Srsly?

GAWD. That is a sad sobering thought for such a fun, odd, colorful, wild fever dream of a game.

After everything that’s come out about their work culture and the naked cash grab micro transactions games they are making now, I’m sorta baffled by those still buying Blizz.

Malibu Stacy can’t stand up, her face is mush and the arms aren’t attached, but this time she has a new hat!

Of course you don’t sell add-ons to a broken toy? Weird that you were even selling it in their first place. I wish companies wouldnt stick so hard to release dates

It’s honestly sad. The whales are just a different form of gambling addicts, the wasted money isn’t even a factor for some people.

True, but will also prevent you from getting any other updates or bug fixes. This is such a scummy action for Ubi to do, I wouldn’t it put it past em to pair this with some sort of game bricking… “glitch” that needs a patch.

True! And here is hoping the list should gets bigger.

Well that makes sense. The switch is a less powerful platform, an intentional trade off for the mobility. And at this point, it’s on the older side. Either accept the trade off so you can play on an airplane or buy a more powerful modern device like a steam deck.

Well that one made me snicker lol. Maybe I am being too harsh. Idk, I used to read PA daily when I was in high school but at this point a few decades later, it’s just something that I’ve grown out of so it seems pretty juvenile in retrospect.

This might be more of a “me” thing instead of “penny arcade” thing. 🤷

Oh yikes. I mean I agree that the first panel is solid but the other two reminded me why I stopped reading PA. So often the “punch line” is just edgelord violence or insults.

Reminds me of the Hbomberguy video that really dissects “gamer comics”.

Those free versions only exist because of the OGL, which WotC wanted to rein in. In part because of their own VTT being in development. This was also before WotC changed how they sold their books, now they are slanted to being part of a Beyond membership. While 3rd party seller still have a supply of books, the WotC main website is now only selling physical books as a bundle with a digital one for an up charge. Wizards is changing and is very much transitioning to prioritize their digital goods.

I mean this isn’t just a wild conspiracy theroy, Wizards themselves said as much during an investor meeting.

I would too, but I get the feeling WotC might not allow that. They are hard core pushing their digital tabletop replacement with D&D beyond. A custom baulders for a flat fee would seriously eat in to their subscription model profits.

Which I’m all for! I’d definitely play custom BG campgains but I have no interest in paying $10 bucks a month for a Skype game or whatever.

Consoles are expensive. Cutting off support to older equipment is rough. Keeping your entertainment “current” is a big ask for a lot of people who are already struggling. As long as people are using the old stuff, devs should do what they can inside the technical limits to extend their lifespan.

The game is more of a short story. Which means the gameplay is intentionally grinding because the job is grinding. Which honestly IS bad gameplay, but delivers the message it’s going for. If reading depressing alt history dystopia is not how you want to spend your time, then I don’t blame you one little inch. ♥

Yayay! The game has run smoothly, mostly. But every few hours my GF and I restart our LAN to fix some stuttering. Also had some FPS issues with super large battles, but the game is SO DANG GUD that we don’t even consider those speedbumps. Easily the best triple A in a long while.

Yesssss! You are very much in my wavelength, I have played a ton of kingdoms! Super clever game, I never thought side scrolling city builder would be a thing… But there it is! Great background game, another good suggestion.

We as a community should hold ourselves to a higher spoiler standard than the marketing teams.

While I know that sounds like a reach at first, consider other media. Movie trailers tend to give a lot away, but that isn’t within the control of the directors. It’s done by the studios who are trying to generate as many eyeballs and clicks. Not deliver a complete narrative experince.

I have had the bear bit spoiled for me as well, would have rather seen it blind in game. But oh well, however I don’t think that should preclude folk from discussing reviews, mocap and how unusual of a production cycle this game has had. Discussing the game itself doesn’t require specfic story points. Much like discussing the Barbie movie set production require details on plot.

Oooh, that looks interesting as heck! Really good suggestion. Thanks! ♥ 💕

My ADHD prevents me from focusing on just one thing. Does anyone have a good game to play in tandem of watching a movie or show? Ideally something turn based or strategic, but not something complicated enough to require undivided attention.

Slay the spire and crafting in MMOs has been my go to lately, but I’d love something tower defensey.
