    Before you click the link you should know it’s clickbait. Nowhere in the article is there any insight on what games will go on sale.

      You know, as much as most people hate AI, the app artifact is really neat in that you can use AI to mark a heading clickbait, it’ll scan the article and provide a more accurate headline. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s a good progression. If enough people click mark as clickbait then it changes the headline for everyone by default.

      Honestly, I posted it mostly to let people know that there was going to be a sale next week. You’re right that it’s all speculation about what might be on sale. I did get excited at the mention of 40k Boltor being possibly on sale tho. Guess I’ll wait until next week to find out.

      It feels like it’s been forever. I got into dark souls right as the servers were taken offline, and played through 1 and 2. Been waiting for 3 to go on sale to play it, but have legit been waiting for years.

      Maybe this will be the sale!

        I was just thinking there is no way that is correct, but I just looked and last time it was on sale was Jan 2022. Holy shit.

      Co-op is fine for the most part. It’s really simple, you can either drop into an existing game or create a new run with new characters or import characters from previous campaigns. It’s a bit similar to For the King if you’re familiar with it. The host keeps all the progress in their machine and no one else can access it unless the host is around.

      The Maps, Events, and Relationships are all randomized so lot of the same events might pop up. They’ve added more events but you still see a lot of the same pop up every run. It’s just one of those games where you can’t take it too seriously because RNG can really screw around if you’re trying to roleplay. We’ve had a few guys find a character they wanted to start a relationship with but cuz of RNG, the same two guys ended up married to each other which was pretty hilarious.

        Aha, yes, I’m familiar with For the King. Sounds pretty spiffy then. Are the not-so-random events an impediment to multiple replays? Sounds like it might be a thing that exhausts after 3-4 runs.

        Lol at the marriage situation.

          There’s 10 campaigns and each campaign has it’s own unique events that will always occur alongside the random events. The random ones helps with replayability and it allows you to explore ways to create a specific character because it can drop extremely strong weapons or give you unique traits. A lot of the replayability comes from creating and building unique characters. Some events could technically hinder you but it gives you choices. There’s also modding which could add longevity to the game.
