It was “enjoy the ride” for me. One of my favourite songs of all time and the only Morcheeba song I listen to.

Hmmm… Not discovered in that order, but Satyricon’s Phoenix . I love their stuff, really… but phoenix is unlike anything they’ve done and it’s actually unlike most other stuff that I could find… those blast beats comboed with Sivert’s vocals are just… There’s things that come close but nothing quite gets there… it’s so powerful and chill at the same time… Like being inside during a blizzard or something, I dunno.

A bit more on topic, however, I’ve recently discovered Måneskin’s The loneliest and I’ve really enjoyed it. Went to listen to some of their other stuff and I was quite disappointed. Have only listened to like a dozen songs so maybe there’s more stuff to my liking in there… I’ll say that my wife really enjoyed Coraline … and while I didn’t like it that much (especially the chorus seems kinda silly and ruins the vibe for me)… when I looked up the lyrics… damn. Powerful stuff. Props to the guy.

Then I dunno. I can see it on voyager, can’t on boost. Might be a coincidence and we’re dealing with different issues. Especially since last I checked the site didn’t have the issue for me.

That might be your app. I had that issue using boost so I just switched back to voyager and I haven’t noticed it anymore.

They both sound cool, will wishlist them and keep an eye out, thanks !

They’re tankies… They’re both.

Oh crap. I didn’t mix them up, I did assume, however. Wasn’t expecting it to be single player. I thought I was basically black desert 2. My bad

Oh, yeah, I definitely agree. A high retention rate is obviously preferable but at such high sales numbers, I’m sure many of them are only gonna be there for a short while. I’m pretty sure not even WoW can retain so many people anymore.

Steam reviews are fairly positive, which is a good sign but I guess it remains to be seen how many will still be playing in a month or two. And how many will be back for the first content patches.

You’re right but I think it might be relevant for retention? If they retain 10% of players 500k vs 5 mill sales makes the player base size quite different.

Not really. There’s so many games out there, don’t waste your time with this one… It’s like outer worlds but not interesting and not funny and with some no man’s sky sprinkled in. But it’s so poorly done and the writing is so meh… Even if you add mods to fast travel and avoid other annoying things it’s still a 6/10 game at best.

Yes, ofc there’s lots of rubbish, it’s easy to make games. There’s tons of shit music. There’s tons of shit paintings, there’s tons of shit in every type of art. But there’s also more good stuff than ever before. And the previous stuff hasn’t gone away either, it’s just more and more. You can’t possibly enjoy all the good art that’s out there. Are you sure you still enjoy video games? Maybe that’s the issue…

Look up the year 2005 or whatever. Tell me how many you’ve played and how many you’ve enjoyed from that year. Some years are better than others especially if you have very particular tastes, but there’s no way there were more good games before than now.

Most of the games I’ve mentioned had budgets in the millions, but here’s some more big budget games from last year that were well received:

Mario kart world

ghost of yotei

ninja Gaiden 4

south of midnight

arc raiders

Death stranding 2

donkey Kong bananza

stellar blade

Elden ring: nightreign

metal gear solid delta

Dying light: the beast

And that’s only a few that come up in a quick search. I’m not trying to piss on your grave… but just because EA, Ubisoft and Activision aren’t making good games anymore doesn’t mean others aren’t.

Kingdom come deliverance 2, clair obscur, silksong, split fiction, citizen sleeper 2, ball x pit, blue prince, dispatch, hades 2, silent hill f, escape from duckov, outer worlds 2…

And that’s only last year and only the games I’ve played. I don’t have the time or the energy to try all the games that I want to… But sure, focus only on the bad stuff…

Good? Yes. Best? Nooo. How can cheese + gelatin be better than cheese+eggs. It’s simple math. Like panna cotta vs crème brûlée/crema catalana/flan or whatever else.

I’m assuming they mean western RPGs. For most there is no enemy respawn. You can only kill each enemy once. Or there’s respawn but at a set time like end of a chapter or when you’re in town or whatever.

The good ol’ “All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises”

Woah. Gives new meaning to the star wars prequels. George Lucas is truly a genius.

Yes. You just swipe left from the edge of the screen to go back. You swipe up from the bottom to go to home. And a smaller swipe from the bottom, dunno how to describe it, for the square menu thingy. Easier than the buttons and you also gain extra screen space.
