    As a fan of the original, I still haven’t played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.

    That being said, I also haven’t played any of the farming sim games, though that’s because they look incredibly boring–no offense to those who enjoy them, they’re just not for me.

    It’s not a games job to protect the children, but the parents job. It’s pretty weird we’ve got to this point here.

      Definitely. Can’t remember if it’s in the base game (update: no, it’s a mod) but it works like cotton and tobacco.

      It’s not farm sim, but Project Zomboid has some decent farming mechanics (and a shitload of mods). A lot of the very popular mods just add drugs into the game. A couple of those highest rated ones add a ton of weed stuff to the game (papers; grinders; bongs; pipes; farmable seeds and hemp with different strains, stages of growth, and even disease the plants can catch). Modders are wild.

    Funny comparison. One is a yearly multiplayer-ish release and the other is a sequel to a 13 year old singleplayer action game. I have no doubt AW2 could sell a ton more copies… but they’ve decided they don’t want that

    Who is the market for these simulator games? I don’t know anyone who plays them. They don’t look bad to me, but there must be a type of gamer I’m blind to.

    Edit: great answers thanks all.
