It definitely shows that they cut corners. For example, the game is ultimately small in scope, there aren't a lot of maps, and sometimes you only need to travel like 2 maps to get from one city to another. I would also like more enemy variety.

I have to say I wasn't overly impressed by ToA. People see it as a "return to form" for the series of sorts, and it certainly sold very well, but outside of graphics I think I prefer Berseria to it in all other aspects.
My new monitor arrived (Gigabyte G27Q), I think this is the first time I've bought a monitor that I was happy with the factory/default settings.
Tales of games are usually longer than they should be, at least those Tales games I played. ToB overstayed its welcome a little bit, it should be around 10-15 hours shorter. I did not have this issue with ToA, however. I also disagree with "return to form" because I also think ToB was an overall superior game so there is nothing to return to.
sorry I missed this post, but unfortunately I cant help you there, Ive not used it for a looong time.
might as well give it a shot again
I still remember that trailer. I was blown away by how good it looked at the time, and I had wanted to play the game for 8 years until it finally happened. I was super impressed again when I watched it recently and realized how much of that trailer is actually in the game. The trailer came out about 5 years before the game launched. How many games look the same as they used to after 5 years of development?
I appreciate reading the thoughts of others who played the game. It seems like quite a few folks moved on from it when the grindy Korean MMO mechanics revealed themselves. It's to be expected of course, but it's still interesting to me to get first hand accounts of this happening.
Now this is interesting. This RU/CIS sub was created only a few days ago, after I last saw the SteamDB page. You have to wonder what their motivation was to create a separate sub and then explicitly allow RU and BY to use those keys when their policy is to block sales in those countries. I assume these keys are still not being sold in Russia so is Sony expecting RU customers to buy it from the other CIS countries when they become available? This sub was created 2 days before the launch of the game. Did somebody over there notice that their pre-orders were kind of low and then did this to try and make up for it?
EDIT:
Paradox announced that they are increasing the price of CK3 DLCs, both current and future. And by increasing I mean almost doubling. And by CK3 they mean all their games eventually.

Took their bloody time
Wow, looks very interesting. Went into the wishlist instantly. Thanks for the heads-up!
Just saying, I can copy and paste the same post for Rollerdrome, too. Damn this looks sick! Didn't even know Private Division is publishing a new game.Your welcome. It brings me joy to spread the love of indie games
Cult of the Lamb has a legitimately fun gameplay loop. I tried a few minutes of the demo during one of the Next fests and just picked it up this weekend. Plays well on the Steam Deck so far.
Also, I cannot stress enough how much I like the Add to Library button on Steam. Holy moly it is game changing. I can actually redeem free things in mobile and not have it go wacky. Now if Valve just added buttons separating Add to Cart and Checkout (or had it be two button clicks at the very least)

Btw i just noticed.. Roll7 is owned by Private Division (2k) who is the publisher so why does it say its a indie game.
this grinds my gears to no end.
because words don't mean anything anymore
Nearly 15,000 CCUs. Pretty insane considering its previous high was around 2,000.
HEY EVERYONE!!!
More cult related activities coming up in about 10 minutes! Though as I mention in the title, our cult is becoming more of a retirement home these days. Last time we lost lashman and RiruLumi to old age, and the heart and soul of our cult.. Toot. You were the best of us and we'll never forget you Toot!
Also I may or may not have taken back the necklace I gifted to Toot which upset a lot of followers.I totally did.
We'll be starting in about 10 minutes!
To be honest visuals are big reason why i even decided to play it. I am not JRPG fan and i don't play JRPG games but this is leaning west enough for me to enjoy it. And honestly i know that as newcomer i kinda don't have right to say this but i would like for them to lean even more west.
Thinking of dropping Age of Wonders III. I’m worried nothing seems to stick with me.
First it’s faaar too much Homm and I don’t like Homm because I’m bad at it. The building and science trees are a joke. And there is a general lack of clarity in the UI, the feeling that it does the job but could have been better organized and clear.

Death Stranding coming to PC gamepass
I really hope Sony hurries up and release Gran Turismo 7 on PC. Despite it's mtx shenanigans it's a very good game and possibly my favorite from the PS5 library.
I tried a Captain Sparrow version of Rollerdrome. Found it a ton of fun. If the game bombs, it's yet again due to fucked up regional pricing and Russia being blocked.
Ive been holding out myself, as I wasnt about to pay 70 bucks for a game so awash in MTX - Sony nixed all regional pricing this generation, even on their physical games. I ended up waiting so long that I may as well wait a little longer and nab the PC version (when an appropriate deal comes along).
I was looking through my library and the amount of quality games that released in 2022!
The ones in green were games I've finished, in yellow games I started but I still haven't finished and in red are games I did not even started yet.

What a shame. I picked this up and I'm having a blast. It really is like THPS x Max Payne. I can tell it's very addicting. Too bad the publisher sucks.
I don't know, playing devil's advocate for a minute, let me remind you that Sable, a game with a sorta comparable art style, has a peak of 763 players (wtf, it feels very low). Maybe people just don't like this art style.
And to add insult to injury, it's a sport game, not the most loved genre with the geeks.
Now I could be wrong and there is a very bad factor in the equation, but this doesn't surprise me at first glance. Quasi no PR, too
Edit
And another unsurprising bomba, just received the Choice for 8$ offer.

It's not the worst 4x game on Steam but it's the worst 4x game Amplitude has put out. They've had a year of a few big patches and ended up just disabling one of the late-game mechanics (pollution) because they could not actually make it function in any way that didn't end the game in a few turns in an auto loss (including if the AI built pollution which was the main issue).
It's BETTER than it was, for sure, and I eventually will revisit it, but it's so, so disappointing - they had a really good premise and just clearly rushed it out the door way too early. I would still consider it to be in early access. and they have some pretty big system changes they're trying to figure out for the road ahead.
They also kept putting out time-limited challenges to unlock "avatars" in-game which the community UNIVERSALLY asked them to stop and they did it twice more before finally just... not doing that content at all instead of making it not time limited.
I know it's a smaller studio but it feels like their management needs to change, because people solved a lot of the balance problems with math in the forum and just got ignored by the team.
Edit: I will say, the victory conditions were never luck based or uncontrollable in my 3-4 games I finished. The "pollution" loss condition was an issue but that's removed by default, and in the initial release 99% of the time you were just going to win via tech no matter what you chose to do for the first 9/10 of the game because it was so stupendously fast once you got to the final age. That has been rebalanced but I'm not clear how much just from reading the notes.
Edit 2 because I forgot I was going to say this: All that said, I'd still play this again over Civ 5/6 because I have hundreds of hours in both those games and honestly don't feel like there's anything new to experience in them, but at least in Humankind I can goof around with different histories
Was playing Just King last night and i noticed this.
Small indie dev shouting out another indie dev's new game
always makes me smile.
The first standalone LCDs appeared in the mid-1990s
In 2003, TFT-LCDs outsold CRTs for the first time
You ! You did the same google search I did !
I guess it's as good a date as any other.. Will apply.
I can only speak for myself, but I think had my old CRT monitor until about 2010, and I think we originally bought it in 2005.
The whole mix'n'match your own culture stuff that was supposed to make the game stand out is completely vapid and shallow and pointless.
Taking that aside, it's literally just a less content rich, less deep version of CivVI. Almost all other mechanics are almost the exact same.
