Anything good in the Steam sale? Do new games still exist? Clearing out the backlog? Still waiting for CS Source 2? :marseysal:

Still waiting for CS Source 2

yeah I thought it would drop whenever the most known streamers were suddenly playing together but nada

Also some bad news, me and my friends won't be at iem cologne this year and even though I hoped '18 wouldn't be the last (the one navi won against big) one I'd attend, deep down I knew I would never go to another big cs tournament again .... it's so over (real)

As for vidya, I've started clearing my backlog of unplayed steam games and I'm now 'stuck' playing Pillars of Eternity and while it's too early to give an accurate review of the game, I think they went too hard on the world building and narrative. You're spammed with long pages of lore for things nobody cares about and there is so much flavour in everything that it ends up being meaningless, boring and ultimately uninteresting. I wish game developers would realize that having entire books filled with made-up words doesn't make the story of a game particularly interesting. Eventually, you just end up walking from place 1 to place 2, doing things you don't care about for people you don't care about as none of it seems to matter anyways.

Books are one thing, they're optional, but having conversations drag on forever :marseylongpost2: is bullshit. How's that Dork Souls Has maybe 1 hour of recorded dialogues and average gaymer can figure out the overarching plot more or less, but Obsidianstrags can't write a succinct dialogue since mid 2000s.

I want to play their latest releases somewhere in the future so I'll pretend you are just clueless and therefore obviously wrong although I know you're definitely correct with your assessment.
