Alright bud, I’m just gonna ignore ya.

Goodbye.

Glad I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the insufferable people that just aren’t worth engaging with.


I never said it was to make the game better, only that it probably won’t which is what’s most relevant to me.

I don’t really have sympathy for people working for blizzard.


Yes, video games in general have stopped caring about interiors because they require “too much thought” on the part of the lazy/incompetent developers.


I’m just waiting around for Physint now.

Never had any interest in death stranding and I’m kinda disappointed there’s a whopping 2 of them.


Cool, but it’s not going to make the game any better.

They’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.


Lost interest in KF2 after they scaled it down.

Not really expecting KF3 to be any better, but who knows.

Might get it on sale one day for $5 or so if it supports Linux.


Don’t forget, you can and should still pirate their games.

Torzu is the logical successor to Yuzu. There will undoubtedly be a Switch 2 emulator.

Do not give these corporations your money. They will always use it against us.



Anyone still buying anything they can get for free at this point isn’t paying attention.


Just so ya’ll know, EULAs are routinely thrown out of court.

They straight up don’t matter, and anything that is extremely long and asks you to ‘agree’ to it is subject to the same scrutiny.

All of the times we clicked agree without reading actually helped us, because now courts can say “nobody reads that stuff before hitting accept.”




Because we already have phones.

The solution is to release games for phones that require a controller, but most companies aren’t willing to be the first ones to do it.


Why do people spend that much money?!

Conditioning. They have more money so they spend it proportionally.


Yuck, 1/4th the performance of a 3060?

I already have a 3060 laptop lmao. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at walmart for $1k.

And nintendo wants to start charging $80 for games? On top of paying an extra subscription to use our own internet? Yeah, fuck that.

Sail the high seas. Your wallet and your dignity will be better off for it.


Which is a shame.

I’ll always be able to play World at War multiplayer because it supports LAN and player-hosted servers.

I don’t know if the newer ones support LAN or hosting our own servers, but if they don’t then it would mean we’re essentially renting access to the game’s multiplayer features.

It really means we’re going backwards just to make businesses richer than us even richer at our expense.


Will all these multiplayer games being released without support for LAN or hosting our own servers no longer be multiplayer when the company shuts down the servers?
Seems like there's going to be a point where people are noticing the games they spent money on don't work as they should anymore because the servers get shut down. How would you feel if most of the multiplayer games you spent money on suddenly stopped being multiplayer because the business decided it's not worthwhile for them to keep the servers running?

Sounds like a system in need of reform.

Looks like people with money can just use the law to bully those without.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.


I pirated breath of the wild years ago and still haven’t beaten it.

I ended up replaying and finishing Wind Waker on Dolphin though.


Based.

We need more anti-consumers like yourself. This is how we fight back.



This is why we should’ve been pirating from the beginning.

All the money we give these scumfucks is being used against us.


I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to incentivize innovation, not stifle it.

Just kidding! They always existed to make rich people richer at the expense of useful idiots.


Might be cool to have AI come up with a bunch of mechanics to patent.



Copyright and patent laws need to die.

Victims of Stockholm Syndrome always focus on what their abusers provide, but never on what they take away.


You know, sometimes less is more.

Just because there’s more “stuff” in a game like Violet doesn’t mean it adds to the overall experience. Sometimes it detracts from it. A lot of times it detracts from it.

This is of course all subjective and if you enjoy the additional mechanics, it’s good you have them. There are of course others out there who would disagree with you and appreciate a more “core” experience in a Pokemon game.

Pokémon: Violet except: it’s 2D, scarcely animated, without double-battles, without shinies, without several types, without terastallizing, without the open world, without the rideable legendary, and so on.

In my opinion, they can keep everything you’ve mentioned except terastallizing, a rideable legendary, and probably a good amount of your “and so on.” I’m pretty sure Pokemon games have had an open world since the beginning, but maybe some people have different ideas of what constitutes an open world.


Personally, I’d be fine if they kept physical and special damage separate.

But things like “Dynamaxing” would be a no-go.



Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?
I'm talking about a new game but made with old graphics and mechanics similar to Megaman 9 & 10. I personally think such a thing could sell gangbusters and honestly go on record as one of the greatest Pokemon games ever made, especially in recent years.
