I meant to say fallen order isn’t 1:1 my bad for the typo

I agree that the bonfire mechanics and level design resemble dark souls, but the mechanics are nothing like dark souls to me. I’ve played all the games as well. Fallen order isisn’t 1:1 with those games, but closer to them than dark souls. Combat is very forgiving and cinematic. It was made to look like darksouls, but the combat didn’t come close. Maybe kingdom hearts combat would be a better comparison. Still easy to get fucked up if you don’t know what your doing, but once you get the hang of it you can just mow down everyone no problem

That wasn’t my experience with fallen order at all lol. I could mostly rush into any group of enemies because enemy attacks were predictable and very easy to dodge. The iframes felt more like the combo beat em up games and enemies generally attacked in turns unless they were all shooting then all you had to do then was hold the block button. On second thought I’d say it was maybe closer to kingdomhearts combat

Jedi fallen order is not souls like at all. People saw the “bonfire/leveling system” and proclaimed it as being soulslike. The gameplay is more akin to the Spiderman or Arkham Knight games

Surprised that it was so short?

That’s fair too. I’ll be honest I’m always going to be pessimistic as hell when it comes to anything amazon says and does. If it’s their money, make them pay up

Then give the tip in person. Don’t let amazon know they can count on their customers to carry the burden of paying their employees

Buying games through steam is optional. Steam itself is the game manager. I run many of my non steam games through it and don’t pay a dime for it. Alternatively I can buy steam games through 3rd party stores. The steam client on your machine is free.

Do you pay for steam?

It was a different age

2020

It’s by far been one of if not the best way to reach their audience for well over a decade. RSS feeds might be well used by lemmy users, but you don’t really think most people get their news that way? Or even know how to use RSS, or what it is. I’ve got friends and family members who have never owned a personal computer, but they have accounts on all the biggest social media platforms.

Were they testing those ads on users that paid for an ad free premium or were they testing on users that bought a lower tier?

I loved this remake. I played the first one when I was about 12? Looking back that seems very young but it was one of the only games I completed at that age. I didn’t have internet in my room at the time so I printed the walk through from I think gamefaq lol. Had it holepunched and stored in a ring binder. Over 20 years later and it was really fun remembering events and areas in this remake even if they were slightly redesigned.

Imagine my surprise when my gf at the time who barely played video games with more depth than Kingdom Hearts beat Gundyr on her first try

Lol the least splinter cell like level in the series(still a fun level)

I played WoW when it came out but I thought even then it was clear that their adverts and cutscenes weren’t trying to fool us into believing that was the gameplay. I can’t speak for StarCraft, but in WoW they were labeled as Cinematic Cutscenes. Most mobile games ads i see are made to look like gameplay, even the picture OP posted.

Aliens calling themselves aliens is literally a joke in Rick and Morty

I know i didn’t mind putting up with a lot of Window’s bullshit, but I’ll never understand why they removed the single button click to create a folder in the files viewer. They moved it to a drop down. Idk if I’m the outlier but 90% of the time I used file viewer was to create folders because it was just one click of a button, but they just had to take that away lol

Me at the end of any fromsoft game after watching all the cutscenes.
