Hey FYI Your title doesn’t make any sense? The video appears to be for some Mac/iphone version of Resident Evil 4 not a VR one?

agreed about the stupid dark mode

They did.

1) changing cultural mores. Things in the past are certainly different from now. You might also remember western games getting pilloried for sexual content—for instance the now infamous GTA San Andreas hot coffee mod kerfuffle.

I was gonna say, 15 years ago you would have unlocked them by just playing the game in the first place

Don’t. 👏 Pay. 👏 For $#!&. 👏You. 👏 Don’t. 👏 Need.

Fake currencies are such a flagrantly scummy monetization scheme. They’re very clearly designed to both obscure the actual cost of MTX while also forcing you to spend more money than you should need to. Developers and publishers should absolutely be called out for it.

“¡Cien dolares! Jesús! Jesús! Aha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”

Because it’s a single player game and over time people become done with them and move onto other stuff? And it also didn’t review as well as their previous games and less people are into it.

>Yes, in a year that’s in the running for the best ever when it comes to new games, a remake managed to beat out Bethesda’s ultra-hyped space epic Starfield, amongst other games.

Where are you reading these conversations? Of all the criticisms I’ve read, either on places like this or the Starfield Reddit, nothing strikes me as “console war nonsense”. And as someone who is slogging through it at the moment just out of a weird need to be DONE with it, I can assure you that none of my criticisms…

You know it’s a slow year for RPGs when Lies of P (possibly the worst name for a video game in history) makes the list. No disrespect to P as it’s a very competent and interesting Soulslike, but that seems like a stretch.

What, there’s no category for ‘game that managed to completely meet everyone’s expectations both positive and negative?’ No award for ‘game that contained not a single surprise’? Voted number one in the category of ‘sure is the kind of game you’d expect this company to make in 2023 without any internal shakeups or…

I know folks keep saying to parent their kids, but it goes beyond that even. These games are intentionally designed to be psychologically manipulative. It’s how they get the money and play time that they do.
