Meanwhile Terraria keeps getting better with every update without any additional payments or price increases

[–] CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stardew valley too.

Then there's factorio.

Then there's any super giant game.

Then there's, frankly, just indie games in general.

Fuck triple aaa

Fuck aaa aaa aaa.

+1 Stardew Valley.

The Farm Must Grow.

No Man's Sky. Game was a disaster when it came out. For most games, a bad launch would have ended the game. But with NMS, the devs kept at it and constantly added new content over many years. I believe it's still actively developed.

That's what got me to play it. I only played it maybe half a year ago. I wouldn't have bothered if not for the fact that people were mentioning how much the game had improved. I wrote the game off after the bad press when it launched, but fortunately I was wrong and they did make something good out of it.

People who still watch the news

I mean that one kinda depends on the role you're playing. It rotates through a cycle of bullshit for each role in turn

It was a steady decline throughout OW1 and then it became steaming pile of garbage when "OW2" happened

They just takes so long to make changes. It took them 4 season to make supports good, and now they are op and tank are unplayble. It's ridiculous.

[–] ByGourou@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I finally gave up last week after 1000 hours. I was a support main, but they made support so op I need 20min to find a game. Tank is literally unplayable.

I'm back to paladin like in 2019, it's bad but less frustating.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Stellaris. They got rid of tiles to improve the AI and performance, but both got worse

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ahh to play it again for the first time.

When the events were all new, I was so busy reading I didn't mind the lag, and AI behavior wasn't super obvious.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stellaris 2.1 was a magical time. The update right before tile changes

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Paragon was a bit of dead on arrival for me and kind of when I lost the last of my steam.

We already complained that the AI wasn't competent enough to make a good story, and they plugged on an incredibly complicated system to allow humans players with 2 brain cells to dominate them even easier.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

And on top of all that the game can't get through an hour without desync so I either play with lobotomized AI or never finish a game with friends.

I lost my steam around mega corp. I played a few times since then but then the game would update, half my mods would never update and I'd lose the save.

Maybe I'll come back when development stops and mods can really run away

And they keep adding more things to micromanage

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Yup and each one of those causes more lag.

They need to switch to event driven pop updates or the game will never be playable

mfs need to learn some self-respect

Sunk cost fallacy is a mean bitch

My girlfriend is a mean bitch but I’ve invested too much time to leave her now.

Where my Dead by Daylight homies at?

[–] WarTowel@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate this game.

Queues up for next match

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah Tarkov just keeps getting more broken every update. Why do I do this to myself? Light Keeper already told me I can't escape Tarkov. I should have listened to him.

Must be a Team Fortress 2 player...

Still waiting on that update-sized update

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does a game need constant updates if it's stable and works and is balanced?

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. I still love some new community maps now and then

[–] sugartits@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They used to happen.

"Meet your match" was the absolute worst update to a game I've ever seen. The outcry was so bad Valve even bothered to reply to comments on reddit and other forums for once.

Instead of rolling it back and actually talking to and listening to the community like they should have done and trying again later, they doubled down and tried to fix the multiple bugs they introduced and didn't revert any of the unpopular gameplay changes.

TF2 is still just about good enough that it's an enjoyable game, but it's dying a slow death due to all the bots, cheaters, and the absurdity that is "random crits"

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

👎 Unfinished garbage. No replay value.

1,612 hours

[–] Veltoss@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We've all been there. There is always that hope that "well, the next update will probably fix _____".

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

CS was quite shitty for quite a while before I quit. Now it looks like it's recovering, the CS2 launch went well (apart from server issues) so there's definitely a reason to have hope. At least with valve.

Titanfall 2 also recovered, but that was always a good game. I'll even say it's the best shooter ever made period.

[–] Fubar91@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lots more than just server issues with CS2 unfortunately haha. (No workshop support, no community server tools, VaCLives been a meme, busted map collision, etc.) But im sure valve will get it fixed up sooner than later... i hope...

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I forgot they replaced CSGO. That was a scummy move indeed given the game lacks those major features.

20 years of runescape later

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love the people who still play RS3 more than they love themselves, which is not at all. OSRS has zero MTX outside of bonds and it's all bankrolled by Jagex's income from the paypigs who keep "RuneScape" on life support.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, anon plays world of warcraft, too?

[–] trash_panda_poppet@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Phasmophobia. Damn that lighting update.
