I just started playing Stories yesterday in order to learn Japanese. It’s wild how different some of the names are. Hopefully the language barrier will keep me occupied until Wilds is released.

I’ve been playing since Freedom 2 and have played almost all of them to at least village completion. Exceptions are Tri and Frontier(s?). Def my favorite series by far and even if they have had their failed experiments, I’m glad they tried them.

I’ve tried fair share of clones as well but they usually don’t hit the mark.

This would be a perfect spot to advertise that EU petition. There must’ve been at least 1 person who liked the game and now can’t play anymore.

Well I already run an adblocker in 1 game so I guess another won’t hurt. At least after I’m actually willing to update. (Yes there is a mod that does that)

Oh I do play it regularly as well but I would never let a minor setback like this to gate me from one of my favourite games.

You can download old depots from Steam and even keep games from updating. Very useful if you want to try outdated mods or prevent devs like Beat Games from forcing monthly updates on you.

Not really excusing Gearbox since I like to think that I’m sane but the game is really good. They really should’ve released the update as a beta first.

Why? They are not live service games.

If the meat of the game is in it’s multiplayer, then you just need to be declared as the grand champion.

Weirdly enough that’s how I’ve always pronounced it because of the amazing language: rallienglanti (it’s English read out loud in Finnish way)

What’s the unknown line? Some Chinese OS or browsers with all info excluded?

It forces me to sit upright and have good posture.

You’re not stubborn enough.
