I would never suggest anyone actually play eve Online but it's an extremely good game

Balloon Challenge and Squish'Em (Sam) are great games and I suggest everyone play them. (I've only played thr Commodore 64 version of Squish'Em so I don't know if the other versions are great so beware!)

Eve online is really only fun when you understand exactly what is happening and it takes ages to get to that stage.

Flying in giant goonswarm fleets if loving boring if you don't get the significance of what you're doing (and sometimes there isn't any, lol at station camping and watching pubbies whinge).

But when it's good, it's unlike anything else. Commanding a fleet, fighting on a wormhole, coordinating bumps, coordinating logi, coordinating jumps, watching the enemy ships very slowly whittle away while your own squadmates desperately try everything to stay alive, knowing every call you make is the difference between victory and defeat, it's an absolute rush.

also very true. when i played i was placed in a recon group which was fun once i was on the voice chat and knew what was moving where

that gap from overwhelmed newbie to gritty veteran is a tough on for the game itself to overcome. joining in a community from the start made a big difference and im curious if they addressed that in the game itself for new players

apparently there's another big war in eve online with like 50k people vs goonswarm. I'm almost tempted to pick it up again since nothing matters anymore so I may as well waste my time making some need angry (it's me!!)

I resubbed and have been having fun just shooting at bad guys who come into our space, tho I’ve not gotten any kills yet lol

I actually bought my PS4 for FFXV and KH3. Shame they were both mediocre games.

i bought 9 for ps3 but never played more than 30 mins of it and now it has a hd remaster on newer platforms. x and x-2 always seemed mostly bad despite some cool characters.

XV gameplay is pretty bad and the plot and characters are alright at best.

FFVII-R is better, though some of the changes to the story are divisive to say the least.

XV is an awful game, especially for how much money was thrown at it. Some of the world design and music is cool, but the characters are one dimensional, the story's needlessly convoluted, and the combat is mushy unresponsive garbage.

anyway I got no man's sky on xbox game pass. I know I'm still doing the tutorial stuff but it sure is a whole lot of lasering rocks and plants

certainly the only ones worth considering playing in present-day. for its exact moment in time ff6 was kind of a proto-7 in how much rather crazy poo poo they crammed into it.

I will never understand games that don't allow multiple saves or easy starting over. sometimes you want those new game vibes once you're good at it

the crew 1 saves your progress on ubi's own servers and it's apparently impossible to start over without deleting your uplay account entirely

I worked on that

we didn't provide a new game option for reasons you'll hate to hear: we basically can't remove anything from player saves that they could possibly have purchased with the hard currency (cc) and our server programmers are super stingy with storage space so we dont store which currency you used to purchase things

The story is real bad because it kept on getting rewritten and having more and more poo poo thrown at it. At some point the director wanted to add mech battles after watching a show about mechs, and also make it a musical after seeing les mis.

In the end square replaced him with someone else and tried to push something out with what they had and we got FF XV.

heh, restarting from level 1 is not the most essential feature anyway in a game like the crew where you'd just go back to most features having to be unlocked again and cars that drive poorly because they have low level parts :shrug:
