Starforge.

Number 1, always and forever.

Never again.
I feel like the motto should be: "Remain vigilant, avoid another Starforge incident."

None for me, because I refined my buying abailities decades ago.

I never buyanything without knowing exactly what I'm letting myself in for beforehand.

There are some games from indie bundles I've not touched but that's because I didn't rely on them.

In fact of the many thousands of games I have I can't remember the last time I bought a game that left me like this. Probably from the 1980s.

This reminded me on something.
Deathgarden bloodharvest.

it was a nice game. But then the developers changed things all the time to get more players. Achieved the opposite, and had the idea to close the game. After a few months.

It was a scam in my eyes. And stupid until that point. The initial game was good.

Yeah, sadly like so many things, even relatively simple procedures like mine can be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up by situations like this.

God bless digital games as a service eh?

I think HL was a good game back to 1998, but HL 2 was not really so great after the zombie level, more of the same, but with bigger maps.

Otherwise, I still feel scammed by Cyberpunk 2077 on day one, and Fallout 4 is really a bad RPG. At least they have mods, others have not this luck.

Fallout 4? Pretty watered down compared to previous Fallout games, but also much more atmospheric and accessible imo. May be more of a simple immersive sim than an actual rpg, but for that exact reason it became my favorite Fallout game. Fallout 1 & 2 are just too unrelenting and unforgiving, besides being horribly dated nowadays, and Fallout 3 is simply overrated imo. Only Fallout game that came close to being as enjoyable as FO 4 for me was New Vegas.
In the end I think that FO 4 is still a much better RPG than Skyrim ever was...

Well the pinnacle of TES was Morrowind. Oblivion was a step back, and Skyrim wasn't very good at all. FO4 was terrible. I bought into the hype and was totally done with it 7 hours in.

Fallout 3 and 4 are both examples of trying to simplify the older mechanics, making everything more generic and less special.

1, 2, and New Vegas are more complicated but they stand out much more once you understand them.

Enjoyed Morrowind even less than Skyrim because i found it to be extremely dated and stiff. Could barely motivate me to finish the main questline, just so i can say i gave morrowind a try and finished it at least once.
Morrowind came out the same year as Gothic II, my favorite RPG of all time, and Morrowind is inferior to it in every possible aspect imo.

Dunno, but the only Elder Scrolls game that I thoroughly enjoyed was Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls series in general doesn't seem to work for me...

Just curious, why did not like Black and White and Army Men? Not your kind of games?

Dpends on your point of view though.

I've seen this comment many times, and to some degree I agree too.

But the reality is that Morrowind was the pinnacle in that it was the most complex, but that doesn't always equate to better. Sure, you or I might think so, but that does not make great sales.

Oblivion I would say was the pinnacle or the foothold that pushed the series into the mainstream, and from a sales perspective and pleasing the public at large, that is definitely better by being more accessible.

Well the Army Men series was universally awful. It was a fairly poor cash grab series that had minimal effort put into it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops IV and the PC port of Sonic Generations (console originals are fine).

Whats wrong with Generations on PC?

Its the best version of the game. Optimized very well compared to most PC games, and the massive number of mods make it beat the console versions by miles.

Black and White was very interesting in concept, but i found the actual gameplay pretty boring. It's not a bad game, but not my cup of tea either.

Army Men is a similar case, interesting in concept, but very poorly executed. The controls ruin it for me basically.

I bought ark survival evolved. But could not get into it and only played for like 30 minutes. I bought it cheap with every DLC for like 60 bucks. but still I couldn't get into it

Unplayable. Starts ignoring input after about 10–20 minutes, tried with three different computers and around twelve different controllers, as well as keyboard. Have also tried the hotswapping mod. Not to mention the game itself only has Sonic playable and perhaps the worst story in a 3D Sonic game.
