COD hasn’t been worth playing in ~12 years.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 days ago:
They really fucked up on their marketing by saying everything is an Xbox. Confusing non-gamers, annoying real gamers, and disappointing aspiring gamers.

Those three companies are dead to me, even if they hold some IP I used to hold dear.

Yeah, I enjoyed it for what it was.

It’s a very solid game that more people need to try. Especially as cheap as it is now.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 5 days ago:
Absolutely, there are references to IKEA, IT, fallout, evil Knievel, etc. it’s way more clever than I initially gave it credit for. When I first heard about it I thought it was like just running around on cliffs and eating grass. I had no idea you could be a total asshole in it and I love that about it.

Believe it or not, I’m a zim guy, Nuka cola can piss off.

It also has better graphics and takes more than an hour to complete. Plus great cultural and gaming references. When I first heard about the first game, I was like no fucking way that can be fun but after reading reviews, I bought it as a game I could play with my son, and we love it. (He’s a jerk to me on it tho)

Goat sim is better.

Well fuck me with playing a lot of fallout then.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 6 days ago:
My stress relief game is fallout 4. You get so OP so quickly that it’s like “ok, I don’t like you, or your whole crew. I’m going to wipe you out of existence like Im a Mr clean magic erase sponge.”
It’s just satisfying release.

That takes like an hour to beat.

DayZ. The warming embrace of the games player base envelops you like a warm blanket.

Lol, no, but I’ve been there. “Can you meet me at my apartment? I bought a dresser I need your ‘help’ with”
- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 1 week ago:
For me, romances are just so they can carry shit that I find.

Some games are art. Some are money grabs or outright scams.

You’ve never played the recent mortal Kombat games, have you?
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
Right, I’m sick of infinite combos. I can’t remember a 80 button press combo, and even if I could, I can’t get the timing down.
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 1 week ago:
I don’t know. I think adults should have their place. I remember festivals where adult shit went on. Every big event kept getting more family friendly. And ruined the fun of getting drunk, smoking pot and seeing boobs. But then they decided every fucking event had to be family friendly and they brought cops in to enforce it. Then it wasn’t long before the event just stopped happening because nobody wanted the Disney version of fun adult events. It’s really not fair to take away the rights of adults to have adult fun. That being said, this thirsty bullshit isn’t for me. Like, it’s just sad and kinda pathetic to me, but let adults have silly adult fun as ridiculous as it is. I don’t think DOA is really adding to rape culture or anything.

At this point, it’s closer to a tradition than anything. Its more of an eye roll thing at this point. Real fighting game fans don’t play this.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Well they definitely learned a lot from Bethesda. Maybe too much. But they also outperform Bethesda in a lot of ways. Like using unreal, it just allows way more realistic facial movements than any Bethesda game allows, making NPCs feel far more realistic, and therefore allowing better immersion. But Bethesda absolutely needs to start from scratch with a new engine if they want to continue using their own. With an updated engine it could pump out games much faster than trying to continuously upgrade the old ass engine to look better. It’s seriously out of date when facial movements still are only confined to the mouth like their newest game, starfield. Like games back in the day would use the same engine and get a new one out 2-3 years later. Why can’t we do that again?
I just want more content, if you put out a game I love, I don’t need the most advanced version of it, just give me another with a new story on the same engine. It worked great with old grand theft Auto games. I totally understand why it wouldn’t work like call of duty, because they put almost no effort in the story. But cutting down on on the effort of the engine, and focusing on story, would be fine. Their biggest anchor is the engine.

Assuming those games don’t get pulled.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Fallout is anti-corporate. But you’re dealing with the aftermath of runaway capitalism, instead of being inside of it. Whereas the outer worlds felt like a too long episode of Futurama featuring mom corp.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
They were a little too heavy handed on the preachyness imo. I agree with the point but that doesn’t mean I want to be hit with a metaphorical hammer for 20+ hours.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
The first was meh. Dunno about the second, but I have to assume it was also meh.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
The first one felt very forced as far as the leftist story goes. I’m as leftist as there is but it still felt really heavy handed. I got maybe 3 hours in and never picked it up again.
