I mean if people are also into Retro projects Ashes: Hard Reset just released.
It’s got weapon crafting (kinda) and has some neat stuff with it.
The whole series is free.

Sadly it wasn’t as good as afterglow, but afterglow is a super high bar.
I’ve had a blast with Selaco, and i’m eyeballing a replay of fallout new vegas for the 83rd time!
might go full retro and replay arcanum!
denmark… that explains EVERYTHING

I look at it in a similar way to Dead Man Walking, it was a cool side story in the universe and in this case helped fill in parts of the story and give a small idea of what is to come.
I personally found a lot of the new weapons cool but i get the sentiment, i am excited for the next actual sequel.
Anything that doesnt align with you is just rage bait in your eyes.

I get Khorne_Dawgs point (kinda). Looking at Helldivers II specifically, I TOTALY get it. Every update is the same bait in the comments. Some disscusion topics are also just pure trolling. There are good topics as well, but the number of bait-posts is so high, that is becomes noticable.
At that point, the forum can leave a bad taste in your mouth.
This 100%. But thats not anything new, or is it? Indie games simply have it so much better. Those communities tend to be way more chill.
I do like the Steam forums tho. Its easy to search for answers in past topics, ask questions yourself or help others in need. The artworks, guides, and workshop-mods are a neat feature too.
And its all right there, built into steam. One click away from your library. The fact its so easily accessible sells it to me the most.

Ye, just saying that theres a difference between posts that make people mad, and posts that are inflammatory. But many people just like to call posts that make them mad, inflammatory, which not all of them are. People just have different views.
Plus, “rage baiting for free steam points” ; bro is really mad calling it bait. Who gives a fk about steam points.
You incorrectly assume that I can’t tell the difference.
If someone posts an inflammatory reference to IRL problems (for example: current wars or politics) in a place where those things are NOT welcome and without any point to make, they’re either rage-baiting or just straight-up disagreeable people.
You’re stretching what I said WAY out of proportion, mate.

For some things yeah but hopefully not these surface level stuff.
Ie. when I “insulted” your looks. Just bad n poorly received joke.
But youre already calling it inflammatory. Plus, the only time a statement should be called inflammatory is when it’s baseless. It being not welcomed/no point is dismissive.
Not rly. There isnt a lot of people who’d be an ass just for some steam points. Youre finding an excuse to confirm your bias of the person being a rage baiter when they likely arent.
[Additionally, yes I do believe that politics should stay out of games like Helldivers lets say. But talking about it, finding similarities, having a discussion of what the message behind the game is, compared to the path the world as a whole is taking, is still beneficial so long as it isnt implied that “Helldivers is where the world is headed” because that’s baseless. Possible because who knows, but baseless.]
Valve incentivized poopyposting thanks to the jester award that should be removed, but Darktide’s steam forum mostly don’t have people who are obviously farming often.

Lol not many people to begin with. With that fact, all persons are welcome.
Either way, the jester award means that the comment should be taken as a joke.
Why someone would be mad at a joke? Who knows.

I will say the jester award in steam seems to be exclusively used as the insult award. I rarely… No scratch that, I have personally never seen it used as a “that was funny award” (and the author intended it to be). Isn’t there an exclusive laughing award?
It’s a strange system to use real point to have a reaction. The award system is fine but they should have basic likes or dislikes or something that aren’t using points tied to real money.

My Steam Profile was spammed with “Jester” because I failed to clutch a match in Insurgency: Sandstorm.
In my defence, the rest of my team bunched up and got killed by ONE Incendiary Grenade… I, however, died to the opposing last man standing after I killed the rest of his team by myself.

I like Paradox forums. As paradox players are - They form complex and long posts which are very deep in logical thinking.
I made a long posts about how the economy in Cities Skylines 2 was simplified compared to 1st game and had no direct control apart from changing different industry tax sliders and let population RNG open businesses - You cannot directly control specific goods output. I said these influencers shouldn’t be sole consultation and devs needed to hire economic advisors instead for more accurate economic simulation.
Probably the one person disagreed with me to self justify how he spent 80 bucks on Ultimate edition that gave no real perks.
It goes towards a total reaction score to your profile as some sort of social credit system.
What is the funny is that they did nothing tangible for 6-7 months then suddenly announce they’re on summer break as required by Finland law, but going to release a small feel good patch in June before that. Sound familiar?

Ye whether as a comical joke, or a joke of a comment not to be taken seriously, works either way.
At the end of the day, only a tiny percentage of normal people really go for those awards, and the small percentage of people that do already have a hidden agenda, prolly making them a baiter. But even then you cant deduce if the person is really going for the award. It’s why it’s important to understand all view points.
Never knew a steam profile could be spammed with jester awards using steam points without making a comment on a discussion page though. Crazy for a bunch of people to go out of their way to do so with little to no reason as well.
where’s all the disrespectful agreements?
btw I’m still waiting for that game to be patched into decency. I can’t believe it wasn’t released with at least some basic tmpe and zoning functionality, let alone something like moveit or anarchy baked in.

With what you’ve seen after 6-7 months. You just know it is a long road of months or at least a year.
It is usual case of Modders will fix the game. But then takes a modder to abandon their mod then at some point a game update will no longer be compatible.

Yah that’s the main problem with mods fixing games. One patch later and it’s not fixed any more.
