Driving to tracks is 100% a chore. It's made me not enjoy any new racing game in the last 5 years. I really hope this game has an option to skip that and jump right into a race. I don't look forward to wrangling my family to drive to the same track just to start a race. I'm sure at least one of my kids would drive in the opposite direction because they think it's funny.

Thanks for your reply. My post was meant as kind of a joke, but it's good to know the mods actually read through things.

This isn't a shower thought. Mods, please remove.

I still don't use gog much. Last game I got there was free through Amazon prime, I think. It was Lego star wars episode 1, and while I usually really enjoy the Lego games, controller support was totally busted, so I ended up not giving it much time. 🙁

Having just played Veilguard and Origins back to back, that's a hard disagree from me. The voice acting in Veilguard was top notch. 🤷

I don't really see it being a sandbox. I mean, all answers are given, and you select from those choices. That's the same as other games that have pc vo. I feel like it would have made more sense to have no voice options at all, and to just get rid of the ridiculous quips. That way, you create your own voice in your head. In no universe would the character I created complain about having to put her hands onto everything before opening a door.

Anyway, not a big deal, but like I said, it was a bit jarring.

All the dragon Age games, really.

One thing I find jarring about BG3 is the lack of vo for the player character. It seems like a weird omission in this day and age. (Not counting the dumb 'I clicked here, so my player has to say something' vo. Like, shut the fuck up with your dumb chess references, Gale!)

I mean, that's just common sense

Specifically Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The sequel was a massive disappointment.

Solasta Crown of the Magister for $8.99.

For me it's the best game ever to capture the D&D feeling. The custom Warlock subclass, Timekeeper, is ridiculously fun.

People don't accept that, perhaps, something isn't just "not for them"

I think this is my favorite comment on this whole thread.

 

With recent big game releases, it's become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II is a ambitious masterpiece, and Avowed is lazy slop. 93% of Steam users recommend KCD2, vs 77% for Avowed.

And maybe this has been an issue for a long time, fed by the need to get viewer numbers on articles and videos, leading to more polarized opinions that give people a reason to pick a side, even if they're never going to play the game.

But as regular people, gamers, Lemmy posters, why are we doing the same? How is it serving us? Are we all influencers in waiting, hoping to up our updoot count and build a following of... dozens?

More than 2/3rds of players of Dragon Age Veilguard recommend the game on Steam. And yet reading the comments here and other places, you'd think that 90% of people who tried the game found it to be, not just bad, but absolute trash, with a small number of people chiming in that they actually enjoyed it.

And game studios are reacting much the same way, and are quick to start layoffs, or shut down all together.

But hey, we don't owe those corporations anything. But, as a community, do we owe it to each other to foster more honest correspondence?

 
 

I just noticed the pills changed a bit, and instead of a 20 printed on one side, it's now a 25. I called the pharmacist and they said that it was changed and they don't know why.

Much more worryingly, I seem to be experiencing increased side effects since I started taking it a few days ago.

I'm curious if anyone else is taking these pills, and if you're noticing anything different?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Honestly, I kind of hated this one. The bottom 2/3rds were fine, but doing the trees was no fun, and took forever.

 
 

This was fun and easy. My son helped with the green section
