I have provided reasons, although I also don’t need to.

I’m guessing you wouldn’t be this upset if I said Metal Gear Rising is good without providing reasons?


Not really. You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon like.

Unfortunately, the snowball effect has taken hold so those who cannot think for themselves will never realize it.

I rest my case.


Keep finding ways to justify your enjoyment of a mediocre product.

As long as you’re part of the bandwagon, you’re in company.


Not really.

It’s mediocre and lazy.

Fact.

The swordplay is neutered because doing what they had in the tech demo was ‘too hard’ for obsidian.

Fact.

The story is forgettable, along with pretty much everything else about the game.

Opinion, but this is what people are agreeing with me on so…

The MGS games are classics. Rising just rode their coattails and had memers at the helm.

Fact.

You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon enjoy.

Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.

Right. And all of the MGS games that don’t have these are better than rising.

It’s not fantastic. It’s mediocre and lazy. The swordplay is neutered because doing what they had in the tech demo was ‘too hard’ for obsidian. The story is forgettable, along with pretty much everything else about the game.

I’m the exact opposite of a philistine, which is why I’m not afraid to be critical of garbage like this.

It was overhyped and underdelivered. Unfortunately, the snowball effect has taken hold so those who cannot think for themselves will never realize it.


Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated
Only about 6 hours of campaign and it's a shell of what was demoed.

That’s nice, but even the views reflect my opinion.


It doesn’t need to be a GDQ event.


I answered the person who asked why.


It’s no different than watching a regular stream.


I stopped buying consoles when they started charging for online.

Feels like I made the right decision.



No problem.

I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.


It 100% sounds like their flavor of bullshit.

Remember the “emulation console” they released?


Heck, piracy is almost always morally correct because developers are only doing the least while charging the most.

If they want to treat business as “us vs. them”, then that’s what they’re going to get.



Glad I still have my solid copy of Yuzu.

Never buying another console again, and it’s been years since I bought a video game.

The companies only have themselves to blame.



Me using a gaming laptop, a solution which has been available for over a decade.


Keep in mind everyone, nintendo started out as a toy company and never lost that culture.

They aren’t your friends and they aren’t “better than the rest.”


Glad I never bought a switch.

In fact, ever since the PS4 I’ve been strictly a PC gamer.

Seeing how Microsoft was able to lower everyone’s standards by charging for online really puts things into perspective for me.

It’s great because now I don’t have to buy hardware or software. Looking forward to emulating switch 2 games before they’re even released like ToTK, lol.


I disagree, they have their place. Counterstrike, for example.

Call of Duty and Battlefield would be better if they followed Counterstrike’s release model.





You can get free games with torrenting, so it never appealed to me.

I don’t want or need more accounts, nor do I want or need more launchers.


Me too.

Personally, I thought the series would’ve ended with getting to play as Desmond for most of the game, actually being an assassin in the modern day.


Honestly, an entire rhythm game could be made out of that idea.

I wouldn’t expect it to happen naturally, though. The game would have to be built around it.


Yeah, I really enjoyed the polish of it and how it showed us what a better fallout could be.[

That said, it was woefully lacking on content and committed a cardinal sin of gaming: the ending felt like the game was just getting started.

Also, not a fan at all of whoever is telling them to ignore romance options.


The solution is to collectively have higher standards.


Assassin’s creed died with 2 when they fired the creator and decided to milk it as much as possible.

So sad what this series has become, considering its counter-culture influences.


Unfortunately, data shows that people prefer to be advertised to over receiving a better product.


Rent. Greed. Entitlement. Food deliveries.


Have you played the campaigns for older Call of Duty games and the like? They still hold up.


I think matchmaking should be done on a per-game basis (or at least it’s a different issue.)

I’m more referring to how players connect, such as having friend lists, joining those friends, and the profiles we see in and out of games.

This protocol looks interesting, and I’ll have to learn more about it.


Are there any open protocols for facilitating online gaming?
I'm interested in something that games and front-ends can implement in order to play online and connect with friends, independent of the actual front-end in use. This would allow gamers to connect without being reliant on companies' stores. Is there such a thing? Are there any discussions about creating one?

I’m sorry you like this game so much that you get offended when people criticize it.


Why are you so upset? I just did a quick google search and that’s what came up. Am I supposed to do actual research for a shitty game? No, I don’t care that much.

Also, they aren’t very clear about whether or not you can actually group up with 32 players, only summon them in a “social hub.”


Everyone was still technically in the same shared universe, you just couldn’t actually co-op with more than that…

So, it only goes up to 4 players because the devs aren’t competent enough to support more.

Thanks for proving my point.


🥱

Did I criticize the thing you like? Pardon me for not keeping up with updates for shitty games before criticizing them.

You’re also wrong: “The game can currently be played by multiple people together online in parties of 2 to 4 players.”
