Yeah, but that’s a bizarre decision. What’s the point of grinding combat if none of it carries over to the rest of the game? What’s the point in going back to the starter area to grind again?
I played it for 90 minutes now and I think it’s OK. It feels like an MMO that came out 20 years ago, whether that’s good or bad depends on you. Lots of grinding, running back and forth, and doing fetch quests.
Some parts of the game are really nice, I love how streamlined everything is and how the map tells you exactly which resources can be found where. The game overall is very, very polished for a smaller indie MMO. That said, it feels overly simple and grindy. The first quest literally starts by telling you to come back when you’re level 60, which is insane. The map is also very limited and not really open world, it’s like a bunch of interconnected rooms.
The worst part is one I didn’t even face yet, but everybody is saying that your character resets upon entering a new zone. That means all your skills reset back to level 1 and you don’t carry over any armor or weapons or anything like that upon finishing one section of the game. The entire game is episodic, so you could grind a hundred levels in combat only to walk into episode 2 and start all over. That sounds bizarre to me. Not sure if I’ll play any further.

I completely missed the fact that it’s out, thanks for the reminder
I’m for making a megathread for people who really want to talk about it here but I genuinely don’t understand why you’re upset you can’t talk about US politics everywhere in the platform. There are tons of communities for that. AskLemmy is for
open-ended, thought provoking questions
Instead, most US related posts are for venting and complaining. See these communities instead:
And dozens of similar communities on other instances. It’s not censorship to ask you to go to use the proper channels, not everyone here wants to see US news everywhere.

It doesn’t hurt to download parts of the archive on your machine if you want to be extra sure, but keep in mind the internet archive is massive with petabytes of data.
Thank you! There are definitely a lot of politics communities on Lemmy, so I’m a huge fan of not having them leak into casual communities like this.

Have you tried running it with Repentogon? It optimized mod performance and has an options menu to adjust performance settings.
You’re missing out, Repentance is amazing. They’re all on sale right now for the 10th anniversary so it’s a good time to get them.
The modding community really is insane. There are a couple of fan-made expansions like Fiend Folio that massively overhaul everything. I hope this update tries not to break mod support.
I remember playing it on release… Feels like a lifetime ago. Usually it’d feel like less but 10 years checks out for me here.
They both have very similar average scores though.
462k are the people that have created an account, Lemmy actually has ~40k active users (and even then “active” just means they logged in once this month). I do share the sentiment that not everything has to be super popular but Lemmy really could use more people.
I watched some videos for the game and I’m genuinely baffled by how bad the writing in this game is. The rest of the game looks fine but most of the dialogue really is Forespoken territory. I think SkillUp put it best when he said “It’s written like the HR is in the room”
The time and effort people put into these games never ceases to amaze me. This looks very impressive.
I remember the series on Newgrounds, it’s a fun time.
RIP Edd. Gone way too soon.
Star Citizen is a game that exists, so sure, maybe “scam” isn’t the right word for it, but they’re still insanely sketchy. They constantly make promises they never meet, constantly beg the community for more funding when they already have an outrageous amount of funding, add insanely overpriced microtransactions to try to profit off whales, etc…
SC is driven by hype and nothing else. So many years later it still runs like ass and is very barebones, there’s a giant question mark on where all that money went and how the project is being handled. No Man’s Sky had a fraction of the budget and size and they managed to do so much more.
At best it’s the worst managed video game project of all time.
That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people’s problems when transitioning to ARM though.
