Nah, fuck Thor — he could have been the YouTuber pushing for coverage of Stop Killing Games, instead he decided to double down on his stupid bullshit.

Reminder — he was a Blizzard employee for 7 years. I think that, plus his ‘my shit doesn’t stink and if you think it does, you’re wrong and banned’ attitude should give you all you need to know.

from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

Reading comprehension is hard. I get it.

Yes that’s the problem, he doesn’t know a lot of things. He also doesn’t seem very keen on learning them.

He’s young, so I still have hope for him but god damnit he’s stupid and a potential hazard apparently.

Holy fuck I did not know about Overwolf. That’s the last time I download something from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

Probably my favorite game, and I’ve played a lot of games

It’s a bad game

So then why don’t they have regular bulletins in their games showing ‘Look, look! These features will be coming by xx/xx/xxxx!’ ?

Things set the timeline back? ‘Oh no! Looks like we won’t be releasing this on that date, it will actually be this date!’

Seems like a non issue for anyone with a 6th graders capacity for interacting with other humans. These are IT folks, with the added layer of gamers to boot — though. Anticipating motivations and responding to others input isn’t exactly a strong suit.

Edit: oh, beyond that — I have very little sympathy for a developer of a content drip. You’re out for the money, don’t whine when people inevitably get sick of waiting for a little more of something they’ve already gotten maximum enjoyment out of.

The only reason I say 80% is because you can still have fun using the super shotgun to kasplode demons even if it is the most pathetic super shotgun.

It feels like a DOOM movie. I was genuinely excited for the cutscenes because I thought something actually cool would happen, only to get sucked into to yet another railroad dragon section, even worse railroad mech section, or mission filled with ‘kill enemies to break shields’.

Idk, the ‘stand and fight’ gameplay stopped being fun when I realized that 80% of the guns were just functionally worthless and parry spam + impaler would solve all, not some, all of my problems. For 20 hours. Of basically the same mission objectives over and over and over.

I’m just gonna go back to playing Eternal if I want DOOM. ID fucked up DOOM 3, again (IMO).

Edit: I’ve beaten every DOOM on nightmare. If Eternal had ammo economy issues (which is a hill I will die on, even the newbies I got into Eternal didn’t struggle with ammo) then Dark Ages has an overabundance problem. Why would I ever switch weapons when I have the ammo economy of Eternal on crack and switching weapons puts my shield down? Why play a DOOM game if not for all the different weapons to kill demons with?

Edit used disclaimer incorrectly, should have said something like:

Noteworthy point: I’ve beaten every modern doom on nightmare.

This doom game is such a departure from the doom series that it is just a bad game.

The game can be beaten with a single gun and parry. Every single time I ‘struggled’ it was because I was playing the game to have fun (silly me) and wasn’t spamming shield. Every single encounter ended almost immediately once parry spam was activated.

The final boss literally did not touch me. This game was a really really bad joke.

Edit: I am genuinely convinced there is a fleet of shills portraying this game as good and a lot of old people influencing it. Like, they downgraded the game to a fucking boomer shooter. This game gave me destiny vibes, in that it was a very pretty cake only to find that it was filled with shit.

Edit 2: I forgot the most important part; there isn’t a single difficulty related achievement. I know, because I beat the game on nightmare.

No, but kids under 16 are hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.

Night media is a talent agency that was associated with Mr. Beast (you know, during his most popular years) and is still associated with Asmongold (you know, propaganda pointed at young men).

Hasan Piker is the son of a billionaire from Turkey. While I don’t know the specifics of how much money he’s received from him, if any, that doesn’t really matter. The man is a multi millionaire who has made his money on a platform that is absolutely riddled with propaganda mouthpieces. Many people do not see an issue with this, I do.

He also really loves to claim he’s a socialist, yet is a multi millionaire (after buying him and his family a 2.7 million dollar home in L.A.). Too many things don’t add up for me, so I stopped watching him.

All that being said, idk what’s in his heart of hearts. He might not be a bad guy, I might be assuming the worst. Make of it what you will.

Not the guy. I’ve watched a decent bit of Hasan and if you only listen to what he says, not examine what he does or who he does it for, then he probably seems like a champion for leftist causes.

That being said, he works for Night Media and definitely does not put his money where his mouth is. I personally dislike the hypocrisy.

Devil May Cry comes to mind, as well. If I’m not mistaken that game was entirely developed with Western audiences as the target demographic.

Edit: The game is gorgeous for me, I’m not surprised older builds are struggling. I didn’t mean to be a dick about it.

Fair enough

But NBA Jam is a game, not a bundle of perverse incentives disguised as a game.

Idk, I very rarely ever see a 10/10 on Steam. Gonna go ahead and trust the hype on this one.

Yeah, it’s easier to make decisions when you don’t have to think about them anymore.

I’m sorry but I genuinely don’t care what game journalists think. Their opinions are about as valuable as mud, and at least I can grow plants from mud.

Every single discussion I see searching up on Google ‘is Outer Worlds good’ are sponsored reviews from people who got the game for free, or B average reviews from people who got the game for dirt cheap. When I find what real people have to say about Outer Worlds, it’s almost unanimous that it was bad.

No, there wasn’t - Skyrim is the video game equivalent of makeup on an otherwise uninteresting individual. Might seem pretty at first, but the lack of depth or meaning dulls any beauty.

Yeah that doesn’t track at all with what I remember people saying, and what I remember thinking myself.

I distinctly remember people citing the repetitive gameplay, short campaign, shallow choices, etc. I’m not sure why it was ever a GOTY contender, but there simply never was any way it would ever beat a game like Sekiro. It’s likely that “new Obsidian RPG” drove any hype surrounding the game.

Edit: Disco Elysium came out in 2019, that fact alone tells you that Outer Worlds being a contender was uhh… if not fraudulent, then certainly questionable.

Why… why am I in this meme?

Let games die

I remember Dark Athena being fun, but know for a fact Escape from Butcher Bay was fun.

Just play Ghosts of Sushi Mama - I can almost guarantee it’s a better AC game.

A friend of mine was banned for the crime of having been invaded by a hacker. I guess I kind of get it, can’t really be made at them for not wanting to give everyone a headstart.

Hmm, is this typical for other fromsoft titles - as far as playtests go? Regarding the lack of PC testers.

Zephon

Hitler My Friend is a 99 cent game on Steam with an 8/10 positive rating.

A 3D shooter that will change your ideas about alternative history! In this game you will climb into the boots of the unforeseen Adolf Hitler.

There’s more, but I’m not sifting through more dog shit. This is a good thing.

Ghosts of Sushi Mama is basically Assassins Creed in Japan.

Crazy how I just detailed this exact thing in a different comment and got downvoted for it.

5 million gold costs about 220 bucks right now. If I’m not mistaken that was the price of the AH mount back in BFA, no?

90 bucks for this mount is actually at a massive bargain, we’re talking 40% of what it’s actually worth. Like I get it, you think it’s scummy but… idk, if I still played WoW I would probably buy it - and I doubt I would regret it. That being said, I do not play anymore and will not come back for the mount lol.

Like, technically speaking they could charge double what they’re asking and it would still be cheaper than the BFA AH mount.

Edit: Mad because bad at math.

All I have to say is that I sincerely doubt that From Software and MiHoYo were looking at H:ZD when they made their very successful games. That’s my only point, you are allowed to have your opinions about H:ZD - I’m not saying that you’re wrong.

BotW completely changed the open world landscape. Yes it was a bad Zelda game, it was by no means a mediocre game. That first experience is fucking magical, and has been recreated to great effect in Elden Ring and Genshin Impact (I shouldn’t need to point out how popular both of those games are).

You can dislike that it was a bad Zelda game. Calling it mediocre is just patently false. Granted, yes - I’ve called the game ‘Horizon: Zero Awards’ because it definitely should have won at least something. However, it was not more impactful than BotW.

No, I’m not the one struggling to remember what I’ve said. That’s you lil’ guy, in case you were confused - I’d imagine you are.

Yes because money is the only thing that matters in life, so what if my kids get psychic damage from having guns go off near them? They probably won’t die. Gotta get into college so I can retire!

You kinda dumb dog, like the people responding to you are also dumb but you’re particularly dumb.

Ah, I see - the moment the words leave your flappy flesh bits you forget them. I get it, it’s hard being a goldfish. I’ll give you a pass this time.

What was that? Canadian throwing stones in glass houses? Couldn’t be!

No, it’s because you’re chronically online.
