Personally, a big innovation is my view was making random battles optional. The idea the first time I encountered it was just brilliant, since a lot of the time I’m left trying to grab certain leftover items, or complete specific goals and well past the point of needing to grind in the area... but the battles kept…

Honestly, after Deep Rock Galactic, derivatives of L4D have a high climb to be on the level. And so far this one seems rather generic.

I have no idea what to say here, I’ve put thousands of hours into BL1 due to its superb gear system, but not even I think most of its writing was good (though I will admit, BL2 did fuck up some of the player characters). Knoxx sure, a few other bits here and there, but favorably comparing BL1's writing to BL2's? I’ve…

I honestly have no idea if they’ll do this justice, I’ll just hope they’ve hired new writers (or hired back Anthony Burch, I presume his sister is still voicing Tina anyways). Tina’s Tea Party is honestly one of the most disturbingly funny quests in BL2.

I actually just grabbed this and ran into the Ultimate edition thing on Epic - from what you’re saying is this irrelevant then? Just buying the season pass will be the exact same thing?

Well, I despise mobile games with such monetization schemes, but I also despise the publishing industry. Seems like there’s no winning here, though honestly that last part about Twitch is more distasteful than the rest.

I was more commenting on the claim that there was nothing like this - I agree it’s basically an entire subgenre, so I thought the description was weird and worth a bit of a quip.

So... It’s another take on Stardew Valley.

That was a surprisingly disappointing, if believable excerpt (which I appreciate by the way, hearing impairment does not go well with these things). Honestly, if not for how things have just sort of seemed to ooze out I’d have more expectations this year (I mean, why not, they don’t get better chances to announce…

My day has been weird about this, I thought I’d lost out, since EVGA queue times usually rely on being fast and I didn’t get in for hours. Turns out that the entire website was down or throwing errors for everyone, so I wound up getting my card shipped today. And I only payed about as much as a FE! Why, compared to san…

Sorry mate, didn’t even manage to get one myself despite getting up hours early. What a mess.

More surprised Twitch hasn’t done anything. Frankly, the sites rules and enforcement seem to amount to, ‘what will cause people to be pissed’.

Pretty much spot on. I can’t get a 3080, I’ve been trying since last year. I can get a 3080 Ti, and at below MSRP. Is it still grossly overpriced? Yes. But almost everything black screens for me now, including some indies, and I’m unable to troubleshoot the issue. Further, this shortage is likely to last until new…

Have a like the hilarity of the point that what you just proposed might actually work. I still don’t want to do it, but damn it’s incredible that prices have been driven that high.

Given card availability, I’m not sure how much competition in this realm really matters right now. Nonetheless, competition like this is at least a good thing for consumers in the long run. Honestly though, I’ve tried for so long for an overpriced 3080 that I’m intending to enter the EVGA 3080 Ti queue on the 3rd,…

I’m buying one through the EVGA queue system - it’ll still probably be cheaper than buying a 3080, since I haven’t been able to get one except at a massive markup. And at this point I’ve been waiting with a PC that blackscreens even on old games for most of a year.

Fair enough mate, and honestly my backlog is a weight as it is.

On the one hand, I kind of appreciate the general topic. On the other, we have very different taste in indies.

Is it just me, or is this release time for a trailer a comment on E3's increasing irrelevance even with the new format? I honestly kind of liked having the trailers all stuffed into one time period so I could peruse them personally

20 series are still going for around one and a half to twice their sticker price. That said, I actually sat around on a new build for most of a decade, this one is from ‘14. Honestly, with the stock problems last year, I just figured I’d delay a few months. It’s been most of a year now though, and I’m getting black…
