@gunnyninja: Because you can drop nukes on other players.
I haven’t played since launch, but at least back then you could repair everything with just few button presses if you had the spare parts. Getting nuked wasn’t a real big setback. Maybe they’ve made it a bigger deal now.
@mooglestar: Sure, but you don't see anybody making sequels, which you would if there was significant money in it. Being a good game doesn't always mean it sells a bunch, especially on the smallest console base AND with Game Pass.
The System Shock remake is really good. That game was impressive as heck back in 1994, and it that 'figure it out on your own' style of dungeon crawl still holds up very well today with a graphical and UI overhaul.
And, as always, Total War Warhammer 3 continues to be my pick for PC game of the year. Every time I think I'm finally cooling off on that game, Creative Assembly releases another massive update and DLC, and I'm pulled right back in. The Thrones of Decay DLC is quite good.
Well, that's disappointing. Redfall was really bad though, so I'm not 100% shocked Arkane Austin is getting shutdown. If MS/Bethesda wanted live service multiplayer games, I'm not sure what they need with a traditionally single player, story driven game studio (or why they tapped them for a game like Redfall in the first place).
