yeah as if rivals didnt just take everything from ow in the first place literally just shut the fuck up lol

the overall gaming community just chose to pretend it was dead, or that they didnt care bc they moved on to marvel rivals. overwatch still has the sauce unlike any other game 10 years later man

then gamer tourists see bad review scores, and any chance of enjoyment for the game is now gone. gamer tourists these days only enjoy games through validation

expectations and reception are so weird to me, because technically these things do not affect the actual game whatsoever. its not like whether a game is anticipated or not changes the gameplay loop or something. yet it heavily influences review scores...

if highguard just shadowdropped with no announcement at the game awards, it would probably be received significantly better. purely due to the fact that it was announced at TGA, the game was hyped up way too hard and expectations became higher than any studio could possibly deliver on...

some sort of group respawn feature (like in overwatch) or smaller maps would be nice

btw i eventually got burnt out of silksong around the end of act 2. mostly because the running back and forth between old areas was burning me out a bit + borderlands 4 and megabonk addiction

i think its possible to do everything in 1 run (with save reloading) as durge, but it will be my first durge playthrough so id rather just experience it as normally as possible

the next run will be a durge run where i clean up anything that missed in the first run, and do the durge specific achievements...

i think i will do 2 runs, one where i just explore the map as much as possible, save sazza and tieflings, and do a hard save before/after every encounter. that way i can go back to any point and do things i missed as i see fit...

in contrast, just because some player count is low, doesnt mean the game is bad either. sometimes a really good game is just not that popular. might be a crazy concept for people who are new to concepts and such

looking forward to see what updates they add, im praying for more bosses, more in-game events, more passives, just more stuff i want it all
