and the open source, free tools for creating such games are getting better almost by the day.

if you enjoyed diablo 2,grim dawn feels like a spiritual successor to that game specifically, whereas d3 didn’t really.

I used to hate early access - why should we pay to test an unfinished game, when that’s an actual job that people get paid to do?

but I’ve come to recognise that it’s am important avenue for funding for many developers, and tbh, I don’t think any of the early access games I’ve played have felt “incomplete” - perhaps lacking polish, perhaps in need of more content, but that’s true of many full releases, and early access not only gets you these games at a reduced price, it effectively guarantees a large amount of free DLC as the game gets made more complete.

my only real complaint now is sometimes I like early access features which end up getting cut from the finished game.

what bugs, if you don’t mind my asking? I haven’t tried it yet - my decade-and-change old pc would probably just pop like a corn kernel.

imo people should be vocal. perhaps not angry; or, be angry with the publisher, who presumably pushed am unrealistic timeline/release of an unfinished product.

if people just accept it, because hey, they did warn us 🤷, that just sends the message that this is a ploy that can pay off.

we need to make it severely impact sales so that a) paradox feeds the developer the money needed to bring it up to spec, and b) thinks twice about doing it again.

have you ever seen those composite images made by combining a huge number of other, radically different images in such a way that each whole image acts like one “pixel” of the overall image? i bet AI models ‘see’ those images very differently than we do.

I can’t say I’m surprised. I was wondering whether I should jump in on day 1, since I played C:S 1 pretty heavily, and want to support the devs, but this definitely means I’ll be waiting at least a few patches.

that’s obviously your call, but if what you were expecting here is something you desire, where else are you going to get that?

(im asking this question genuinely, I’d like to know if there are other alternatives out there.)

i browse nothing but all. I’ve seen maybe a handful of posts that maybe featured a single tankie in the comments.

granted, I’m on kbin. maybe that’s making the difference

I always felt like the arm got the short end in the expansion. they just never got anything to parallel the krogoth.

their static artillery being shorter range also always hurt them in my vs cpu games. though the vulcan was pretty awesome of you could somehow generate enough energy to sustain its RoF.

I wonder if the verb Google will stay with us when its origin is lost in history

I’ve seen lots of people who say they’re from China, but they all look just like Japanese people, can I really just take them at their word?

oh yeah, the image works fine when I open it, but kbin gets wacky previews from some sites.

what on earth is that preview image?

it’s not like celeb porn fakes are anything new, anyway.

podantic?

don’t kinkshame me!

their personal benefit… personal?? it’s not like slaves could quit, and find another job. if they developed skills, it helped them perform their forced labour, and so the benefit is all to their owner and master.

you know what? I’m done. “while(…”

I’m curious: would people prefer a single upfront cost on a game, in-game purchases, or for the game to be free but you need to support the developer through voluntary donations (which carry no reward)?
