Phlegmish posted:Yes, as in, the enemy is understood to have committed mass rape and that is one of the reasons why they're so bad and we have to fight them. Not that they use rape as part of the actual gameplay. How would that even work? v funny to be writing long walls of text but being unable to grasp why the structure of that sentence sounds the way it does and the question "why is murder ok but rape is bad huh??" is a reddit incel mra question. no one cares about regular sex stuff. theres many types of violence of which rape is one that are often out of bounds because using them would be insanely gross, and especially using dooms violence as an example to put next to rape is a galaxy brain level comparison. none of this is complicated or difficult to understand if you re brain consists of more than a little earthworm wiggling around on your spine.

love to talk about the situation in the last year where some now ex mods did literally heinous stuff to run interference for a domestic abuser and relate that to a thread title changing to better represent the content in it bcos i get upset and scared when something changes. anyway if you need to hear more PM me i hjave plenty more thoughts about things such as the new dcu direction and why zach snyder was robbed

Hub Cat posted:Hi please don't put words in my mouth. I'm absolutely not loving okay with the domestic abuser or mods covering for a domestic abuser but that is not what I am talking about and I'm pretty sure you know that. Call me a tedious baby overserious idiot afraid of change if you want but don't insinuate I'm a gamer shithead. then why bring it up instead of saying "i dont agree with the title change" lol no one made you say "This isn't about the title, we just went through like a year of forums poo poo a lot of which was caused by an adversarial relationship between the mods and posters" which is directly referencing that and drawing a comparison, one which in this fair goosn opinion, is completely disgusting when the discussion is "the thread is the same but the title is different now, help". you literally say "this isnt about the title" i cannot read that post any more generously because u do not allow me to because of how you wrote it. in the future maybe just say you dont want the title changed instead of coming up with galaxy brain takes, that would be my advice.

Hub Cat posted:Okay maybe I wasn't being clear mea culpa, I'm talking about the other nonlowtax related blowups like the Fyad thing, the cspam mod thing, the PPJ thing. Giant thread happening about the one right now. ah right just all these other things that deal with serious issues and also are either by people literally not here anymore or specific mods in one subforum im guessing, dont knwo what the cspam thing is. but the other two are about mods who dont exist anymore and were about if people were being transphobic and harassing people, and about a mod playing friends with actual nazis. whereas here what we are dealing with is the high crime of a thread title changing to what the thread is actually about, and you felt the need to compare that to the former stuff unprompted and inexplicably. probably because the argument "i jsut dont like it" lacks the weight u were looking for when finding a reason for acting out over absolutely nothing. continuing to say "its not about the title" is directly and unequivocally framing a thread title being changed to what it should be to really serious stuff and you should stop saying that, probably.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:The SSD stuff on PS5 is completely overblown and would've been entirely portable to the PC years ago, let alone today. Plus you don't even need a fast SSD to do what Ratchet is doing, just program the game competently. Sony is just finding interesting looking stuff to slap their "only possible with the PS5 SSD" label on. cannot wait to buy a ssd that doesnt exist yet let alone years ago while loading entire scenes of 4k assets into memory quick enough to not need to pause from my 2016 sata ssd because you can now get around data transfer speeds by "programming the game competently"

And it's definitively not chill in any way but suffocates the player with those exact system failures that have been there from day one. i bought ed at launch and pop back into it once a year and i still feel like i was ripped off but i can jump into nms every few months and have fun with it for a week

Trying to get back in it, tried the heavy bowgun, thinking yeah I'll machine gun dinosaurs all day, but there aren't any wicked sweet combos, you just run a short distance and press the trigger. I can play any other thousand games to do that. My first 40 hours played two years ago was with the switch axe, which was cool but wanted to try something new this time around. charge blade owns, i played it after maining switch axe as well and its a good fit if you liked switch axe

The 7th Guest posted:i think about stuff like minecraft, fortnite, etc, where normies will buy any device that has it, because they have to have it in every room, and on their phone. elder scrolls definitely falls into this category as it has been ported to so many things that people thought the "Skyrim on Alexa" was a skit and it was in fact a real thing this is backwards, you put the big titles people not into tech want to get them to buy your device, because otherwise they by the one with momentum/the thing they had last, which if you have no games is not your platform. this is the exact issue xbox had this generation. if tes and fallout arent xbox only for consoles microsoft should fire their entire marketing team.

zedprime posted:They're probably going to be Xbox console exclusive (note the console qualifier there pedants a lot of the best selling ps4 titles are ps4 exclusives. the 360 is more complicated because in the end it was third place, ps3 ended up overtaking it... because sony ramped up making ps3 titles while microsoft spent multiple years just making kinect games. i dont think microsoft can be called an underdog in any market they enter given their size.

) but they're the underdog trying weird things. Exclusives don't really feel like why the 360 or PS4 won their generation specifically. More those were just the easiest places to play games. That seems to be the goal for the Xbox this generation so I also won't be surprised if they use the studios to create games with the marquee features like PC cloud saves and streaming to PCs and Windows tablets with a timed exclusivity window where the same game is released without that stuff on a Playstation eventually.

i mean mhw is good for not putting content behind its dlc but it doesnt really excuse the game having like 200 pieces of insanely overpriced cosmetic dlc, thats not there because its fair or to lure in people who are able to be responsible with their money. its pretty egregious even if the game is overall "better" about this stuff than others. but just because theres a bunch of games that are completely off the wall with how bad their mtx are doesnt make the less bad examples good.

Morter posted:I'm not saying you have to like the game or approve of their practices, but making a stink about there being a 'large total dollar amount of DLC' because everything is individually itemized is really loving disingenuous, IMO, and the furthest stretch to get to 'predatory'. its polygons. theyre tiny little models. its priced out individually with a high overall cost for all of them but small individual prices specifically because that structure side steps the part of some peoples brains that tell them not to buy them. you do not make $400 worth of $1 dlc for any reason other than fishing for whales who will buy it all over a couple of years because they can easily rationalise each individual purchase. read this part of your post again: Morter posted:Also, back on the subject of "lots of stuff in store, ergo bad!", please be aware of the 43 items being 'figures'--little items you put in your 'Room' (your little semi-designable abode that you do functional in, just look and maybe take pictures), and 42 of them are Pendants: little danglies you can put on your weapon. then think what the incentive is for the company to make these and price them out the way they have a bit more critically. its a dual purpose of allowing people who do not personally fall into buying it to easily rationalise it as fine because "its just some little trinkets. theyre only $2 each. you dont HAVE to buy them. its not ACTUAL content." while at the same time allowing people who do fall into buying them to easily rationalise each singular purchase with the exact same logic while they buy every single one and spend hundreds on digital junk without ever being fully cognizant of the real cost.
