Survival mode is where the real fun is. Your first 10 attempts will end in an easy death while you learn the game but it will eventually click and you'll survive for 5/10/50 days and you'll love it.
I'd forgotten about that but I don't mind what happened and blame Nvidia not Hinterland. If they are going to make money off of others then they should at least get permission from Devs to be part of it.
TLD is one of my favourites but the way they have handled the story episodes isn't great. It's all long overdue and they release extra dlc before finishing it off which is kind of bullshit.
Thankfully survival mode is infinitely more fun anyway but I do hope they stop updating the game (from May with the planned graphical updates due) before it loses it uniqueness.
Also it's on sale right now on Steam for ridiculously cheap so I really recommend you buy it. Like I said, even with some small issue the game is a favourite and well worth even full price.
I had the urge to play Red Dead Redemption 2 (haven't played it since the Xbox release so probably 6 years ago) but my god it is a blurry mess. I don't mind playing old games but the amount of blur is just ridiculous.
I moved on to GTA V and it plays very well but I just find the whole thing very cringe so stopped playing that too.
I going to give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a go later instead as I hear good things.
Did play some Octodad with my youngest daughter earlier. It's so funny watching her but she gets annoyed and thinks I'm laughing at her and not the gameplay so had to stop. We'll do it again though.
I buy and play games from all the storefronts so it's nice that you post a variety of stuff and not just default to Steam like everyone else seems to. I also don't follow the news closely anymore so the variety of topics you give is perfect too.
Regarding the website idea; Lemmy needs high quality posts so please keep doing what your doing :)
Something like legally required to offer a no-DRM version on all storefronts would be interesting. I don't care about physical media much anymore but I do want to own what I buy.
Not much time spent playing this week so just a few short sessions on Skate 3 when I have a spare 20 minutes. I normally just find some realistic spots and make some clips.
I agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.
This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.
Apart from Eurogamer I basically get all of my information from random people on Lemmy and Mastodon who link to interesting stuff. I don't frequent any games sites anymore.
Edit: and podcasts but not specifically games related ones.
It's actually the only game I feel comfortable using comms in. I have social anxiety so it did take me a few months to get used to it but now it feels natural. I've rarely come across anything bad either in 2k hours which is nice and it's more social than competitive.
Nintendo aren't the monster they are being played as.
I do think the price is too high for the console, games etc but they have always been slow to the party in many ways. That also means they create amazing stuff that the others cannot and have forged their own path. Don't hate on them for that aspect.
