Greenlight was almost universally hated by devs. It could be easily gamed by abusing your popularity or by simply using bots. It prevented actual indie devs from ever releasing finished games while a lot of greenlit games didn’t even release.
It’s been about 138h, but I actually finished Witcher 3 + all DLCs this week. I completed every single quest I came across, apart from the two ‘Collect all Gwent cards’ ones. It’s been quite a ride! I’d recommend the game for it’s characters, story telling and moral dilemmas. The gameplay was good too, although even on death march, it was quite easy - of course I was rich and somewhat overleveled from having done everything, so take that with a grain of salt. I finished at lvl 51 with the final quest being marked as lvl 49. Despite other claims, the Switch port was mostly good. Although, halfway through Blood and Wine, about 125h in, the game started to lag in fights with multiple opponents and never stopped doing so. I don’t know what happened, even the big bandit camps didn’t lag much before that.
Anyways, this weekend I’m going to start another run - this time doing a sign build! Last time I was focused on alchemy and basically only used Quen. There are so many gameplay options I never tried much and - nah, just kidding. I’m playing some Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, actually my first entry in the series, as a sort of palate cleanser and then grab a JRPG from my backlog.
It’s been so long since Odyssey and we’ve just had Totk, I’d guess another 3D Mario is likely their S2 ‘killer app’. Could be Legends Z-A or Metroid Prime 4 too, both of which would be cross generation. However, I’m not exactly dying to get my hands on any of these either way, especially not Pokemon.
Well, no, once a Monster Hunter game releases on the S2, my partner makes me buy one.
I could get something else, assuming cross play exists, but the only exclusives across all platforms I care about are games made by Monolith. So, at some point I’ll need the S2.
Hopefully, I won’t have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo’s launch titles usually aren’t anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.
Come to think of it, after several hundred hours, I don’t even know what ER’s Estus Flask is called. I had to look up their word for souls too, it just never stuck.
The top seems to be the same size, the old one just bulges more while the new one almost goes straight down.
As if they wouldn’t inject just as many ads once they have enough market share.
Das rettet ihn keineswegs, aber es ist das erste Mal, dass er menschlich auf mich wirkt.
I know multiple people who complain about every release and then buy it, preferably both versions. A few even complaint there’s no third edition to buy anymore.
If anything, GF could reduce their quality even more.
You needn’t look further than ‘Conservative Environmentalist’. Obviously, he has no clue what his party actually does.
I never questioned the effectiveness in terms of teaching the consumer. As I’ve said, I’m in favor of that and it’s great.
However, people tend to continue their consumtion despite better knowledge. At least I remember this being the case with cigarettes. So it does almost nothing for the general health of your population. As others already mentioned, plain labels, a ban on marketing and similar actions are probably far more effective.
While I’m in favor of adding a label, I don’t think it would change much of anything. If you’re really health conscious, you probably don’t drink already and most other people would presumably say stuff like “everything causes cancer these days” or “my grandfather drinks daily and look how healthy he is”.
If I remember correctly, even putting NSFW warning images on cigarettes didn’t do much.
I’ve tried it once and it was disgustingly sweet. I’m unsure if the praise is just a meme or it’s another entry on the long list of typical german food I don’t like despite living there.
I really like the visuals. With all the hands everywhere, it’s almost just anime Elden Ring.
However, the gameplay doesn’t look fun. It’s either a lot of button spamming - which I can’t play, because I get tendonitis rather easily - or one of these game that locks you into a 15 slash combo with a single button press.
I honestly don’t get it. I’ve been playing the same game for about three months of real time now and clocked in about 120 hours. I didn’t play anything else and and it’s consuming most of the time I have to myself. The game is Witcher 3.
Now, that means every 1000 hours would take me 25 months or just over two years of playing a game exclusively. Probably more since my data above includes my Christmas vacation, which was quite lengthy. No single game is good enough to take such a big place in my life. I could play so many shorter better games.
So, I’m on month four of Witcher 3 - but I’ve reached Blood & Wine and already did quite a bit of the side quests in February. This month I’ll likely start a JRPG.
My backlog has a few I’m really looking forward to: SMT V Vengeance, Octopath 2, Super Mario RPG, Baten Kaitos 1 & 2, Star Ocean 2 Remake and Metaphor. I’ll likely start with either Baten Kaitos or Metaphor, since I love anything related to SMT and anything made by Monolith. But feel free to recommend your favorite out of the bunch!
I think Vengeance is the least likely one. I love base SMT V so much, I’m probably saving it for my next vacation.
Never heard of it, looked it up and apparently it just came out on the 14th. That’s not even a full week till wednesday.
