@Fritz167 KCD2 is like Witcher 3 and RDR2 combined. Insane immersion with amazing storytelling.

If i had to chose one i would probably go with witcher, but it would be a tough choice.

Merry christmas everyone! 🎄

@Ricksta It gets actually a bit too easy after the opening hours. After you get some perks the “survival” elements become non issue and after you train sword fighting with the gypsy sword master, even full plate armored knight isnt a challenge anymore.

It did take me multiple reloads to defeat even a single bandit in the begining tho, its not just you, henry is super weak by design xD

Definetly looking forward to trying the hardcore mode for the second playthrough.

@DennisReynolds Agreed, game has special place in my heart as i grew up near Kutna Hora.

While having a bit of a slow start its definetly one of the most immersive rpgs of all time.

Uff that is super low, cant wait to see 5 weeb games nobody ever heard of above KCD2 as per usual with pushsquare :/

Just bought it yesterday before the sale ended!

Huge fan of This War of Mine, so if this is at least half as good ill be happy!

This is so sad, big loss for the gaming industry, what a legend. Absolutely horrible news

Rest in peace.

RIP Vince Zampella. What a sad day

@get2sammyb 10 seconds too late

Might be beating a dead horse here, but not as surprising as spider man winning over BG3

In the unrelated news… Horsea the horse isnt a fan of the automotive industry.

Im more interested in what does “RPG” mean to VGA.

Does anyone even care at this point? Bethesda has been shoveling cow-***** for ages now.
Dont think theres anyone whos left blind to this fact after Starfield.

Im super excited, BG3 was amazing, but the dnd formula put into videogame felt restrictive and while i enjoyed the game when it released it didnt age as well as lets say Witcher 3.

Im glad they chose to go back to divinity as it lends them more creative freedom.

@Shinnok789 Astrobot wasnt turned based.

@CrispyMango92 Why vote for game of the year if you only played one game?

I voted for spider man.

I wish KCD2 won something, at least RPG of the year. But ye otherwise it will be a clean sweep for E33.

I dont understand the need of some people to spam that theyre NOT buying a product under every article. Its like theyre trying to justify it for themselves.

Ad controllers - i must be doing something wrong, but i went thru 5 of em in 3 years

@Chip-Douglas I cant say i agree with the fine, but employers fire people for racial slurs all the time, even those posted on social media. As they should!

The freedom of speech law isnt even about protecting racists, dont think that anyone would want that. Its just thst its too easy to file anything you dont like under “hatespeech” and silence it.

Id personally rather risk offfending someone than silencing someome for jsut expressiong their opinion.

@SeaDaVie Opening an investigation is opening an investigation, its not “having someone arrested”. Thats not semantics, thats facts.

What do you mean the trump administration threatens to sue people? You talking abkut BBC? That was over fabricating video to fit their agenda, not over speech.

Wealthy demanding reparations for speech? Where did you get that? Do you have an evodence of someone actually arrested for speech in the US? The law applies the same to everyone.

@SeaDaVie Yes you will not get arrested for calling anyone racial slurs. There are ofcourse exceptions like threats of violence, harrasment or stalking, inciting violence, stuff like that.
But no, not just for calling someone any race slur.

Brother even in the biased article you yourself selected it says launch investigation, not arrest.
If you want to critise trump, theres plenty to go around in the actual sphere of facts, no need to make stuff up.

And yes ofcourse i care more about the freedoms i personally care ablut and dont care as much about those thst i dont care about. By definition!

@SeaDaVie I know that, US has freedom of speech protected by constitution. Again barring inciting violence.

@SeaDaVie
> The law has dictated what one can and can’t say for hundreds of years.

Well yes and thats wrong, thats why your country is where it is.

> Secondly, the government has never once arrested anyone in Germany or the UK. Only the police and other authorities can do so.

I dont even know what to say to that, i refuse to belive youre so daft that you dont know that police isnt private and is operated by goverment.

Edit- the books are not banned lol, theyre just removed from public schools. The books are still available in stores and private schools and everywhere else.

@SeaDaVie Do you have some evidence to that other than nonsence?

Books about sexual violence being removed from schools doenst mean theyre banned. You can still get em anywhere else. They just removed them from taxpayer paid public schools.

> The consequences are getting arrested.

If you dont understand the dangers of goverment dictating what you can and cant say, we will probably never find a common ground here.

@Chip-Douglas Agreed man, i wouldnt go there if they paid me

Just pointing out that things arent all sunshine in europe either.
Not defending SA here AT ALL, hope it didnt come out that way 👊

@LifeGirl Thank god i live in the US where it isnt a goverment deciding whats gross and offensive and what should and shouldnt exist.
Barring inciting violence you should be able to say anything you want and then face consequences(like getting punched in the balls).
England is using V for vendetta as an instruction manual.

@Chip-Douglas You mean like england or germany? Where you can get arrested for posting a meme?

Not to mention both of those countries are looking more 3rd world than SA every day.

@DennisReynolds Isnt it obvious tho why would ubisoft never admit that the game underperformed? They have shareholders!

Why would you trust ubisoft of all sources? In order for them to “be happy” it would have to sell north of 10mil, which i doubt it did.

I know you love the game and its hard to admit to yourself you like something bad, but cmon man be real.

@Deadlyblack
Hah i remember that! It was hillariously awesome, good ol’ OG altair.

@DennisReynolds
Brother you will die on a hill defending this game 😬

And yet people still defend battlepasses and premium currency :/

@Jammer damn really? I would agree with FW story being a bit meh, but i really enjoyed ZD story-wise.
Altho combat is definetly star of the show in both games.

@Oram77 agreed, i wouldnt be surprised if it ends up being 1k even.

@UltimateOtaku91 Why would tech nerds buy a closes console? Playstation is still catered towards casual gamers, always will be.

Also why would current Pc players buy the steam machine? They already own a PC.

I personally think they gonna overprice it to hell and that will kill it. But more competition for playstation is always bettwr for thr consumer.

@Nepp67
It is predatory for people with addictive personalities, thats what these practices are designed to exploit. Just because you dont buy anything doesnt mean its not bad.
I dont know how else to explain it.

Non predatory would be having NO battle passes and NO premium currency.

@Ainu20 “Complacency is the enemy of growth“.

Never understood the “hate” for people who mention what they dont like. It doesnt mean they dont like the game.
As a company you usually get the most complaints from your most hardcore fans, and its smart to listen to them.

@Nepp67 The game isnt, im sure you know that, so im asuming you ment the battle pass?

It being free or paid is not what makes it predatory. Its an age old discussion, people who spend nothing or very little here and there arent the target of these practices.

Its people with addictive personalities who these devs target. The gaming community definetly got used to these things by now, but seeing you using this crap as a praise for this game is definetly a next level of delusion.

@Nepp67 So it has not one, but two battlepasses and premium currency?

Matbe it should have lootboxes, then it would truly “respect your money”. You know, like the money you already paid for the game.

Jeeez, gamers standards are rly low these days huh.

@Tatarimokke Brother i absolutely hate turn based combat and id rather amputate some essencial organs than play any of the traditional JRPGs.
But holy excrement, E33 is absolutely amazing, its one of those games that is so good it transcends genre or preferences. Definetly give it a try, you just might be missing on the best game you ever played.

While i dont agree in any shape or form that Yotei is goty, it definetly shoudve been nominated.

I always thought the so called “pc master race” is about the most toxic fanboy group i could event imagine.

After joining a playstation community i realize oh boy was i wrong.

Having the games multiplatform will ALWAYS be better for a customer, unless youre the type of person that gets life satisfaction from bein asured that the box they chose to buy is the best.

Absolutely pathetic :/

Who else but activision?

@StitchJones Yee im in a different debacle. I used to be a PC gamer all the way until very recently.

And while i love the PS5 pro and switch2 and consider myself primarily a console main i still miss some RTS games and grand strategy games like hearts of iron which are just better with mouse and keyboard.

Not sure id be interested in Steam Machine no matter how much it is, some cheap laptop would be better for my use.

Maybe Valve will make a Steam Machine Pro in the future capable of running a modded Cyberpunk xD

@StitchJones Yeee i mostly agree, i still think it will find its audience even when priced this way.

PS5, at least at launch, was sold at a loss and the revenue was made up by the games.
Since Steam Machine is sutch an open system Valve cant do that.

They said it wont be priced as a console, more like an entry level PC, my guess would be around a grand, but i could be wrong ofcourse.

I cant imagine playing RTS on a controller.
FPS were already a tough learning curve for me.

It really boils down to price, and im afraid it will be north of a grand at least.

Otherwise it could be a nice gateway for console players to get into PC gaming, without the hassle of building your own PC from the ground up or trusting a prebuilt.

Dont think it will post any significant threat to playstation tho, nor is it designed to.

Im definetly excited!

@Contimaloris I lold. 100% agree.

Altho given the state of mobile gaming, dailies would be the least predatory thing they can implement.

I wonder if the game even release in netherlands and belgium as most mobile games dont due to the anti-gambling laws.

FW was pretty tired already in my opinion. Gameplay was stellar, but story fel short for me.

Im all up for new ip from them.
