Try Escape from Duckov! Silly characters but the gameplay really is solid.

I’ll second Duckov! I had quite a bit of fun with it and progression is pretty solid.

I’m curious as to why. Granted I don’t even think I own a game by Stardock that I’m aware of, but always down for buying more ethically if they’ve done something heinous

It absolutely is not true. The game runs amazingly, and has for years at this point. One of my all time favorites.

Good lord blast from the past there haha

Good. Fuck any publicly held company.

Bro the game is absolute trash in its current state, if there is even any improvement that can be made. I’d have been more tempted to jump through hoops for BF6 honestly. Still didn’t, but it was more tempting than this trash.

Yup. Completely agree. It’s still relatively easy to meet people in say MMORPGs, but that isn’t for everyone. I used to love PvP games, especially the BF franchise but it’s just not the same anymore when they skill set you every match and it’s just chaos until the round ends.

One of the biggest issues I have with online currently is that Corps run it from the ground up. It used to be if you wanted you could host a server or pay for one to be hosted, set game mechanics how you’d like, hell even run mods. You could then find like minded individuals and form clans and have a blast. Now you’re forced into their model, and if it fails well fuck you. I would have LOVED for Anthem to be successful. The gameplay that was there was amazing, just undercooked. Knowing the insanity of individuals when they’re passionate about something, I have no doubt this game would have been more successful if they’d released private servers and modding tools.

If you’re looking for good titles to acquire through GoG I’d recommend Cyberpunk 2077. Game goes on sale pretty regularly but is 100 percent worth it at full price. That is of course if you’re into FPS. I could gush about it but I’ll leave this short haha.

Sorry to hear that. I’m speaking from experience when I’m telling you it gets better. I got ganked probably a handful of time and since then haven’t run into them. I’m telling you you should really give it a shot again. It may have been this was instated after you gave up as I’m not sure when it was put into place.

Same here. It has seriously been an amazing game I’ve played the shit out of strictly based on that. Now if they’d adjust the blueprint drop rate a bit…I’d be ecstatic.

This I HARD agree on. Non-optional resets / wipes in Tarkov got tedious as fuck, especially redoing the quest lines over and over. It’s super nice they make it optional.

Honestly by what I’ve seen and heard it’s minimum reward for a whole lot of effort. I guess it’s great for no lifers, kids, and streamers but idk, just no real draw. Especially with how crazy low drop rates are for blueprints. I have a ton of hours and still don’t have everything.

I swear to god this game is my biggest lament of the last 10 years. It had so much potential and they royally fucked it up from day 1. What was released was amazing but then it was quickly found there were game breaking issues that literally broke core gameplay due to how gear calculations were done. Not like a ‘oh let’s patch this’ but like ‘jesus Christ this is broken at the foundation’ type. It was also released way too early. They literally had time gated bullshit just to try and slow players down so they wouldn’t burn through content too quickly. Anyway, my rant aside what was there was glorious and I hope at some point we get a spiritual successor because damn was it fun and DAMN was it beautiful.

Just to save people a click it’s $25 to get the collection, so approx $3.50ish each for 7 titles? I can speak to Trepang II, solid game, but can’t speak to the others. The first Dead Island was fun.

Too bad the company is in the shitter. More power to them though! Who knows, maybe they’ll turn things around.

Man this trailer fucking THREW me. At first I thought the man that was chained and the celebration were separate, then was like ‘oh! Classic pagan wicker man, cool’ then the dudes fucking back burst open and oh my fucking god I’m def on board

Appreciate the insight! Thanks!
