Bioshock infinity is the only game to have ever pissed me off with its story.

Outer Worlds annoyed me, but the gameplay is what made me stop that game.

Starfield is good as hell, 9/10 so far for me but I'm just doin quests in the first big city getting a feel for things. I know I shouldn't ignore the main quest but Walter is an rear end in a top hat so I'm gonna poke around the Well and help out the tree weirdo.

My parents are doing well and the terms of my mortgage are very fair

tree guy wanted me to go talk to his uncooperative collogue on his behalf, perhaps even to threaten him to obtain some data. I said gently caress no, go to your department head. why am I involved in this?

Infinite also pissed me off, which is impressive because that was before I had any political awareness.

the tree side quest and the first quest you’ll likely do in the well are maybe the two worst side quests I’ve seen in the game.

oh, there’s a guided tour you can take of an outpost that’s pretty lovely too because of how long and slow it is and how Bethesda refuses to make escort quests bearable twenty years on.

“go to fifteen spots and press E!” it doesn’t even do a good job of introducing the trade authority which seems to be the whole point of it. also the quest giver is written really odd in a way that seems on purpose but is never brought up again to my knowledge.

The haters are insane and it is funny watching them drive themselves crazy playing and dissecting a game they hate made by people they hate.

there's a certain kind of gamer that gets their rocks off by being the person to hate a thing the most

thinking about the diablo 4 thread and how one of the most prolific posters was someone who played like 80+ hours within the first week it was out, in order to "prove" it was bad

spending that much time in just a week tells me they actually love it, and they want to hug and kiss diablo

I had already found the trade authority lady and talked to her just wondering around before the quest brought me to her, and then the game forces you to of course pick between the two characters you just met five and ten minutes ago to deliver the info to, but gives you no distinguishable reason to pick one over the other?

the game really wants you to know you can do space stagecoach robberies, and that sidequest seems to be one of a few that not so subtly hint “hey, you can rob the bank ships! see, other people are robbing the bank, you can do it too!”

my wife wanted diablo so we got it and played for maybe 2 hours total. it was pretty boring and probably 10 or 20% of the time was dicking around in inventory screens. truly a diab-low point for the series

Some people just like posting negatively about games, stop yucking peoples yums

If I like a game I play it, if I don't I post about it. Otherwise what is there to say, "had a good time, this game is fun"?

Negative critiques are just more interesting imo and fun to read. Certainly more interesting than actually playing something like diablo 4

looks like it has settled down since many are convinced that a recent patch made the game go from being dogwater to actually alright, so the people making hundreds of posts about how bad it is have either changed their mind or moved on to different games to whine about (probably starfield)

I never played Fallout 4, starfield is the first game for me where NPCs actually acknowledge companions, was really taken aback after Andreja's usually :shobon: interjection the other guy said "Lady, who the gently caress are you anyway?"

they had a bit of that in fallout 4. I think the entire process of companions being less static loot carrying mutes happened in the last skyrim expansion.

imo the big problem is that most of the people that get a kick out of constantly yelling about how bad a game is are the sort that are unable to articulate an interesting negative take on it, and prefer to do things like point at a PR tweet as evidence for why a game is the worst

the guys that play starfield despite hating it so they can prove other people didnt have fun are obvious. classic loser goon move. ive done jt. i like the kind of guy who opens up the console immediately upon encountering any issues who is disappointed the game feels very flat and clockwork the them. no notes. they know what they want and they take it.
