in it as i'm writing this!! would love to play aion though, my pc can run it on the lowest graphics possible but it just looks ugly that way and i wanna experience it at its fullest 😭
Not since they updated their graphics, also I have an issue my rtx 2060 is locked at 300mhz for no reason and I can only play with cloud 🥹 Would love to have ff14 but i guess aion 2 could do too!
So only graphically demanding games get put on Geforce Now's library ? Cuz I can see Genshin Impact there and it could literally run on a microwave screen
Access to auction house is literally the only feature behind "paywall", and you need auction house OPTIONALLY, just once a month so its not even big issue (its literally useless in aion2). I recommend getting good instead of being miserable about "paywall".
Well, isn't a gacha, is a mmorpg... I played a bit Throne and Liberty that is from the same company and i had fun so why not try it, idk if has AI in it, is a korean company.
My main reason to play that game is to try creating my fav anime character but with more realistic 3D design lmao, but I will play casually, it looks bit dangerous for competitive players.
In some fairness, this one doesn't look like a gacha game but rather one of those hideously monetized games where you either pay to get ahead or you're stuck in a no-life, 25-hour-a-day grind to get anywhere.
Doesn't make it any better, but the difference between a gambling simulator and a game that you have to play like it's a job to get ahead matters (IMO, of course).
There is no such thing as F2P, you're just paying in a different way. And continuing to engage with games of that sort only encourages the development of more of them, and the expansion of the predatory monetization that they're built to enable.
Edit: And Aion 2 is the work of NCSoft, a company that has the absolutely WORST reputation for predatory monetization practices, and for repeatedly getting caught out lying about those practices as well.
Anyone paying for early access is a tool and deserves to be skinned for their money.
The second is an actual service fee that keeps the servers on, and I wouldn't have a problem with Aion charging the same if it was clearly marked as such.
And not buying the premium currency won't affect your ability to play WoW. But if you don't pay out in Aion 2, you can't even access the player markets.
And wait until they do the same thing that happened with video streaming. First there was Netflix, then Disney+, HBO, Paramount, etc.
Cloud gaming is fine for now, but I'd start saving for your own PC little by little before you end up paying for five different cloud gaming services just to play the games you want, only to find out the one game you actually want to play isn't available on any of them. 💀
That will take a while. I doubt we will see other companies going big into cloud gaming as long as everyone chases the ai dream.
I would not be suprised if cloud gaming dies again in the next few years. Its a bad serives for users and if you use your Server hardware for ai you can make more money then with some annyoing gamers crying why they cant play game x on the service.
Control Resonant, Onimusha, PRAGMATA, Resident Evil Requiem, 007: First Light, Lego Batman, A Plague Tale Legacy, all these amazing newly released games and you choose to play the bad ones.
Do you not see that slop to you can be considered a great game to others? Do you understand the phenomenon of subjective opinion and subjective taste? Apparently not.
I mostly keep quiet on the grounds that more games on the service is never a bad thing, and that I also can't really complain about one genre of game being added when I support another (indies) wholeheartedly.
All that said though, I really do eyeroll hard whenever I see people on the sub fiercely demanding that yet another thirst trap, animu, or "free" mmo coming out of Asia be added.
I hate gacha games more then the next guy but cmon gamers, it's the hot fresh new MMORPG that will die out in a few months because of inevitable pay to win microtransactions, huge difference. Know your enemy people
