Me to... I still play the current ones off and on but there hasn't been a new one worth mentioning in a long time.
I'm still waiting for the global version of Lost Ark. Played the korean one for like 400-500 hours and enjoyed it a lot.
i'm hoping crowfall is good. kinda afraid it's going to vanish overnight given how long development has been, though. 4 years and still in prealpha.
for anyone unaware, it's kinda like daoc, i think. though i'm into it because it reminds me of shadowbane.
I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I miss the UO and EQ days quite a bit :\

Definitely some good stuff there, thanks for pointing it out.
I grabbed Risk of Rain 2 and Sniper Elite 3.
I have a hard time believing that they are delivering a steam key for Rage 2 instead of a Bethesda key. To those who are interested and want a steam key, be careful.
They have Wolfenstein Youngblood listed as steam keys. Weren't physical copies supposed to be Bethesda Launcher keys?
I felt the same so I got in touch with their customer support to ask and they've assured me they are definitely Steam keys.
Taken a screenshot of the page just in case I need to ask for a refund in a few weeks though!

We probably will know once it's launch time but they're customer support is pretty good and refunded me quickly in the past.
Browsing humble bundle I see Dying Light Enhanced Edition is $15. Despite not being a big fan of Dead Island is it worth picking up ?
definitely. it's better than di in every way.
i didn't like di at all, but had a blast with dl. the parkour stuff makes it work.
I do like Mirrors Edge which is a reason I was interested in Dying Light.
Are the story/characters any better in Dying Light ? Dead Island was definitely lacky in both departments
it tries, but not really. it wants to have some interesting characters and good plot beats but doesn't pull it off. it's generally goofy, but you do get charmed by its weird style.
kyle crane is a fun protagonist
Alright at least it tries which is better than nothing I suppose.
It feels like constantly being gaslit with regards to that World War Z streaming numbers thread. People just don't get it.
Also, another positive impression for Supraland. It's crazy how rapid the progression is at the start. Within 30 minutes I was running at 2x speed and triple jumping. I'm excited to see more of the powers.

If you're looking for Mirror's Edge in Dying Light you'll most likely be disappointed. I know because I bought it for the exact same reason and got bored a few hours in. There's too much focus on the (not that exciting) story and on combat.
Bringing Chris Avellone out on stage at E3 got me interested in what they are trying to do. If they manage to pull it off I'd certainly check out the sequel
He isn't a magical cure all, especially if he isn't the lead writer that pulls the entire narrative together.
He has been touted on some games where he ended up just doing some side stories.
For people worried about the combat in Supraland... with upgrades it becomes really easy. Even that one fight mainly consisted of a puzzle first, fight second.
Keep moving, make use of all damage dealing abilities, etc.

Combo shot is your main damage dealer when you get it.
Spamming the sword still works (it can get CRAZY fast with upgrades). Especially in cases with shields.
Once you get orb shooting gun it does MASSIVE damage despite seemingly being a utility power. When I got TWO double damage upgrades for it I tried attacking it with it and it ONE SHOTS all normal enemies.
There was supposedly difficult boss battle near the end of the game that I totally demolished with that gun. Rattle Hag was harder because I didn't have the orbs yet.

Same for me. Steam maxes out my connection speed. Nothing else seems to.
I still like Elder Scrolls Online. There's loads of content, even in the base game. Lots of lore, great music, and good voice acting from some of the main story principles too.
When I was downloading free Subnautica it was so slow I actually reset my router (didn't help).
I was tempted by that deal, I played the first hour in the demo and the sword play I found so frustrating that I decided not to buy it
Yeah same here, I think it is due to the fact they have data centers all over the place I don't think anyone else has that kind of infrastructure for gamestores but yeah I can tap out my 300mbs connection on steam every time whereas not a single other game service even comes close.
As far as game stores are concerned the only one perfoming better than Steam is Origin for me. The other either perform the same or worse.
Such a great game. Love MMOs that accommodate solo players.
Good shout actually, I think they have a data center about 50~100 ish miles from me, so that likely helps.
Quick technical question: I have 2080ti - is it possible to set a locked resolution on the GPU that all games will then (up)scale to regardless of their own resolution setting? My HDMI extender only likes certain resolutions and colour ranges and when games change the resolution it seems to break it. So if I could set a resolution for everything to scale to (like how consoles work) then that would solve my issue.
Yeah Supraland's combat isn't all that, but it works I daresay.
One thing I'd REALLY like them to change is the chime that plays when enemies notice you.
That ding is some 'jump scare' shit, switch it to something funky like a short trumpet tune it'd be much better. Also a radar would be nice to have to know where enemies are.

I have no idea how Dying Light got hit with the "poorly written" meme considering that it's an open-world action game where you encounter story elements so infrequently that it doesn't matter, and that there are plenty of other poorly written games -especially in that genre- that get a pass.
For instance, the writing in Supraland is horrendous. Put aside that it could be due to translation issues, the plot of revenge from one king on another for marrying his crush, and the weird Jesus figure, and the fart monster, I mean, I don't even feel the need to spoiler tag it it's such a mess. You can argue that the whole game is in the mind of the young boy depicted at the beginning, meaning the plot is purposely juvenile, but that's an explanation, it doesn't make the plot compelling.
Of course, critise the writing in Dying Light, but it's not any worse than any given Ubisoft open-world game.

This is so amazing. I am not even cherry-picking the best generated reviews. This OpenAI tool just works.
Uplay is a tad slower for me, Origin even slower than that.
Epic is the worst, every fortnite update is a fucking joke. I'm sure they cap my speeds to something silly.
Sergey himself hardcoded your username to give you shit speeds, after reading this forum :p
after purchasing all the neptunia stuff my activity feed on Steam is a work of art:
Congrats on the Nepification!
Are there any open world games where you can casually explore and be rewarded with neat events and good loot that also have excellent action combat?
I'm trying to find an open world/wide-linear RPG action type atm that I can get lost exploring in, but either the combat in the games I look at seems lacklustre, or the exploration is described as a bit shallow.
I made a thread recently asking for recommendations, noting that Metro Exodus was one of the games I was interested in, but no one replied recommending it.
I've read that the exploration is a bit shallow and the open world parts a little empty, is this true? That's the main thing holding back my purchase atm.
I loved Elex's environments, but the combat was such a huge drag.
I don't think the game I'm after exists yet...

Outward had some hype of being an open world game with actual decisions and nice events. Havent played it though.
It is quite hardcore though.
I got it for 2ish pounds via a retail copy here. I had to check with the shop that it was indeed 2 Pounds and they confirmed it XP
Gonna see if any collectors would want to buy this for cheap off of me on ebay :V
total warhammer 2 is like a new, even better game since the last patch. the map feels a lot more active now that the ai's been re-tuned.
and the skaven, man. they turned one of the worst-conceptualised factions into the game's most unique, and it's hella fun. you actually do intrigue and have a whole meta-management layer now! it is SO cool.
ca's support for total waaagh has been amazing.
saying other games are also badly written does nothing to alleviate or deflect dl's shortcomings.
like... it's ok to enjoy (or overlook) bad elements in a game you have fun with. dl is a good game with bad writing and, again, that's ok.

for dl specifically, the poor writing stands out more because you can tell they're trying to do better and coming up short. it's not "this game has no writing," but "this game has bad writing." and like, that's ok; i'd like them to do better, but it isn't so bad that it ruins the game.

it's not open-world, but you might enjoy unexplored. it's an action roguelike that's all about exploration and using your cunning to succeed as you try to beat a dungeon. combat is straightforward, but serviceable.
I finished Supraland. Only 7 more chests left and somewhere i missed grave. But finding those could take hours XD I spent over 20h playing Supraland and i loved every minute of it. Wait i am lying, i really don't like spawn rate of enemies after you finish the game. They are not hard but they are annoying. But again there is reason why there are that many of them . All in all amazing game and sleeper hit of the year.
