His results showed that the longer a game stayed in early access, the weaker its full-release sales tended to be.

I mean, this seems kinda inevitable, no? The longer you’re in early access, the larger the portion of your target audience has likely already bought your game.

That would depend entirely on the game. For example, the game Cassette Beasts has multiple DLC. One adds a small amount of actual new content to the game, and the rest are all cosmetic outfits for your characters. None of these cosmetic DLC are worth buying unless you really like the base game and want to support the developers. Then there’s games like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, where each of the DLC is a massive expansion to the base game, with the DLC having more content than the base game does at this point and are highly worth getting.

As far as Trails in the Sky is concerned, I know some of its DLC is cosmetic stuff and a lot of it gives you packs of in-game consumables. Doesn’t seem incredibly useful to me, but idk much about the game so I could be wrong.

Deluxe editions for games usually come bundled with DLC for a cheaper price than buying them and the game individually. Take older Call of Duty games for example, where buying the game and each DLC would cost a total of $120, but the deluxe edition with the same content would only cost you $100. So if you knew you were going to end up buying all four DLC, getting the deluxe edition was much cheaper.

In this particular game, I don’t know exactly what will end up in the deluxe edition but there’s already $72 worth of DLC so I imagine a lot of it is going to be included.

Oh hell yeah, I love survivor-likes and this one’s aesthetic is amazing. I can’t wait to add it to my never-ending backlog when it comes out!

Hmm, that actually sounds right up my alley. I’ll have to try it out!

I’ve heard of it vaguely just because I played a bit of limbus company (and liked the characters more than the gameplay tbh). How’s lobotomy compared to limbus? Is the gameplay similar at all?

Nah, 2 was the series peak.

More sandbox games need to have functional multi-block ships/airships. It’s such a cool idea. I’m adding this one to my wishlist.

It’s worth adding that you can disable this filter permanently. It’s not a thing you temporarily disable while you’re on a specific game’s store page; if you disable it, it disables it for every game until you turn it back on. So that’s nice.

Tbh I very rarely see anyone mention cryptocurrency. I guess if it’s brought up I’ll see someone complain about it, but it’s almost never brought up in the first place. Especially compared to AI which is talked about as often as politics.

I’m playing split-screen Halo MCC with my brother. I’ve only got a 27" monitor to play on, so cutting the screen in half makes it very small and really brings back some of the nostalgia of playing the game back on the original xbox with a tiny little box tv lol.

With a mixture of the AlphaRing mod and an edit to the settings.json file for EasyAntiCheat, I’m still able to get achievements despite using a mod which is nice. We’re currently playing through Halo 2 on Legendary, which is less nice. Sniper Jackals are the bane of our existence.

Halo 4 honestly wasn’t that bad. They did also release the Master Chief Collection which was amazing for PC gamers.

They announced the DLC a bit over a year ago now, but it came completely out of nowhere when they did. There was the occasional small bug fix every few years, but the game hadn’t seen a real update in a long time.

Sick, I can’t wait to replay Castle Crashers with the boys, featuring Hatsune Miku, the Lethal Company employee, Jesus Christ himself, and a bottle of ranch.

It was pretty bad for a long time, but once they started letting users make their own hats and body models and shit, it got absurd. At least the games are usually just ripoffs, but the user-made catalog is just full of straight up model rips. I don’t understand how they’re not getting sued to oblivion for openly making money off of copyrighted material like that.

Meanwhile games like Marvel Rivals are doing great.

Conclusion: People are only interested in live-service games and we’re not pumping out our slop fast enough!

Halo 3 is the only Halo game who’s campaign I have never beaten other than Infinite, which I haven’t touched and probably never will. I was working on fixing that, deciding to play through each Halo game in order of release on legendary, but I got side tracked. I had planned to first beat the whole Mass Effect trilogy on insanity before returning to Halo, as I’ve only every played the first game, but then I got side tracked again. Now I’m playing Kenshi. It’s no wonder I never finish any game series… I always have the desire to restart from the beginning of a series each time, but have an attention span this small.

I hope you’re happy.

I hope they can make it work, but honestly I don’t see how. The two games share very little similarities outside of being blocky survival games, and even then the focus on their respective genres are completely different. With VS being a gritty realistic survival game with very few fantasy elements at all, and Hytale being a fantasy RPG with some survival elements.

It’d be like Project Zomboid coming out and saying they’re going to work on a fantasy gamemode where instead of zombies and guns, you have goblins and dragons and magic and shit. Sure, why not, but at this point you have to change so much about your game’s identity that you’re going to end up making a completely different game inside of your game rather than just a separate gamemode.
