big part of the ones with almost no reviews are such garbage its insulting to even call them games. But i bet there are some gems buried in there too.

there absolutely will, and they will constantly shift what is available on where. Imagine owning most of them, and having people constantly pay you by switching services because they dont have what one wishes to watch. This is likely why those services do this, I cant imagine any other way to make profit from driving customers away from your service.

to me AAA is mark of lesser quality. Maybe it looks pretty, but so do those hamburgers on adverts.

butter for the buttergod, cheese for the cheesethrone

these awards seem as meaningful as oscars or whatever. Just rich people pretending they can tell us what is good.

more like sony is begging people to forget about sony. Even when people do something that could benefit them they punish them. (concord failed, but this way there could have been a chance people might have gotten interested in it again and they could have tried opening official servers again, with basically no risk, and start selling the game again). They rather eat up millions of losses than give ANY agency to the users. And ultimately, isnt this just people trying to make the game they paid for work? How is this different from a scam anyway? They got what little money they got and those who gave it to them got nothing for it.

Dont buy anything shitty companies like this make. By doing so you enable them and are part of the problem.

yeah, the ai enemies are crazy, though having pve threat more dangerous than players is good thing imo, it limits the pvp a bit since people have to be wary. But if its unfairly dangerous then its just annoying since you cant survive at all.

I liked the movement, though it could be better too.

if i cant run something at linux i’ll just do without it. Might try virtual machine if its something really crucial but might not care to even bother. Fortunately any games i know that will not run are kind of games that i wouldnt want to touch anyway.

Tried it, I like the idea. Demo seemed really short, but maybe that also means there are a lot of things that can be different based on actions of previous players. I think its worth keeping an eye on.

V as female felt more apt for me than V as male

clearly that is the reason the game flopped

oh the poor shareholders, i’ll lose sleep thinking about their potentially lost diminished dividends!

well, they are still slowly actually adding more stuff to the game. I dont think they intend to scam anyone since they occasionally allow people to play the game for free and without that i would have been inclined to buy it many times now to see what kind of game it is (and would have felt scammed). Now i just keep waiting for them to add enough stuff for the game to be worth getting, but after hearing they might add somekind of p2w shop crap i think i might just forget about the whole thing if it really bad.

Its too bad if the game collapses at some point since it really has promise. I resent them for first fucking around with the money they were given and making it all seem like a scam even when there is potential for it to not be.

there is a lesson in this, never trust corporations or you will get ruined by them eventually. Either we learn to get by without them or just silently go into the night.

united we stand, divided we kneel

they dont want to make anyones lives better except their own. Pieces of shit like those have been bitter about any improvement to womens rights because they had it good being able to abuse women and want it back. Also minorities are good scapegoat for any problems they cause, so their rights have to go too or the whole thing collapses eventually as people might catch on who is really to blame.

there are also almost no new games worth even looking at anymore. There are some, but they are quite rare

since they deny it, then everyone should just revert whatever was done to censor stuff.

even though there are enough signatures now, they still need more to be sure. Some percentage of the signatures will be invalid(people unable to spell their own names and fakes for example) so there has to be big enough safetymargin. Ross made video about it too.

So until the time runs out, everyone should make sure the safetymargin is as big as possible.

says some rich asshole who probably hasn’t done real work a day in his life, likely living off dividends and bribe money

Anything ubisoft makes. Or generally most things big companies make to cater biggest possible amount of people.

oh so now its 80 where the prices are. at this rate it will be 200 within couple of years.

They added spyware to it.

Here is excerpt from the tos, shared by user in steam reviews of the game.

I wouldnt touch anything this company has produced.

Here are some reasons:

• exclusivity deals, forcing them to drop from steam even after they first announced release on there. They also target crowdfunded games like phoenixpoint.

• The launcher is spyware

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/epic-launcher-and-privacy/123592

• and epic is owned by tencent 40%

• They not really trying to improve their launcher but instead focus on hurting steam and by extension the users.

Its like some shady guy trying to lure kids to a van by offering free candy.

The launcher is security risk for your system https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/1hm9mh9/epic_games_launcher_had_a_serious_security_flaw/

Even if they have fixed that specific issue, why would you believe they have fixed anything else?

That timeline is disgusting

So in essence, its not bad because it trys to compete with steam. Its bad because they really dont try to compete and just do anti-user things. And people dont care because “yay free games I’m never going to look at again”.

If you want to see what actual competition looks like at the moment, take a look at GOG.

If i do crime and get caught or admit it, I still have to face the law about it. Does bungie?

i have been waiting for long time for them to add enough content to be worth buying. If they are going this route, i guess i’ll forget about getting the damn game entirely

i’m kind of grateful for starfield actually. Feels like I can see bethesda as it actually is, even though it was obvious even before. Its so easy to just not care about anything they do. They can release next elderscrolls all they want, its all dead to me. Even if they manage to make it decent i still dont want to even look at it. Its going to cost 80€ or something like that most likely, so that is so much money saved for something more worthwhile too.

on top of all that; big money, be it profits or revenue, attracts parasites that start ruining the company from the inside. One can feel it on many games that developers wanted to do good but were prevented from doing so because of executives and middle management.

i liked the tv show of this

though their games aren’t worth playing in the first place

Yet still youtube allows lootbox opening videos

"Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is described as a “virtual exhibition” of the new hardware. Per Nintendo: “through tech demos, minigames and other interactions, players will get to know the new system inside and out in ways they may never have known about otherwise.”

So its basically just something that goes on about how great and wonderful switch is? And they want you to pay for it? This is so stupid I’m not sure if its even anti consumer anymore but somehow managed to go beyond to new levels of awfulness.

when you dont have arguments that fit with what you want to do, you make up your own.

anything ai generated just feels deeply wrong if its supposed to be anything other than wanting to see how some idea might look like. I dont listen to much music so ai generated music can sound pretty good to me, but even then I still notice that there is no unifying idea in the details, just bunch of random threads that go nowhere. There is no reason for anything to be there in ai generated content because there can’t be any reason since ai can’t do anything by itself. Its so stupid they even call it ai because there is no intelligence involved.

Planetside 2 as it was many years ago. I’ll be forever bitter how they ruined it.

If I look at recorded playtime then its teamfortress 2 which wins just by 0.1h over rimworld and I havent really played tf2 for over 10 years.

I guess I know not to buy more from then in that case. I’m tired of playing same slop from different companies that dont want to try anything new. DRG is good game but it also feels like its not living up to its fullest potential, now i know why.

so they admit its not safe for kids to play it?

what about virtual machines?

i’ll just use virtual machines for win11

if i was shareholder i would be furious about that. Isnt “infinite growth” the very point of all this insanity?
