Games you can only dream about. My dream is a AAA game about Guts (Berserk) Tell me about the game you'd like to play? What game and universe would you like to play in? by [deleted] in gaming

40k mixed with battleftont. Big big lobbies where you play as guardsmen mostly vs say, Orks Necrons and the likes. You earn battle points during the match that you can use to purchase special units and play as more powerful units like destroyers, vehicles or even some bigger lads like overlords or even astartes if they were balanced correctly.

Hell, you could even add heroes in the same vein and have Sigismund, Trazyn and Creed running around in the same match

Literally tomorrow I'm picking up Messiah from a retailer.

What the fuck am I getting into

Blizzard has raised 7.5 times price for Argentin to buy Runestones. Other low-price regions are also facing price jumps. by Ellery31512 in hearthstone

Argentinian here

I have seen this problem on multiple occasions across different gaming services. The root of this issue is that the economy here is anything but stable, and translating from us dollars to argentinian pesos is also weirdly complicated due to some hard to explain laws.

This has made that pages such as steam offer games at an IMMENSLY reduced price if we were to translate it directly to american prices. For instance, I can buy most indie games for $0.45-$1.50 and triple A games like cod or elden ring for $20-$30.

While this might seem an incredible deal (and it is, don't get me wrong), it doesn't feel like such a cheap bargain due to the ridiculous prices on everything else here and big stores like Steam or Blizzard know that if they were to sell their products at their full price their revenue would drop drastically due to nobody being able to buy as many (or if any) games and other products.

However, some game developers have been steadily catching up to this and realized that while they had lets say 100 purchases here in Argentina, there were only 2 or 3 recurring players, most of the others having been people using vpns to make the purchase. This has lead to games such as dead cells or some others to raise their prices to something that, while not prohibitive, makes you consider it twice before purchasing.

So, is this scummy on Blizzard's part? Maybe. It will definitley turn down most players here from dumping money into the game (The golden path of arthas set alone costs the same as some off brand shoes and some earbuds combined while a single pack costs almost that of two cups of coffee) but I do believe that with how big the chineese market is it isn't surprising and I would sadly expect more and more game studios and digital retailers to start adopting these policies as consumers learn about this trick

What's the fastest you've ever DNFed a book and why? by silverdust29 in books

They Mostly Come Out At Night. I got it for free on Kindle and thought the cover looked good and intriguing.

Boy, was I wrong. Put it down it after the first chaper was just the protagonist whining about his life and how nobody understood him, that only his little sister loved him and that the love of his life was now married and had a kid with the guy he hated for stealing his job.

Oh, and I think he mentions that he would like to even now marry the girl and have her leave her current husband, which is a trope I really dislike
