New thread title for the steam thread

Who gives a poo poo about anime titty games? Video games are for having fun and if people are having fun looking at anime titties bounce around a sudoku puzzle or whatever, who cares? There’s a lot of vitriol elsewhere about anime titty games (and maybe here)

They definitely should give people a more comprehensive “no anime titties thanks” button though

I put the tag “Anime” into my Steam store banned word list (whatever it’s called) as a joke many years ago and then forgot about it.

Recently I was trying to find “SteamVR” so that I could use a VR headset with Steam. It doesn’t exist. It’s not on the store. Eventually I click the little, “there are hidden titles that match” link. There’s SteamVR. Tagged as “Anime”.

So I downloaded SteamVR and also Anime Girl Adventure Dungeon and Japanese Dating Simulator VR.

Horny is bad because it's one of those things that boosts something higher than it deserves otherwise. A horny game is typically only good for horny, so either you want the horny or the game is just bad. So you'll be there looking for an actual game but horny weebs have pushed these poo poo games higher in the charts, junking them up and making them harder to use.

Which is exactly why they should be cordoned off in their own little subsystem. Though to be fair I haven't been bothered by them for ages between Steam getting better at showing you what you like and me avoiding those games consistently.

Seeing people fight over BotW and Elden Ring is funny to me because they are both not great games.

They both have frameworks of great games. And if you like like that framework your view will be skewed into not seeing the litany of other problems the games have. They truth is they are both 7/10 games. Elden Ring might be 6/10, though. Just cuz the fans are loving insufferable already.

The funny thing about Elden Ring is that 1 week prior a far superior game came out. A VIDEO game that has graphics that make Elden Ring look like the finger paint your 2 year old did that you put on the fridge. It has better sound. The combat is more varied and faster. It has a story. It has top tier voice acting. It is better in literally every single way.

Souls players are the worst. They are the star wars fans of video games.

Elden Ring and the souls games have better voice acting because it's one of the few series to have British accents that aren't just "ooh err cor blimey guv" or "oh how spiffing pip pip cheerio"

Best creepy laughs in gaming too.

Mount and Blade bannerlord is a completely superior game to elden ring anyway because in terms of running around waving swords at people, it has a lot more variety and you can have a bunch of troops, too, if you want.

it's because the british accents are just from them hiring an english VA studio in britain and telling them "hey say all these lines but in english instead of japanese"
instead of asking a bunch of fat stupid americans to sound british

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
i have never played a Zelda game. I did however play hours and hours of Ultima IV on my Commodore 64.

e:i just bought Oceanhorn for my XBone. Is it like Zelda? Oceanhorn's shaping up to be a chill fun little game.

BotW and Elden Ring fall into the same category for me, in games that I just don't like the feel of playing but I love watching someone play in the same room. Like, if someone is in the room and is playing Elden Ring I'll probably watch it and enjoy the game. But I wouldn't play it myself. God of War falls into that as well.

Games I like playing have to feel quick, nimble and sharp. Fast paced shooters, action games where you never stop moving, etc. Or chill walking sims where stuff is happening or being narrated all the time.

When I don't control the game I can appreciate stuff my ADHD brain can't while I'm playing them. It's kind of neat.

And yet I still struggle with watching let's plays.

I haven't played Elden Ring but if you use light weapons and armor Dark Souls combat is pretty snappy. It's not quite Bayonetta or MGR but it can be close.

Breath of the Wild holds the #1 spot on the list of popular games that I just don't get. When I look at it I can't point out a single thing that I thought it did well.


e: I'm convinced its popularity was mostly due to it being the first time Nintento people ever played an open world RPG that wasn't Secret of Mana.

It’s a combination of that and generalized Nintendo fans gonna fan. It’s a good game, but doesn’t do anything new or better than dozens of other open world games that came out earlier.
