The spongebob game wasnt so bad. It had like a login bonus but it didnt seem to be too bad But once we got into the lego star wars game the f2p bullshit started. And oh god. This game clearly designed for kids had all the f2p bullshit. Login bonuses. Gridnyness. Multiple in game currencies. The daily/weekly ect missions. The unlockables

But god the racing game was even worse. 100000 things to unlock and basically nothing is by default basically. Sooooooooooo absurdly grindy. And most harrowing of all… i swear to god… 5 seperate in game currencies.

I want to reach out and scream to him “games werent always like this maaaaan”

    I want somebody to try making a game like MAG again, that shit was tight

    Fuck raytracing and 8K resolution or whatever, gimmie something with some big ass battles and huge maps and make the graphics “good enough” and give me a stable high framerate and good physics and aiming mechanics and I’d be super happy with it

      I’d enjoy more Supreme Commander style RTS and maybe developments beyond it to something even more awesome if the MOBA plague didn’t crush the genre. sicko-wistful

        I’m a stupid baby and don’t have the attention span to remember queueing enough build stuff and microing units so I always sucked at RTS lol

        (Consequentially, favorite was Halo Wars because it’s for stupid babies like me and you can just play Covenant and pump econ and just smash everything with The Arbiter and keep upgrading him if you weren’t playing like, actually good opponents)

          I admit I wasn’t good at the “clicks per minute” super sweaty soypoint-1 ESPORTS soypoint-2 emphasizing RTSes, though I was quite fond of Sins of a Solar Empire for its pacing.

            Ooh, I’m pretty sure Sins of a Solar Empire is the one that somebody made a Halo overhaul mod for. Sins of the Prophets I think? I remember seeing a thing about that an some of the fan made ships from the mod ended up making their way into canon just because they were well designed and cool enough
