Me and my buddy are using different system now. I'm in PC and he's in PS5. We were playing Genshin and it started to be very boring. Do you guys know any games that support crossplay, free or paid, that are good.

No shooting games please.

Thankss :)

I hear it’s an amazing game but it’s hard not to also call it a cash grab considering it’s $70 with a cash shop that has single items over $20

    think of the d4 cash shop as cosmetics that don't affect you and lets people who do want them fund your free DLC in the future of the game

    personally I kinda like this model over the loot box filled nightmare it would have been if it released in 2017 ish and also over the DLC mess diablo 3 was

    They do affect me.

    The fact that they're paywalled means that they aren't earned by playing the game, which means that whether I pay for them or not my experience is much, much worse. Earning cool shit is the core gameplay loop of a game like Diablo.

    My favorite model for cosmetics was when they were just a part of the game you unlocked for free by playing it. Anyone else remember those days?

    Fuck these greedy corporations lol

    I recently finished Control after upgrading my 3570k (to actually be able to play a modern game at acceptable settings) and found it really refreshing that a newer game gives you cosmetic outfits for playing the damn game. It's a game that doesn't really finish once you complete the story so I can see myself continuing it with my new clothes once I get bored of TOTK.

    Yeah I mean I’m just old but I preferred games the way they were 20 years ago, when all those cool cosmetics were in the base game, and they released paid expansions later
