6000+ in Destiny 2, spent over AU$500 and don't regret a cent spent. But in the end D2 became so boring, its content became stale. I would list the things that are wrong with D2, but it would be too long. The things that were good about is a long list too. Bungie are an awful company, but I don't care about that stuff as long as the gameplay and content is good. The content for D2 just became meh. For me quitting D2 is the end of 'live service games,' the time investment is too much, that's on me, but also on the style of game. I have 30 single player games loaded and ready to go on my PC. Some of them have extensive modding adding an extra thousand hours to a hundred-hour game. The thing about the games I am going to play now, I can leave them for twelve months and will not be punished for doing so. If you don't play a game like D2 for 12 months you will have to spend a huge number of hours grinding your power level up, plus some content/story will no longer be available for you to play.

[@Eggasalad]

@@gregowen2022 That's because Rocket League was designed like that. Most live service games are just normal games w/ the live service retention models tacked on. WOW and Destiny are excellent examples of game design that was built around extended engagement that aren't simply match games like dota and rocket league. Suicide squad was clearly designed to be like borderlands w/ DC characters. The live service menu placed on top awkwardly divides up the game so the world feels disjointed. Rather than regular story progression you get mindlessly repeatable objectives that aren't fun because there's no compelling reason for the game to have those characteristics because live service games are made in the C-Suite.

[@paulman34340]

@@jamo7303 Wow, I had the same thoughts as well! Never cared for the $60 pricing and ESPECIALLY didn't care when it went up to $70 dollars. Frankly thanks to a BACKLOG I can wait out for sales and I have a SET LIMIT I imposed myself on games in a year I'm WILLING to shell out (so far this year, Unicorn overlord and Class of Heroes 2G is the only ones I bought at full price though in the latter case it was on sale upon launch and I used my gold coins to lower it to $15 since the sale dropped it to $17.99 and this is buying the game seperate which makes it 19.99 for each one! For the Former, that was ONLY made because I got to play the demo which was the full game and it removed my fears of "bugs/crashes" as I was buying it for my Switch! Frankly if I got more Full Game Demo's for Switch releases, I'd feel more calm about buying them as then I KNOW I'm not paying alot to be a BUG TESTER and helps the game was GOOD as I imagine it to be that makes it worth the purchese) once I hit the limit, I can only buy OTHER games I want ON SALE (Decent sales) I jokingly called the full price tag the "FIRST Tax" after those idiots in the comment section who like to comment "FIRST" because many feel like they want the game simply to say "they got it on day 1" for the attention (Like ALOT of the Call of Duty games. Modern Warfare 2 ORIGINAL is what made me think this as my mother got it for my idiot brother and had to wait in line for it in the cold, and the goblin beat it in a few hours which pissed her off! I told her to leave it to me in the future as I got REALLY good at getting games on sale and cheaper then paying that "$50/$60" I also use rules for my purchases. 1st off, the "limited full price game" rule I mentioned. The 2nd rule is any game that gets delayed is worthy a worry, second delay is a dealbreaker if I DID pre-order it, and a third delay means that shit is coming out broken! Rarely have I been WRONG on this. And my 3rd rule of note, is pay the price of broken for the price of a broken game! If they want me to be a bug tester, then I will take my compensation from the amount of money I DIDN'T pay into said game! If a game has a game breaking bug, then that's about $10-$15 even $20 dollars taken off of the final price for me, even if a patch removes the bug, the fact it's THERE means if I bought the game physical, then if I EVER uninstall the game and can't download the patch, then that game is NEAR useless to play now! I'm more incline to buy the game DIGITAL ONLY and ONLY on a sale that lowers it at or BELOW the "final pricing" I set after taking those things into mind. At the very least it's good I have some GOOD review sources like SwitchUp for Switch games as an example to WARN ME of this shit ahead of time to make my choices more clear. I will NEVER buy those 100 dollar Special Editions, NEVER even if the stuff is good (I remember when art books and such were FREE if you pre-ordered as I remember the book I got for Fire Emblem Awakening after getting it Day 1 as I do ALL Fire Emblems, now they want MONEY, I say fuck that noise) for those games, I truly call it the "Swag Tax" where the companies are now targeting the SWAG lovers who they use to give the Swag to them for FREE but are now targeting them for sales. Except at least SOME make the Swag worth it! Those like THIS abomination are exploiting people and it's not even swag, it's taking IN-GAME stuff that should have been in the game (A SINGLE PLAYER GAME AT THAT) and asking you to pay. No thanks pal (If I DO buy that stuff, I usually wait for a MEGA sale as they get desperate to get SOME money out of it, even if their willing to drop it from $30 dollars to $5-8 dollars! At that point I strike, meaning I saved myself money and heartbreak WASTING money on something that SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRICED IN THOSE RANGES instead of costing HALF as much for a GAME!)

We're being charged more now for no disk/cartridge, no manual, no case than we ever have, with all that stuff. Should be WAY less, even with production values, and not on a Steam sale.

[@michaelcjgreenway4788]

@@im3phirebird81 Length of time making is irrelevant. We are not getting the value and physical things we used to. We are paying more for less.

[@im3phirebird81]

@@michaelcjgreenway4788 length of time is not irrelevant lol. Let's say your boss asks why you don't work 80 hours a week for the same salary because length of time working is irrelevant. Fact is developing a big title takes a lot longer than it used to, and that involves a lot of hours of work by a lot of people. You are not getting less by any means. Compare like the first tomb raider game to a modern comparable game or the first GTA to the one getting released soon. You can't imagine how much it takes to just make the map and fill it with life so modern gamers feel properly immersed. Then add how many modern gamers are putting up insane hours in new games (100 per month?) and then say the games lack content. You are not getting less. Not by far. You are still getting more by a long shot. That is not the issue. The issue is scummy business practices and shit stories with political agendas everywhere.

[@michaelcjgreenway4788]

@@im3phirebird81 I don't have a disk, case, or booklet to put on my shelf. I got all that for $40 -$60 before. Also, I DO have an idea, having built maps for Unreal Tournament and Jedi Academy, and made a living doing 3D animation. To me, this is like the smaller bag of chips, with mostly air, and a higher price, when you got a bigger, fuller bag before. Paying more for less just isn't justified in either instance. I respect your view and hope you will respect mine from here, since neither of us is competing for who's right or wrong. Agreed?

[@H2ORaccoon]

@im3phirebird81 Ubisoft has a very bad habit of reusing assets, and not in a good way either, as well as having bland gameplay loops and lately, not great writing. I'm not getting more simply because the devs bloat the game with pointless and useless content, and the fact that you're defending this is why the modern gaming companies have become so complacent

Imo From games now really suffer from the boss recycling mechanic. I would love to support them as they are not going woke and ultra capitalism but it's so annoying. Elden Ring at max half the size but only unique content would be so much better. Still a very good game even if it's not for me. DS1 was by far imo their best game.

Modern companies no longer care about the customer. The customer is NOT who they produce for. Megacorps produce solely for the SHAREHOLDERS. Nothing else matters but appeasing shareholders. Apply this to nearly every industry and it makes sense

[@jacobhouck1182]

Shadows of Doubt is a mind blowing indie game. It’s a 1970s cyberpunk inspired city. You’re a PI. You take on cases, and investigate serial killers. The twist? Every person in the city actually goes about their daily lives. A killer goes has to go to a gun seller to buy a gun, then they hunt down their victim. Sometimes you’ll even happen upon a murder in progress. It’s the best Detective game ever created. The number of times I’ve busted down someone’s door to arrest them only to find I’d deduced the entirely wrong culprit is embarrassing

[@joshz7712]

With Ubisoft openly saying, "you don't own your games," anyone who buys from them moving forward is the problem. Be it this game, the new Assassin's creed, everything they produce. Xbox game pass is the only subscription service we have for games and i love it.

This is the exact reason that Remnant 2 (which I cannot recommend enough) is my favorite game. The base game was only $50, and the two “better” versions were only $10 more each, with the $70 one having 3 FUTURE dlc included, ultimately saving the buyer $10. Anyone who reads this should absolutely play the Remnant series (it’s dark souls with guns).

[@jordirapper]

Season pass without all dlc out is a scam because either it's already made and they took it out of the game or it isn't made and they are selling you literally nothing

Man when you read that article at the start it just boiled my blood.

Agreed, that article was insane. And I agree on the waiting. Plus, most of us have so much backlog, waiting isn’t that painful anyway. It’s pretty rare that I honestly feel like I NEED a game on day 1. They’re almost always better after a few patches anyway

[@DeenanTheKemon1]

Other companies are also very guilty of this trend.. such as IOI (Hitman 1, 2 and 3). Those games are single player, yet they are UNPLAYABLE without internet connection.. so when IOI shuts those servers down.. there goes 3 beautifully crafted video games that are extraordinarily fun, for good. You cannot play any of those 3 titles without internet, no scoring, no points system, no replayability whatsoever without internet connection. I am waiting for them to announce the HitMan servers being shut down, because at a hefty orice tag of over $240 for all 3 games (purchased individually over time), there is going to be some major backlash. Try playing Hitman 3 with your internet turned off, and see how much 'fun' it is.. Ubisoft is pure garbage but they are far from the only company partaking in this new "own nothing and be happy" perspective on game development..

EVE in Stellar Blade absolutely DOES have idle animations, so that's a flat out lie. Most of them are very subtle, but there are also occasional much more active animations. She sometimes will turn her head to look at the camera, she will shift her weight back and forth, and she does this seriously cute stretching animation, and there may be others I haven't seen (you know, because most of us don't just sit there and stare at her doing basically nothing.. it's a game about combat, after all).
