If a selling point was drastically redesigned UX I might give it a go. I hate how much the menus force you to wait in the game. Going to islands is a pain. That dumbass bird’s dialogue takes FOREVER. Letting multiple people join your island at once would be nice too. The method to buy items and clothes is so slow. Let me buy that shit more quickly. Let me craft shit more quickly. Little things like that are the worst.

Also, having more things to do in multiplayer would be good. Like some mini games or something. You can sort of make your own but it’s so minor. Running around pitfalls can only be so fun.

Another killer feature would be letting us make outdoor buildings, but I doubt they’d do something that involved.

It wasn’t pointless of me to try and help you and others know the difference between copyrights and patents. It’s a very common misconception. It wasn’t detracting from your point, either. At no point did I argue that the game companies doing this are actually morally correct and that it shouldn’t bother you that the Nemesis System is patented or that Nintendo is patenting things like capturing monsters.

I’m not a man

It’s a common misconception. It’s not a big deal. Why are you being so defensive about me correcting it?

The difference does matter. Two copyrighted games can have similar mechanics. Just look at literally any pair of games in the same genre. First person shooting isn’t patented, so anybody can make an FPS game. They patented the nemesis system. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are copyrighted.

Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and patent infringement are all very different.

Patented, not copyrighted, but I think you double posted.

You mean patent. You don’t choose to copyright things or not, all media is inherently copyrighted. This comment is technically copyrighted once I hit send. It sounds like your referring to Shadow of Mordor’s/War’s Nemesis system being patented.

I remember seeing a joke once about what if Reddit added left votes and right votes with no explanation in addition to up votes and down votes.

Games that refuse to let you change the difficulty once you begin a game. More broadly, single player games that worry too much about preserving some sort of honor associated with doing well and make it annoying to play. Like rougue likes that have no save and quit for fear of people save scumming.

The thing I hate about parrying games is that there’s rarely ever any consistency about what you can and cannot parry and also never any way for you to learn if you’re parrying too early or too soon or what.

Gambling disorder is recognized by the DSM, this comment comes across as victim blaming and ableist.

My understanding is they refunded everyone who bought it.

Still dumb for them to do this, don’t mistake me.

I don’t think monetizing gambling addictions so others can play for free is a great argument.

Heaven forbid someone play your abandonware you’re not even selling.

I saw what I imagine is a tourist attraction demonstrating that it’s “true” but you can definitely see them rotate their arm in opposite directions. They unplug a sink that that carry across the equator.

I bought Anno 1800 through uPlay and, to be fair, the app is not too bad, but now that I’m on Linux idk if I’d be able to get it working again. Not that I necessarily have interest to play again.

Mario Kart 8 was previously at the fourth spot for best-selling games of all time (units sold), with the title pushing 78.02 million copies across the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Now Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken its place, and the only games ahead of it are Wii Sports with 82.9 million units (bundled with Wii U consoles), Grand Theft Auto 5 with over 220 million units sold-in to date, and in the first spot, we have Minecraft with over 350 million sold.

Modern touch screens work well enough to not really require styluses to feel good though. So modern styluses feeling annoying isn’t as big of an issue for most uses.

The comment said why not go open source, not why not go source available though.

I’d love to see that but realistically I don’t ever see it happening.

They’ve had something for quite a while now that made it so names weren’t changed between releases so stuff would work better. I don’t remember what it’s called. Like it used to be that a new version meant figuring out everything again.

Do you mean source available or actually open source?

Damn, Preston. This one really is different.

Fortress with Friends 2

I loved it, and don’t take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.

I think I need a band aid.

You want me to throw my shoe?

Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.

The image being so small makes it funnier.

Leveraged buyouts are so stupid to me. “Hi, I’d like to buy this company, but since it will be my company, the company needs to have the debt, not me. So if it goes wrong, well, that’s the company’s fault, not mine.” Should be illegal.

If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.

I don’t think about that stuff. If it’s a game or movie involving killing I suspend my disbelief. It’s only annoying when they suddenly do care about it.

You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.

I fucking hate Nintendo.

I thought this was about the ball throwing to capture monsters

What’s frustrating is that the thing that is arguably questionable (the art of some of the characters) isn’t what is the subject of anything. Nope. Ball throwing.

Prior art exists of that though so you wouldn’t be able to. I know you’re making a joke though lol.

I mean, an audio book of Outer Wilds would be dope.

No, sharing digital content is copyright infringement, but downloading it? Hey, how am I supposed to know this site isn’t legally allowed to give it to me?

If they have a legitimate complaint (bad translation), it’s not review bombing
