Mods. The hours come from that.

I started with just bobs mods. Vanilla takes me 15-30 hours. Bobs it’s about 60. If you have never tried mods, and want to make the game a little bit more (and have already finished vanilla), bobs is an excellent start.

Next is Bob + angels. Combined this dials up the complexity, base size, and forces you to think a bit more. 120 hours to finish

Seablock - this takes the above and forces you to work with no space at all - very cool. But long. 300 hours.

Space exploration. 500 hours for this.

I did 5500 hours, then stopped at the time of announcement.

This way it will be fresh n magical.

Dream of blue chips

I had a 2XL that I absolutely loved. It eventually got screen burn in so bad I could barely use it.

But I held on to it till the 6 came out, and I’m still rocking a fantastic 6 pro. Love it. Have zero interest in paying twice as much for the 9 though.

Or it could be voice lines for their other new game that is currently in “invite your friends” beta.

Also carriers they often take forever to update too

Yep.

I pirated Factorio way back when it first came out (0.72?) and I actually didn’t like it. It was… Bad.

A few months later someone suggested I give it another go, so I pirated it again. It was a lot better. Like way better. I did a couple of months and was like … this is soooo good I’m buying it.

I will pre buy the dlc the moment it’s available.

I’m at 5500 hours and haven’t played since Jan 2023…

I’m so fucked

I’ve booked 3 days haha.

I’ve not touched factorio since Jan 2023. 5500 hours till then.

Factorio DLC is going to break global productivity for a month when it’s released in October.

Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn’t cost a fortune, it’s made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.

I burn the garbage

Seems to be console only.

Bf4 PC lives on

Side note question on this.

Where is the largest TF2 community?

Reason I ask is that valve would be unlikely to monitor anywhere for feedback, but if they did put any effort in, it would be wherever the largest active community resides.

Is that reddit or some other forum?

The best part is the video shows him doing it like 3 times haha

This guy is awesome.

He does it to all the chase banks.

The DLC will do very well.

It will be an insta buy for a significant percentage of the player base, and will also be overwhelmingly positive.

I’m not buying a switch 2 till I’ve seen the issue is resolved

Battle bit.

256 player servers are just insane still. It’s got the gameplay without the fancy graphics.

So… Battle bit?

Not every big company does this.

I work for a fortune 500. We had a “the customers are not going to be pleased” change get pushed to us, and a lot of internal backlash/pushback prevented it from happening.

A competitor then did the thing we stopped, and got reamed by the public hard enough to set the standard of “your a dumbass if you even think about this”.
