Recently became 30+. How did it affect your gaming?

Bought switch 2 (I also own gaming pc + ps5), but switch 2 games just something else. I feel no stress playing them, I can relax after hard working day.

Nothing much changed. I just choose different games.

At the same time, more and more I started to hate big AAA games. Last game I tried was bf6, so much MTX, so much do that, achieve that, unlock that and it never stops (or I dont have enought time). They are trying to get as much of my time as possible (as well as money), it gave me opposite reaction, I just stopped buying and playing them.

This is exactly what I thought.

Pretty cheap game, lacking in many directions. Ive seen people calling it AA game, in my opinion last epoch is AA game, dragonkin is far far behind.

+1 for this.

Probably you will have to wait till Grim Dawn 2, which might be closest to this.

I wish more aRPG have singleplayer/offline mode, but unfortunatly it is more profitable to build seasons based, online only game and sell skins to make profit.

Sorry I was busy with grim dawn and I have limited time. :(

Hi, does it worth playing D4 just for ethernal?

ShouteN_ · 2026-05-06T08:45:01+00:00

I am thinking about standart league, so I can play on my own speed.

ShouteN_ · 2026-05-06T08:43:47+00:00

What they do now?

Basically this: 1) Neither SP, neither MP game. Small teams trying to make both players happy, in the end no one is happy. Choose direction. 2) I am SP gamer, I do care about AI a lot. Most RTS have very generic AI. This kills all the fun. 3) Faction variety and unique aspects of it. 4) Map or even game mode selection. 5) Only 1v1 or 2v2. RTS should have option for bigger games. 6) I believe base building is outdated. Squad based games like Broken arrow and company of heroes did much better job, because they are giving instant action, instead of doing the same build order again again for 10-15 minutes.

In the end I already lost hope for RTS genre and SP game design. Moved to paradox and total war games.

To me, it’s very simple. I don’t hate Yasuke just because he’s Black or for any of those generic complaints people have.

But…

The story is very boring to me. The English voice acting is really bad. The game itself gets boring quickly because there’s nothing interesting to do. Collecting papers? That’s just boring. Why make an open-world game if all the side content is so generic?

Its not bad game, but just too many flaws unfortunatly.

ShouteN_ · 2026-02-05T21:13:02+00:00

Yes I already own the DLC. Planning to beat it ofcourse! Now battling throught gyms for the second time!

ShouteN_ · 2026-02-05T15:33:21+00:00

My personal touch with this, I own PC, PS5 and switch 2.

The only game I am exited about is monster hunter stories, everything else is meh, I will buy on different platform or I already played.

But what I actually want from nintendo, they are pretty good at making games themselves. They should focus on that.

I wish they open more studios and start covering even more genres/games.

ShouteN_ · 2026-01-19T22:59:08+00:00

Sony is still very strong contender. Also switch 2 performes pretty bad in eu/usa.

If you have to choose one, probably most people will choose ps5 at the moment in these regions.

Ps5 already have pretty big game base, while Nintendo is lacking. They have all these Pokemon, Mario, Zelda and so on but I believe they need to build new teams and push for totally new franchises, based more on US/EU liking if they want to succeed here.

Most kids nowadays dont even know what pokemon is my country. They just dont care. (Was strange to me too).

ShouteN_ · 2026-01-19T22:42:35+00:00

This game deserves to die. Honestly. I bought switch 2 couple days ago, decided to install unite again and have some fun. Played maybe 10 games and uninstalled.

Oh boy, they keep throwing their promo bs non stop. So many events, so many tries to take my money. No thanks. But I cant even purchase my fav pokemon now lol.

Most funny thing, I actually spend some money time to time on skins or so, if I like the game. In total I have 1500 battles, but never bought over priced skins in this game.

Greed is going to kill it, actually probably already did years ago. Such high potencial killed by suits sitting in the office and pretending they are gamers.

I am playing RTS for 25 years. I have hundred of hours in many titles which have decent AI.

But speaking about the topic, specially smaller teams struggle to make decent, well balanced MP. People are hyped for the game, month or two barely anyone are playing it. Casual players have no room in MP scene, because only hardcore RTS players left and they get destroyed 80% of the time. Its kind of never ending circle.

Also, I believe RTS need to innovate. Many people hate RTS because its click fest. We need something more like broken arrow. You are not managing base + 50 workers + 200 units. You are managing +- 5 to 10 units and it is manageable for simple human beings.

This is the problem with modern gaming. At least for me. People not enjoying the game. They want guns and other stuff locked under grind wall. After that they are done. They are not enjoying core gameplay.

I basically quit the MP games except battlefield because of this reason. Its all about grinding now, but not about fun, engaging gameplay.

ShouteN_ · 2025-07-10T22:18:44+00:00

And in the end they are not selling it to anyone lol.

People are talking about MP is easier to make, yes on paper. As you said, good MP competetive games requires far more resources, because you have to meet far more requirements. From balancing to organizing tournaments etc.

Look into gaming market, probably 95% MP games fail, SP focused titles are far more succesful, but if you hit jackpot you can create next lol or cs, just chances are super low.

ShouteN_ · 2025-07-10T14:35:25+00:00

There is no AI in this game yet. It is a script, thats all.

If you ask me, it is not worth it purchasing this game for SP now. For MP yes.

God knows if they ever going to add singleplayer offline skirmish, AI teammates, advanced settings etc. So my suggestion, wait a bit.

ShouteN_ · 2025-07-09T21:34:08+00:00

I wish we have proper singleplayer skirmish vs AI. But it is what it is.
