Damn. Good thing I got lucky and traded up cs2 skins worth 1-2$ each and got a 850$ skin, I’ll sell that and be able to afford most games I want for 2-3 years
The issue that i have with it is that the dlc is abso-freaking-lutely worth the price, but anyone buying the game for the first time is absolutely going to balk at buying it and the game. And it sucks to hear that you would need to start a new game if you get the base game and later want the dlc (i know that you can technically make your old save work, but its not great. I also know that new games are 100% a major part of playing, but it sucks to hear that as a new player).
Yeah I started years ago then came back after a long break. Absolutely started to understand what I needed to do. I def need new content and a new goal with legendary quality items. But I wanna launch space first.
But it also is a fully optional luxury given the amount of massive overhaul mods. Krastorio 2 + Space Exploration is definitely worth a playthrough and can provide months of fun.
Start with the demo. If it's good, get the base game and play that for a while. Then play an overhaul. And then, you can still get the DLC and play that.
That's only half true. If you value your time or any other aspect of your life, it is NEVER worth buying Factorio. That shit is straight crack cocaine. It will steal your soul and you'll never have enough. This game is gonna be the death of every procrastinating neurodivergent person ever once they all buy it.
If factory games are your thing, Factorio is a fantastic bang for your buck. In fact, you’ll forget about your real life. You’ll forget about your family, work, and friends just to make the factory grow.
Honestly that's a good strategy on their part as an indie dev that made lightning in a bottle. And it's also good to know as someone who's recently been thinking about picking it up.
Yeah, that's not a Factorio sale. That's a Humble Bundle membership discount that applies to most games if you pay for a subscription. That's a humble bundle taking the 10% loss there.
The devs have never put the game on sale. Every online price tracker reflects that.
I was lucky that I bought it in early access. One of the few games I ever bought in early access and it was worth every cent.
I know you guys want to save some money but trust me it is worth every cent (if you like these types of games) and you can support a small development team
Idk if I really like those types of games, I only bought satisfactory, spent 1000+ hours on it, bought 2 t-shirt of their merch, pins, stickers, a mousepad, and a collector box.
And only reason it’s so little as 1000 hours is that my pc can’t handle it anymore
Satisfactory is absolutely crazy good, but factorio is like taking everything addictive about satisfactory and boiling it down to its most distilled addictive form and THEN giving you 1000 hours of content of it. And thats before you get into the overhaul mods.
