The Cursed! This free content update for all owners will be available to play starting this week on October 23, 2024, and will last through to November 6, 2024
I’ve wanted this game for so long. I’m just too unsure if its worth the tag on steam. I’ve heard it was monotonous, is this true? Has it came a long way?
It’s on sale rn on steam for the lowest it’s ever been. I bought it a while back and I liked it but not as much as I thought I would. But honestly it’s still a good purchase. A game that keeps getting free updates and more content is great and I love booting the game up every once in a while to check it out
It’s well worth it. The game has come a long way and continues to go. So many free updates
Could someone eli5 to me old fart why it’s a good idea to restrict content to a certain time? Increase engagement, OK, but why so much effort to create content that disappears after two weeks?
To be clear, all the content isn’t actually restricted to a certain time, but playing the associated story or mission with that content is.
With that said, I do feel like it would be better if I could play any expedition missions when I feel like it.
This is what killed GW2 for me. Go offline for a month and you’ll miss shit forever. Otherwise great game, but I hated how episodic the story was.
For what it’s worth they’re not doing that anymore.
Oh, nice. How does it work now? Can you hop around between different gamestates, or are they just done putting out new stuff and the game stays as-is going forward?
You can activate episodic content as you like and jump around between seasons. It’s tied to the expansion so you buy it = you get the content. This is mostly story but some features / horizontal progression is locked until you complete it. I prefer that over the “you needed to be there when it was free now you have to pay” approach.
Yeah that sounds reasonable. Well shit, GW2 is back on my list! …I’m balls-deep into nursing school right now, so probably not a great time to dive into ANY game that’ll keep me distracted for longer than like a 10 min study break… which is the opposite of what an MMO is lol. But, bookmarked in brain.
