• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally wouldn’t say “gameplay is the most important feature”, but it’s intertwined.

  A game is a piece of art, and a piece of art passes a message or a sentiment to the end user.

  Some don’t need gameplay at all, like the novel-like games with eventual quick time events like Until Dawn, just nice graphics and an appealing story are enough to pass on what the creator wants.

  Other games require heavy focus on gameplay, remembering enemiew behaviors and learning a plethora of items and skills so the player can even experience thee world around him, a good example would the Souls series.

  There’s even games in between, like Cyberpunk, where the graphics and storytelling are the most important aspect, and the gameplay is there but is not important enough to pass on the message. And vice versa.

  The worst a game can be is “meh”, or leave you uninterested on any of its aspects. Haven’t played this SW game, but if I compare to the the SW works, the focus should be either good action (like Jedi Academy game) or a deep and interesting story and world building (like the Andor series). If the only thing It has is graphics, then I can see how uninteresting it can be.

  I don’t think he actually wants to play any game, I think the satisfaction comes from having all the consoles and making them all worrk together.

  It’s more a collectors high thand a gamer’s.

  It also helps you getting a starting point when you don’t know how ask a search engine the right question.

  But people misinterpret its usefulness and think It can handle complex and context heavy problems, which must of the time will result in hallucinated crap.

  The thing is what is the consensus of “runs well”? Is it a FPS constant? No glitches? Fast loads?

  My point is, a game can come shitty and run a constant 30 fps under the “recommended” since that’s what they thought was appropriate

  Is a gray area that should be more descriptive, not sure why downvote me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that I remember, true that it didn’t handle the last gen consoles, and that it was marketed as quite demanding

  Sadly “minimum” or “recommended” just tells us the game runs, not that it runs well

  I’d argue It is heavily inspired, and not copied.

  The game has been in development for some years now, you can even find some early ads for It. And the lack of action by Nintendo, in all this time, tells me there’s no bases for any legal action.

  I’ve seen comparisons for all the pals and the “look alike” pokemons, and honestly, some are inspired by pokemons and some are similar just because they are based on the same animal, I haven’t seen any blatant copies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sleep paralysis⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a feeling that you can rationalize by looking at It from the outside.

  It’s a primal and visceral feeling, a fight or flight situation. Sometimes you even think “hey this is a sleep paralysis, I can just ignore and go back to sleep”, but you usually can’t, and your body screams “danger, danger, danger, run away, fight back”, but you can’t move, or scream, or “wake up”. It bites of our instincts, and It’s hard to describe afterwards, but you wake up scared and bit relieved that you’re alive.

  It gets worse If you hallucinate, all sorts of distorted figures and creatures appear, all fabrication of your brain of course, but since you’re half awake, they are half real as well, you can feel their presence like a sixth sense, when you look at a dark corner or a dark hallway and you know something is lurking there, sometimes you can even “touch” them if they come near enough.

  I had and episode one time that I had to keep pushing a floating demonic mask away from me, I could only move my right wrist, and yes I could somewhat touch the thing, and I had this primal fear that If that thing approached my head, I would die.

  It’s a really hard concept to describe, but once you experience It, you never forget the feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen food expire before the date stated, so you should also take into account where you live and the regulatory entities that manage your food and stuff.

  I’d say always do the sniff if you are worried.

  all the characters are well written and it’s hard to straight up hate/like them, the gray area is real

  also, theres 4 more ending added if I’m not mistaken, give It a shot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the problem is just that, the game is… okay, not bad or good, just okay, unremarkable and forgettable.

  If you want good sales you need to do something innovative and interesting, or something cliché but really well done.

  Taking a look at Doom 2016 (also a single player shooter) we can see the core gameplay: Shoot demons, Pick up ammo, Shoot more demons. But it’s crafted so masterfully that you spend dozens or hundreds of hours doing just that.

  Now with this game that I actually forgot the name mid comment, It’s… well you get the ideia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.

  And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.

  I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

  EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

  Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped.
