Seems weird that people will overreact to shade thrown on a game because of some other person (possibly) having cultural wrongthink, but I guess I can potentially buy that reasoning in 2018/2019.

Note that I'm not saying that people who hate the game are chuds, just that widespread social cues are proven to influence group perception of products that aren't already widely loved or hated, resulting in a lot of polarized opinions. it was popular and the latest placeholder for GAMES ARE SERIOUS ART, MOM, that's enough

i like it because of the third person stealth combat, which is better than people give it credit for, and i think why the people in this thread like it

It's only gotten worse since Left Behind released, and some of the jeering that happened during live audience trailer reveals of TLoU 2 was loving embarassing.

I dont care for tLou because its mechanically kind of boring gameplay wise with some awful encounter design at some points and unfortunately for the game I aint here for your cutscenes about whatever the hell character crap you want me to care about. Its not a terrible game by any stretch, even if youll see it get tons of "its art!!!!" and people reactong to that, and it will always get a small nod from me for teaching a lot of people just how long a giraffes tongue is and freaking them the gently caress out.

Anyone who thinks TLoU has boring mechanics hasn't played TLoU : Factions, and is therefor a chud.

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:Is there a particular reason why this game is so divisive and why the same goon(s) come out of the woodwork to defend it whenever a harsh word is said? Wolf ET is the greatest multiplayer game ever but I don't give a single gently caress if any of you don't like it. I have a tendency to defend it not because I care whether or not someone likes it, but because most of the people who poo poo on it like to so matter of factly state their their dumb opinions on it. It’s really not a very divisive game outside of this thread or circles of chuds due to the lesbian thing. Not that I think that is why some goons hate it. Seems more gameplay related here. I just think the gameplay is really loving great, and when people bag on it it’s usually pretty apparent that they missed something fundamental about what makes the gameplay good and have decided to blame the game instead of their own lack of creativity.

ET had worse maps and the added classes made it worse. Give me base RTCW and beach map all day.

steinrokkan posted:Would they sue the dev if it's the Valve Corporation that sells, distributes and manages the product? That doesn't seem right. Yes, because Valve doesn't necessarily guarantee GDPR compliance. If it pleased them, the EU could sue Valve in order to forbid the sale of non-compliant games in their territories, but that's not really a monetary case yknow? It would be resolved once Valve removed the offending titles from their storefront. My understanding is that the GDPR isn't really something that you can sue for money over--it's just a guarantee of privacy-or-else--but technically the developer who released the software might be on the hook for violating/ignoring regulations. It's the responsibility of the individual, after all, but in reality, it's sadly just another way to gently caress the little guy while letting wealthier legal entities do whatever they want. It'd probably go down like this: the dev made the conscious decision to use Unity, so it's their responsibility to make their game compliant with the regulations because they agreed to the fine print ToU when they installed the Unity Editor. Pay $500 and rectify the problem or you can't sell your game in our territories anymore. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Dec 30, 2018 |

I mean, I work back office for a major retailer (of the brick and mortar kind) and AFAIK all the responsibility for GDPR compliance falls onto us, so that's why I'm surprised. I guess software distribution works different. The idea of suing for cash was just a joke.

Put it this way: if your store stocked hard copies of Fallout 76 (lol) and Bethesda was mining all their players' private information with specific identifiers (and who knows they might be doing this anyway and it just hasn't been found yet  ), would you be on the hook for something that was unknowable to you because you have no access to the source code? Or would it fall in the lap of Bethsoft?Or if you were selling idk smart TVs or whatever, and the Chinese manufacturer hid some malicious data collection methods in the firmware, but it wasn't found for a couple years but by an enthusiast in their basement or whatever. Would you be on the hook for that? Or would the government fine the original manufacturers?

TLOU is a typical over-the-shoulder, cover shooter. The crafting is interesting but nothing revolutionary. Metal gear solid already defined the stealth genre 15 years ago, nothing special here. The story is something from the walking dead and people eat that poo poo up. It’s the Witcher but for zombie games. Nerd bait.
