Maybe it’s because I played them too late, but while I mostly had a blast playing HL2, the first one never clicked for me.

I know, it’s been very influential and new when it released, but it was still quite straight a FPS game. Whereas HL2 is like a crazy theme park of different ambiences and mechanics.

I remember the sense of Pride and Accomplishment everyone got from that game back then.

So now their solution to the whole “don’t you guys have phone?” situation is to keep designing for mobile but port those everywhere.

I think I’ll keep not giving a shit, thank you very much.

Animal Crossing is a special case (and one that made a lot of people angry back when the game released).

One console is tied to one “island”, which means all accounts on the same switch play in the same town. Each has got their own house and inventory, and can contribute to the island in some ways…

But only the main account, who started the save, is “resident representative”, which means they’re the only one who can build or relocate stuff, and who can start community projects needed for the island to progress.

So yeah, all other players have an inferior experience. Which is a bit of a baffling design for a family game such as this.

You’re right, this is what they’ve been announcing. The games you’ve bought will still be available for download.

This is not the case with the sega games we’re talking about. The announcement specifically mentions the games will still be available to download if you bought them before the delisting.

I’ve been playing mostly expeditions for a while (on PS4, occasionally VR : on a non-pro PS4, this is rough). I am getting a PC VR headset soon so I am waiting for that to double dip and make a clean save again.

Good thing is there are ways to unlock past expedition rewards on PC. I’d have no way to transfer them otherwise. They need to stop this limited time FOMO bullshit. I understand why the old expeditions themselves can’t be maintained but there should be ways to get the unlockable stuff.

Well it’s likely, the expeditions make everyone go to the same spots and this one is particular is supposed to be done without hyperdrive, so everyone is going to visit the same 5 systems and their planets.

You’re probably right. But getting free rein and an almost infinite source of funding is certainly not that environment.

Roberts is relatively well-known in and out of the Star Citizen community for being a perfectionist at the best times.

In a parallel universe, Roberts would have been allowed to continue working on Freelancer, and it would still be in development hell in 2024 with no end in sight.

Yeah mostly soothe them with music and keep their feeder going, but you’re always going to find one or two escapees.
