Same when WON was switched off and we all had to use Steam. Endless retrying to get into any MP game. How we forget.
I rememeber when Valve forced the usage of Steam for CS as it was my thing at the time. It was so much worse than the cluster that is most current online game launches. I've held onto that forever and it's always in my mind when people praise Valve.

I gave up at that point on principle. I boycotted Steam for 7 years or so until you mostly had to use Steam to play most PC games. I've barely touched CS or CS2 and those mods or valve games since then.

I'm not even sure what "far left" even means. Nobody has ever been able to give me an example of what it is or why it's bad. Pretty sure having more rights is better, right? 🤔

You don't have rights in Stalinist Maoist states. You don't have food either... read about the Red Chmer and the attrocities, in Venezuela they are eating zoo animals. Communism/Socialism always leads to famine, poverty and mass murders.

The far left you're describing are tankies. And yes, they are annoying, silly, and pretend that Mao and Stalin were great. But they are such a tiny fraction of the left that they can be ignored entirely. A much larger portion of the left (but still tiny) are self described communists or socialists, but are sane and would never advocate for Stalinism, Maoism, or any kind of dictatorship (Cutter mentioned Pol Pot, which was hilarious as he was very far right). Those governments were closer to fascism than communism anyway. There is no reason you couldn't have a communist utopia in theory. There's some good ideas in there. The problem is you can't just transition from capitalism to communism without some wacky stuff happening as a result. So most communists and socialists set that as an ideal, and simply work to improve the system we have bit by bit. I don't see any harm in that.

Tiny fraction such that this drama has exploded again, ten years later (in an election year no less, shocker there, talk about wedge issue dramas) with often some of the same people, bankrolled by some of the same corps/interest groups.

I picked up the 2k22 version for $17 less than two years ago. I got the 2k23 version in a humble monthly for $12. No way I would pay $60 let alone the $120 they want for the ultimate version with the 40 years history.

Definately not worth it because 2k has already shut down the 2k22 game's servers. I expect 2k23 game's online component to be turned off at the end of the year or in 2025.

Gamers, please consume product and be excited for new products. Whatchu gonna do when AAAA experiences run wild on you!

Have they still not showed anything from the scale of Tribes 1 and 2? I'm going 32v32, vehicles, huge defenses, etc.

Dont think so. The 5v5 demo/beta wasn't that impressive. Hopefully the game gets there in the end.

So he says, but that's seriously doubtful from the look of it. Making wild claims sure makes free publicity easy to get however. $20 for a crappy looking card game when you have 100s of similar apps online for free or a $1 or $2? Um no.

Its $15 on Steam and I paid around $10.50 for it on a discount site. Its a fun game that the steam fest demo (one of the top picks of the fest) sold many on getting it, including me. That said, the full game has a bit too much RNG for my tastes. I generally like to try playing bad or sub par decks I'm given to make it work. After 10+ hours to get a win, I don't recommend that for this game. Hold R to restart the game at level one is a shortcut every player of this game should learn.

For ten bucks its ok and at least the dev listened to complaints early on about one boss fight being just a total run killer and nerfed it in a patch last week.

The problem with games like these is they are well designed, but missing content. It's the same with Darktide. That's probably the best horde shooter to come out since L4D, and yet after about 20 hours with that game I have no desire to go back to it, despite how well it played. The limited number of missions made it tedious instead of fun and varied. At least in helldivers the maps for the missions are procedurally generated, so there is that I guess. But from what I've seen it might suffer from the same problem Darktide has. Lack of content in mission variety, enemies etc.
Once you've seen it all there is little desire to go back and play it. This is why I'm stoked for Space Marine 2, at least it's going to have a story line that will be worth going through, which I kind of miss in all of these games, and I hoped that Darktide would have. (It's storyline is about as vague as it could get)

Thats been my concern as well (on top of the other big ones with HD2). I haven't played Darktide in months, not even to try whatever was the last big patch that changed the class/skills system. I can't remember but I think I only got one class, the vet up to 27/28 out of 30 levels. Fun game but eh, there are other things to play.

Bizarre unawareness to think people are playing more comp because they "like the changes". You forced a reset on player rank and mandatory 10 placement matches, and the season started 10 days ago. So players are completing placement, which may be more comp than they usual play. Still got 45 days left to the season...

Exactly. I got a good laugh at read that dev statement though.

Dear God yes. I started that one up and could not put it down. Best space sim I ever played, by quite a distance. Loved the physics.

One of the developers (Steven) was active on the IWar forum for years - super nice guy.

Hah, I never did play those and forgot that I had them on GoG already.

Yes, yes he was. I still go back and play it through about every two years (thanks GOG).

so.... aside from rootkits being "scary" - how has one ever affected people? yeah, no doubt "computer slowdown" but they say that about everything so the phrase is meaningless.

Sony BMG did this same shlte in 2005 with their XCP rootkit and it allowed viruses to evade detection by anti-virus programs news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4427606.stm

It's disingenous to say that rootkits have not "ever affected people"

This, the sony music cd rootkit drama got me to boycott all Sony products for over 10 years.

I wont even be trying this game for free!! We all know it's nothing but a gimped asset flip of Assassins Creed Black Flag with all the fun and ground exploration removed in favor of microtransactions, pay to win mechanics, and a fucking Taylor Swift soundtrack that's designed to poison our minds with W0KE anti-Christian Donald Trump hating Bud Light drinking ideology that's scientifically designed invoke cravings for DEI specifically to weaken the American military aged male and empower misandrist or some shit. I'll just read rage filled reddit posts and watch all the angry eight hour long YouTube videos about it not being the next generation PlayStation 4 game that we wanted, but the poorly optimized game that it is; until I have an aneurysm and die instead. That ought to be fun.

But it has MIchelle Rodriguez in its ads telling me how great the game is!

The horror story reports of bugs on PC aren't helping this along with matchmaking bugs. People couldn't use the matchmaker, only play with friends. Some say you need a PSN account for crossplay on PC others say you don't. Lastly, the anti-cheat is apparently an older one that people view as a rootkit.

Hard pass for me right now. Game looks fun at least.

This is quite possibly the make or break patch for OW2. The passive heal is probably dumb but everyone seems to think healers/support are too overpowered now.

The rank change is the most important because competitive system has been bad for a long long time. The 7 then 5 card win system just made it a horrible drag once you hit 3-4 losses. Odds are you were going to down rank at that point. After 5 losses it is guaranteed. Then it will take another 10-30 games to gain that rank back at some levels. All with what appear to be cheaters, bots or smurfs who are trying to lose to down rank.

The new Season9 skins look good at least. Oh, and the store will have recolors of old skins for $10-20 too. Yay or something.

Speaking of skins. The Kpop collaberation did so well that they have a Cowboy Bebop one soon they just teased. Expect $50 to buy those as a pack.

Below Zero is more of a expansion turned into a full game. That I lost interest in after 30 hours or so.

I really had to force myself through that one. I think the isolation of the first Subnautica is what drew me to it, and BZ's addition of other characters you communicate with (correct me if I'm wrong) sort of spoiled that for me. The world also felt a bit smaller and more restricted.

It wasn't terrible, but I much preferred the original.

Yeah the smaller world was not helping. They forced you into the caves early on which got annoying and with air plants every where it was easy (but at least not too annoying). I built one big base near the starting zone and that was it.

Many didnt like the story and the main character that you play as self narrating the story as she/you go along. I could see the complaints but it didn't bother me much. The overall story just was odd and didn't work. You could tell they had re-wrote the story a couple of times (orig writer was fired IIRC).

I lasted maybe 10 hours before I started spawning in resources and any crafting plans I couldn't find in the world. Farming stuff just didn't appeal at all. Later on I just couldn't be motivated to finish the storyline even with looking up some locations and cheating items in.

This really confused me for a second, since I was sure that Subnautica already had a sequel... but I guess since they didn't have a "2" in the title, they just went with that for this one, instead of going with "3" since it's the third game or actually just using a sub-title again.

Demo has shown me I should hold off on buying the game at release. Second, it has helped me learn of the complex evo mod for HW1/2 and of a game by that mod team called Era One (same rts genre) coming out later this year possibly.

Also, it seems to be pretty universal in the complaints about the camera. I watched two streamers yesterday get frustrated with it on top of all the complaints I've read. Hopefully things get better for this game. The War Games roguelike mode is interesting to me though. But fighting over camera controls, speed and UI in general is not fun inducing.

Then again, I generally prefer Homeworld Cataclysm er Emergence (on GoG only these days last I checked) over HW1 and 2 these days.
