Even if you don't actually care about what you're arguing about it's important to pick a side and then be willing to die defending it no matter how untenable your position.

:siren: warning: this turns into an unfocused e/n post :siren:


FFXIV is such a weird thing to me right now. I like it but I want to like it more. Idk if it’s the jrpg part or the mmo part, maybe both, but regardless the game has me teetering more and more towards “this is not the game for me”, sometimes even dipping into “this is not a good game, objectively (yes I have the power to rate things objectively)” at times. And yet I’m undoubtedly still having fun, like actual fun. Confusing

There’s a seasonal event happening in the game atm, and it comes with a tiny short story about a catboy learning that fake self-confidence is unattractive, and at the end, after I thought about it, I just went, “this is so bad, it’s so stupid”. Then I thought about the cinematic:gameplay ratio once again, and I thought about how across all of the quest storylines and characters I’ve encountered thus far in like 200 hours, they rarely ever make me feel an emotion, while the game thinks they should. They could all die in the next main quest cutscene and at most that would earn a “ooh I wonder what’s gonna happen next” from me

Yes I definitely need a break. I’ll have to compete with the FOMO mmos are built around (fommos, we call them) but I’ll manage

Video games

follow you r heart and stop playing. your impulse is correct. the further u get the goalpost of when the game gets "good" will only be placed fruther and further away to goad you into wasting so much time you feel obligated to the game. free yourself. i believe in you.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:

In the early 2000s, there were usually several large AA/AAA game releases every single month, with some months-long stretches having multiple per week. There was always something exciting coming out from a medium-to-large team (for the era) in almost every genre.

Nowadays, there are more new game releases than ever, but even if you take away the asset flip garbage, most of what's left are indie games. And there's lots of cool stuff coming out all the time from indie devs, but they seem more targeted to very specific audiences and not really the kinds of games that generate widespread hype. The number of "AA/AAA" game releases have slowed to a crawl. That's the price you pay when every AAA game has to be a sprawling epic made by a thousand people now I guess.

nah we still get tons, also most of the ones in the 2000s were trash.

I got a PS5 a month or two ago and I'm already using it ten times more than my PC for gaming and 100 times more than my Switch (which hasn't been turned on since Metroid Dread).

The new PS+ library is a godsend for the console. I've got months worth of cool fun games to keep me going until God of War and the TLOU remake. And the two games I'm most hype for right now (FF16 and 7R2) will be PS5 exclusive for at least a year or two.

god of war and tlou are pc games and the second one is the second remake in two generations. can only concludie your first statement stems from a n incredible lack of taste in games .

The PS5 enhanced games have been on par with the ultra settings of their PC ports, so it's a non-issue still. The Switch is on hardware from 2015 and no one cares about that.

ones $500 and the size of a house op. also has not been on par at all. further to this it has no games. conclusion: the consol eis fail.

This might be the solution to a game I've been having trouble running right for a few years now.

it works a lot better in my experience for anything that just hates VMs. it is actual emulation tho so u do need to do stuff like, get the drivers for the video card you pick to emulate and pack them into an iso to load as a "cd". but it doesnt cause the weirdness vms do where games freak out at the resolution and nonstandard for the time gpu. lets u run a normal res for the era and cleanly scale it up as well.
