The back paddles are game changers. You can press all at the same time without difficulty (great for fighting games) and they can be accessed without taking your thumb off the right thumbstick (great for shooters).

Not trying to defend SONY or pricing it’s just, players have been spending this or more for years now, well before this recent inflation, on SCUF and such. It’s barely more than the Elite Series 2.

And since the commenter in question dismisses every sensible criticism to the contrary:

People saying “wow, the rapid change in circumstance is suspicious! from someone capitalizing on their fame and life for profit too!” can fuck off.

They’ll often act like they’ve given in and given up when caught though.

Was absolute floored at this. Watching the videos of the abuse in unfolding was very painful to watch, the text messages, everything just totally abhorrent. Hoping her situation improves from here on out.

Some things to take away from this a little bit extra:

This is regular competitive, so just regular players for the most part. These complaints are certainly not from high ranked or pro players. 

God can’t believe these journalists are doing such un-journalist like things such as *checks notes* reporting out on what normal people experiencing a problem have to say about said problem.

Gosh, all these complaints about Overwartch and not one article on how Splatoon players are complaining about Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 being much harder than it was in Splatoon 2.

Not to mention the constant connection errors, or maybe how long it takes to get ability chunks to customize gear unless you grind all day.

Their new monetization scheme makes me miss loot boxes. That says it all.

Huh. Probably a map editing tool for checking things against generic player/human height, right? Make sure everything is scaled correctly. And then they took these map beauty shots in those dev tools and didn’t uncheck a box to hide them. Kinda neat.

I’m actually split because as a daily warzone player, I encounter cheaters daily. My understanding is that this would cut down on it because once you’re banned, you can’t just fire up a new account. Cheaters ruin the game and I know that no matter what anti cheats they have, it will always be defeated. Having said…

I’m in the queue for a promotion at work(already doing the job but paperwork needs to get done). When it goes through I’m buying a steam deck as a my gift to myself.

For someone whose literal job is acting, Pratt sure did not convince me he has ever even seen a video game. Dude sounded like they were making him adlib with a gun just offscreen moments after he hit a blunt.

People just can’t get enough of “Grimace with more eyes than Grimace normally has” I guess.

I think the key takeaway is that it’s a game as a service. Normally, when you beat a game, and new game plus if it exists, the game is over. But players have continued to play Genshin, being excited to experience the new content and take it on with the characters they’ve built up over hundreds of hours (and dollars),…
