To be honest, having been in the exact same situation with other games, I think the problem is you.

I’ve played Warframe for hundreds of hours, I never once felt forced to spend money. I had fun with my friends, we were farming the Frames we wanted, at our pace.

While I get your point, I think you should really consider WHY you want to spend money. What’s you goal with the game ? Are you at least having fun playing it, or are you achieving a list of chores as fast as possible in order to feel the achievement of having 100% the game ? If it’s the later, it’s a never ending quest. There won’t be pride at the end, just frustration, and wasted money.

Did you find a satisfying solution for the doorbell?

I’m about to entirely rework my home automation to use HA + Matter + Zigbee, but I’m still using a Ring Doorbell.

I’m honestly surprised at all the hate this game is getting. I don’t know if what I’ve been seeing on social networks is a very vocal minority, or if I’m in the minority.

I liked HZD story and universe, didn’t care much for the gameplay (felt too much like Ubisoft). I tried HFW but didn’t play more than a few hours, it felt like a forced sequel, the story arc was complete at the end of HZD, and the gameplay was as boring as the first one. To this day, I still don’t get how anyone could be excited about a third game, which would just be more of the same.

I’d be way more excited by a totally new IP from Guerilla, and maybe a different type of game. Or a return to killzone.

When I heard of a monster hunting game set in the horizon universe, I was intrigued. After seeing the reveal, I have two major gripes: I don’t like the characters animation, and I don’t like the fact that I won’t be able to create my own character. I’m also not sure about the time limited aspect of it, but we’ll see. Still willing to give the game a chance, and see how they will act on the feedback.

This is such a wild take. « I buy the steam deck because I am informed and smart, they buy the switch 2 because they’re nostalgic impulsive morons ».

Has it ever occurred to you that not everybody is you, and people have different tastes ? Some gamers want to play the latest COD, others are Final Fantasy super fan, and others want to play Zelda and Mario. Most people even just play on a smartphone! (Disgusting, I know).

Your lack of basic awareness of what an individual is is astonishing. May I never meet and have to talk to someone like you again.

I had no idea iMDB was anything more than a hobby project that got huge.

This is the anti musk circlejerk, I’ve seen countless articles like this being posted here, and the cohort of brainless haters always follow.

I have a Tesla, not because I like musk (dude is human garbage), but because I like the car. Only a moron wouldn’t be able to find the manual door unlock. At this point this is either trolling or natural selection.

So that may explain their recent commitment to release games also on XBox.

After a few years jumping from MMO to MMO, my GF and I are currently playing WoW.

From what we tried (all of this is purely subjective opinion):

• TESO: The game is very good, but the universe quite classical, and frankly became boring to us.
• GW2: Again, a great game. The universe is overall more interesting, and the game has zero friction (you can always play together, do things you want, in the order you want). However, the game is quite old and it starts to show.
• New World: A fantastic potential totally wasted. The game looks amazing, the world is definitely the most beautiful and immersive of any mmo I played. We spent hours and hours running around, collecting resources, chopping trees, etc. However, the content is lacking, the game quickly becomes repetitive, and the dungeons were, in my opinion, too difficult for casual players. It became boring after a few days.
• FFXIV: The game is designed as a classic FF adventure with a MMO at the end. You WILL have to go through all the main story to unlock all the content. If you're looking for a narrative adventure to play together (and you're into jrpg storytelling), this is the game for you.
• World of Warcraft: This game is often overlooked, but it remains a solid option. The game is really fun to play together, there's always something to do (quest, dungeon, PVP, world event, gathering), and flying on dragons is really fun. You can also carry a passenger, convenient when playing together. However, the graphic style is quite unique (I love it, but it might not be to your taste), and it's sometimes confusing for new players to know where to go next (years of expansion have broken the overall coherency of the world).
• Black Desert Online: Fantastic graphics, best combat system of any MMO in my opinion. Tons and tons of things to do: quests, crafting, managing your nodes, capturing and raising horses, fishing, etc. The main problem of the game is that all those systems were quite grindy when we played it.

You should probably start by watching some gameplay together, and see which universe/style is more appealing to you.
