2 was ok. The plot was a bit weak and could have been improved. The lore was improved a bit with this extra content. Only replay value I got out of it was the evil ending versus the good.

I realize that it’s been addressed. I realize that it’s “in the sidebar” or the FAQ or whatever. I still think it’s total ass that Amazon Prime games are included in this forum as free.

I’ve seen the explanation, but it seems like Amazon prime is the only service I ever see getting announcements like this.

Edit: I mean, at this point, start an “Free” Amazon Prime forum.

While I agree entirely that they're not free per-se, if it weren't for them, there would be nearly nothing to post for anyone who doesn't want to use the Epic Games Store.

Lemmy communities are already at a disadvantage to subreddits in terms of attracting and retaining users, so I don't think fracturing communities further than they already are across instances is beneficial.

While I admittedly haven't tried using Arctic's regex filtering options yet, if other Lemmy clients have similar functionality, I would imagine a filter for any post that includes "[Prime/" or "[Prime]" in the title would automatically hide the posts without the need for community fragmentation.

Fun game, I really liked the third one

FYI if you have the URL in the link section rather than the description then I think it should generate a thumbnail for the post

Was confused why the link hadn't embedded properly; fixed the post, thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this.

I couldn't really get into BioShock 1, is this one more of the same or is the gameplay different?

In the second you get to play as a Big Daddy, so you get all of the ridiculous power and the arm drill. It's in the same enchanting setting as the first and the gameplay is a lot better but the storyline is lacking imo.

I'll give it a go, thanks
