If they seriously don’t add any types of ground vehicles I’m going to laugh. At that point it’ll be blatantly obvious how shitty their engine is.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 11 months ago:
Uh huh. Yeah they’ve never made fun of anyone at all. Never had any stereotypical controversies.
Fuck off man. They’re not as ridiculous as South Park but they certainly know when to critique.

You are part of the group that I hope they parody.
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
Honestly I do understand why PC gamers are upset. But this isn’t exactly news. They’ve done this with every PC port. And given the clusterfuck that was GTA IV on PC I’m fine waiting another year for a GOOD PC port.
Again I get it. But I personally bought a Series X when PC gaming was too expensive to get into so I take it that’s who they’re gonna go for as well.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 11 months ago:
The retards in the comments are giving me cancer.
Did we watch the same trailer? This looks fucking amazing. None of this is actual gameplay footage but it’s all been rendered IN ENGINE. Just like every other fucking Rockstar trailer to ever exist. This looks freaking insane.
People are shitting on the 2025 release date like……bruh. RDR2 took 8 years to develop. Rumors say this has been in development since 2019 or so, right after the release of RDR2. So 6-7 years which makes perfect sense.
Jesus christ I hope Rockstar parodies all of your asses to show how fucking negative the internet has become.

Let’s be honest, who the fuck doesn’t have a phone number in 2023? My 9 year old cousin has an iPhone SE.
- Comment on Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, Frosted Glass Design 1 year ago:
Well we’re already getting removable batteries which is exciting as fuck. That one will require even more of a major redesign that it will 100% come to the US.
All hail the EU for saving tech.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
I’ll say this. For how much shit Steve Jobs gets, regardless of his personal life, he would never allow this shit to happen. That crazy bastard is responsible for getting rid of the floppy drive and pushing the industry towards USB 1.0.
You can find old forum posts of the original iMac launch and see how surprised and somewhat upset people are at this revelation.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
I think it’s more that USB 2 speeds at the bare minimum are a really trash value for an $800 phone. I get what you mean, as this will push the “pro” consumers who absolutely must have 4K ProRes RAW video transfers to buy the Pro models, but for real. It is shitty from a consumer perspective regardless.

- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
I don’t have a problem with some mods being sold. My issue is when you price it initially for free and THEN decide later to charge money for it. That’s within your rights of course, but don’t expect people to not get pissed off enough to pirate it.
- Comment on Bethesda hired a Skyrim modder to create the "lighting and clutter" in Starfield 1 year ago:
I prefer story heavy RPGs
They need to innovate
Dude, I’m sorry, but what the fuck is this? Bethesda games have always been story heavy. I’ve put 23 hours into this game so far and have seen combat maybe once an hour because I get so sucked into the story and lore. The same happened for Skyrim the more I played. I’m sorry it wasn’t memorable for you for whatever fucking reason, but the fact that the game and its story has been memed to death and is still talked about means it’s clearly memorable.
Since when did they NEED to innovate? I mean I could understand the argument for needing to vastly improve animations, facial expressions, etc. But they’re not Apple. Why change something that already works? Clearly Bethesda fans and even some critics don’t have a problem with the existing formula. Because it works. There’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s fun. And it’s not like Bethesda doesn’t introduce anything new to their games. The base building in Fallout 4 was the best fun I had with that game, and even that was a disappointment.
Anything else?

I love this fucking game.

- Comment on Bethesda hired a Skyrim modder to create the "lighting and clutter" in Starfield 1 year ago:
Overhype? Please give me an example of overhyping. That whole, “See that mountain? You can climb it” meme was legitimately true. And he actually said you can WALK to it. Misquote. So there’s one debunked.
And no, they really don’t keep their PR vague. They had a fucking 40 minute direct all about the game several months before release. How much more specific do people need it to be? Anyone who has ever played a Bethesda game knows what to expect. They flat out showed the cutscene system when landing and taking off, and even Todd himself said there would be loading screens in several interviews.
neither are the usual criticisms of Bethesda games half-assing everything from accessibility to writing to various gameplay elements.
So the entire writing is half assed in Skyrim? Really? Even though it’s extremely memorable, the Dark Brotherhood questline is still considered among the greatest they’ve ever written, and Morrowinds story is considered GOAT to this day?
I can absolutely understand Fallout 4. That was a major step back and I do not like that games story. It was boring and generic, along with the dialogue. Fallout 3 was a bit better but not by much. But seriously? Every single Bethesda Game? As for gameplay elements you’ll have to be more specific.
Getting really sick of Bethesda fans shitting on anyone with criticism of their precious game company while whining about how toxic gaming culture is with zero self-awareness.
If you’re ok with Bethesda never innovating that’s fine, but stop trying yti shut down other people’s valid criticisms or acting like they’re stupid for expecting and wanting higher quality releases.
Bethesda has plenty of things in their games to critique. Nobody is denying that. I already critiqued earlier. And I don’t have a problem with criticism. My issue is when people critique a NEW game they haven’t even fucking played yet based off of things that existed before. And then better yet, playing the game and just scraping the barrel for the littlest shit to call it “garbage” because it’s tradition and they want to feel validated and big. That’s not critique. That’s just being a fucking idiot.
If you don’t like Bethesda games, fine. I think the majority of people who are bitching anyway are just folks who don’t like them to begin with. Which makes even less sense as to WHY they feel the need to. Bottom line, you don’t got to like Starfield or any Bethesda game, but come up with some legitimate arguments first. And most importantly, JUST DON’T FUCKING PLAY IT.
Other than that, I fail to understand why people want to shit on Bethesda nowadays and act like the games are complete trash when they’ve won 4 game of the year awards already.

TBH the faces look fine for me. At least on major NPCs that have a role. All of the NPCs out in the cities are the ones that look wonky. I give it a pass though considering you’d have to be fucking staring at them immensely to actually notice.
Either way, modders will take care of it. That’s the beauty of these games. Anything remotely dumb that Bethesda overlooks, (which is every game) will be fixed.
Still having a ton of fun.
- Comment on Bethesda hired a Skyrim modder to create the "lighting and clutter" in Starfield 1 year ago:
Starfield…doesn’t suck though.
I’ve sunk 20 hours into it so far and it’s amazing. You people just have your expectations up the ass for a company that is great at one formula and expect them to do the other when they never said they would. It’s ya’lls fucking fault for expecting No Mans Sky to be the greatest fucking game of all time at release over a company that made fucking Joe Danger.
Oblivion and Skyrim have the same basic formula with little differences sprinkled in here and there mechanics wise that make it feel different, but familiar. Starfield is the same way and I fully expect ES 6 to do the same.
Good god you people are negative.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
…You don’t just pick up garbage. The whole thing is about exploring POI. That’s what Bethesda excells at. Plus the well implemented RPG elements and story elements. That’s why people play these games including myself.
It sounds like Bethesda games just aren’t for you. Which is okay. I hate the Souls games but it would be aggregious to say they’re bad.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Not all of them actually. A lot of them are really good, especially the Crimson Fleet side quests. You can actually join them which is really cool. I always wanted to join bandits in Skyrim and this is basically it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
This is it.
I was disappointed at the fast travel mechanics in the game as it seems gratuitous, but over time and from intentional balancing, I got used to it.
When you let that go it ends up being REALLY good. Other than that mechanic, I expected Skyrim/Fallout in space and that’s exactly what they delivered. And as an advid Skyrim player who put hundreds of hours into it, I am happy.

Lmao I’ve been getting this bug too. Sometimes my helmet won’t show up in no atmosphere environments. It fixes though if I go back inside my ship.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Honestly this is the best thing I’ve read so far and makes me feel so much better. Thank you. And I think I’m just going to constantly remind myself who I am while I’m there, and just play along with the stupid little game.
