So Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was supposed to launch today but so far only YouTubers have been able to play it, everyone else is getting failed log ins, they even tried a queue system but that's fucked too.

Reminds me of Payday 3 that launched almost a year ago, you couldn't get on it the first day if you were a Gold Edition buyer. They added a Solo mode but you still need to connect to Online to use it.

Hasn't been a good week for gaming

it's one of the few things that irritates me about the Hitman: World of Assassination.

i get it for games that are designed to be multiplayer, like payday, but it still sucks.
Every time I'm left alone my misery begins to drown me.

Astro Bot and Space Marine 2 say hello.

But yeah, always online is bullshit.
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

Came in to mention Hitman. There's absolutely no point in it being online only. You can't even access stuff you've unlocked if you're not online. You're stuck with the limited default load out.

I guess it's because of the leaderboards, but who cares about them really outside a relatively few amount of players? I'm sure the top scores are due to hacking or glitching anyway.

I was thinking more along the line of Concord but Astro Bot does look decent, haven't looked much into Space Marine 2.

Not being able to pause while I'm playing single player is bullshit

They're just attempts to diminish consumer ownership and soak money in way possible on otherwise low-quality products.

I agree. I don't buy online only games.
I'm surrounded
As someone who didn't get access to reliable high-speed home internet until my mid-30's, I've always had a massive grudge against always-online games. I would probably love Fallout '76 now that it's had all its post-release improvements, but I just can get over that general grudge against always-online.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
