Had the pleasure of playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 past couple of weeks.
Might be my favourite game on release since RDR2.
Some other contenders like Cyberpunk 2077 & Baldur's Gate 3 had enough bugs & performance issues to sour the taste. Not KCD2.
@DanielOlimac Although you put it extremely bluntly, I agree. But I do think the gameplay is much more important than the shortcomings in other departments, so I wouldn't give it such a low score.
@AkiraToriyama Veilguard isn't a good game & I didn't like how restrictive some of the sliders were. But the face sliders did allow a lot of freedom. I just think the presets are extremely bad, you start with a bad foundation.
CHAT CONTROL IS COMING
Even though most Members of the European Parliament have voted to REJECT Chat Control, we have not been able to reach the absolute majority that was needed (361 Members).
This is a sad day for Europeans.
First it was chat control, then they wanted age verification, now it’s device scanning. Next up is telling you what you are supposed to watch.
NOOOO, the stuff everyone warned about totally isn’t the stuff that is happening.
Now I already hate the fact that Chat Control 1 is a thing, but there's discussions regarding an even stricter Chat Control 2 as well (CSA Regulation (CSAR)).
Btw, does anyone know where to follow news regarding either? I can only find what seems like third party sites 😅
Chat Control 1 (Regulation (EU) 2021/1232) was a temporary law to allow companies a right to voluntarily scan messages, which has now expired.
It was already in effect but there are efforts to bring it back even though extensions were rejected.
@ALegendaryDrops "Jump in, use all the cheat codes ... kill everyone get my ass kicked by the cops, and then I quit"
Honestly this is how I see so many of my friends playing lmao. Just without quitting. Still, I think for me the important part in a GTA would just be the story.
Gacha company got bullied by crazed fanatics to the point they just cancelled a future character.
Wild. This sort of behavior is frustrating to see even from the outside looking in. Both from the fans & the company.
A Letter to All Players
Dear Miss Hunters,
We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.
As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.
As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:
1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.
2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.
3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.
4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.
To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.
Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.
Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.
Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.
Linkon City will always be here for you.
Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.
#LADSValkoCanceled
@stalker_thegame It annoys me that you're asking for 5€ extra with no sales essentially. It's just an unnecessary feels bad moment.
Even the complete edition is 72€ regardless of me owning all the games.
@stalker_thegame Could y'all fix Deluxe & Ultimate edition pricings since you never put 'em on sale anyhow.
Deluxe+ultimate upgrades cost 55€. The Ultimate Edition bundle forces Stalker 2 repurchase & won't even give an extra copy.
Base + Ultimate Edition = 115€ at cheapest for old game owner
The PS5 apparently has 100 GB discs, and it still doesn't fit into 2 of 'em? Honestly just make a big chungus box with 3 discs at this point.
Not only is this game launching at 80€, the physical version is a digital version in a box lol.
This was something they apparently expected to happen, but they still have plans to ammend SKG to the Digital Fairness Act. So hopefully there's still something good to look forward to.

No proposed changes. No plans for changes.
Looks to me they are completely content on companies making live-service games unplayable as long as there's some sort of contract for it that is followed through.
They will have talks to encourage "longer lifespans" for games. Great.
Today, the @EU_Commission replied to the European Citizens Initiative "Stop Destroying Videogames".
New legislation will not be proposed, but exchanges will be initiated with consumers & industry to improve the management of videogames' end-of-life.

Btw:
The initiative doesn't ask publishers to keep online servers up indefinitely. Just solutions to prevent games from becoming entirely unplayable.
It's something that's been stated a million times, but people bring it up as a reason why the initiative is bad.
@Dro0zzy@iKaito_1 Maybe you just needed Lacrimosa?
My rosters are all like Lv. 60-70 mix & I don't follow guides.
- Hotori, Hathor, Zero, Mint cleared in like 2.5-3 mins
- Lacrimosa, Sakiri, Fadia & Daffodil was always a bit faster.
@iKaito_1 Honestly if someone has time they could math out how many days the characters take to max.
ZZZ for example takes 35 days per 1 character if you don't account for events or gamemode rewards. WuWa was a bit faster, like 25 days if I recall correctly.
