Gets carried away in overly rambly rants about unimportant bullshit, uses fancy words without understanding their meaning, has a complete lack of self awareness.
Likes budgies.
Well shit… The last time I saw memes about how ridiculous an Apple product looked, they were about the AirPods and they ended up being ridiculously popular.
It doesn’t matter how silly it looks to us at first, Apple could convince people that wearing dog feces on their face looks cool. Unfortunately.
I am currently one of the scrubs you beat in Tekken 8 on your way to the red ranks
The tradeoff kinda made sense at the dawn of streaming, when the transaction was basically trading quality for better pricing and convenience.
Nowadays? Yeaaaaah I don’t know about that chief
Crazy to think that we lost all the advantages that streaming offered, kept all the disadvantages, piled on a few more disadvantages on top of that, and people went “sure that makes sense 24 bucks a month worth it bro”
waaaay out of the timeframe you have specified (it is a 2020 game that is still actively updated) but still with the same vibes, I’d check out Easy Red 2, as it scratches that specific itch of a WW2 shooter with scale. It is maybe too open at times for my taste but it is one of the very few modern games covering that niche. It does have optional squad management gameplay elements but you can ignore those in favor of playing a simple soldier, and the AI will do those jobs for you.

It sure is fascinating how surges in the usage of pirate platforms tend to coincide with eras of worsening value proposition in entertainment. We should really get some top notch analysts on this to get an explanation.
This sounds like something that would be played on The Genius, I’m all for it
For me getting the full Murphy journey is not worth the metric ton of diarrhea that seasons 6 and 7 dump on season 5’s beautiful, emotional ending; but it is a matter of personal preference I feel.
BTDubs while there are fellow cultured The 100 fans prowling around, if you are looking to scratch that The 100 itch, I’ll quickly recommend Yellowjackets as that show is the closest thing to The 100 at the moment imo.
Ah so glad to see someone else mention The 100, it was one of my guilty pleasure shows. When it is bad it is bad , but when it is good it is as good as anything else out there. It also has some of my favourite end of season cliffhangers of all time.
If you do check it out make sure to get off at the end of season 5 because that’s the best ending you are gonna get.
I’ve always strongly believed that so I’m happy that someone else mentioned it
Hm yeah you are right, I shouldn’t deride the public for hoping this time it would be different. That was too harsh on my part.
The fact that this is even news at all confirms, yet again, that the memory of the general audience of the videogame industry only goes back to the last 6 to 8 months, if that.
Until I get my Legend Of Dragoon remake, there aren’t too many, no. After that ya’ll can do what you want
goddammit even the silliest memes become real, I’m done with this reality
If this is true… Oof…
Like, imagine losing your job because somebody decided to drop over 70 milion in something like this… I bet everybody affected would have predicted that this needed to be canned way earlier. Yet the people responsible for this unforced error will be largely unaffected because since business is accepted to be a gamble at times, I guess that means you get to make stupid mistakes that ruin hundreds of livelihoods for no reason and just go oops, my bad, we’ll have to do a tactical restructuring I guess.
Seriously, the first trailer was unanimously received with “another one of these games?” reactions. There is no excuse for any dollar spent after that! Anybody could have told you it was a miss! Aaaarrrgh.
Also much less important but still frustrating, knowing that so many properties under SEGA have struggled to get a budget and support, while they were spending all of the money in a fire pit instead. Now that it’s been cancelled, we can say ANYTHING would have been a better use of that money. Don’t ever let SEGA tell you that anything would be a bad project ever again! Oh, SEGA, you still think a localized port to modern platforms of Valkyria Chronicles 3 would be a bad project? Well let me tell you, it sure as hell wouldn’t have lost DOZENS OF MILLIONS.
And in that line, nothing hurts more for me personally than knowing all of the issues that the Total War franchise has had, with products that didn’t get the development time they needed, additional content policies that went way overboard with pricing, very small degree of evolution and investment between entries… And the money that could have gone to that consistently performing franchise that has no true substitute competitors was instead going to… To burn it in a pit with funny colors and masks and dances and…
Man, I just cannot. Man.
lol that’s how I approach turn based rpgs, using items is admitting defeat
Anybody who’s ever played a classic Resident Evil-style game knows the feeling of getting to the final monster with all the hoarded ammo for your ultimate weapon (magnum/hunting rifle/flare gun/whatever)… Only for the monster to die in like at most a single-stack of shots because it turns out that the “ultimate lifeform” is weaker than a moderately sized car -_-
A 100%, some of the things that you hear from the industry are crazy. If you offered me twice my current salary to be a developer in the AAA videogame industry, I wouldn’t take it.
I think a handful apply for me, but the biggest case is probably WoW Classic. It felt like a can’t miss, lightning in a bottle kind of moment, so I absolutely had to be there. I’m glad I did, as it reminded me both why I love the game so much, as well as why I don’t play it anymore.
when you get a god run with a good synergetic build this game is insanely satisfying
