Keyrock Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I bought D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. Not sure when I'll play it, but it was so cheap on Steam they were virtually giving it away. It's a Swery game, so I can practically guarantee that there will be gameplay aspects that will make me want to break my controller and throw my monitor out of the window, but I will ultimately love the game.

Hawke64 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Repurchased The Outer Worlds on GOG, the 50% discount seemed reasonable enough, though I strongly dislike the concept of Season Passes in general (which I did not purchase, because it was not discounted). I was going to replay TOW either way and it seem to be a good reason to do so.

Did the same, except I bought the season pass aswell. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Hurlshort Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I didn't really see the reason to buy it on Epic when I could pay $5 to play it on the Xbox gamepass thingee. I just don't use Epic very much. I will probably buy it on Steam or GoG after I get paid so I have my own copy.

Katphood Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I tried TOW on the Xbox(Xbox gamepass) and thought it was garbage so that's that. I still haven't played PoE II, or Tyranny but if they don't manage to catch my fancy it means that Obsidian hasn't made anything decent since F:NV. ย InXile on the other hand... Seriously, I can't wait to play Wasteland 3 once I have the time. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.ย ย

melkathi Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Back on topic of Outer Worlds. I don't regret buying it. (I did use a coupon back then) I played through it, which I can't say about every game. I did quit Pillars for example. I do not feel the least bit tempted to play through it again for the DLCs though, so not buying those.

I do not feel the least bit tempted to play through it again for the DLCs though, so not buying those. Outer Worlds struck me as a game that I will probably go back to waaay down the line. I need enough time to really forget the storylines. It was a fairly linear game. I think a lot of that comes down to the scope of it, as it was a pretty small universe. The DLC will help whenever I do go back, but I'd rather have them all be done, so another reason to wait. But I also don't think every game needs to be constantlyย replayable. I think a lot of games sacrifice narrative strength to cater to replayability.ย
melkathi Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 True, but a game that isn't made to be replayable doesn't need DLC one year after release Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Humanoid Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I shelved my Outer Worlds run with the expectation of buying a new video card soon, i.e. within a few months. Well, it's over a year since then and I haven't upgraded a thing, and I will not be doing so until next year. May as well wait for the Gold HD edition now before going back I suppose. ______________ ย On topic, my last purchase was a microtransaction for Picross Touch on Android. 3600 more puzzles for about $4 isn't too bad I suppose, at a little over 0.1 cents apiece. The main problem though is that the puzzles are evenly divided into board sizes of 5x5, 10x10, 15x15, and 20x20 size boards. The first category is too trivial to be fun, and the last one is virtually unplayable on a phone - at least my phone which is unusually narrow. Being a 21:9 6" display, everything on it actually displays smaller than it did on my previous 5.2" phone which had a conventional 16:9 display. As a consequence, I'm only actually able to play half of the puzzles, but still, $4. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
LadyCrimson Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I haven't gotten any farther in OW than the intro stuff, not because of any judgements but because I'm easily distracted and fickle lately.ย It is the first Obsidian game I've purchased since Pillars 1 tho.ย After Pillars I lost interest in similar styled rpg games.ย I've considered Grounded but the visual style doesn't suit me that much for some reason, it's not complete yet, and I'm tired of survival/base-building games as well. Avowed might be something to perk my interest tho.ย Maybe, need more info first ofc. Also on topic:ย I bought that silly be a cat game because it was very cheap, I was bored, and cats.ย And the Taiwanese RPG Xuan-Yuan Sword 7 that I posted about elsewhere, which for $35 was worth a shot and I'm liking it quite a lot. โThings are as they are.
