trader posted on february 18 2026 by asmiroth as per the prior post i don t tend to pick up premium games at launch in many cases i end up waiting for a promised dlc to launch as that often comes with a major balance patch think about diablo3 pre and post ros completely different games rogue trader fits this model it s a crpg which more or less means it s like baldur s gate you control a party of characters who go on a very long set of quests see stats go up and make character defining decisions almost always in an isometric type view bg3 pretty much perfected this model and everyone has been trying to find a niche along that path now warhammer40k comes with baggage it s a world of constant war where everyone is a shade of evil if you look at the d d alignment model there is no good there is no neutral the imperium where you reside is lawful evil anyone who says otherwise doesn t understand satire you play the titular rogue trader a sort of vanguard to the imperium conquering newly discovered planets and building a financial empire if you see it it s yours thankfully no spreadsheets to manage here along the way you ll collect a slew of party npcs that fit various classes and backgrounds deluded space wizards gun toting priests deranged blood worshipers and so on you start off inheriting a part of the galaxy and need to stabilize it along the way bad stuff happens you can be dogmatic be lawful evil heretical chaotic evil with space madness or an iconoclast which is frankly more pragmatic than good now crpgs in general prefer an iconoclast approach and first time players are going to see more here heretical is hard mode dogmatic makes sense about 20 of the time e g purging a planet that s converted to madness and dumb the rest of the time e g an ally offers you their services for free and you shoot them instead the writing is thematically aligned to 40k very lengthy and full of complicated terms it works quickly the companions here are well done and thematically resonant they have very little interaction between them but their individual perspectives and side quests are all quite interesting who you bring along on the journey is personal choice unless you re on the hardest difficulty mechanically the combat is a bit of xcom with action points cover and bg with various skills it s often your team of 6 against a dozen or more enemies ae attacks and multiple single target attacks per turn are key generally this works well more in a bit but there reaches a point where compounding levels and skills make you effectively run in god mode with some crazy op builds it can get a bit much and overly complicated but it works inventory is weird still trying to make sense of any of it your bag will be filled with generic items that have a 2 5 stat difference but they have a very big integration with skills heavy bolters may deal less damage on paper but with the proper build they are infinite bullet machines keeping track of all of this is complicated not to mention actually finding items that fit a build ymmv the stats and builds though that is a friggin mess every level you re given a set of options often 30 or so that you can select from in a list a list you can t easily see dependencies or syngergies and each one of them practically requires you to scroll to read the definitions on the one hand congratulations on having so many skill options on the other you can see how this is practically impossible to balance i keep thinking of path of exile s skill tree and build options it s just so much min maxers will love this but it is absolutely a challenge in terms of broader appeal stat geeks rejoice note the scrollbar on the list of talents side note you remember the d d issue with quadratic growth for mages in that a warrior hit very hard and was sturdy for a few levels while a mage was a wet tissue and then they acquired a few tier 4 spells and turned on god mode that model is here too melee is dramatically limited in damage and movement by the mid point ranged ae attackers can clear an entire field with multiple tools and turns i mean i still love the bladedancer cause they can decimate 5 weaker enemies in a single turn and it looks damn cool i can also shoot an arc rifle at the same group and ae them all for triple the damage then get another free shot for the next group on the other half of the map there are a multitude of other systems in here that work at various levels space combat is meh space exploration has overly complicated but absolutely nails the thematic pieces merchants are amazing where if you have reputation with them and a given profit factor that measures overall wealth you simply by the thing i really like this model is this game better than bg3 no and it s not trying to be which is actually refreshing it can easily take you 100 hours to get through a single playthrough and very few games ever offer that these days replay value is iffy as it s less about build diversity than story choices well i guess that particular statement is a matter of perspective with so many skills to choose from still the question boils down to is it any good and is there value an absolutely emphatic yes to the first part the game is quite good it has quirks and leans heavily into the theme and frankly may be the truest 40k game out there as a result value is subjective but consider this it s 100hrs of content with voice acting and quality writing throughout it has meaty dlc and is on a banger sale i think there s a lot of value and i am rather picky on these sort of things share this

uncategorized leave a comment obsidian sales targets posted on february 6 2026 by asmiroth not often i comment on news but interesting article all the same avowed outer worlds 2 didn t meet sales targets the poe setting will continue but not likely to see outer worlds do the same which makes me ponder why avowed i liked this game as it delivered a ton on nice beats in a decent ip it had a fair chunk of accolades available on a bunch of platforms and had a really good post launch buzz it had a month s head start on clair obscur it peaked at 20 000 on steamdb which is slightly lower than poe2 it was priced as a sort of premium game maybe the targets were too high outer worlds 2 this game is still on my wishlist and frankly it launched in the mess of other games that took my attention there wasn t much buzz here at least as compared to the first game you could get the first game plus all dlc spacer s choice for a damn good deal it peaked at the same level as the original which is the same as the other one the price point though what the flying fart clair obscur this game was priced at 60 of outer worlds 2 and 40 of avowed it peaked at 7x the amount of both of the others it was also quite clearly better than the others game industry over the past 2 years about 30 of the us game industry has seen layoffs that is a wild statistic sure there s the post pandemic slump but there are other factors sources of funds have dried up game companies are spending way too long making games with less meaningful returns gamers are primarily spending their times in the same 10 game today as they did for the past 3 years roblox fortnite top that list the lower end of gaming is chock full of slop that can t be triaged 50 games launch each day on steam and the middle tier has to really do something amazing to get any buzz going and you know the whole everything is more expensive and i need to chose between food and games thing going on point being the market is saturated and there s a limit to how much anything can actually sell in the current climate steam this is an important factor one that has impacted the general psyche of gamers steam has a wishlist function and nearly every game goes on sale at some point some publishers will drop their price by 30 or more within a month looking at you ubisoft and very few games launch nowdays in a functional state you are almost always better off waiting a week for a major kitchen sink patch before diving in the only reason to buy something now is a sense of fomo which is insanely hard to predict on top of it that fomo has to compensate for the price of admission for every elden ring there are hundreds of other premium games with much less to offer value which is the ultimate factor in any buying decision which is arguably mostly perception sure you can math this out on the aggregate manage some trends get the buzz and ride a sweet spot that lasts a few days or weeks my persona preference here is somewhat straightforward and related to the relationship between price and content 5 generally not much thought here it needs some decent reviews and be between 2 10 hours of stuff 10 this is generally reserved for ea games and in areas i have a gaming interest 20 my personal sweet spot anything that has decent reviews and can keep me entertained for about 20 hours 40 this is reserved for aaa games on sale so i tend to only spend this during the winter summer sales 60 extremely rare that i will spend this much on a game it has to be near perfect or a game i know i will devour clair obscur for sure here monster hunter wilds too not much else i don t think that obsidian necessarily made a mistake here their targets are clearly from microsoft corporate who can t seem to figure much out of late avowed is a solid game outer worlds 2 seems to be as well neither are priced at a point where the perceived value is high enough to generate enough sales to meet some exec s target i m hopeful some level of sanity gets applied here and a more realistic approach is used instead in the simplest of statements make games that cost less share this share on x opens in new window x share on

base building posted on february 4 2026 by asmiroth the core of any factory game is well building a factory starrupture tweaks the model a bit material to build a base is extremely simple it s a single item type super easy to transport if satisfactory had this it would be a 10 10 game for me placing a building requires you to be consistent with the z axis height and cannot float in the air stability this is the only factory game i know of with this restriction and is a challenge i ll explain later basically this limitation restricts any creativity or mega bases each base starts with a base core it allows building in a square radius in particular allowing mining buildings to be placed it also has a max amount of building points that enables protection from the hourly fire waves you can upgrade the core but doing so triggers continual enemy waves which have poor mechanics at this time so level 1 it is you can also build habitats which protect you from fire waves give a respawn point allow personal crafting research and a few other bits easy to build easy to stack these are needed for exploration acting as save points each base needs power solar to start and then wind later set it and forget it which makes it a pointless mechanic currently i m sure it will change right now to the actual buildings smelters do what you think they refine basic material simple ratios standard output fabricators allow up to 2 inputs and make basic material furnaces allow 3 mega press allow 4 you ll want storage buffers present they are small enough in footprint cargo dispatchers send things to cargo receivers build the receiver first throughput here isn t spectacular but it works orbital launchers send things to space in order to progress in content think simpler space elevators it works well rails though rails are something else they work in 3d and they clip meaning they cannot overlap there are 2 ranks currently 120 240 items a minute they are directional and can loop onto themselves importantly the work on a pull mechanic meaning they only have content on them if a building requires it if rails are saturated as you would with belts you have some serious issues to work out an attempt at a clean base mega base vs mini base scaling a base requires two things space to build and modularity for re use blueprints only add speed to the building process starrupture doesn t provide space both due to the world terrain and base core limits oh you can build a dedicated base to a level 8 item but not to 2 of them modularity is the next bit in that a template needs to be applied the issue here is rails if you build a single rail to transport what you need sort of a sushi belt it will either get jammed with other requests of generate a pile of spaghetti if you build dedicated rails per input for sure you are going to have clipping issues 4 rails into a mega press that takes up a crazy amount of space to build and requires so much clicking to make the vertical portion work recall that in factory games add compounding amount of material requirements per level level 1 may need 10 things level 8 requires 1 000 that means bigger factories the end result is that you re much better off building bases that are dedicated to level 6 items which can be relatively compact the challenge then is about inputs and outputs ideally you use cargo shipping it works well for advanced items not so much for basic material except helium you need this for helium sushi rails work at low volume this model works well enough up to the world engine looking at the item tree past that what seems to be the result is a massive amount of drones shipping material across the map curious how this work long term share this share on x opens in new window
