There seems to be a recent surge of critiques of this game going around and it sort of dumbfounds me. I’m certainly no gaming expert, and really only splurge on a handful of titles in any given year, but from all the games I have ever played RDR 2 is so far one of the most stunning masterful accomplishments I have…

This is an odd criticism for this game considering nearly every open world does this, and frankly RDR2 does it better than just about anyone else.

Like what you like, don’t buy what you don’t like; but it bums me out when single-player-centric stuff goes online multiplayer. I never bought Old Republic, despite adoring KOTOR 1 and 2; I didn’t buy Elder Scrolls Online despite loving Oblivion and Skyrim; and I surely won’t buy this.

If you want to know how this game plays just run aimlesly around in Fallout4 killing enemies, do not talk to anyone or anything and just build your base nonstop. I hope this game finds its audience but I sure as hell am bummed out that this is not proper Fallout game

I don’t think cultural awareness requires that you know what The Elder Scrolls is. So many people don’t play games and wouldn’t have any idea. 

But for the love of all that is holy, please, please take five seconds to determine if something is a joke before getting all self-righteous

Yeah, no one was defending his jokes - we were defending 2018 James Gunn, when it was 2008-2012 James Gunn that got fired.

What a topsy-turvey world we live in. Literally everyone in the world has told an off-colour joke in the past. The only difference is that Gunn did it on Twitter.

Welp. If the game was centered around playing with others and it dies out quickly then it wasn’t meant to be. You aren’t missing much if the collection of early adopters couldn’t hang around or give good enough praise for the stragglers to jump onboard. In single player games this doesn’t matter as much. 

Nintendo: Failing to know what our consumers want since 2002!!!!

Nintendo: Fuck you and buy one of our boxes. The box doesn’t have your game? Fuck you HARDER.

“We don’t want you to enjoy our work from unauthorized sources. The only legitimate modern-day way to enjoy our classic, timeless work is by trampling each other to get a NES or SNES classic during their extremely limited runs. We hope that what you want to play is one of the 50 games across both devices. We will not…

Good joke.

“Such visitors are drawn to the website by the widespread availability of free, unauthorized copies of Nintendo’s video games and other highly valuable intellectual property.”

I’ve been interested in NMS since the last couple major updates but I’m still waiting for it to be like 15 bucks because I know regardless of the quality, it’s a game I’ll play for 3 or 4 hours and never touch again. Still want to check it out at this point though.

This is easily still 5 to 10 years off and that’s being conservative. I’d say a more realistic timeline is 10 to 20 years.

Not to mention that, even if you DO live in an area with high speed internet access, you’ll likely have to pony up for higher speed than you’d normally need. I get by with a cheap $30/mo deal that gets me fast enough internet to stream HD video on a pair of devices. But to get something fast enough to get lag-free…

Can’t wait for games to feel like shit to play, have compression artifacts and not be able to play at all when my internet has issues or their servers have issues, which happens WAY MORE THAN IT SHOULD on both Sony’s and Microsoft’s end.

Conceptually, I agree. The removal of the platform as some sort of stranglehold on software sales would be beneficial to all, including platform holders that are not Nintendo. More sales, no loses on hardware sales or R&D.

Not sure how viable this is in the near future, or even in the long term.
