Well, actually, a UI pass is in the works before the Steam release, though just how much work will be done on it is really up in the air.

Exactly this. Pay for the content you consume, and only the content you consume, then move on. When the media companies realize that they aren’t offering a good enough value to keep people on so many different services, they’ll either adjust their prices or find a way to make the services more readily available.…

It’s pretty simple, really. You generate a world and poke around on the map, looking for a good place to set up that isn’t too dangerous. Seven little happy faces represent your place in the world, and all seems pretty great. Their cart breaks down, as it always does, this time on a frozen stream. No worries! You’ll…

Here we go again. DM Screen: nice, not necessary, easily made from a few binders and binder clips or other items from around the house and customized for your personal game. If you insist on having accessories like these for your game, invest in some quality, system-independent items.

“Lone Wolf and Club”?

Bleh, I hope not, I taste awful.

Try frying the inside of the bread before building the rest of the sandwich.

A “liar, thief and fraud” wouldn’t be spending time to deliver on those promises, when they could be busy chasing that almighty dollar in a different game.

Uh, this actually isn’t a new thing. This year alone, we had Vermintide II, Yakuza 0, The Division, Sniper Elite III, Just Cause 3, and Project Cars 2. Having Origins (not Odyssey) as the headlining game isn’t new when compared to that pattern. The only new thing is that they are only offering a single game to start…

All you need are some dice, a good grasp of the rules, a good set of notes, and the knowledge of what gives your group a good time. It’s about telling a story. Everything else is extra.

It does look a bit more like a flower than the Rising Sun flag, but given the connotations associated with that flag, I’m honestly not surprised that they took that precaution.

What I want is a third party library manager (or several competing library managers) that can tap into the APIs for these storefronts and offer lightweight library management without the heavy system resource requirements of all these different storefronts running at once. Preferably offering ready comparison between…

This guy buys Early Access games.

Just about any consumer who had to deal with the headaches of getting charges reversed and accounts unlocked cares about security. With an attitude like that, you’re just begging to have your credit card compromised and credit score tanked.

Your sarcasm sensors need tuning.

Generally speaking, it really didn’t make for a better game, either, just increasing the amount of paperwork and time spent looking things up. There’s a reason that kind of differentiation got dropped from just about every game system, and it’s not entirely political in nature.

Yes, yes, the old FFXI excuse.

Twenty dollars.

It’s trying to map the incredibly complex UI to a controller. You’d wind up doing an Ultra Combo just to place some pretty basic stuff.

My wife and I have been donating a dollar a month for the last five years at least (it’s been that long), and will continue to do so as long as they continue to work on the game. We also sent a one-time donation equivalent to a AAA game for each of us, based solely on the enjoyment we got out of the game, and we’ll be…
