I dont understand why some people think every video game should be catered to their playstyle preferences. It’s ok to not like every single video game. It’s ok if some people like video games that you dont like. Just play what you like and ignore the rest. It’s so easy.
Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.
If you’re on PC, the new Delta Force game is giving me my Battlefield fix. I think its in open beta, but once it fully releases will be on console.
I don’t know, I only got into PC gaming about 3 years ago but my library is easily twice as large as it was when I only had consoles for about 20 years. The initial cost of getting a PC with all the peripherals is quite a bit higher than console but the games are almost always significantly cheaper. The most recent AAA games and some studios like FromSoft are usually the only games selling at $70. On console, the price of a game barely gets lowered. I have a switch and wanted to buy overcooked to play on the go and it’s still $20 dollars and has very few sales. On PC it’s hard not to find it for less than $5 and that’s not even counting key shops.
Buying games through steam is optional. Steam itself is the game manager. I run many of my non steam games through it and don’t pay a dime for it. Alternatively I can buy steam games through 3rd party stores. The steam client on your machine is free.
Do you pay for steam?
My understanding is you can transfer save files between consoles and PC. But in coop you can only play with other people on the same platform you’re currently on.
That’s not how lying works. If you make a claim and it’s not true, it’s a lie, even if it is true later
Some older ps2 games like monster inc and finding Nemo sell for like $100 last I saw. Before they mastered them for modern consoles, kingdom hearts was about $60 for ps2
Not sure what adblocker has to do with piracy, but the right to use adblocker is an even easier argument to make. I don’t see why anyone shouldn’t be able to parse through files downloaded from an http request however they want. I doubt most people read every bit of text from every web page they visit, why make an exception for ads? That’s like feeling obligated to reading every bit of junk mail that makes it way into your mailbox after you sign up for a new credit card.
I’ve not seen many pirates say that they expect companies to roll over and give them stuff. The biggest push for piracy I’ve seen is because companies refuse to sell their products. It’s all licenses to use which can be revoked at any time. Many people aren’t interested in licenses and since there is no legal way to actually purchase most games or movies, that just leaves pirating.
Or the servers do know that and don’t want to collect on a few extra bucks to lose their job the next day.
I downloaded Newpipe from the Fdroid app store and it works very similar go freetube
When I create a world for the first time it might take a couple minutes, but after the initial creation it’s really quick to load up a game
Maybe trolls. In the article there is a picture of trending phrases, all of which have 1000s of posts except for Trump is a coward, which has less than 500, but I assume they were all made within a short time span so that’s how they made the trending list
It’s actually come a long way since it first became available. I remember playing 10 years ago and some animals like deer didn’t have walking animations and would hop around the map
Thanks, I guess I don’t see many from mander out on /all lol
Edit: love the use of y’all’re lmao
Why do I just see your name as Gloomy without the @servername?
To be fair, this happens with the release of every soulslike
I agree games often come with features that are worthy of complaint. I really don’t think the parry feature that this author speaks on is one of them though. At least not in their given examples. I’ll admit I have not yet played Clair Obscur, but the other example given was of Dishonored, a game the author claims is beloved to them. I’ve played Dishonored 1 and 2 several times over. It is an extremely re-playable series because it offers players a multitude of ways to go about each mission. The parry feature of that game is in no way necessary for many play styles. Forgetting the fact that you can play through the game as a pacifist, parrying isn’t even necessary if you wanted to charge every enemy head on as a blood-thirsty maniac.
The author talks about i-frames and hitboxes as if those concepts can’t enter into a conversation with casual gamers. Its ok, if you want to play a game that doesn’t require a lot of thought when it comes to those two things, but there are tons of games that fit that bill. Even ones that have parry mechanics like Batman and Spiderman games. It’s the equivalent of saying that double jumping is a bad mechanic because its not physically possible in real life, so it doesn’t belong in video games… Oh wait the same author said that too! Under a picture of Elden Ring of all games!
tldr; The author specifically complains about 100% optional mechanics that in no way affect one’s ability to play the game otherwise.
