I have to agree. I'm also the key target audience for Avowed but, because I don't have Gamepass, chose to wait for the game to be on sale rather than buy it at launch for that very high retail price. I still bought it only at 20% off, but would've bought it at launch paying full price had that price been reasonable.

Finished Soldiers Live. I don't know, I think I like the original 3 books more. There is a dip afterwards that does get better with the later books but it never quite comes back to the level of the first 3. Saying that I will continue reading the new books as they come out. I started immediately with Lies Weeping. Another thing I would say is that while Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen is pretty heavily inspired by the Black Company he does a better job with his characters. You are way more invested in the non PoV characters of the Malazan world.

I actually made a post suggesting 6 new spiders that you would see in a U.S. Park , you should check it out you might see one or two that you would probably like to see in Grounded 2 .

I thought that it would be neat to have stick bugs in grounded 2 , a critter that would take you a minute to realize it's there after mistaking it for a stick . Stick Bug - Harmless : stick bugs like to pretend to be twigs to hide from predators , stick Bugs drops stick bug limbs and stick bug parts which can be used to make a spear or an axe or a scythe .

figured since we have blue butterflies we should have another species of butterfly in the game so I picked one that would be the obvious one you usually would see around in the U.S. Monarch Butterfly - Neutral : Monarch butterflies are usually flying around looking for flowers they can extract nectar from , Monarch butterflies drops Monarch Butterfly Chunk , Monarch Butterfly Scales , Monarch Butterfly Wing , and Shivering Monarch Butterfly Scale .

some one mentioned something about the dragonflies should be in Grounded 2 I wouldn't mind having Dragonflies in the game Dragon Fly - Neutral : dragonflies are usually are near water , dragonfly drops Dragonfly wings which can be used to make something for gliding or something like that .

I feel like Flies should be in grounded 2 I know we already have gnats but flies are bigger then gnats Fly - Neutral : flies are usually flying around garbage looking for raw meat to lay there eggs , Flies drop fly meat .

Post approval is a manual process. How long it takes depends on how many posts are in the queue and how many of those new posters are from bots or spammers.

I can't seem to edit it anymore, but while I was playing I thought of another thing. How about having a setting that combines Dashing and Sprinting. Think of Shadow Warrior Remake (The first one) You tap shift and you dash, hold it down and you dash THEN initiate sprint. And I'm not sure if Buggy Mutations/Progression will address this. But I do hope that upgrading your Omni-Axe ALSO upgrades your Soldier Ant somehow to also be able to cut down Husky Weeds. Feels a bit sad losing most of the utility of my big boy once grass is no longer needed.

In the great primate Media posting wars... If you had to pick just one, is DJT more like a baboon or an orangutan? Curious people want to know. I mean, some baboons have that yellow hair, but orangutans are more orange.

after labour accomplish nothing with 1 year in power now there are another mandelson scandal guess uk politic can always become more pathetic

I finally managed to find a building spot I liked, but of course right on that spot.. Are these large unremovable grass straws. Please allow us to remove these. Or at least remove them from this amazing building spot right next to the snake. Besides that. I'd like to get Multiple/Scrollable Hotpouches back And a toggle feature for an equippable Omni-Tool Now besides THAT.. Great game!

That was my reaction to when Deadfire launched -- to nowhere near the buzz as PoE. To be fair, Eternity1, unlike Original Sin, was always big time sold on nostalgia, and eventually, that crave for the good ol' days may be fulfilled. Still, in the case of PoE, it's certainly not the "type of game" at fault -- or Owlcat wouldn't have rolled these things plus DLC plus Enhanced Editions en masse from an Eastern European CRPG factory line. :D In the case of TOW, it's not the type of game either, see Fallout New Vegas. What would have bummed me out (and kinda did) with TOW1 is that it was announced as a sort of Vegas-Like project (see the announcement trailers... "From thy builders of Vegas!"). And then was more like a baby's version of an Obsidian game, of one I've played better versions of before (not talking size, but depth). The entire industry is struggling a bit atm though. And if you ask me, the thing to notice recently has been about specilization -- of picking an experience and going all-in on it rather than watering it down so that everybody may be onboard. A game like Kingdom Come would have never seen the light of day at Bioware, Bethesda and Obsidian -- see how Josh had been hoping to make a historical game since forever, but bosses would go: "Nobody would buy that." And even FromSoft exploded by Elden Ring -- a title likewise that would have never seen the light of day at most of the old Western powerhouses of the industry, as deemed as too "inaccessible". These games were allowed to excel at what they were targeting -- and attracted added people simply by doing so, making them curious what's so "special" and "unique" about them. Warhorse have talked about how many history buffs they got onboard who aren't even hardcore gamers, for instance. As a side-effect, Warhorse are now pretty much the only top dogs on the "historical RPG" block too -- there simply is nobody around making a game like them on the scale of them, zero direct competition. Loot and combat and dwarves and elves and Pip-Boys? Dime a dozen. It's actually not just games. See also music, where there are few omnipresent superstars still left that everybody and their cat owns a record of. And rather, everyone tends to build their own streaming playlists, tailored towards them specifically. The market here too has exploded so much that everybody will eventually find something fit to their tastes. (Over 19,000 games released on Steam alone in 2025). One thing is clear though: Chasing trends with dev cycles of 4-7 years ain't gonna cut it. By that point that trend is long old hat. And everybody else chasing it as well may have already picked up what was left of all the buzz once you're finally ready to ship yourself. :D

Hi, I have been loving Grounded 2 and have really struggled to enjoy the ranger class as much as I want to. The class struggles with one major thing... PICKING UP ARROWS!! I wanted to submit my idea to improve the system. If anyone agrees please add a comment so it can happen!😃 I think that instead of having arrows as entities that stick into enemies and drop on the ground after a few seconds (allowing retrieval) and consequently flying around the map or getting stuck under the map never to be used again. Another method would be to leave the arrows stuck on the bug (or just keep track of if the creature has been hit by an arrow) and only give the player the arrows back when they loot the creature. This solves the chasing arrow dilemma, as well as adds more preparation time for boss fights to ensure you have brought enough arrows to win. (not just waste time picking up the 20 arrows you brought) I give full permission for this idea to be used. Please add this into the game so we can all be satisfied when we play the ranger class!

what does it take to get my comment approved? It's been a long time.

Since as usual I don't feel like committing to a new game just yet, I keep fiddling with the games I already own. Besides NMS/7 Days, I keep stockpiling resources in Enshrouded, so that one chr. can be the resource-server for other characters. Mostly because I also can't make myself commit to choosing base location spots with other chrs (not to mention even twink-half-replaying the game to do so). I do the same thing in 7 Days. "That's a nice spot, maybe here." "This spot seems even better, maybe here." "Oh wait, that spot over there might be perfect." Repeat 500 times. At least in 7 Days (and to some extent, NMS), you can have 400 bases all over the map if you want, so you can just abandon old locations. Stupid 10 base limit in Enshrouded. But hey, at least I'll have 100k+ of all building blocks in case I ever make up my mind.

Days are getting a little longer, tad warmer, more sun. Meaning I can spend more time on the porch staring into space, vs. in the house, staring into space. The yard is nicer to look at than a wall. Still no call from the docs/hospital re: hubby surgery. They did say it might take a while to get the appointment. I'm guessing mid-late Spring. pfft. :p

TL;DW - Moscow still believes that it has the right to dictate the laws, alliances, military size and might, language, and every aspect of Ukrainian society without having to pay for a very costly occupation.

I'm hoping that Avowed 2 shows the same growth as Outer Worlds 2, but I am concerned that the improvements don't seem to be increasing sales. Although in retrospect, I'm the target audience for these games, and I still played them on Gamepass instead of paying full price. So I think the business model is more an issue than the quality or marketability of the game.

Avowed actually fared pretty well, and I already finished Outer Worlds 2 on the 3070, but I now have upgraded my GPU. ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V - DDR4 - 32 GB INNO3D RTX 5080 X3 OC Crucial MX100 512GB Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 - 4 TB Dell U3415W 2 Dualshock 4 gamepads Antec P101 Silent Seasonic CORE GC 650 Obviously I spent too much but hopefully it will serve me well until the next decade.

2 years is a bit far the other way. How many AA level games take two years to make nowadays? I can't actually think of a single one recently. I'd also rather suspect Avowed in particular suffered somewhat from the MS acquisition; suddenly there wasn't pressure on to deliver a game in a way that would keep Obsidian solvent. Average profit margin is almost certainly rather misleading, because most games don't make any money back at all. You have 5 games with identical budgets, one makes double its costs, the other 4 make only 80% back. That's an overall/ average 20% profit over those five games. But only one was a success and made money, four lost it.

As I understand it, currently (0302) this Cricket does not respawn, which makes it almost impossible to get the corresponding gold card.
