It's basically a $30 tech demo to show off their new engine. they will use in Arma 4. They said it's a steppingstone. I bought it and requested a refund because there isn't much to do.
When they put it on Steam as early access, they meant it. It's very early access.

Thanks for that, I bought the standard edition of ESO. I'll get around to it at some point but quite a steal for that price.

It's not as bad as it used to be, I tend to like it more when I have some friends playing so we can do the dungeons and anchors. There's some pretty solid builds out, I currently main a Nord dragonknight with sword/shield.

Question out of nowhere, but; anybody remember Neopets? I know the game is practically dead these days, but what happened to it? I heard a while back that the devs started bending the knee to the LGBQT+ community, but that was several years ago; anyone have any more recent info on them?

It got bought out by Mormons who just did nothing with it, more or less. I've never played it myself as I have testicles but I've seen some videos about it.

Unpopular opinion; I like Skyrim. Granted, I am very easy to please.

Played that game quite a bit when I was a kid; don't really have as strong of an attachment to it these days, but it still sucks to see a favorite from my childhood fall like this.

It honestly baffles me how enjoying mediocre games is somehow a bad thing now. What the fuck happened to video games where having a very okay game is literally the next gamer genocide? Is it because of "influencers", is it because of nostalgia? Am I just retarded and making this up in my head?
I understand that being critical is a good thing, but I feel like that people sometimes just need to relax and enjoy things. It's like how people shit on popcorn movies or whatever they're called for "bringing down the art form."

People act like a 6-7/10 is a "bad game", i always thought that meant an average game that the majority of people like (hence the 6-7/10), not every game has to be GOTY tier shit. I swear a lot of people just parrot what their favorite youtubers say. leading to some games getting too much unwarranted hate, or leading to circlejerks (IE Fallout New Vegas or any Fromsoftware game), while a review may tell me some basics info about the game, I rather play it and make my own assessment. I wonder if people that either hate/circlejerk certain games have actually played them.

The other deal about mediocre games, is that people (I think), tend to lump them with in the same group as actual terrible games. Some people made comparisons with Gran Turismo 7, with Battlefield 2042, which doesn't really make sense, since GT7 is only mediocre or okay at best, as it does have parts that work well, but is dragged down by the excessive microtransaction pushes, and lack of innovation compared to past GT games and other racing games in general. Whereas BF2042 is a complete mess that can only be fixed by just dropping the game outright, and start over again, and make an actual Battlefield game.
It's as if those people that do that, took Alex Navarro's quote about bad games, "...under no circumstances should you ever buy these games. Sure they might make a cute gag gift or something, but all you're doing is encouraging the makers of the dreck and taking away years off of my life.", too seriously.

JFC, I need to vent.
I recently started playing Children of a Dead Earth and it's pretty neat. The combat across orbital distances is really cool and playing a hard sci-fi strategy fleet commander type game is a lot of fun.
But holy fucking shit, I want to take the guy who made the menuever node UI and smash his fingers with a hammer.
That garbage is hardly usable and 90% of the time, the mission isn't you trying to figure out the smartest solution, it's you fighting this worthless piece of shit UI. More often that not, mere bruteforcing worked better than trying to play smart. The automatic intercept function is a cruel joke, cause it'll constantly mock you with an intercept and then tell you it'll be a 50km/s burn, cause it seems to deliberately take the most asinine, idiotic and assbackwards orbit imaginable.
For fuck's sake, if this game had KSP's UI, none of this would be the smallest fucking issue. In KSP, it's a piece of cake to make a set of maneuver nodes that'll lead you from a Duna orbit to docking with a station orbiting retrograde around the Mun, in CoaDE, a mere Hohman-transfer to intersect a tilted orbit is a fucking chore.

Anyone remember the must have game culture that was common in mid to late 2000's and even early 2010's? People would line up outside of GameStops, Best Buys and any place that sold games trying to get a copy of the latest new release. Usually, it was a Call of Duty game. This was about the time preordering became a big thing and later on those preorder bonuses. Remember the deluxe editions? You would get some type of figure a key chain artbook and some other crap and it was usually well over $100. I didn't have a PS3 360 or even a PC capable of playing modern games at the time, but I was watching the videos of the lines outside stores and the unboxings of the "deluxe editions" on YouTube. It was crazy back then. I watched a video on YouTube made by a guy who would buy those old deluxe editions off ebay and he said they aren't worth as much as the people paid for them now. He said some of them can be pretty cheap on ebay.
The last game I went out to get on release at a physical store was GTA Vice City. I had no problems finding it at a local small business game store I would go to. The whole preordering thing always seemed weird to me. That didn't start till the PS3 and 360. Back when the PS2, Xbox and GC were still going people never talked about preorders.
Thinking back on it the store I bought Vice City in doesn't even exist anymore and the mall isn't around anymore either. It's kind of depressing.

I can understand that time, buying it over the internet (for console games) was usually not an option for PS3/360 games and the big midnight releases could be fun. It was a stupid event filled with hype and hype + stupid is fun! Sometimes, at some places, they added in free swag as well (if it was the location the publisher was backing).
And in an era of physical formats they could run out of games but the only time it was very important to pre-order was for imports. Getting RE4 a day after the NA release in Europe meant that the shop paid for turbo express shipping and only had a box with 20 copies on hand.
It's like movies, some movies I really enjoy might have a 6.3 on IMDB but that just means it's not for everyone. The score might not mean it's a good movie, it could be crappy, lackluster and mediocre, but it's not necessarily a bad movie, it might just lack mass appeal or deal with something many people aren't interested in. Same thing with games.

Skyrim is unironically better than Oblivion. I have no clue how people think Oblivion is a good game, especially since I distinctly remember a time during the late 2000s when it was considered a half-assed Morrowind for normies.
Bethesda certainly milked the shit out of Skyrim to an insane extent but it's still an improvement over IV in many ways.
