And the Vision Pro ain’t gonna save Mac gaming either.

Even if Apple magically did everything right for gaming on Mac, I wouldn’t be inclined to use the client Steam built for Mac.

I did try gaming in a Mac, and it seems like Apple was trying everything to make it as unpleasant as possible (e.g., the opengl fiasco).

I’ve been using Mac for decades and have yet to have a particularly pleasant gaming experience with it, although I don’t generally go looking for it anymore. Last I tried, I bought FF XIV “FOR MAC” and it couldn’t run on my MBP, which was the latest model at the time. It would run if I had an older OS running though. And to top it off, I wasn’t even allowed a refund for the mistake, because it was a problem with WINE and not square’s fault. I decided Mac games weren’t worth the frustration at that point.

The plush stands firmly at 10 ¼ inch length and 4 ¾ inches wide, which is quite a bit below average for your standard Wiglett. It’s held up by a large, sack-like base. Its long, pale shaft will no doubt delight company when you display it for all to see. The store page notes that its body is bendable, so it should stay rigid and erect as you pose it into different configurations. Meanwhile, its soft body invites you to take it into bed with you so you can spend all night together.

    I won’t argue with Arcane being where it is, because that animation was amazing, especially that Jinx vs Ekko fight scene, but TLOU definitely need to be placed higher. I’d reorder most of the list - right choices, slightly off ranking.

    I distanced myself from Riot and anything concerning it, but I watched Arcane because of the animation. Then the writing ended up being damn good too.

    Having difficulty on a second watch though. Don't know why.

    Skies5394,

    The argument they made is complete shit too, saying that it’s basically just a a shot for shot remake of the cutscenes.

    Did the author play the same games or watch the same show I did?

    It’s pretty loyal to the source material but a replica it isn’t.

    gaytswiftfan,

    arcane is more certainly better than tlou and I really enjoyed both

    cnnrduncan,

    Actually both are bad, the 2012 animated Mass Effect show is obviously number 1

    Hey now, don’t count out that Dragon Age anime about Cassandra!

    brsrklf, (edited )

    Long ago I watched the anime based on Tales of Eternia (the Namco “Tales of” game that was also called Tales of Destiny 2 in the US for no good reason, it’s not a sequel).

    The anime is awkwardly shoehorned in a very specific and inconsequential part of the game (like, one that would last about 2 minutes). Nothing meaningful really happens in the series. Because of the way it’s framed, I also estimate its entertainment value for someone who didn’t play the game at basically zero.

    Oh yeah, there’s a freaking swimming contest out of nowhere at one point. Women only of course. I’m sure it had nothing to do with having female characters in swimsuits for a while.

    That certainly was one of the anime series of all time.

    I hate to be a conspiracy theorist about stupid shit like this, but I can’t not believe that Sonic Boom being directly above TLOU is a ploy to generate engagement from people that will inevitably disagree. There’s no engagement like disagreement, right? (I have fallen for the trap)

    hitmyspot,

    No, because you are posting on a non profit forum, so the outrage clicks don’t help them.

    They obviously didn’t make that headline to be reposted on Lemmy. It’s for Reddit, Twitter, Google etc.

    Probably a case of TLOU having less impact for those who already played the game compared to Sonic Boom which is those characters in situations that are new compared to the games.

    TL;DR of the article - Arcane > Cyberpunk Edgerunners > Castlevania > Sonic Boom > The Last of Us > The Witcher.

    TLOU is criminally low on this list. Easily top 3, and personally, I’d put it at 1.

    kratoz29,
    @kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

    Yep, they knew, that’s why they started with a disclaimer

    Please don’t get angry for seeing The Last Of Us merely at number five in a ranking about the best things of a specific kind ever made.

    It’s definitely good, competent, and very ugly or beautiful whenever it wants to be. Just like the game, it picked the perfect couple of actors to give life to the characters that could carry the massive weight of both the game’s drama and the hopes that more video games could get prestige TV treatment in the future.

    But is it really that big of an achievement? It feels like a very safe adaptation of a game that already played like a movie in the first place. HBO’s The Last Of Us is good, but you know what else is good? Watching a video compilation of the cutscenes from the first game on YouTube. I wish we could see a future season starring a new group of main characters on a completely different adventure. Perhaps you can get Henry Cavill to star in it. I heard he likes games.

    outadoc,

    Not a bad reasoning, I feel the same - it was good but safe. Whereas Arcane and Edgerunners came with original stories, and they’re really good on their own.

    prole,

    And Sonic Boom deserves to be higher than it because…?

    outadoc,

    I don’t know, I haven’t watched it.

    Thugosaurus_Rex,

    Was it really as “safe” as the article claims though? They diverted a full episode early in the show to have an hour long homosexual romance episode that completely changed the character paths and storyline for a major section of the game. I’m not really sure what “safe” even means in the context of the article’s argument.

    prole,

    Sure… Maybe not number 1 (I think Arcane may have been better), but below Sonic Boom? Yeah, no.

    Psionicsickness,

    I’d give it 2. Arcane is number 1 hands down.

    Arcane in top spot

    Arcane was really good, though? Even if you don’t think it deserves the top spot, you still have to give it that.

    cnnrduncan,

    I watched the first few episodes and it didn’t really catch my attention, honestly it mostly just felt like a slightly above-average generic fantasy anime.

    stopthatgirl7,
    !deleted7120 avatar

    It takes the first few episodes to really set everything up on the board so it can then start moving the pieces, to be fair.

    The last few episodes are just massive gut punches it took all that set up to give impact to.

    But to each their own. Not everything is for everyone.

    ag_roberston_author,
    !deleted4201 avatar

    Yeah, it was great.

    Not as good as TLOU though.

    I think I've watched arcane and edgerunners like 3 times each, they're so fucking good

    might watch edge runners tomorrow
