Milo and POTUS posted:Hey speaking of, what's with the video that plays on the paywall? Some little kid sticks his head in a window and screams Cleveland or something and it's weird as poo poo. It is from The Boogey Man (1980) and the doomed child is saying "Boogey Man." Until I had this explained to me, I thought he was saying "freedom" or something like it.

Like, the one in the video would require some nimble legs. The combo counter goes up a hundred in a few seconds.

Not exactly a "meltdown" but a loooot of Smash Bros. fans got upset recently when a new DLC fighter was announced and it was another Fire Emblem character.

This, plus the endless "leaks" that are always, always wrong. Someone makes up a rumor that Doom Guy/Dante/a Minecraft block will be in Smash, people believe it, then Nintendo reveals Byleth and people get mad because we were PROMISED that other character and Nintendo lied! It's an ugly circle.

A huge chunk of the pokemon sword and shield perpetual rage was that people were ~promised~ their dream game of an open world breath of the wild style game with all like one thousand pokemon in it! Because one guy on reddit did some mockup screenshots of "Wouldn't this be cool, guys?" and everyone went insane and decided gamefreak owed it to them, and were devastated that gamefreak just released yet another pokemon game, like every other pokemon game.

Grizzwold posted:The DLC in question was a silly alt-history scenario for a mapgame involving the Aztecs invading medieval Europe. Is this a real meltdown or some elaborate satire? I can't tell the difference anymore so it goes here. Late to the thread, but I’m resurrecting it because the quoted meltdown in this post reminded me of the goon mourning over Aerith’s death in FF (pretty sure that’s the character/game). Their post used to pop up occasionally, mostly in the goon quotes threads. Anyone else remember it?

I'll never understand people that get angry about stuff like a Pokemon game turning out to be...a Pokemon game. It's like hey they have this successful formula that people seem to be enjoying, why gently caress with it? Personally it isn't my thing like at all but if people are enjoying it then whatever, let people enjoy things and all that but...well we all know what Pokemon games are at this point. Of course the next Pokemon game is going to be a Pokemon game. The gently caress else would it be?

Some adult children got very upset about a "graphical downgrade" for spider man ps4, literally the entirety of which was removing some reflective puddles of water from the ground. They didn't even totally remove the puddles, just made them slightly smaller because they were enormous.

The devs responded saying "There wasn't a downgrade." And explaining why things looked different for X and Y reasons and the gamers argued back that no, things looked different! By now anyone still arguing about it insists that the insomniac devs took to tweeting insults at the playerbase but I straight up can not find any evidence about that, which is weird. Because that would probably be really easy to find.

I'm sure the people whining about graphical downgrades took it as one though. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 15:52 on Feb 28, 2020 |

marshmallow creep posted:You can see some of that in our own SA thread about the game. I think the Watch_Dogs downgrade broke some people, and now they think there are downgrade conspiracies everywhere. Its probably GG related somehow. For context, W_D did actually get a graphical downgrade from the demo, it was apparently intentionally done so the PC version wouldn't look better than the PS3/Xbox360 version. People found out you could go manually edit a settings file on PC and suddenly have way better graphics, pretty much regardless of your hardware.

I like how they act like girls and ladies, people of all ages, and LGBT folks haven't been playing tabletop games until now. I know the pasty nerd stereotype existed, but every tabletop group I've ever been in has had a mix of people. It's never dawned on these tools that it's likely just no one else wanted to play with them specifically.

"I am good, therefore anyone who is different than me is bad. Bad people don't deserve to have fun. If I notice a game might be fun for them, then it will be less fun for me, because imagining a hypothetical bad person, such as a woman or a child or a queer person, having fun will make me angry and ruin my enjoyment of the game."

Chaosium, makers of Call of Cthulhu, were drat near kept afloat by the unplanned but phenomenal popularity of its flagship RPG among older Japanese women. That market segment single-handedly saved them when the company was dying.
