Wish I had the patience to learn all units and their counters. Game grinded to a halt for me because of this even though I like it. Will give it another go some time this year.

I don’t buy a lot of games that have pre-order any more but no, I don’t. If I want to buy it before it is released and have a pre-order I do it the same day or just the day before release but I think I will stop with this too.

Yes!! Saw this game a while back and been waiting with anticipation!

I often sort and read negative reviews, the ones that are well written. Then if it’s still interesting i read a couple of positive ones to get a better sense.

Works for me.

Just reading random ones is pretty bad indeed. Gotta be source critical like always.

Didn’t they say there will be many years before a new hardware revision of the deck? I had been in the fence about getting one too and got a white one when it came. I’m very happy with it.

Brought my steamdeck to our new years party and managed to snag 2 others to play brotato in multiplayer for a bit. I thought it would be more popular to play some games since that is how we all know each other. Otherwise it would have been Factorio: space age.

Been a while since I played but there is OpenTTD which is my go to when i feel like playing it again :) Still developed.

Transport Tycoon

Almost 2k here

I thought i would wait but since you get your money spent on EA as in-game currency also I bought it. Also noticed that I had a ton of stash tabs already as they transfer from the first game also. In days of scummy microtransactions and moneygrabbing companies this was a really nice move of GGG.

6 months is the plan.

Yup. Pretty good and also pretty hard.

Did it change anything from the release? I know I beat it on my first try but I also remember that I was lucky with something because of something. This was in the first week of the release.

Exactly this. I love that it exists, that someone took a chance in making it and that it is successful. Just not for me :)

I read a lot about it and sounded like it would be very good stuff Bought it and played for just under 2 hours. Some games I played for quite a bit and others I just quit after like 5 minutes. Refunded.

I grew up with a NES and have played games since I was 4 so I have had my fair share of games like this but I just can’t stand these old games any more. There is nothing fun for me in them as I think they are just tedious. I don’t know, it feels like I am the only person not liking this game but that is okay. I gave it a try and really looked for something that would catch me by nope. Afterwards I have watched some streams of it and just concluded that no, even if I would have given it more time I would not have found it fun.

Me too. See you there.

Factorio.

Dwarf fortress but I haven’t played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.

I was also too young when I got this game and it is one I would like to return to. Don’t have my psx any more either :(

Most games now have all the “qol” features that remove the need to communicate if that is even possible at all. It is a sad world we live in where everything has to go faster all the time. More dopamine per minute.

I also was in for the first couple of years in wow and even played Dark Age of Camelot before that and some Ultima online also. It was a different world back then. As a gamer I had all the time in the world to sink into these games. As an adult and a parent I got no time to sit down for hours upon hours to play like I did back then but I wish that kids that grow up today should have the same opportunity as I did to experience this.

I am also not a fan of building stuff and making it look nice. Just follow the easy rules to make a liveable cube and call it a day. That said I think terraria is the only game where I would consider actually spending some time making it look a bit nicer since it is so easy to do. I remember last time after completing the game I looked at some other peoples builds and got inspired.
