Man, if only I could get into turn-based (strategy or not) games, I’m missing good stuff between this and BG3, but it never clicks with me 😞

Edit : to be fair, I know on the other side, some people who don’t like “action” games like Darktide or Space Marine are also missing good stuff

Just in case, 3 games in a 6 year span means a game every 3 years, not every 2 years

Ex: TW4 in 2027, TW5 in 2030, TW6 in 2033

They took 4 years between games for the first trilogy, while creating their own engine for TW2 and TW3

I don’t know about the last part (and why someone downvoted your comment), I feel like waiting too much between games only end up in disappointment, and different people working on the new one.

I’m pretty sure that a 30-hour Mass Effect 4 on Unreal Engine 3 and released in 2015 would have been better than Andromeda, and I have no hope for a future ME4 now.

I still trust CDPR, despite CP2077 marketing/PR release, and I don’t think they’ll follow the AC/CoD rhythm of one game every year (or even 2 years) for each franchise. With the right teams and management they could alternate between Cyberpunk (or a new IP after the second one) and The Witcher every 2 years

I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re doing

4 years between TW1, TW2 and TW3, and it’s been 10 years since TW3 (not counting expansions and CP2077)

And with Cyberpunk 2077, they made something different

I buy most co-op (“always online” like Darktide or Helldivers 2) games on Steam (, …) since they’re often not available on GOG

For single-player, I prefer to wait for it to be on GOG. Sometimes it’s on release, other times it takes a few months (Expedition 33) or years, but I have plenty enough backlog

Tanking with shields (force/kinetic shields in sci-fi games, not physical shields)

I liked when games let you face-tank damage with your shield (like in Mass Effect, before Andromeda where they made shields weak af and even removed shield gating) and not having to care for healing (unless you lose all your shields)

I don’t know if it’s due to the souls-like trend, but it feels like game developers need to make punitive games nowadays

Lawnchair comes close to Nova

Sadly the new version is bugged for me (and some other users since the bug was reported on their github): I can’t add widgets.

But you should try it, it’s on f-droid (or Playstore)

It’s resting since 2012, not peacefully though :/

They first zombified it in 2017 and now they’re poking its corpse every few years on the 7th of november

LucasArt’s Full Throttle ?

Bioware used to be able to make good AAA games quickly :

• Mass Effect : 2007
• Dragon Age : 2009
• ME2 : 2010
• DA2 : 2011
• ME3 : 2012

With epic soundtrack, voice acting, cinematography, …

Even an independant (back then) studio like CD Projekt “only” needed 4 years between each Witcher game (2007, 2011, 2015), while making their own engine for the 2nd and 3rd

I don’t know where the years get lost in game development nowadays, except pre-production (lack of direction/managment) and… “open world”

I was expecting an (action-oriented) RPG and it’s a stealth game instead 🫤 I’m gonna “wish-unlist” it 😞

Can’t wait to get in on GOG 🤞

Nintendo are toxic in general, not just IP, they’re even worse than Sony. Those 2 and Apple are brands that are an instant no-go for me.

Since the new release of Lawn Chair I have the bug (listed on Github issues) where I can’t add widgets, so I’m stuck with Neo Launcher for now

But I can’t wait to switch back

I tried KISS but unless I didn’t find how to, it didn’t have multiple home pages and widgets were limited. I also don’t like to type to find an app, it feels like too many inputs :/

I haven’t played this game (or the first one), but it feels like the kind of game (metroidvania) that would attract completionists (and speedrunners)

Sadly yes, I’ve seen so many people ruin their fun/appreciation of a game because they “needed” to 100% the game

Couch co-op:

• Castle Crushers
• Trine games
• Lego games

Online co-op:

• Warframe
• Sniper Elite games (always a good thing to prepare yourself to kill nazis)
• Vermintide / Darktide
• Helldivers 2
• zombie bashing games (Left4dead, Killing Floor, World War Z, …)
• Strange Brigade (action and puzzles)
• Torchlight 2 has a co-op mod if you like Diablo
• a bunch of shooters with campaign co-op (Borderlands, Gears Of War, …)

You should try Cyberpunk 2077, I liked the last 2 Deus Ex games (and the original one) but I prefer Cyberpunk 2077

Meh, I mean the gameplay is nice but Bioware hasn’t been able to write a good game for more than a decade, I don’t expect anything from them anymore

Anthem

(For history purpose, just like there are museums for the Holocaust or the WTC)

Isn’t the Louve pyramid already a reference to Tomb Raider ?

Except Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t even a bad product

But at least on PC you can install mods to make it even better

I will not disagree with that, but it’s painful when Bethesda games are enjoyed for the gameplay and not the RPG/narrative/quest elements

Well, I had fun with Anthem’s gameplay so I understand

i had more fun in starfield

Drone + shoulder-mounted gun, that’s “my dream come true”, the only missing feature would be jetpacks but I’m not gonna complain
