PC gamers all have different machines, which must make optimization a nightmare. Additionally, those with shitty machines are giving games bad reviews based on their own limitations. So much easier to pirate a game on PC. I heard something like 30% of gamers pirate at least some games.
Doesn’t look like an attractive market to be honest. I’m not surprised companies just went with consoles
Edit: get mad all you want but I’m thinking of this as a capitalist issue, and game corporations only care about your money, not your convenience
What is with Japanese game devs acting proud of being technologically in the 80s? Japanese games used to look like anime, then this gen they just look like shitty live action models attempting to look like anime and it looks awful. You play Capcom games and they feel like you’re playing Dreamcast, they’re stiff, look like a bad live action and anime mix, and just feel old. Serieses like megaman have so much potential to have ratchet at Clank style, modern, AAA level open world, but instead they just release another shitty 80s style side scroller
Borderlands 3 was so bad that it didn’t run on my PS4. It’s so badly optimized that it would crash every 30 seconds. I installed and played it for 15 minutes and had about 4 crashes. Reinstalled and tried again, same shit. It is literally unplayable. Is it a good game? I have no idea, it wouldn’t let me get far
I remember when I was a teen, adults would say “aren’t you too old for video games?” They didn’t understand that even then, many games were catering to older gamers. And all the games were being created by gamers who were old enough to be out of university. That’s why they would get mad at games like Doom, for being hyper violent. Cause according to so many people, games were only for children.
I feel like that has gotten better. I game while my daughter games next to me all the time.
Since AC 3 or so, I was so done with the present day story. I skip cutscenes and rush back to the animus whenever it switches to the present day era. I just want to play in the ancient world, I don’t care about any of the super ancient race of people and end of the world crap. I’m surprised they haven’t dropped it, I know I’m not the only one.
I have played every assassin’s Creed game, and mirage is when I just admitted I can’t do it anymore. This series hasn’t done anything groundbreaking since the second game and it’s just the same thing over and over. I miss it when game series ended and the devs moved on to new games. Assassin’s Creed as a series needs to just wrap it up
I don’t get this. Sounds like Tim Cain is a shit business and you’re blaming the person who had nothing to do with the company going under.
Another thing I don’t get, you think bathesda fallout is “garbage”? Really? Why is it every game is either a 10/10 or hot garbage? Why is there no in between? Why can’t you admit it’s just not for you? Fallout 1 and 2 weren’t for me, I didn’t like them. But I like bathesda fallout. It doesn’t mean I can 1 and 2 “garbage”. Fallout 3 and 4 gave across the board good reviews and millions of sales, clearly many people don’t think it’s garbage.
I think my view still stands, without bathesda that series would have ended with that weird ass “fallout: bos” for PS2. If it hadn’t been bought by bathesda, we would have no fallout 3, 4 or even NV. Cause as much as people claim it isn’t, NV uses the bones and parameters of fo3, just builds on it. We also wouldn’t have gotten the show, which was great
I honestly don’t get the hate. To me, fallout 3 was on another level. It was oblivion with guns in a post apocalyptic wasteland and I loved every minute of it. I had never heard of fallout before bathesda bought it. I think the first 2 games plus tactics only sold like a million copies combined. Fallout 3 sold like 10 million.
I’m just saying, had it not been for bathesda, fallout would be dead and forgotten. I mean I sure as heck would have never heard about it. So I’m glad they made fallout 3, and it was a landmark game in my life.
Can I say as a non PC gamer who follows game news. PC gamers all have different machines, isn’t optimising the games extra costly? In addition, I can imagine the annoyance of getting bad reviews on steam because some Dingus is trying to play the game on a 10 year old PC.
Also, something like 30% of PC gamers pirate their games, so that doesn’t sound like an attractive market to me.
People like to shit on bathesda, but they introduced me to a great series. A series that frankly would be dead and mostly forgotten, had it not been for bathesda picking it up. Before they came along, fallout had become a button mashing, platform adventure game, just check out Fallout: BOS, for PS2.
Is that really what it needs though?
