I saw it’s 60% off on steam rn and was thinking about pulling the trigger finally lol
Short answer: It’s never been better, but make sure to buy the DLC as well. Worth every penny.
Why do we have to make sure to buy the DLC?
Because it is wicked awesome _
Haha ok. I wasn’t sure if some fixes or something are only in the dlc
The story of the DLC is class, basically the movie ‘Escape from New York’ _
Yes and no. The game is great and improved A LOT (especially on the technical front) but the sheer amount of updates poured into NMS by Hello Games is on another level (and I write this as someone who didn’t really cared about NMS).
If you’re interested but wary about its state then it’s definitely worth it - it’s better and there’s more of it than on launch. If you expect a completely different game however, you might end up disappointed.
Yea I don’t mean perfectly like NMS, just in a more general redemption arc kinda sense lol thanks!
Don’t mind me, I just tend to be overly specific to avoid misunderstandings.
And then often get misunderstood anyway, amirite?
Less than you’d think, actually. Granted, I don’t really interact with controversial topics and I try to clarify my position if necessary but over all my experience on fediverse was rather positive in this regards. Even more heated replies from people turned into neutral or friendly conversations when I responded calmly instead of raging back.
If that doesn’t work and someone does misinterpret my words (purposelessly or otherwise) then that’s on them. There’s only so much one can do about these things it’s not really worth worrying about.
One of the best games ever made IMO. I bought it at release and still regularly get sucked back into it.
Haha I wanted to buy it at release, but I usually wait a bit for things to iron out. Heard about the bugs, glitches and “lack of content” so decided to wait a few months…which somehow turned into years LMAO
Yeah, performance was pretty bad at first, especially on hardware that just barely met the minimum requirements - low frame rate and lots of crashes. The gameplay balance wasn’t great either - there was one melee build that was particularly OP. The game is a lot more polished now than it was then.
If you don’t mind, does it now match the advertising? I heard there were trailers with advanced features that were not in the actual game on release.
I don’t recall what all was advertised. Which features are you curious about?
I’ve owned the game since launch, and re-installed it several times after supposed big, exciting patches. It’s still a shitty game. It’s more stable and less buggy but that’s about all that they’ve accomplished in 5 years. It’s still a hodgepodge of half-assed RPG systems, most of which don’t even need to be engaged with. The people in this thread saying it’s the best game ever seriously disgust me.
