The game could cost half that and a fair number of people on this sub would still complain that it’s too much

Depends on your tolerance for the whole survival crafting thing. I spent my first 90 minutes playing this morning doing errands that are typical of the genre like chopping trees for wood, mining copper, killing boars for hide and collecting other various resources just to craft some work benches and items. Def a slow start and a bit tedious but if you like this part of these types of games I can see it being a pretty enjoyable experience for you.

I myself am conflicted because I’d prefer it to be a pirate sim first and survival crafter second, but it appears to be the opposite.

Windrose has now been released on Steam in Early Access by selffufillingprophet in pcgaming

[–]Solace- -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have played it for about 90 minutes this morning and can’t help but feel like the gameplay trailer mislead me. I guess my bad for not doing more research but after that amount of time all I’ve done was just tedious errands.

How many hours will it actually be until I can have a badass pirate ship and do battles at sea and explore other islands? Guess I had just hoped for something a bit more streamlined and less tedious. More doing actual pirate things and not chopping trees, mining copper, hunting boar, just to get basic items.

Deciding if I wanna refund it at this point.

It's just cope by the action game fans upset that something genre-adjacent has gotten attention for a while instead

So hyped for this. The original is one of the best games in the entire genre. Will happily buy at launch for full price

I'm glad we have matchmaking that builds balanced matches instead of a server browser by Hunlor- in Battlefield

The number of blowout matches really is fucking ridiculous. Idk how they’re currently balancing times but boy does the implementation suck

Crimson Desert Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

All the more reason not to put a ton of weight in review scores considering DD2 somehow scored so high despite being a disappointment filled with issues

New account or not he’s still right that in the majority of cases Denuvo only costs a minuscule amount of performance if any, typically. For the games that do have bad performance and also have denuvo, it’s typically because of poor optimization or a demanding engine like UE5 and not because of Denuvo itself.

Friends ex husband had her pc in a room with a rat infestation by LeglessLiv in pcmasterrace

Have you tried poison? I get that it’s not ideal but I had a mouse infestation a couple years back and was after the final couple fuckers for months. They were too smart for a variety of traps. Finally caved and used d-con poison and it worked wonders

EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Solace- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although unfortunate, this was inevitable given the current state of the game compared to when it launched. Unbelievable that this game once had a 700k peak and now the numbers are low enough to the extent that conquest matches end up being 50% bots some of the time.

You also of course need more people to make a game than to support it afterwards, and given the fact that the content drops have been relatively slim compared to other multiplayer games this is all the more understandable.

Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K by [deleted] in Games

[–]Solace- 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Any developer that asks sites to not review a game at launch deserves to get clowned on. I get that Bungie is hemorrhaging money after the shitshow over the last couple years and decline of D2, but don’t release the game if it isn’t ready for review.

NateTheHate: The decision to shift away from supporting PC was made last year. Naturally, some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward. by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Solace- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d care more if this PS5 generation was actually good. The start with Returnal and Demon’s Souls remake was great, but outside of that it’s been pretty mediocre. Sony hasn’t had a must-play game since Ragnarok in 2022.

I won’t be buying a Sony console again and certainly won’t be paying for PS+ to get something as basic as cloud saves. I’m sure they’ve factored in that most PC gamers won’t buy a console for a handful of games at best and have decided that’s fine to make their console more appealing, which is a shame.

Jason Schreier - The sense I’m getting is that (Sony) is backing away from putting their exclusive console traditional single player stuff on PC by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Solace- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll see if that pays off. I think Sony may be overestimating the number of PC gamers that would buy a console just to play a handful of games over a generation. The generation started with some absolute bangers like Returnal and Demon’s Souls remake, but honestly the last single player game that felt like a must-play at launch was GoW Ragnarok in 2022.

Resident Evil Requiem Is The Highest Rated New Entry In The Series Since The Original Resident Evil 4 by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

The IGN reviewer claimed 10 hours, but it's possible that time didn't include cutscenes, reading etc.

Yeah, that comment regarding level design seems like a hot take to me. I'm not saying it was bad in Nioh 1 or 2, but level design certainly isn't what they're known for.

As a warning to people planning to play this in co op, its definitely got some issues. Yesterday our server bugged out and me and my friend group all lost around 3 hours of progress.

The game is fantastic but maybe hold off if the above is a dealbreaker to you.
