That’s the problem with the fediverse in general. It’s a lovely concept, but it’s hard to sell people on something that has 10% (if we’re being generous) of the content they’re used to.

That’s behavior from games 30+ years ago.

Ah, the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia.

I miss OMD: Unchained. 😔

How many times are they going to try this shit?

My wife’s job has all of those amenities, too! Well, it didn’t at first, but she’s been 100% WFH since covid. She’s got an office with a window, cats in the workplace, lunch is brought to her straight from the kitchen, and she can even take breaks to go on walks with her family during the day.

Oh man, my whole desktop experience used to be themed. I would spend hours finding the perfect skins.

I’m with you on that front. I almost never pay full price for games and loathe microtransactions.

Be that as it may, the only interest I have in this newest iteration of FF7 is as a retelling (or whatever) of the original. If it’s going to cost $210+tax for that experience (in full), I’ll pass. It’s not about the hours, it’s about getting the full experience in one package (and the associated price tag).

To be fair, BG3 is very much the exception. It’s a fantastic exception that others could learn from, but an exception nonetheless.

I’m not paying $70 for a single game, much less multiple $70 installments. If you want to choke on what they give you, be my guest, but I’ll pass.

Maybe if they sold it as one game, instead of selling it in parts and charging $70 for each…

*shrug* It’s a start.

I know I’m in the minority, but I absolutely loved MoP. It’s probably my favorite expansion.

Oh, for sure. I don’t think he’s necessarily a bad person, he’s just not particularly likeable anymore. Maybe it’s age, or what life has thrown his way, but his personality no longer seems as appealing. That’s the main thing he had going for him, imo.

I really only liked Will Smith as an actor because he seemed to be a likeable person. Now I know better.

I’m with you on that. The DLCs all feel pretty mediocre compared to the base game. I will still buy the next one at full price, but only because I love the base game so much.

Oh wow, a new Delta Force game? I used to love the series, so I’m interested to see how this one turns out.

It’s not a game, it’s a lifestyle.
