I’ll also say fuck Asurion. They seemingly bricked my phone during a routine repair. Obviously they came up with a flimsy excuse for why it wasn’t their fault, but regardless I ended up walking out with a paperweight instead of a screen damaged but otherwise fully functional device. Would’ve been better off not seeking their service.
I also really liked this one. I’ve seen other people complain about aspects of the story, but I felt like the story hit me way harder than it had to to be serviceable.
There are five lights!

Thanks for your concern, but I think I understand my own enjoyment of things and my financial situation better than an internet stranger.
I’ve preordered two games in the last decade and I regretted neither (ME:LE and FO4). If I regret this one, I’ll get over it.
I was going to buy it anyways, even if it’s a mess. If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.
I actually haven’t preordered it and might not, but this is how I felt about Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Bethesda games are at the same tier for me. I have hundreds of hours in every game since Morrowind; I’ll eventually get my money’s worth.
This is a good feature to bring back to modern games. Anyone else remember F10 from Counter Strike?
I know buggy Bethesda games have become a meme at this point, but I feel like it’s very possible that this will be no more buggy than FO4 or Skyrim. Those games had their bugs, but I had way more trouble with bugs in Morrowind, Oblivion, and FO3. Now, janky physics or mechanics? I’m sure we’ll get some of that… And I can’t wait!
I wish that there was a way to take better advantage of the Steam Deck controller with this version. I bought a copy to check it out, as I don’t really like playing on mobile but would love to take it on the go. It was… Harder than just playing on my phone.
To the uninitiated: despite my comment, Cataclysm DDA is still worth trying out! Where else could you skateboard down the street naked while holding a plank covered with nails?
Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it’s easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It’s still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.
I’ve gotten my money’s worth for sure. I think I’m around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.
