Yeah but they'd have to deal with the Ubisoft crap launcher and DRM... No thank you. DRM Free GOG for the win!

i play games not launchers. It's better with no DRM but it's not how i pick games to play, quality is what matters.

Quality can not persist if the foundation on which it's built is garbage.

EDIT:
Just an FYI, DRM-Free means the installer can be downloaded, stored and installed at the will of the purchaser of the game, not the will of the publisher. This also means that if the publisher ever goes offline, out of business or decides to deny access for whatever reason, the user can still play their purchased games. Ubi, EA and others have a nasty habit of delisting, removing and denying access of titles on a whim. GOG does not do this and even if they did, we still own and can play our games. That does not happen with Ubi and others. So there's that...

Ne6togadno, Frick and I gave the inquiring user many quality choices for them to select from. You offered but one and insisted it is the only one needed. Your entire premise is flawed and easily disregarded.

what the hell is wrong with you? the only game he needed was a joke obviously, everyone prefers a different type of game and play-style. And i didn't insist on anything, just rebuted your drm/launcher claim. Let him choose whatever he wants.

I recently got back into Everspace 2. The music, the action and open world effect are stellar in this Game. More Freelancer than the original Game.

I somewhat agree, Ubisoft sucks and as they had that thing (removing inactive accounts) which had controversy. I don't HATE them but it still sucks.

You did not state it in a joking manner.

This I kinda agree with, I'm not a fan of those launchers either but eh whatever I'm not gonna limit myself like that if I happen to like a game and want to play/buy it. 'I'm one of those ppl who day 1 bought EPIC exclusives like Borderlands 3 and did not give a damn about it that its on EPIC and I still don't'
Life is already too short and shit in general to limit down even my main hobby 'casual gaming' so ye.

As for what I'm playing, well I've played a lot less lately so I'm still yet to finish Immortals Fenyx Rising, pretty much played it during summer like a few hours here and there. I'm somewhat close-ish to the end of the main game but then I still have the DLCs left to play.
Its a not a small game thats for sure and I like to explore and collect stuff/do puzzles alongside the story missions.
I also got distracted with Outriders Worldslayer and nowadays I'm also playing Tower of Fantasy + gonna play the new Season 27 in Diablo 3 too thats starting later this week.

 

[Keullo-e]

DRM is generally a bitch but most launchers are fine. Never had any problems with Steam, and Origin (or EA Play these days) has also been fine for me.

 

[InVasMani]

Valve made the user experience better with Steam in addition to having a good store front. That actually put some care and thought into it with Linux support, controller support, and so on that makes it stand out versus the other corporate industry try hard copy cats. It doesn't matter how much money Epic pisses away on it's store front if they've got no foresight on how to improve it to attract people into using it. The same is true of the others all trying to emulate Valve. Perhaps they'll get better in time, but Valve is just head and shoulders better right now in area's that the others are coming up short.

your life will be too short if you get that upset because of my one game to rule them all claim, joking or not.

Oohh I didn't even know it existed. Will definitely check it out!

No wait early access. No then. Slated for release early 2023 though, so not too far off.

Even in early access it still is very nice. By the time 2023 comes around there probably will be more star systems to explore. I will say already that distress calls, unknown signals, support and main and side missions are already there and quite fun. I have not even talked about the RPG element of the Game that is very addictive. As an example I spent 20 minutes hanging around a Outlaw Outpost in the Ceto System. After I took out the turrets and garrison. I collected the rewards like Credits, Power Unit Hx-1, Aetheum Crystal, Copper, Guns, Missles and sensors to name a few. I was looking for some titanium for a perk I want. Well every 3 minutes more units would jump in which I could jump and destroy with impunity. If you get into a location that is too hot you can turn around and jump out of that space. The ship list is small but diverse enough that anyone can find their favourite. Even the story is engaging because of how it is tied to your progress in the Game.

So this is not a rogue like game as the first one was?
It was kinda cool but that genre/type is not really my cup of tea so I didn't play it mucha and ever since Freelancer I've been trying to find something similar and more recent-ish. 'played Freelancer a lot back in the days'

Tbh I did not play any space game since Starlink Battle for Atlas which I liked tho its not the same.

It seems we're all getting a bit off topic, eh? Let's rope ourselves in...

This is head and shoulders above the first Game. Do you remember Darkstar One? The thing that I like about this is it is not Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky. From the beginning you are an intricate part of the story and everything you do remains. Let's say early in the Campaign you are in a battle where there is a Jump gate. You may end up with more items than you can carry. It's ok though because later on when you can send some items directly to your home base you will have all of those items to sell, use or dismantle. As the Game grows you will get more and more items to farm around Jump Gates.

Quite a list! Thank you!

Here's another point & click adventure that is currently on give-away at GOG;

STASIS

I haven't played this one, but it seems worth a look.

I've got quite a list now Thanks again, everyone! I'm happy to take more suggestions, though, as long as it doesn't detract from the topic. PM if you like.

Back to DOOM Eternal and getting a tad frustrated with some almost impossible platform jumps. Tomb Raider 1 was easier than this nonsense.

i hated the platforming, i mean it's doom you getting into hard places was part of the original but not with impossible platforming.


Liked Stray so much that i went back for a 2nd playthrough for the collectibles. What a gem.

let's go for a Nord Battlemage, yeah i know ... nords are not fonds of that ... but my Skyrim Archmage playthrough was fun ... plus Battlemage he will have a BFA (Big Fudgin Axe) plus only Nords make good candidate for my handsome lookalike short hai... hairless... ok ok ... bald ... and my awesome beardedness!


alright, time to mod it until it crashes! what? you thought i would be playing morrowind? Mod it until it crashes is the real game!
just like that:
