TERA Online, afterwards - Final Fantasy XIV Online. something about piles and piles, years and years of (still-updating) content scratches my completionist and lore-enthusiast part of brain.

"Where is the line drawn"? Where ever Microsoft/Mojang wants. They own the IP.

So, once again, don't use inappropriate mods in public servers.

Bethesda hosts mods for consoles for Skyrim and Fallout 4. Neither allow things they deem inappropriate. Treat a public server the exact same way.

Know why? Because public servers are PUBLIC. They don't want a kid hopping onto their children's game and seeing anime tiddies brewing beer inside a horse's nutsack.

Path of Exile. 4,000+ hours and still not bored.

Yeah, and a lot of PS5's there were out there weren't even in the hands of people who actually wanted to buy and play games on them. They were in the hands of scalpers. And after some people dropped their $1000 out of desperation to get one, they had barely any money left to buy games with.

A lot of launch and first year games probably got hammered sales-wise. Read a lot of articles about how most PS5's were in the hands of scalpers instead of customers who would have purchased at least 2 or 3 games. Then, people who dropped $1000 or more on ebay probably couldn't afford more than 1 game for quite awhile.

They are fine for d6's, unless you're rolling a lot of them. Definitely wouldn't work well for other numbers of sides though. Great for people who buy dice just to collect cool looking ones though.

By pure hours played I would say Team Fortress 2. Over 6000 hours in that game over the last 15ish years

Hitman

Vampire survivors instant gratification and urge to keep playing even my Ex who doesn’t play many games got absolutely hooked on it

Just checked, not counting the cash shop (which does have some micro transactions) the recently removed, paid app Angry Birds has FOUR buttons going to their other games on the main menu. Four. Madness. All colorful and enticing (besides their logo, that is).

But where is the line drawn? It happened to a beer making mod and servers using it as mentioned. Also why do they allow other content that other games might consider 'inappropriate' but just not certain ones, why not ban all of it then?

They don't ban servers where you can shoot children in a school with guns or where you can basically be a suicide bomber but they ban stuff like beer and gore? There are even literal nsfw servers up which they are implied to know about but those never get banned, just vodka brewing and stuff they consider personally offends them.

Also why not put disclaimers on servers or make people need some sort of requirement then instead of blacklisting? Also I don't see how virtual beer is 'inappropriate' or gore?

Roblox has taken steps to this but mojang just bans.

It's weird - on one hand, it was really well received, so we'll received that Sony was willing to buy Housemarque.

But at the same time, the "gaming buzz" seems to.....not be there? The only reason I learnt it released on the PC was because somebody made a post about how silent the PC release was. Usually, when a hyped game comes out, you'd expect to see at least a couple of "guys, look at me play this" posts on something like the Steamdeck sub, but I've not seen that much buzz with Returnal, when comparing it against its critical acclaim, so...weird.

Servers?

Dude. Mods aren't sever dependant. You can play them all locally or with friends. If you're playing with something deemed inappropriate, taking it to a public online server is obviously a stupid idea.

It's a highly recommended game, not underrated. The PC port really makes it shine, playing at 120+ FPS with keyboard and mouse controls.

Why does Mojang blacklist servers with mods they want to shut down mods then though?

I wouldn't know. I'm part of the holiday PS5 crowd. It appears to be included in PS games catalog which is probably why it's easy to recommend now. Many people can try it without having to buy it.

I feel like I played this mission in super robot wars already lol.

They blacklist servers to stop mods they don't like from being used. It happened to quite a couple.

Like servers found with any mod they want taken down get blacklisted.

Just make requirements to access like Roblox is doing right now?

Their previous game, Nex Machina, is the underrated one.

Except Mojang can't stop mods from being made. At all.

Just use whatever mods you like. Boom. Done. Mission accomplished.

I hate game launchers as a whole. Just put the icon on my desktop and let me play. Stop making me open steam.

Returnal is quite a unique game, its Beksinski inspired world and its haunting ambience alone give me goosebumps... that is not something I say often.

That would just be Minecraft

I think that people lost the knowledge of the meaning of "underrated"
