thats great
the reboot is still probably most fans entry point to the franchise and frame of reference for discussing it, especially during a discussion about Bethesda
that is not any kind of dig at the older games, the quality of them is entirely irrelevant to the point i was making
you dont need to come to the defense of them, especially by taking digs at the newer games that i also do not care about
- Comment on Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo 7 months ago:
the difference is that discussions about robocop are exclusively about the original
if youre convinced the wolfenstein and doom reboots have the same impact and relevance as robocop (2014) youre entirely allowed to stay that way, im not gonna try and shake you out of it

I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.
that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id
Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games
“Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),
lol ok

Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!
the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.
i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making
More people might be playing the new ones NOW
which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom
- Comment on Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo 7 months ago:
i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games
- Comment on Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo 7 months ago:
doom and Wolfenstein are published by bethesda

theres a pretty straightforward reason for why fascists win elections, folks usually just dont want to admit the reason

i can excuse hiring mercenaries to rough a guy up for leaking cards, but using AI art is a step too far!

you can be annoyed about something someone is doing without making some personal judgement about that someone
if my train is late because the train driver had a heart attack im aware that its not the drivers fault, but im still not going to be thrilled about my luck

Extremely disappointed, loved fallout and elder scrolls but sounds like im avoiding this studio indefinitely

im actively hoping they do

im not picking a fight
you said i misinterpreted your comment, i read it back and deleted my original comment, and explained where the misinterpretation came from
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
metacritics users score being as low compared to Steam’s user score, which actually requires having played the game iirc, is pretty telling
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
they cant invalidate the feeling of being upset when something that used to be free (modding games) is no longer free
modding games is still free, so your feeling of being upset wasnt valid in the first place
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
it’s like theyre making a non profit for the money, except the without the making a non profit part
- Comment on Bethesda hired a Skyrim modder to create the "lighting and clutter" in Starfield 1 year ago:
hiring modders, which is what folks have been telling bethesda to do since skyrim, is bad and lazy actually
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
this was more a result of them biting off more than they can chew than an actual lack of skill
obsidian seemed like it had a hard time letting go of grand plans even when they proved to be unworkable
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
i mean it explicitly was the deal they made with bethesda, they both agreed to a deadline
the lack of focus on actual bug fixes and the overconfidence with how much content they could realistically finish in those 18 months was still absolutely on obsidian
They did not treat us badly at all - even the Metacritic thing was something they added, not threatened us with… and if we’d been better with fixing bugs, we could have hit the score needed to prevent layoffs, but nope - FNV when it was released had a LOT of bugs.
Unfortunately, the other interpretation made for a better story… but even Obsidian’s CEO clarified it. That said, FNV needed to be downscoped, and production should have ended and testing begun at least 2 months earlier than it was.
Bethesda’s engine was the easiest to create content for, by far. Source control was easy, iterations were fast, the scripting language was pretty powerful – just easy to work in. Not necessarily easy to change, but if you wanted to do what we did on F:NV, which was make a bunch of new content and new features for the F3 engine, it was great.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
There’s plenty of implicit calls for violence on that sub, they dug for a specific example to use as an excuse because of their political stance
surely all promotion of violence is objectionable or none is.
did they actually give any reason to believe that theyre a hypocrite with a political chip on their shoulder as opposed to just being against calls for violence, or did you start off with the assumption that theyre a hypocrite with a political chip on their shoulder and work backwards from there
i also just dont really agree that all promotion of violence is equal, and considering the content, culture and even moderation policy of hexbear i honestly doubt that you or most hexbear users do agree with that stance
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
this comment was made yesterday, when there actually was only half a dozen hex users commenting
at this point hex users massively outnumber lemm.ee users in this comment section, and while i dont think users are actively brigading lemm.ee the way they were brigading blahaj, its extremely overwhelming regardless and i see why folks want to defederate from them
i dont blame them for responding, but i also dont blame other folks for being entirely exhausted with a dozen of them being ready to respond to any comment, especially because of how widespread of a phenomenon its been and how hostile hex users have been in some of the posts theyve overwhelmed
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
so it was in fact over wishing violence on people
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
there have been half a dozen hex users in this comment section so this accusation doesnt feel warranted
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
im on this instance because it has minimal curation, i dont support defederating hexbear and would rather users have the option to block communities and users for themselves
even if i think the entire culture endorses, encourages and results in repugnant behaviour, bullying and an ultimately less healthy fednet and have exceedingly little faith in serious improvement
