UGH this whole thing makes me so mad. Steam REALLY has a chance to do something awesome with the verified program and they CONTINUE to do more of this garbage which makes the entire program completely worthless.

If some random person buys a steam deck and sees that the new Forza open world driving game is "verified" they'll probably be super excited! Then they will load it up and it'll run like complete ass and get like 20 fps which is unusable in a fast paced driving game, and they'll never trust any "verified" other game ever again. 😡

Quoting: Jarmeryall checked out Dragonkin? ITS SO GOOD. Seriously, if you like argps, this is a hidden gem.

I like 3rd person ARPGs much more in general, but I really love hyper-complex skill systems I can tinker with. The main reason I play(ed) POE. How complex is Dragonkin skill system in comparison?

oh man. GIVE THIS A TRY. It's got a very unique skill system I've never seen in any other arpg ever. You use a hexagonal grid to place skill tokens, and some skills have modifiers, others don't. Sometimes you can get modifiers that are totally free. Then whatever it TOUCHING that active skill gets modified by it. Then add in that pet skills can be triggered by active or passive mods, AND by whatever is touching it. Then the skills and mods themselves can drop all over the world from mobs, OR you can craft / buy them in the town. It's also cool that you slowly build up your town and unlock more and more things in it.

I ALSO love that it was developed as a completely offline single player experience first, and then added in multiplayer later. So I play in a completely offline city / world all by myself and there's no online servers or anything. LOVE.

Here's an image of the skill system (ancestral grid) ...

This system can be a turn on / turn off depending on the type of player. For players who just want to click and unlock a skill like in Grim Dawn for instance, this system will be insanely frustrating because it is SO complex. For people like you and I, it's amazing and wonderful.

I SOOOOO wish I didn't suck absolutely terribly at these style of games :( I was having a blast in CrossCode until the difficulty wall (and by that I mean I just am HORRIBLE at this style of combat) slammed me in the face at one of the bosses and I tried like 20 times and couldn't even make a dent and just gave up entirely. I think this dev is awesome though, and for fans I couldn't be more excited for them!

yall checked out Dragonkin? ITS SO GOOD. Seriously, if you like argps, this is a hidden gem. I'm having a blast minigaming my little hexagons of active powers and trying to make my pet powers get stronger as I chain lightning everything in sight to death.

🤔 paradox

Purchase the "full game" on release to unlock all content!!! It's going to be so great!!! "full game" is the opening menu, where you can click on things. DLC is optionally available to unlock actual playable portions of the game. To get into settings, we have a DLC available called TRANSPORT FEVER SETTINGS which will just be a reasonable $45. To get into a new game, you must download the DLC for "play game" button on the opening menu. That DLC is available for a reasonable $87. Once you've unlocked the "play game" button, you can click on play game!!! Difficulty options are all available as one time download DLCs for reasonable prices of $9 for easy mode, $18 for medium, and $99 for hard mode.

my friends ... just go onto the switch store.

It's slopmageddon, but not only that, it's that plus turbo chargers. With some nitrous. It's a sea of dollar 99 games that are literally worthless but GUESS WHAT they're still on there. I guess the people that make these games bank on the fact that it costs them less than $1 to make this game, but if they sell literally two copies on the switch store, they are making a profit.

Yay.

Quoting: JRayLambWow, looking at the specs, I only meet the minimum requirements.
Ultra Requirements -- My PC
32GB RAM -- 64GB
7900XTX -- 9070XT
16GB VRAM -- 16GB VRAM
Ryzen 9 7900X3D -- (damn!) 5950X

I gotta say, this is the first game I've seen that needed a CPU beyond what I have...

first game?

I mean ...

You have a bleeding edge gpu, tons of ram, and an (comparatively) ancient cpu. How did you even come to be in this build? Your cpu is half a decade old but paired with a brand new gpu?
