My YouTube feed has a million videos on this game. Every major media outlet has done multiple videos on this game and the bugs and the launch. I’m pretty plugged into the games industry and I hadn’t heard of it until it launched but since then it has gotten a ton of press and I doubt it’s just “word of mouth”.

I keep thinking that everyone who complains about video games today either has awful taste or only learns about the industry from media outlets. I personally think we’re in something of a golden age. Death Stranding 2, Elden Ring, Balders Gate 3, Zelda Totk, Alan Wake 2, UFO 50, Donkey Kong Bananza, Balatro, Silksong, Kirby Air Riders, Clair Obscur, the Alters.

And that’s only in the last 3-4 years. If you pay attention to all kinds of budgets, there’s a ton of great new games coming out all the time. Get out of your little corner of the Internet and you’ll find PLENTY of great new games.

I just bought the game a few days ago, there’s a ton of nuance and mechanics that mean you can often hear the enemy before you see them and make contact. Gotta have the volume up. I don’t usually like inventory management, but this game’s inventory management feeds into the tension of the pvp encounters. I think they did a great job with the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 is my rec. Great game and all the launch stuff has been fixed now.

It’s wild in retrospect how influential a throwaway movie tie in video game ended up being.

I think playing their games is worse than not playing them. Stop paying attention to them and giving people a reason to want their products.

The problem with capitalism is that rich morons can dictate all the resources onto a game with completely unreasonable expectations, and when it inevitably blows up in their face they’ll ruin the lives of the hundreds of people who worked on the game by firing them. And these people’s families will fall into chaos through no fault of their own.

What is the point of having Nintendo online if Nintendo isn’t going to release the games/DLC you want on Nintendo online?

I’ve read that Japanese culture doesn’t see stuff as worthless, but that it should be available to everyone. They just want future generations to be able to play old games more easily.

Dude I just spent 10 mins trying to get the thing to let me make an account. It kept saying my username didn’t fit the format requirements, but then didn’t tell me what the format requirements were.
