absolutely stupid shit work. It might not have been as effective as meta builds, but it was still absolutely viable.

Here, in .1 i always felt like i'm being hammered into exclusively playing a select few options regardless of how much i farm up, which ended up being a major part of why i didn't even bother touching .2 until seeing how it went...a-a-and looks like i'm not gonna be touching it in the future.

Well, they're not interfering with shit anymore, since the entire Paladins team got fired two months ago.

Had this one on my wishlist for years. The creator finally came out with a new trailer. Loving the artstyle.

You're telling me Sony is literally repeating the Great Demon Souls fumble?

This is the same company who looked at the sales data for Helldivers 2 absolutely exploding across the world and said "Let's get those numbers down".

Sony has been braindead at business for years, it's only because so many companies are going mask-off retarded thinking they can get away with anything that reality is kicking in and they're suffering for it.

Nintendo finally pitching to their main userbase: Sony executives. (Sorry Ricky, that was mean, you're not a Sony exec.)

I don't care if Nintendo finally drops a good Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War remake. I refuse to spend $70 on a game in this current age of gaming. There's no fucking way I'm spending $80 to $90 for a game, and especially not for a game locked on a console.

I got a fat backlog of games on PC, previous consoles, roms/rom hacks, and games with near limitless replay value to last me a life time while I drop money on cheaper games.

When I realized that most games nowadays are costing nearly CAD$100 after taxes is when I stopped buying new at full price, especially when the few I did buy at full price ended up burning me.

im looking forward to this happening so i can continue to not care about modern gaming and pump some extra thousand hours or so into Mount and Blade on my 1k dollar rig (Warband Runs on 256mb of Vram and a Core 2 duo)

I should reinstall Warband. Pendor calls to me again.

Schedule 1 is still rolling along. A mostly single player game is sitting at PUBG's average player base. This is going to sell 10 million copies this year.

Not going to lie, I kind of don't understand the draw, I have to presume the multiplayer part of it is what's getting the most draw because I've been playing solo and it just feels like more busywork than I really care for, which is weird considering I can play schedule 1 for about an hour and then tire out of running around slinging rainbow meth then decide to go play No Man's Sky for 8 hours straight lasering rocks and trees to build houses and castles I'll never use and no one will ever see.

Just depends if the gameplay loop hits you. It's clearly hitting a lot of people

459,075

This weekend's max current player count. This is an insane gaming hit.

It's why I'm wondering if a lot of those player numbers are from people co-oping the game or solo players, because my personal hangup with it is that there feels like there's a missing portion of automation to solo play that leaves me with having to deal with a lot of shit alone. Maybe this is corrected further down the line with more workers or something, but when I'm hitting a point where I'm still having to order in the seeds/soil/fertilizer, stock my supply shelves, concoct the samples with the right additives for unlocking a new customer, all while still having other orders coming in, it's like there's a hole in the gameplay loop that just leaves me thinking "I shouldn't have to be doing this". I think my issues would be solved if there were more automated processes available so I didn't have to micromanage multiple properties.

The gameplay loop hits a little too hard for me, because I have to answer every single order. It is big feelsbad when I miss fulfilling a request even though it's ultimately not that important, I just don't feel like I have the time to spare to hit the goals needed, especially when some people are ordering 7-9 units of a given bud. I certainly don't dislike the game, I think it'll definitely get better over time as well. Maybe I just need to rope people into playing with me.

don't feel too bad i have a similar thing I'm always afraid of a failure snowball even when its unrealistic when i play games.

GGG continues to prove they don't playtest fucking anything. How does something like this even get through? The playerbase is filled with minmaxxing spreadsheet autists, so obviously any possible broken shit WILL be found. And for the non PoE guys: yes this is genuinely insane, absolutely absurd levels of currency generation.

Why playtest when you can sell a beta (now being called "early access") for over $30 for a game that will become F2P at launch so retards can do it for you while making money at the same time.
