Fucking G*mers, man…

You can never be happy. You always have to be pedantic and condescending to people who actually answer your questions normally. You always have to move the goalposts and play semantics.

“No, you didn’t give me games that are labeled exactly as I want them to be labeled, so you’re wrong and I’m still right.”

You’re just as bad as Republicans nowadays.

And I personally couldn’t care less about that one. I know others might want it, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to check it out a little bit, but I’m not super huge on collect-a-thon platformers.

Which is kinda stupid imo. If you want more people to try and buy your game, you should at least put it on sale once a year.

Or we can be upset that some devs never put their games on sale when tons of others do. I don’t care if it’s considered “the best game ever made” by gamers who are already fans of factory-type games, that argument doesn’t hold any water for someone who’s a fan of other genres like RPGs or shooters.

Also, their “reasoning” that it’s unfair to people who paid full price is bullshit and you know it. Tainted Grail had its full release last month, along with a price increase, but the game had gone on sale multiple times between the EA and full releases. Abiotic Factor is doing the exact same thing, and also had sales in between the EA release and full game. There’s no real reason that it shouldn’t go on sale at least once a year or something. If you miss a sale, that’s on you.

I just got:

JoJo’s All-Star Battle R, Strobophagia, Arkham Origins: Blackgate

I’m not really into fighting games, but I got pretty into the JoJo anime and played the demo for All-Star Battle R before and I really liked it, so I got the deluxe edition or whatever for $20.

Strobophagia popped up on my homepage one time and caught my eye cause I like EDM, and mixing it into a game about a rave with a horror twist seemed pretty cool.

I’ve heard rough things about Blackgate as it’s a 3.5D side scrolling brawler, but I’m hoping it’ll play similar to those Assassin’s Creed Chronicles games, cause I really liked those when they came out. Also I just want to experience more of the Arkham story/universe. At some point I’d like to play Arkham Shadow as I watched a bit of gameplay and heard a lot of positive things about it.

Wow. That was unnecessary

Gamers will use anything to justify the price for their favorite games.

I’m not saying it’s a bad game or anything, I’ve never actually played it as it doesn’t really look like my type of game, but the “reasoning” that they’ll never put it on sale because it’s “unfair” to people who paid full price is stupid.

I can’t understand what fucking market research “geniuses” came up with the idea that making streaming less accessible/more annoying was a good idea and would net more profits.

But then again, the mass general population is fucking dumb

Idk about any of these other ones (or even the full game) but Cubic Odyssey is like a mix of Minecraft, Starbound and No Man’s Sky

You can play V Rising completely solo.

You can’t play Rust solo or on a private server unless you buy/rent one

It worked for literally everyone but them

what do you mean? I have Exiles but I haven’t played in a couple years, since before Siptah came out (but I did buy that expansion).

Are there no single player capabilities?

I bounce around and go through “phases” of games I like to play quite regularly. Sometimes I like boomer shooters, sometimes I like platformers, sometimes I like RPGs, sometimes I like a weird mix of all of them.

That’s kinda my point with my previous comment. If the devs say they’re done working on a game, most g*mers will take that to mean “stop playing our game and find something else” which makes literally zero sense.

You presumably spent money on this, let alone however many hours playing and having fun, and now just because the people who made it say they aren’t adding anything new in the foreseeable future you totally drop the game. But I also kinda meant in another sense for stuff that’s actively in development.

Take Elder Scrolls 6 for example (or even Cyberpunk 2077): the announcement trailer came out 7 years ago, and yet there have been other projects in the pipeline as well, such as Starfield and other updates for other games. You will get a constant stream of posts from impatient G*mers complaining, bitching and whining, coping and seething about “the fact that there’s been no news of Elder Scrolls 6 for years.”

My response always has been and always will be “then go make your own game and see how easy it is to make it do all the things you want”

Because G*mers need a constant stream of news telling them that their current chosen favorite game is actively being worked on lest they forget and “move on” to something else.

I swear, the sheer amount of bullshit (complaining about character models, character pronouns, character creators, literally anything else) I see from gaming communities and subreddits is actually ridiculous. G*mers are literally the most entitled people on the goddamn planet.

There needs to just be a Mortal Engines game at this point. Like honestly it would translate pretty well to some form RTS type game, what with the whole geopolitical nonsense that’s present throughout the books.

You could levitate and so many of the caves and dungeons in that game had straight up secret areas you could only get to by levitating.

There’s a side quest that you can only get if you levitate up to a ledge at the very bottom of a Daedric ruin.

My evil run in Infamous, I would just find a group of people next to a puddle and just walk right onto it. Then I’d just watch as people would panic and run right into the water. Fun times.

I recently learned that the guy who did the music for the sequels also did the music for my other childhood favorite game franchise: Psychonauts.

Peter McConnell is absolutely fantastic.
