  • Long story short, Motion Twin gave the game to Evil Empire around 2019 (iirc) to handle its development, so they are the ones who made every update and expansion from the first dlc onwards.

    After like 5 years of DC being developed by EE they released the “the end is near” update, but said that it was not the last update and that they were working on more stuff, including wrapping up the story.

    Then Motion Twin announced a new game, and shortly after they cancelled any work in DC. The goodbye posts included some shutouts to the new game, so the cancellation of DC was seen as trying to kill any competition to their new game. One ex-dev said that MT were being a bunch of dicks to EE and claimed that the cancellation was indeed to give more attention to the new game.

    • STALKER
    • Disco Elysium (awesome game, but the studio got into shady stuff and the game creators were booted. Just pirate it).
    • Commandos
    • Tzar
    • Imperivm
    • Tropico 3
    • Noita
    • Satisfactory

    • Europa Universalis
    • Crusader Kings
    • Hearts of Iron
    • the Witcher 1, 2, 3 (the 3rd one is the best)

    KCD might be up your alley, it’s pretty fun if you like RPGs.

    The Witcher 3 has nice combat, is 3rd person, story driven without a ton of stats and has nice graphics.

    New Vegas has serviceable gunplay (it’s old and not super good as a shooter) but is very good when living in its world, doing quests, etc. There are some numbers, though.

    Youa said no Ubisoft, but far cry 2 and 3 are good.

    Crysis 1 is awesome and I hate that cryrek COD-ified Crysis 2.


  • It depends. Do you want to play witch 2 exclusives and don’t have a pc? Then switch 2, you don’t have an option there.

    Do you want to play 3rd party games or nintendo preswitch (and actually some switch games too)? Deck, the games will be cheaper, you can buy bundles, you won’t have to pay for online, you can install from steam, gog, epic, etc. It’s a pc.

    As you already have a switch, I’d wait on the 2 if you don’t need to play MK World right now. If you wish you could play PC and older console games on the go get a deck (I did and it’s great) but if you don’t care much about the PC backlog you can just wait until the 2 has some more exclusives our and/or you cand find it cheaper. I’m currently revisiting some PS2 games alongside newer indie titles and it’s very cool.






  • And it’s not like a single player game gets worse over time. The player count is totally irrelevant and if 2 years from launch nobody is playing it it doesn’t affect your experience at all.

    This is a loss for Warhorse and a win for anyone that doesn’t need to play it now.


    • If you want to torrent files, you need to subscribe to an exclusive private tracker. To get access to a private tracker, you need to get lucky, or you need to go through a painstaking process of levelling up over months and months of seeding torrents from semi-private trackers until you get to an actual good one that may or may not have the content you are looking for.

    Uh, no. Tpb, rutracker, nyaa… Work well. If you want more curated stuff then yes, private trackers might be worth it, but you can still find a ton of things on public trackers.

    • Whether you are using torrents or UseNet, you need a service to help you find the content in the first place, for example Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr. Something called Jackett also fits into this somehow and apparently links to whatever indexes you are using.

    No. You can just search in one of the trackers and add the torrent to your download client.

    • If you are torrenting, you then need a torrent client such as qBitTorrent to actually get the files.

    Yes, obviously. If you want to ddl you’ll likely need a web browser, too.

    I just wanna have my own home streaming service.

    If you don want to automate it then just search for stuff manually and move your downloaded media to your library folders like it has been done since forever.
