In a quick break from the insanity in the real world, I thought I'd see what everyone was playing, or looking to play.
Being a huge X-Wing/Tie Fighter fan, I'd really like to play Star Wars: Squadrons, but I refuse to give EA money, and the developer pushing bullshit pronoun nonsense sealed the deal.
Instead, I'm about to start Yakuza Kiwami for the first time.
What are you guys enjoying right now?
Wow, already? I thought it might do well, apparently not. I didn't pick it up because I'm not much of an early adopter. I've gotten away from multiplayer anyway, they just offer me little fun anymore. I like to play too many different things and the multiplayer world has grown into requiring you to eat, sleep, and breathe their game anymore. I guess I'm just old.
It's a shame Squadrons seems to have bombed the campaign (if there's one at all). I'd have bought it later this year if the multiplayer seemed fun/fair or there was a great campaign mode. Oh well.
I'm checking the numbers from Steam Charts, they could very well be higher in-game: https://steamcharts.com/app/1222730
Maybe if we're lucky they'll eventually add modding support and/or a campaign/level editor. The fan base would jump at the opportunity to recreate all the X-Wing vs TIE Fighter era single-player campaigns for them.
I'm in a TIE Squadron community that has THOUSANDS of modded missions for the old sims. If EA opens it up, I expect very good things from the modding community.
