It's beyond insane to me that a $70 "AAAA" game (kidding, it's AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I've never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 "collection" if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

Just fyi, Ludeon Studios changed their stance on sales some time ago, in fact it's on sale right now! Never more than a 20% discount though. Factorio however has still never been on sale. But your point still stands

Both are pennies on the hour investments though. Factorio Space Age has drawn me back in like the OG did years ago.

No. Don't. Don't tell me this, don't do it to me, I'm trying to complete Satisfactory playthrough

But he right tho… the basics have been cleaned up a bit so the early game isn’t as slow, and every planet actually made me feel like new again

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

On the contrary, IME they significantly slowed down the early game, but they removed the early-mid-game dip right after you unlock fluids and oil processing

Yeah the green to blue transition seemed like a smaller hurdle than I remembered.

Yeah I'm trying to convince myself to give space age a try, but damn I know it won't be good for me.

Bruh... :(

I just bought Biotech and Anamoly for regular price like 2 weeks ago. I hate not being able to predict the future. This way of perceiving time sucks ass.

Never buy games prior to a holiday, there's always a sale coming up that might save you some money.

I hate you not being able to tell me the future too. I need those damn lotto numbers!!!
