Same here. While the arcs at the end of the series were a little too serialized for my taste, most of the time the overarching continuity was really good.

How does this involve Linux?

I’m amazed by how well many games run on the Deck. You obviously can’t have every graphic setting cranked, but it’s still pretty good.

I’m not sure of the reasons why other people don’t like the games, but for me it’s primarily just not being pulled into the story and world. So far I’ve tried Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spiderman Remastered, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, and God of War, and the only one I actually finished and liked was Uncharted. Horizon I liked the gameplay and world fairly well, but the story was a bit boring. The others I put a number of hours into and quit because I wasn’t enjoying myself. I didn’t have super high expectations of any of them, so I don’t think it’s that. They may just not be my kind of game anymore, although I do like some games that are somewhat similar.

Yeah, it can be frustrating in times like that.

Oh yes, those are a lot of fun! It does add a lot to the game. Just a warning, I’ve found them to be a bit buggy at times, so I would recommend doing a save before taking one. They may have fixed it since I took one though.

I would have a problem with a game that sells premium bullets, because as I said in my previous comment, it gives an actual gameplay advantage when playing against other players. Which means it’s what I would call pay to win, and means I wouldn’t play it. To this point I’ve played several free to play games fairly extensively, but never spent a cent on them.

You have a different definition of pay to win than the other poster and I do, and while I don’t agree with it, that’s fine. My primary purpose for responding to your comment was to try to explain what they were referring to. I’m not trying to start a big argument over a game that I don’t even play, so I won’t be going any further with this.

That’ll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I’m sure! I’ve got a lot of hours into both of those games.

You can pay to get things done more quickly, but you don’t have to pay to win. It just takes more time. From what I hear from players of the game, there’s no actual gameplay advantages locked behind a paywall, only cosmetic items. They obviously want you to pay to proceed faster, but it doesn’t appear to be like some games that make free players use lower tier weapons and items. You can earn all gameplay items through grinding it out and never need to spend any money.

You’ve got a nice variety of games to try there! Trombone Champ was pretty huge for a while there, but I had pretty much forgotten about it. Maybe I’ll grab it just for the laughs.

I never got into Fallout either, although I only ever tried 4. I did have someone mention that I should try the earlier games as apparently the tone of them is different. It’s sometimes hard to overcome first impressions though! It’s great that the show gave you the boost to get hooked!

That’s really what is holding me back from getting it. The idea sounds really interesting, I’m just worried that I won’t enjoy the actual gameplay. I’ve had it in my cart a couple of times during sales but I never end up getting it.

What you said about micromanaging things does help. I don’t mind a little micromanagement in games like Age of Empires or Civilization, but if you get too much of it happening I tend to get a bit sloppy. I’ve found it depends a lot on my goals for the play session and also how long I’ve been doing it.

It’s something I’ve looked at before, and while it looks like it could be a fun game, I don’t have that much time to spend grinding! It definitely appears to be one of the more fair f2p games out there though.

I don’t play the series, but they’re definitely very cheap right now!

Sounds like a really good deal! I’ve got all of the Witcher games, and they’re pretty good. I’m not really a Star Wars fan, otherwise I would pick up some of the games while they’re on that deep a discount! It makes me wonder how good some of them are for a non fan.

Ghost of Tsushima is a game I’m definitely keeping an eye on. I’ve unfortunately been disappointed with a lot of the recent PlayStation PC releases though, so I’m a bit wary. I’ll wait to see what kind of discounts show up in a year or so!

No problem! :-)

The Total War games look really interesting, I should give them a try. I play Civilization, Age of Empires, and Crusader Kings though, so it’s sometimes hard to fit a new series in. I do see that Atilla is the newest game without Denuvo though, so I might just grab it!

I didn’t realize that, thanks for the info!

I do enjoy that type of game by spells, so I might have to get it the next time I’m in the mood for that! It does look interesting.

No one here could ever have a backlog, right? ;-)

I used to play Terraria years ago, but it’s been a while! Satisfactory looks pretty interesting, but I’ve never played it.
