not sure on how reliable this article is

nah crossplay is a complete non-issue; everyone just needs to hurry up and recognize Sony as their rightful console gaming overlords and join the darkside. Why worry about crossplay between consoles when there should only be 1 console in the first place!

...no, you definitely could not say “vast library of first party titles” about nintendo

consoles are all about ease and accessibility, as long as PC gaming continues to cost shittons more than console, and may or may not work depending on your drivers/hardware/settings/etc and technical prowess; console gaming will survive

...so, how many times has this game already been made? maybe it’ll actually be fun this time...

then Destiny and other persistent online games simply arent for you

so, I presented 3 major gameplay related reasons to support my argument (that you conveniently dont mention), I’m not gonna provide sources for an internet post.

...wait, I’ll be able to equip 3 shotguns?! /fucking sold

a monthly sub would be more expensive ($120/yr vs $30/yr), and you’d still have to pay for the expansions...

it’s easy for you to say that, but destiny 2 was the direct outcome of ‘community’ complaints from throughout D1; the new shitty weapon system? yup, because ‘everyone’ spent 3 fucking years bitching about how OP shotguns and snipers are/were, so guess what? they fucking nerfed em, just like everyone wanted, and then…

just wanna point out that paying one extra voice actor wouldnt even make a dent in the budget of a AAA video game...hell, the entire voice acting cast is probably worth less than the intro cutscene costs.

I like your list much better, I’m always playing games, but I wouldnt really consider any of my games to be in the article’s categories, your 1, 2, 4, 5 are pmuch exactly how I would instead categorize things

I guess it probably comes down to the individual, but to me, the “glory days” vs modern isnt about style, and QoL improvements should never be removed for their archaic counterparts (fast ravel, respawn timers etc), nostalgia DOES NOT make a good game, nostalgia just makes old games still good.

in the game’s defense, the reported loli rape scene is likely an optional, extremely minor scene in an othewise lengthy game, so to classify the entire game based on this one scene is kinda dumb.

no radar in competitive and shotgun buffs?! fuck yes, finally crucible might be worth playing and D2 worth reinstalling

“A key goal here is to make Shotguns, Snipers, and Fusion rifles more prevalent in the game.”

so...play toukiden? the bad guys are demons, you play as a demon slayer, find the demon, and then in monster hunter style, spend 10-30 minutes slashing it to pieces (although in toukiden, you do literally cut/smash their body parts off), and then when they get close to death, they go berserk, usually changing forms…

but is the game still “only play with these actual pieces of shit because their passive xp gains are the only reasonable way to obtain all those fancy digimon.”?

my biggest argument to support sony’s lack of backwards compatibility: all your old sony consoles still work :P your old xbox though? chances are it’s a brick

isnt it obvious? its because playing the game is fun; fighting the badguys is fun, flying around is fun, supers are fun. If you’ve been paying attention, you’d notice that very, very rarely is anyone asking for combat mechanic changes, no one is ever saying that the game is not fun; all the complaining, all the…
