This comment section has proven to me that gamers seem to be more than ok when billion dollar companies complain about not making more money while firing their staff. But if you complain about the pricing structure of said company’s complaint, well you better shut up and stop complaining because we used to buy mini…

So it isn’t that the game is middling it’s just I’m not playing or thinking about it correctly. Got it. Which, even if that were the case that’s on the publisher/devs to create an experience that trains us to play and think that way.

I guess no piece of media can be bad as long as the people who did it irl had fun

I think this statement pretty much explains why there’s such a strong drop off. They didn’t want to make a compelling experience for players that would keep them coming back. They instead just wanted big numbers which gives the false sense of a compelling experience that I personally found felt more like a chore

Unless I’ve never played it or the game has outdated mechanics and graphics and also hard to access, I’m not too interested in a remake or remaster. I may still check it out when it’s discounted but I’m also not the kind of gamer that wants everything remade instead of something new. So I know I’m in the minority, at…

I’ll wait for the pc version if there will be one. No sense in buying this remaster that will still be hampered by console. 

And I would say it’s pathetic and quite daft of you to complain about others complaining. As if we all don’t have the right to complain about whatever, regardless of being forced to do anything.

I had a whole retort to this asinine statement but in the end, who the hell cares. A kid is now affected with a disease that is stigmatized and will probably follow them for the rest of their life. And you want to side with corporations that knowingly go after the vulnerable for their bottom line. Corporations that…

Is it really inflation when these companies are raising prices on games, selling egregiously priced DLC and gain record breaking profits while publicly laying off hundreds of people? Sounds like greed to me.

While games journalists have pushed back on the idea of 20 dollar skins, they also talk about those same games ad nauseam. The same way a site can condemn Ubisoft or Activision and then spend an entire week using games from those publishers for content. I get it, we all gotta eat but you can’t feign ignorance about…

The biggest issue with Netflix gaming is that I’d rather just play it on PC. The idea of gaming on my phone has lost it’s luster right around the death of 3.5“ iPhones

I love this thing about capitalism where you can’t be political unless it’s making us money. Then you can make yearly glorified army recruiter apps, satirical online open world games, and allegories of the thing someone is criticizing. But as soon as you personally want to speak on politics, then we gotta act like…

I don’t think you are crazy for that, though I do think that it’s less for us and more about solidarity and maybe putting pressure on the West. Now what I do find crazy is that the same show that can nominate Cyberpunk, FFVII & XVI and COD for awards, have the VA of a game about a milquetoast neo-liberal allegory of…

Feel like nowadays it might be easier just to tell us all the days when a game doesn’t release lol

I think the biggest thing that probably keeps them buying is fomo. Even if you don’t want to, your friends might and then you’re left out of the online community. 

I played the game after most of the bugs were fixed and I thought it was pretty good. I liked the gameplay and found some of the lore and side stories to be interesting but the world and the story itself was lacking to me. 

This idea of paying more for early access is such marketing bs. Maybe if it were something like steam where you’re getting the beta version of a game. This is more like, if you pay 100 dollars you can get it on time but if you pay less, you’ll have to wait a week  

It seems silly to me to say this is a self inflicted injury when regardless, her being in the trailer got the plaintiff to watch the movie in the first place. 

Once I became old enough to drink and go out, I realized the lie of beer goggles. It isn’t that people become more attractive; I’m just horny and whomever is gonna make it easy to satiate that, I’m giving them my attention. Now if you told me, drink a beer and pick whomever you want to go home with and they’ll…

You are missing the point. If they can sell an older game on another platform, a platform with a smaller user base and for less money, them charging more for a lesser version is just greed
