Youre framing of the thought process around MTX ignores profit motivation.

I enjoy racing sims occasionally. Heres the thing. I know the game isnt made for me. Its a cross between a game for the guy with the cool driving chair setup (which i think is fine and am mildly jealous of) and the guy who thinks vin diesel looks tougher in F&F than he did in the Riddick movies.

cool. figured i would check and see if i needed to forewarn you about the surprise frustrations likely never ending.

theyre vying for attention. Destiny changed the game and by the time fortnite came along games companies were at a crossroads. You could take big swings and hope for buy in to your title to pay off with many purchasing your game at full price, OR you could just make an okay game really addicting and drip feed…

had you not played a dark souls game before going into elden ring?

Im actually playing through witcher 3 right now and i gotta say for how engaging the story has been ive been pretty let down by most everything else.

Different sentence different implications.

Youre right, that is a logical fallacy when you rework the context of a clumsy sentence.

your quote isnt in the article

there are rules around what constitutes common knowledge and doesnt need proof in a news article. Its sort of like reasonable assumptions in court.

not here to comment on Elon, i have something else to add.

I don’t know if “buggy as hell” is one of the qualities I look for in a functioning product.

Meh. I want couch co-op.

I see where i lost you. Im not advocating for a return to anything classic as far as gameplay elements or processing capabilities. Im just angry over the evolution of themes.

Bullshit like this is why i really wish video games had stayed within their classic theme of things that made no sense (like mario or sonic or an even better example rocket knight)

Ya i gotta say i was a huge fan of the series all the way right up to origins. (Unity let me down hard but hey)

I worked construction for six weeks. Beers every day at lunch. The dirty looks i got saying i didnt want to drink too much too were enough to realize that you best go along to get along.

Youre premise lies in a logical fallacy. i.e. that because behaviour is potentially harmless the working assumption of behaviour in this circumstance should be that it is harmless.

no thats how i would say i saw things too. I didnt mean my criticism to seem pointed or anything.

I think youre making alot about nothing. If seeing that insane machine fly together with electro magic somehow made you think “but in reality...” then you really arent enjoying video games like you should.
