Those people are mostly just mad that their beloved “legit” games don’t have an audience as large. I can’t say I care for Gatcha Mechanics, but Genshin does have a legitimately well designed and beautiful world to explore.

100% its copium from Sonic fans that got a mid game after all these years

Its a fan vote, it never had any chance to be legitimate.

When I saw that shit during a Skill Up review where Sonic Frontiers was right behind the likes of God of War and Elden Ring I did a fucking spit take. I mean if we’re going to split hairs, I’d argue that Genshin Impact is far more deserving of any award over Sonic Frontiers.

I think it’s silly all around, this stuff, but I also think a lot of core users deliberately blind themselves to just how popular programs like Genshin are. I have my own thoughts and feelings on gacha (bad, smelly, bad) but even if Mihoyo genuinely is trying to put their fingers on the scales I imagine most of the…

Why is that white mage wearing a hood. Why does he have fire magic.

While colorism is a global issue, understandings of race/ethnicity which are fundamentally interlinked to skin tone is something that’s really specific to the US/UK. In other regions, while xenophobia/racism may certainly be based in or interrelated with colorism, there’s usually a lot more specific cultural nuance at…

Right in the bahabutt!

Not all hate crimes are based in ethnicity. Even when they are, it’s not always distinguishable by a glance, such as in the case of the Irish and Rwandans. I’m not saying Squeenix shouldn’t put more color in their game, absolutely they should, but I’m seriously struggling to conceive of a dumber response than implying…

Aw hell yeah gonna get to fuck bahamut

Yeah that’s never happened before. Serbia/Croatia/Bosnia etc totally aren’t a thing :P. Not all racism and hate crimes are rooted in skin color.

God damn. They’re finally going to do a sex. Truly this is the Final Fantasy.

Maybe a whole family too.

What little footage I’ve seen indicates that it’s basically Fallout 4 in space. Though the base building aspect seems way less clunky than Fallout 4's implementation.

Pretty much. As Skyrim and Fallout 4 proved, BGS doesn’t know how to make compelling procedural content. I guess that’s why my interest in Starfield has been relatively low. The emphasis on scale means a heavy reliance on procedural content and that’s going to get old real quick. You can make a big universe with millio…

And the content will likely be in the form of random encounters and/or radiant quests. They’ll be ok the first time around, but each time they repeat, the more boring it will become.

Starfield’s planets and star systems, which Howard described as a balance between “the handcrafted content [and] open procedural planet experience”

Casual, stressless survival seems just like the ticket - I mean, who hasn’t daydreamed about being stranded like Tom Hanks in Cast Away but with more flotsam like cargo containers filled with food, medicine and barbecue equipment turning up on the beach, and for a shorter period of time (like a few months) before…

I’m agnostic on this issue as a huge fan of hardcore survival games and a fan of passive survival games.
