Here’s the real problem. Joe has people on like Dr Rhonda Patrick. 2 years ago she said it’s been reported people dying of covid are vitamin d deficient. Only yesterday did a scientific study coming out verifying this.

I really think it’s better to combat misinformation with better information.  Just blocking misinformation only fuels conspiracy theories and is counter-productive. 

Well, it would have helped if they invested ANY money into marketing the damn show. 

Exactly. And I know that 2D/3D animation for TV is completely different than a video game so it isn’t an apples to apples comparison. However, I just want to draw attention to my opinion that I just don’t think it’s even possible to achieve this comic book / 2D animation aesthetic in a 3D video game. It looks really…

It’s hard to articulate what I mean without showing examples. Here is an example from Invincible.

I said this after playing the demo: It’s hard to argue with “free” (Game Pass), but some of the animations are outright bad while some are okay. Everything about the flow of the game feels jarring and janky. By choice the game looks like it’s animated on 3s or 4s, which is kinda cool in theory, but it just doesn’t…

I get what you’re saying, but I’d say that for me, that ‘spark’ just isn’t going to come from something I only just ‘admire’: if I’m not enjoying something (especially something with a purposefully opaque narrative), I’m probably not going to forge a very strong emotional connection to it, either, and that’s more or…

Pretentious way of saying player actions or mechanics :-P

I loved this review, however I think it is misleading to label Xbox games as multiplatform because they are available on Windows and multiple Xbox versions. I got excited about the game and then realized I can’t play it. Multiplatform should be reserved for games that are available on at least 2-3 distinct companies’…

I think there’s probably an apt metaphor in there for the relative lack of detail in the environments and the relative lack of complexity in the game itself - it does just feel kind of empty, doesn’t it? Which I definitely think is more or less on purpose, but whether or not that ‘works’ I think is likely to be pretty…

Yeah, watched a friend play it for a while and I just found that art choice extremely distracting. The overall aesthetic is great, and the game itself is intriguing, but that low-FPS animation style is hard for me to watch.

I like the look of this game in pictures, but the way the characters jerkily move in that weird stuttery low-FPS way they do is deeply, viscerally upsetting, and I can’t get past it, and I’ll never be able to play this or even watch a playthrough of it. I wish I were joking, because you make it sound like a neat game.

Lack of player verbs?

Just adding Racing Games (sans wheel) for the Controller camp and MOBAs for the M/KB...

Nope

Hmm.

but its kind of ironic that the internet still gives it so much attention thus feeding into its popularity

Fitting though, as CDPR and specifically Witcher 3 were often used by commenters and clickbaiters to shit on other studios and games in the same way.

I don’t really agree at all. I feel like you’re mistaking a distinctly Korean style for “soulless” or something. BDO is a shit game, don’t get me wrong, but it’s absolutely not any more or less “soulless” or “barren” than dozens of MMOs, so like if that was a general point about MMOs I could see it, but a specific…

BDO is universally criticized for it’s predatory monetization. Dozens of gaming forums and Youtube videos regularly condemn Kakao Games for prioritizing fixing issues with problems linked to the cash shop while ignoring in-game bugs for years. I’d rather wait 5+ years for CD Projekt Red to fix Cyberpunk than to…
