I said come in! posted:The story reminds me a lot of those conservatives that misunderstood Rage Against the Machine, but instead the devs somehow completely misunderstood Bioshock. I think it is more that for a variety of reasons they made a game that is afraid of being too critical of Russia, the United States, communism, and capitalism so it can't actually form a strong message. The best it gets is 'gay space communism only works if there is no inequality at all' and even that is halfhearted.

That is not the game's open world area, and nobody uses 'open world' to refer to gameplay vs cutscenes. 1glitch0 posted:That one had a crush.

I am contrarian because the more Microsoft gives up the less I want the deal to go through because they absolutely think they are going to benefit enough to justify it and that probably isn't good in the long run. But either way it is absurdly wealthy companies fighting over fake real money so eh.

I have no idea what they were thinking with the subtitles. Like 'make the text float above a character head' is fine in an RPG or something but not the tiniest text in the universe in a FPS

I played it more run and gun and made it through easy enough. Once you get the chainsaw blade on a stick go and grab the magnet upgrade for it. It kills everything including bosses in seconds

Feels Villeneuve posted:i think that's because the tweet called it a "soviet power fantasy" It both is and isn't. The areas it is critical of don't overlap much with the 'utopia' elements. It is like the kind of American power fantasy where the corrupt few ruin the dreams of guns and freedom.

I can reliably get through phase one now after an hour or so of trying, but I can barely even make a dent in phase two. Focus on countering red moves.

I said come in! posted:All of the arguments against the merger have been made in bad faith, from both governments, and Sony. There is really no reason to not allow this merger, and I say this as a pretty anti-capitalism person. This can do nothing but benefit consumers, and employees, assuming Phil Spencer follows through on his promise of allowing people to form a union. It benefits corporations but lol at it benefitting consumers in any way that isn't Sekiro on gamepass. The arguments by Sony have been silly but any benefit to customers is 'maybe some old free stuff on Xbox' Any large corporation consolidating more power is always a bad thing even if it means Wolverine can beat up Luke Skywalker.

MJBuddy posted:Tencent owns almost half of Fortnite and the underlying engine technology for a majority of the gaming industry, and 100% of Riot. No one cared. I'm not sure where you're looking but Tencent's buy-ins tend to be a news story and still gets brought up pretty regularly. Like even if they buy 5% stake or whatever I instantly see a bunch of fearmongering about it. poo poo I saw people going "Well if Tik-Tok gets banned what about (x thing Tencent is involved in)" during the height of all that mess. I said come in! posted:They are overreacting to the problems from what i've seen and heard from others. I guess i'll know tonight when I play too! But every other review has been able to finish the game. I mostly am just wondering how they are playing the game when their twitter profile proudly claims they buy every game they review.

Lammasu posted:You realize Twitch and YouTube wouldn't have continued to exist if they weren't acquired by a large corporation. I won't pretend I don't watch either but considering Youtube is one of the single largest peddlers of racism and conspiracy theories because their negligent owners are afraid to upset people and Twitch is a breeding ground for harassment and terrible people, I am not sure that is actually a net positive instead of "not terrible people can use this too and hopefully that outweighs some of the immense damage and exploitation involved." MJBuddy posted:Admittedly I don't think I can separate what people tend to see vs what I notice because I pay a lot of attention to it. I honestly don't think people would know that Tencent is the largest gaming company in the world, despite even the constant news flow over the MS/ACTI buy. Most people would assume Nintendo or Sony. I don't think you're wrong there to be fair. It's something that gets brought up more in specific circles than general knowledge. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Apr 28, 2023 |

Wiltsghost posted:Like, the game isn't great but the "discourse" or whatever has been pretty pathetic with this game, or maybe just gaming in general lately. I don't know what point I'm trying to make but seeing stuff like this makes me sad. I think people, especially at this moment in time, are pretty geared up to be annoyed/angry at multiplayer-focus loot games because they have pretty much all turned out to be crappy and predatory and have devoured some popular franchises or studios. They had their moment in the sun but now all we're getting is crap fad-chasers long after the fad has died.

webmeister posted:lmao loving hell, that's even worse than i thought So I will say that what I hate most about it is that I feel like it fundamentally misunderstands Gollum as a character which is a pretty big flaw. It has a half-baked morality system where Smeagol is "good" and Gollum is "bad" and sometimes they argue. And in theory I like the idea of one side having to convince the other to go along with something except Gollum being divided into Good and Evil is dumb as hell. The game tries to paint Smeagol as a pure innocent good boy struggling against the evil Gollum but Smeagol wasn't that. He was kind of sad and pathetic and desperate and servile but he still had mischief in him and a theoretical 'good' Smeagol was by no means pure. He wasn't a sweet boy who just wanted to pet birds and chase butterflies. Instead the writers clearly went "Well, GOOD vs EVIL right??"

I'm sure I came close but honestly if I got to the point it was draining dead I'd need to stop playing anyway so I don't turn into a lump. That said I turned the speaker on that motherfucker off right away which probably helps.

syntaxfunction posted:CoD is no more unstoppable than Halo was, or Quake, or Gears of War. It's kind of ridiculous to assume the end of history has arrived lol Eh, it kind of is. CoD hit at exactly the right time and place to basically take full control of a market and at this point it has such raw inertia that it will take more than someone else making a good game to break it. The current market also is so fractured that it is hard for anything to gain remotely the same power. People like CoD because it is the one FPS you can be assured everyone will be playing and will have a sustained life at least until the next entry. It could eventually fade away of course but it isn't as simple as making a good game that people would rather play. Having the assured online community is a major part of its success even when it releases lovely games.

I don't know if it was goon telephone or what but I remember hearing something in the old 360 thread around the time of release that the devs didn't like the association with Card and did as much as they could to downplay it. It sounds like wishful thinking bullshit to me, but I can believe it, they made their best effort not to include any characterizations for the villains. Just makes it hard to expand the universe
