At some point in time, I do actually want to try out Star Trek Online... the only problem is that I don't feel like I have the time to sink into it with everything else going on in my life.Star Trek: Online mostly. It's largely single-player, it caters to my ever-lasting desire to fly around in a space-ship and shoot lasers at stuff. It's also really easy to jump in, do a few things, hang out with folks briefly, and then hop out.
I often do it from a roleplay perspective, which I like doing. For the most part, ghosting is the only real way stealth-optional games would be remotely realistic in their narrative.lol, yeah, I stealth through those games as well, though with Human Revolution, any time I mess up, I just stand out in the open and get myself killed which takes only a second to do since I never spec into any of the defensive skills.
My favourite thing about VtMB was its gothic-punk aesthetic. I've never seen it in any other media; I hope they keep it for the next one.Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Man, I played a lot of that last year when I got made redundant and they had some double xp weekends going on to prepare for the Gamma Quadrant expansion. Managed to get my Federation and Klingon captains to max, and got pretty far with a Romulan, too... I kind of lost interest after that, though - I wasn't that bothered about a Jem'Hadar character.Star Trek: Online mostly.

I'll tell ya, getting to max level can be something of a grind, especially if you re-roll. But as Astor mentions if you can start playing on a double-XP weekend, you can really bank it out. But FYI, there's like ZERO replay value to the leveling experience. Levels 1-30 are similar, but different for Feds and Klingons, and Romulans have a unique 10ish-level into story, but that's it. There's no "take some quests in this zone instead of that one..." like a lot of MMOs. It's just A straight through to Z.At some point in time, I do actually want to try out Star Trek Online... the only problem is that I don't feel like I have the time to sink into it with everything else going on in my life.
One of my favourite games of recent times... eventually, when I get myself a capture card, I want to do a reply of it on the hardest difficulty and complete it 100%.I'm also resuming my first playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn. I liked what I played so far. Neat game.
Downgraded graphics...?Outside of the boss battles, I understand that the DC is just a buggier version of the original game, with downgraded graphics and the DLC missing link badly integrated into the main game.
I've played the original release and I own the Director's Cut on Steam. Don't know where you got that, but no. DC is neither buggier, nor are the graphics downgraded. The Missing Link is integrated into the main game, in the proper place in the story, but it is integrated as-is - meaning it plays the same as the original release, having its own praxis point pool and having you level up Adam from scratch, like the original release.Outside of the boss battles, I understand that the DC is just a buggier version of the original game, with downgraded graphics and the DLC missing link badly integrated into the main game.
Why are people putting up with it now, I'm not sure either TBH. For my part, I'm basically playing parts of the game that are fun for me and ignoring the rest. If they fix the rest, I'll give it another shot and if they don't, well, I AM playing on PC, so I'm sure there will eventually be ways around the bad parts without succumbing to their predatory monetization practices.@igyman: Man, I wouldn't put up with that at all. I mean, most people didn't let Microsoft get away with it when they tried to launch the Xbox One with such features... so why is everyone willing to put up with it now?
Because people are stupid...so why is everyone willing to put up with it now?
