I just find this funny. I was excited for DD2, but seeing the price, and the reviews, and the microtransactions, and the performance, and how they totally fucked it...I guess I'll just buy Peggle Deluxe for 1/70th of the price instead.

Who is your favorite Peggle character?

Buy Pacific Drive for $30. It's like STALKER but there's no mutants and you have a station wagon that is sort of alive.

I will add this to my next "check this out when it's half off" list, looks cool

It's dadcore af. You can literally spend hours just tinkering in the garage.

How does that part of the game compare to Jalopy? (assuming you've played that)

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't but the tinkering isn't super deep. The hours is mostly figuring out upgrades, outfitting, prepping for journeys and such. You can switch out panels, doors, tires, engine, and accessories (like extra battery/gas tank, resource scanner, etc.) Beyond that there's paint and decals you can apply by the panel. Here's mine right now.

It's probably comparable in complexity - Jalopy is all about keeping a Trabant running, and this is a dad game of a specifically sci-fi bent.

I enjoyed Hardspace: Shipbreaker a lot, so I figure I'll love this one when I eventually get to it lol
