the Asscreed thing is weird because, there are SOOO many studios who would pour over the historical details of the era (like Ubisoft used to)
but because Shadows is a "mini" game, the did almost nothing
Max they did the thing
the opening act of KCD2 is so much fucking better than the first game it's absurd
KCD1 only really starts to get engaging ~10 hours in, before that it's mostly you just loot goblining and doing filler quests and tutorials
the game is still niche as fuck, and idk how you'd get into playing it without severe autism

good feature
Steamdb always had a warning in red when the last depot update was more than 18 months ago, but it's really only a major deal with EA stuff
I think if anything, they might want to display it more prominently, or require a checkbox to click when purchasing
How long until people complain it's racist to farm the ones on the right
I don't want to just hate on it without playing, but the more I've seen it looks way worse than any of the last CIV games on release
a lot of that is presentation, visuals, UI, theming
the UI looks like a default unity game
I really don't think it's changing much
some of it is wrong, like the tech tree
which they'll probably fix, but not much else
but it just looks like an incredibly cheap, which is funny for a $130 game
well, $100 for the normal edition you're meant to buy
they also simplified all the systems into identical parallel systems
BE and Civ6 both had an issue with railroading, but as they added mechanics they at least felt different from each other
in Civ7 from what I've seen, every mechanic just spits out a passive buff that lasts the length of the age
and you collect a dozen of them
rinse and repeat
so everything just feeds this wall of merit badges you get
and you can't really specialize your civ, or you gimp yourself far too harshly
which is funny, considering how much they play into customizing your civ so much
was the Spiffing brit mad they cut the British Empire out, to sell as DLC
or can he not be critical, because he's being paid rn
yeha, I'm not asking for him to trash the game
obv he has to play it for a while, since it's a new release and all
glad he mentioned the DLC bullshit at least
I want to see Garbage stream playing it honestly
get to see the moment when he decides to fly to England to lynch the narrator

while doing my minecraft classic mod searching i was delighted to find that one of my favorites is still in active development for modern versions
https://github.com/Team-EnderIO/EnderIO
this game comes out today, and it's going to be the big streamer bait game of the next couple weeks
literally a knockoff of several roblox games

one of the people guy that popularized this genre of roblox game, (other than dummiz or whatever his name was) bereza, was also the coowner of phoenix 😂
