@LukeAlmighty >games are no longer made for people like you

ain't that the damn truth. that's why most of the time i find something i really like it's either in a mod, an indie game with a very specific target audience, or a game that nobody else seems to like.

well, modern day developers even say this out loud. they do not make games for people like me anymore because it isn't profitable. it is far more profitable to give slop to general audiences who will eat it up like livestock.

or, if a game is actually good, the company is shit. i know i really shouldn't but my dumb ass is still going to buy the new princess peach game coming out because it genuinely looks like a lot of fun, even though nintendo is a shitty company. capcom, sega, and bamco are participating in identity politics bullshit that harms the games and means they will age extremely poorly and only be trendy with an audience that shouldn't be their target demographic for a short period of time. do you really think any real persona fan is going to think of the p3 remake when they go to replay the game?

like, even if these games end up being good overall, the people producing them and sometimes even the people developing them seem like they give no shits about the legacy of the games and have no interest in making something objectively good. they are trend chasers at best and malicious at worst.

@rosey drag me to hell was weird. decent movie i suppose but it didn't really invoke any feeling in me at all.

i'm always like 5 seconds away from never playing another new video game ever again. they're just getting more and more shitty. it's not even nostalgia talking because i can go back and play old games i've never played before and find them way more fun than the new slop that comes out. even if it is extremely refined slop, there's still something missing. even something like baldur's gate 3 which was by all accounts an amazing game did absolutely nothing to hook me beyond the 4 hours i played.

half life, FEAR, and portal are games i have played within the last couple of years i hadn't before. they are absolute gems that are still better than the vast majority of shit that's come out in the past decade.

@hellhammer666 i wish one of my favorite games wasn't made by them. you can't exactly pirate an online game.

@SpurgAnon as in, without a switch? not right now. apparently the guys behind the MIG thing are working on it.

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior yeah it's definitely Joel. You can tell rocksteady kills batman for fun or to be edgy or something, meanwhile Neil cuckmann actually hates Joel and is ideologically opposed to him. Batman's death is stupid and like kindergarten level shit, but Joel's is actively malicious.

Doesn't make any sense either, dude saves you from being eaten by zombies and gets you back to your group safely, and then you find out his name is Joel so THIS MUST BE THE GUY and you kill him.

It seems to be a trend in games lately that the characters are written in a way where you have to suspend all disbelief otherwise they feel like they were intentionally written to be dumb/evil. That kind of thing is all over the place in Tears of the Kingdom too. They hope that the larger narrative will be more impactful than how the characters affect it, without realizing that the reason the narratives were so impactful in the first place was because of the characters.

@RoboftheVolcano that looks like a sims city

@berkberkman @icedquinn I'd much rather just have something external like a cute hologram wife

@greentext move in with me duh

@Pawlicker @xianc78 damn that's wild, we have really nice community recreation centers everywhere and it's like $150 for a year or you can pay I think $10 for a one time thing.

@icedquinn this technology really intrigues me but I'm so worried about something going wrong or getting hacked or something

@PonyPanda it's not even february
