Sometimes it's best to use acronyms because names like Shooter Tactical Action Life Killing Enemies RPG: Shadow of Chernobyl are just too long.

is this coupon thing normal in Humble Bundle now?
Yeah, they usually include older games in the bundle while giving a coupon for the latest game. Not always, but it's been a trend for a while.

That or the most recent DLC. They'll give you most of the DLC except the latest one or two and then have coupons for them.

This is why I fucking hate video games, they appeal to the male fantasy of cute girls with nothing on but an apron making video games.

Don't become a game dev. Take your skills and instead go corporate, you'll have better hours, pay, benefits and won't have to worry about creeps on the internet stalking you.

Unless you're a visual designer, in which case lmao you're fucked anyway.

RPGs have always been a, fundamentally, shit genre.
Good RPGs don't actually exist, they're all just different shades of shit on diarrhea mountain.
This would be correct if Gothic didn't exist.
Gothic is an action game posing as an RPG.
You can beat it without investing any points into any skills or attributes.
Hmm...how do you survive fights if you don't get better combat moves or spells? Do you avoid fights? Save scum?

Most, if not all, enemies have gaps you can exploit due to wonky animation.

I don't remember being able to do damage at all, let alone that much per hit, at beginning levels.
IIRC in Gothic 1 there was no minimal damage, you either did enough damage to beat enemies' resistance or you didn't do any damage.
In 2, regardless of how tanky enemies are, you can inflict 5 damage which is the minimum.

And people call The Witcher and Dark Souls rhythm games...

Remember, the more games you have in your backlog you haven't even started, the bigger chance you'll end up in hell, along with all other sinners.

Purgatory forces you to 100% all games that you own before you can go to heaven.

Sweet, now that I don't have to worry about heaven it's time to have some fun.

I'm gifting 100 random Codexers copies of Veilguard. Have fun in Purgatory niggers.
