It is nice to be a patient gamer. I recently bought Cyberpunk and I'm enjoying it. I will get Dragon Dogma's 2 when it comes out of beta.

That's what I'm doing for starfield, and even a game like BG3. Wait until it's been a year of patches, etc.

I'm not saying don't try it, because some people do like it, but I don't think Starfield will ever be worth the time it takes to play, let alone having to pay for it too. It absolutely does not respect the player's time, and there's no content in it that I saw that's worth playing. I didn't see anything when I played, but I think I've seen just about everything after watching a stupid number of videos discussing the game. None of it is particularly interesting (in fact, I think most of it is fundamentally uninteresting because they weren't willing to ask how their universe could be different from our own).

BG3 though is absolutely worth playing whenever you decide to play it. I don't think it's getting a DLC because Larian said they're working on something new and unrelated now, but it'll probably still see some patches and the price will come down, as well as more mods being available.

I liked it for one playthrough. After the end game I couldn't bring myself to start again.

There were some great levels.

The abandoned ice prison was great.

And uhhhh.... well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can't be a bad sign, can it?

Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just... nothing-y.

I recently bought the OG Dragon's Dogma for $6. There are a ton of QoL and fun mods that improve gameplay, no DRM crap, and the game performs really well overall. Zero reasons IMO to buy DD2 right now and put up with an inferior experience and Denuvo.

Nice, can't wait to pick it up when it's $15

Lately I bought a lot of AAA Games from the past couple year's for 12€ up to 20€. It is such a better experience. They work (almost bug free) and you get 30+ Hours out of them on the first run. And when you only get 10 Hours or so out of them and don't feel like investing more time into them, I tend to not have the big buyers remorse effect like with games that cost up to 100€ plus 20€ every other month or so for the next DLC/Battle Pass that should just have been an update or part of the main game from the start.

Patient Gamers eating well (and sensibly priced)

[–] knightmare1147@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

A lot of performance issues I was having are fixed since the patch.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

“Any bugs we’re gonna have to fix after release?”

“Well, the New Game feature doesn’t work”

“But people can still look at the menu, right?”

“I mean yeah except for New Game the menu’s all there”

“Go ahead and ship it then”

Damn too bad they didn't fix any of the issues that were giving it a 56% rating on steam.

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They did tho? Not being able to make a new save was one of those issues

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Op is just doing the outrage culture thing that has taken over lemmy, basically won't be happy unless they remove every single micro transaction (that you 100% don't need and isn't the intended experience)

[–] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Nah it's everywhere, Lemmy is not special in that regard. Gaming culture in general has a large amount of people who just hate shit, regardless of whether it deserves it or not. Just ask anyone who plays an MMORPG

Bummer that we have to wait on the patch for the Xbox version.
