It was over a long time ago for me when I realized that most AAA games were all the same. Might as well wait until they're $20 anyway.

There are decades worth of great games already out. People should be open to trying out older games, even if it means slight hurdles in downloading compatibility mods or patches.

Patient gaming is the best - the bugs have (mostly) been fixed, DLC is available, and when you get stuck on something chances are there’s info online about it

Hell yeah, I'm waiting for the first sale of Diablo 4 on the console. (cross fingers it's this coming holiday)

Ooo nice nice, though I've heard the microtransactions are awful (gotta love Blizzard, eh?)

[–] Liempong_pagong@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I saw that too. But if not buying into microtransactions will not hinder me from finishing the campaign and also affect my endgame, then I'll just ignore it. I hope it's all cosmetics,

It was over a long time ago for me when I realized that most AAA games were all the same.

Do people actually believe this or is just one of those cliches that people repeat when they don't have anything meaningful to contribute?

I'm curious how many similarities there are between games like Diablo IV, Street Fighter 6 and Starfield? I could make the list bigger but figure that's a good starting point.
