I consider completing Drsgon Slayer 1 my own litmus test of whether I should upgrade an account to members. On making it stick, that’s a difficult situation. There is always stuff to do in OSRS. Is all of it fun? Depends on what you like. I used to not mind Agility, now I hate it, but it’s useful to train. I’ve realized I love PvM and am working long-term towards end-game bosses, butt combat training gets boring for me after a while of the same thing, so I switch it up and train something else or play something else. Dual monitors helps a lot too for AFK skilling, having something to watch simultaneously is fun to me. Podcasts can fulfill a similar thing, or just vibing to music.

The biggest thing is knowing your limits to prevent boredom or burnout. It’s a gigantic game and a gigantic time sink if you want to make a lot of progress. If you get to mid game and can’t commit to longer grinds, l hate to say the game just might not be for you. But you can get a very good idea of the member experience with 30 days of membership, I think.

Old Republic era!

While I’m generally against in-app ads, I think it’s interesting to note how many people in the comments likely did not read the actual article linked. It seems that every user can entirely opt-out of seeing the ads. While they are ads, they aren’t really so in the traditional sense: you stream a developer’s game to other users on Discord and you can get gifts in Discord. Not so bad I don’t think, though I don’t use the gifts much at all, and it’ll probably be for the types of games I don’t play.

I would very much like a tinker-free KOTOR that supports widescreen resolutions, but besides that the original has no issues.

Avelon on iOS has been good to me.

Good, hopefully they invest their time making the other writing aspects as well as gameplay, better. Romance isn’t a necessity in RPGs.

Haven’t read the article but the “worst Cleric” reminds me of an old YouTube series called JourneyQuest that followed the party of the worst Wizard ever, who was so bad because he had dyslexia and couldn’t read spells correctly.

Unfortunately, many games where people care about that lower latency tend to be competitive with some kind of anti-cheat that doesn’t mesh with Linux.

Not sure anyone in this thread knows what the word “monopoly” means. Steam has competition, it all just comparatively sucks.

10 years ago, DayZ taught me some very valuable lessons: do not buy into the hype trains, never preorder games, and rarely trust early access games. However I’m glad they didn’t abandon it, and fixed a lot of issues along the way.

I really hate the pricing trend. But I’ve been waiting a long time for this game. Perhaps Humble Store will allow the Choice discount.

It’s never worked for me too well on PC. If I recall it doesn’t have native widescreen support or something. It made the UI difficult to navigate. I love the game and played it on Xbox originally, but typically gave up tweaking it on PC. Was looking forward to the remake; I’d pay for the convenience. But I get what you’re saying.

40K Rogue Trader is something I’ve had a bit of hope for for a while. Something about 40K videogames never hit right though imo.

This would still be a pretty decent improvement from the first game. The tech was pretty old, towns were mostly in different instances that prevented monsters from entering, though you’d occasionally have a quest that allowed attacks inside towns. Pretty much every friendly NPC that wasn’t a pawn was woefully under-equipped for dealing with creatures that weren’t goblins or wolves. Additionally, enemies were typically isolated in certain areas, at least until endgame. If creatures are roaming and creating out-of-the-ordinary events, I say more power to them, regardless of the comparison to other newer games.

I’m a bit biased as I’ve owned PZ since 2016, but it’s insanely fun with friends and insanely immersive solo. I’m unsure what you’re looking to get out of it, but I’ve put ~400hrs into it and it’s come a long way but has slow development. Very good modding scene to cover things in the meantime however.
