Finally got the time to launch Loop Hero, 12 hours in, and many more ahead !
Initially I wasn't too much attracted by the game and its poor graphics (pixel "art", but very far from Dead Cells and much more like Baba-is-You - Zoomed Out Edition...), but after watching a streamer playing it, the gameplay looked solid... and it is :wink:

Also, some friends made me discover TFT (through Lutris), but the action on the screen is quite a mess, and as an old League of Legend player, nothing makes much sense in it :tongue:

Quoting: whizseHecks to the yes! Been waiting for this one!

Same, I recently discovered the "season 1", and while I haven't finished it yet, season 2 was an instabuy for me :smile:

Quoting: DuncWait... the “minimum” specs are based on “medium” settings? :huh:

I think that's a "suggestion" to be able to still enjoy the game, but nothing prevents you to turn off graphics settings down to the minimum to have higher fps, or if you have lower spec :wink:

Those artworks deserve a special mention, though

I tried the demo quite a while ago and wasn't hooked much, but it is a kind move from them :smile:

With friends, we "finished" Vaheim as well ; now onto tring some stuff / expanding base. It seems that my computer is giving it last resources now each time I walk in, though.

Quoting: FeistThis week I finished "Technomancer" and just today I finished "Cloudpunk". Technomancer was pretty good, I enjoyed it more than Greedfall and I wouldn't mind a sequel since the ending left quite a few unanswered questions.

I loved Greedfall, and I have been thinking several times about getting Technomancer... Makes me want again to consider buying it :smile:

So sad news... I moved to Discord after Skype became such a mess under Microsoft's direction. Now I should probably start looking elsewhere as well, but my friends will probably want to stay with Discord because "it works" (they use the full-fledged Windows version)

:cry:

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNot a fan of respec - at least if it is given for free or very cheap.

The big fun in these games comes from the thinking you put into your builds, the preparations you do for them, and then seeing it all work out in action.
It forces commitment and is rewarding if done right.

When respec is free or cheap, that removes the need to put in any thinking and to plan ahead. There is no commitment and no reward of figuring it out. You can just brainfart your way around until something works.

It all depends on how it fits the gameplay. For example, in the first Guild Wars game, respec'ing was free, and part of the gameplay to prepare for travelling through some areas.
I, for one, like to experiment and try fun stuff, and respec'ing allows me to try without getting punished too hard in the long term. Yet, I tend to only do it as a last resort, because I find it nice to take into account my "mistakes"

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat was also the big mood killer for me in Diablo 3. I didn't feel commited to any character for a single second as I knew I could just switch everything around at-will.

Of all the mood killers for me in Diablo III, this one was verly low on the list :tongue:
