tl;dr for the idiots in the Board room: good single-player games sell, and sell well. Make more of ‘em. 

This is an excellent, crazy-addictive resource extraction/building/technology game and it has always been a great bargain at $30. After 7 years or more, yeah, fine. Raise the price. It’s still an amazing value for anyone who appreciates the kind of game that it is. If you don’t appreciate these games, fine. The…

Of all these, Starfield and KSP2 are the only ones I care about. Starfield because it’s been too damn long since Bethesda put out a dedicated single-player game (7 years and counting!). And KSP2 because it’s been almost TEN years (March 2013) that KSP version 0.19 hit Steam and I decided to try it out, whereupon it…

Jank is a Bethsoft core competency. Any game without it would feel soul-less.

I literally 5 days ago gifted my adult daughter The Witcher 3 Complete Edition for her to play on her new Steam Deck. Kind of irks me to see it $40 cheaper than I paid last weekend. *sigh*

Well, after updating, I loaded up my GOG copy, selected my save (which was last saved a couple years ago on a totally different PC) and it downloaded/sync’d up from GOG’s servers and I was good to go. Completely seamless from my perspective. YMMV I guess?

Not to worry - Valve will release a VR-only version that doesn’t play exactly the same games, but try to convince you it’s just as satisfying anyway.

Because Bethesda. Bethesda never changes. (e.g., their scripted mechanic of inducing some random quest or encounter has been the same for a very long time. And it didn’t stop at FO4, just FYI. It was part of FO76 at launch, too, in the form of random robot encounters.

If that DOES happen, I will rage-quit the game instantly, screaming at the top of my lungs: “PRESTONFUCKINGGAAAAAARVEEEEYYY!!!”

You should jump back - the 4.0 update added a new Casual mode, plus a bunch of granular settings to customize a lot of the more challenging aspects for newcomers or people who gave up a long time ago. (DISCLAIMER: I have almost 770 hours in NMS, with almost 500 of that in my long-time “main” save, so I am not an…

I have at least 2,000 hours in across a dozen saves. In one save from 4-5 years ago, long since obsoleted by dead mods and changes to the base game, I had nuclear-powered stations around the Mun and Minmus, Ike and Laythe, ore refining operations on Minmus, Ike and a couple of the moons of Jool, and surface base…

I have been playing KSP on Steam since ... *checks calendar* ... March 2013. Nine and a half years ago, ffs. For nearly all of that time, across one MacBook Pro and two different PC’s, I’ve simply created a desktop shortcut directly to the KSP.exe file. These days you can do the same thing. Browse to the install…

I got my 360 in March 2006. It was hit with the RRoD about 2 years later, well after the warranty. However, MS had a replacement program in place by then - for about $100, they sent me a replacement refurbished unit, warranted for a year, and instructions on how to transfer my content and XBox Live profile to the new…

A couple years ago, I became a NMS billionaire the “hard”/slow way - I manually mined a crap-load of cobalt, sold it a Space Station (which then crashes the local economy purchase price by about 80%) then bought it all back at less than I sold it for. I’d then spend 30 minutes or so buying more cobalt a few hundred at…

Still pissed about Bloodhound Step. I’m a PvE player and hate PvP in all my games. That nerf has royally fucked my build and muscle-memory after a hundred hours in the game. Thanks for nothing, FromSoftware.

I for one HATE the Bloodhound Step nerf. That’s bullshit for single-player-only gamers like me, especially since I died to it myself too goddamned many times beating that stupid evergaol where it’s first introduced to most players. I’ve spent over 100 levels grinding to advance the story (sucks to get old kids but…

Your reply underscores mine - the tone presupposes that once we get to a certain age and our reflexes drop a notch or three that we stop loving the same types of games we loved a decade, or two, or FOUR, ago, that they’re suddenly “not for us.” #ProTip: we don’t stop loving the kinds of games we loved as kids or…

Ah, the traditional “git gud” comment. Wait ‘til you hit your 6th decade and then get back to me, sport. 

Another reason to love the game (and there are many).

Stop giving sociopaths notoriety. Don’t publish excerpts of their hate, don’t link their fucking Steam and YouTube accounts, don’t give us shitty details about their hate-filled shitty little existences. They do this for attention and to validate their own worldview and this kind of writeup gives it to them.
