Amazon is dead. All the products are cheap, questionably-manufactured crap.

Amazing game. Perfectly executed. This is an excellent detail and a testament to the care that went into this game.

Ugh. Why can’t porn games get their own platform so I can look for a fucking game to play without having literal porn shoved in my face. What kinds of losers actually buy these “games”? Smh my head.

Also revanced

Commercials weren’t the only example I listed.

I consume as much media as anyone, a lot of gaming content, and I don’t recall seeing a single WoW ad in years, not on websites, youtube, or streaming, Maybe you see those ads because you play WoW or other mmos. I haven’t heard any streamers talking about it, no articles or memes outside of dedicated communities.

I’m not saying those things dont exist. I’m just saying, as a general consumer of gaming media, it really doesn’t come up nearly as often as it used to. It’s more niche now, less mainstream. Which, unfortunately, means the player base is less dynamic.

Just because people still log in to grind dailies and world quests doesn’t mean the game has the same presence in pop culture it used to. I remember seeing commercials with Ozzy for wotlk, people would talk about the game, you’d see references to it, there was a south park episode about it. It’s just not that relevant or popular anymore.

Fair enough. But I dont know if I’d compare it to a resurrected corpse. The gang is mostly intact, they’re still trying to make a good show, it’s just not fueled by the same fresh, youthful inspiration it once was.

I’d say “not quite.”

(Slight spoilers ahead)

The A plot involves NFTs which was pretty lame.

But the B plot involved Bender returning to Mexico and reconnecting with his roots, which wasn’t bad, mainly because it didn’t depend on pop culture references. Danny Trejo was pretty good as a guest star.

(Spoiler end)

I think the reason the pop culture references seem so tired now is because our lives are filled with people making fun of pop culture on social media/the internet. All the NFT jokes have been made already, like a year ago. The writers need to stick to original, engaging plots that don’t rely on criticizing pop culture or rehashing old plotlines.

Are you sure its not a Fowler’s Toad? You gotta count those warts per spot, bro.

They were too busy ruining the game by turning it into a repetitive grindfest.

I just want to be able to pause the game when playing solo.

Is garrysmod.org still a thing?

Only someone with zero context would try to claim that. You must be completely unfamiliar with paradox games.

“A bit pricey”

My dude stellaris+all DLC is $350!

Furthermore, “releasing a new stellaris every few years” is not the only alternative. Look at all the games that exist that have regular free content updates.

Paradox needs to do better.

I think we need to admit that paradox is a shitty greedy company that cares more about selling a million DLCs than they do about making a quality product.

Paradox’s business practices have always been greedy and over monetized. Not sure why anyone is surprised their latest product sucks.

No, the devs are being intentionally dishonest by pretending what was once the full game can still be considered as such. They have created so much more content for the game, you can no longer reasonably define the “base game” as the “full experience”. At this moment, if a person wanted to play rimworld in its entire and complete form, it would cost them over $100. There are no bundle deals, the game barely ever goes on sale, the devs are clearly trying to maximize profit, an action which would be met with judgement and criticism in any other circumstance, as it should.

A small demo portion of the game is $35, which is absurd in and of itself. The full game is now over $100. In no world is that considered a “low cost”, especially not for the caliber of game being offered.

Also I’m not even going to bother responding to your sad false dichotomy.

And they’re still gonna charge $130 for the full game.

Hot take alert: Wow another $30 dlc for a game that never goes on sale. How much are they charging for rimworld now? Oh yeah, $100, not including the new dlc, so let’s say $130 for an indie game with rampant balance issues and lazy graphics that were stolen from prison architect in the first place.

Dont get me wrong, the game can be really enjoyable at times. But the devs need a reality check. For the price they’re charging they need to offer way more.

Maybe, but reddit also bans anyone who isn’t a bot.
