Really seems like they're hell bent on ruining game pass some more.

These just build and no real goal type games are on the rise. Here is a house building one with retro graphics. Anybody else play this one?

In my mind, their actions speak louder than words, and this game is worth it.

Immediately what comes to mind for me is the The Someguy Series for Fallout New Vegas. It's a bundle of voiced quest mods that mesh well with the base game. There's also House of Horrors for Fallout New Vegas that I recall being pretty good. I played it probably about eight years ago so I don't recall much about it though.

I've also heard a lot of good things about Stardew Valley Expanded.

What about you? What's your favorite quest mod?

I'd also be curious to hear people's thoughts on content targeting a specific theme. For example mods that are good with horror or comedy. They might not fit in well with the base game but they can be fun.

The games and their results

Hades 2 - Result: No data loss.

Still Wakes The Deep - Result: Absolutely fuckaw.

Dread Delusion - Result: Getting very bored of entering my Windows password.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Result: Regret starting this pointless experiment.

Alien: Isolation - Result: Just glad this is over, to be honest.

I don't think this game is getting enough love. Fun clicker with an eye towards saving the planet. Give it a look!

Can't wait to see how much this will cost and how bad the microtrssctions will be.

Seems like it's going to be a hard wait and see for me.

Really good little horror game and great little developer.

“Right now even with 60 vigor you get one-shot by nearly every enemy that’s not pure fodder (like the classical wandering nobles in the base game),” Steam user ‘Flippikus’ writes. “And the Scadutree fragments that should make your damage and defense increase (exclusively while in the DLC) don’t help that much and are mostly locked behind bosses.”

The negative reviews, which also continually praise the world’s design and art direction, can’t handle some of the other choices, especially the boss fights. “Bosses in this DLC are exceptionally weak. While visually they are fantastic, their balance is totally off,” ‘Chanddy’ writes. “The combos they do are really annoying to learn [and] way too long – sometimes chaining up to ten different attacks before you get even a brief second opening to return damage.”

In terms of performance, players are upset that Shadow of the Erdtree is locked at 60 frames per second, with micro-stuttering and a lack of ultrawide or DLSS support as well. These things can be fixed or added down the line, but as of right now, it appears that the expansion isn’t incredibly well optimized.

So not only canceling the game but blindsiding their developers with layoffs too.

Kind of sad but at the same time I don't think I would trust Bethesda of today especially to properly remake it anyways.

Yay, more steam scam games...

I've had this game sitting in my library for years. I know it's regarded as one of the really good space games but I've never figured out what you're actually supposed to do or how to advance the gameplay.

I know how to get in my ship, fly my ship and shoot in the general direction of things but that's it. I've played the combat tutorial and have a customized keyboard control layout that I'm happy with.

Last time I gave it a try, it went like this. First, I landed on a space station and then walked all around looking for anything to do. I talked to an npc and found a store selling basic items like medkits and whatnot costing hundreds to thousands of credits. I didn't want to grind for pocket change trading medkits so I continued my search for anything else to do. After more searching, I found a second npc in an office that let me look at security camera footage but that's all I found.

So maybe all the stuff happens in space. So I got in my ship and flew around for a while. The travel mechanics make no sense. Switch to travel mode to go faster, I get it but theres additional mechanics involved. Why can I only go 287m/s in travel mode sometimes? Why does it randomly accelerate to several km/s sometimes and other times the ship accelerates slower than slow? So I look for salvage to steal. Nothing. Eventually I see a bunch of ships fighting so I go over there hoping for anything to happen at all. Boost stops working for some reason so it takes forever and then I get obliterated before getting a chance to shoot at anything.

What am I missing?

Well okay then.

Got to play a demo of this game. Rough start.

Saw a article on a large number of gamers being over 55 and then I saw this which I believe needs to be addressed in our current laws.

Played back in the beta. It is coming along.
