Next it’ll be micro transactions for reloading.

slaneesh_is_right,

And people will pay for it.

monkeyslikebananas2,

I’m surprised that you don’t need to buy bullets.

Activision has always been awful but they’ve really done their damndest to ensure I never want to play a COD game again

  • Requires a phone number to play online
  • Their UI is the absolute worst thing I’ve laid eyes on. It spends more time advertising other products instead of showing, yknow, how to launch the game I paid money for. I quite literally had to google how to launch the CoD remake because their UI was so confusing
  • install sizes are absurd. I still remember the COD remake took 500GB to install
  • and now micro transactions in loadout screens

And this doesn’t even include all the fuckery with their C-Suite.

I don’t know why they make it so awful to try to play the game you paid full price for.

slaneesh_is_right,

I saw an activision sale on steam and was like: wow let’s see what they got in store. Just to realise that i don’t care at all.

This is going to become the new AAA normal, isn’t it.

misterdoctor,

If people keep playing these games, yes

WhatsTheHoldup,

That’s why I only play AAAA games

slaneesh_is_right,

Eh, i’m waiting for AAAAA games.

honest question. What’s stopping mainstream gamers from just playing the best codblops for the rest of their lives? Is there really any draw to these newer releases every time?

slaneesh_is_right,

The cod cycle is pretty much the same as fifa games. They make a new game, the hype is big, everyone plays it because the cool streamers play it. Then the hype dies down, people realise it’s the same game, they don’t want to work on the game and they get by with selling micro transactions until the game dies completely just in time for the new game to come out and the cycle repeats. It’s quite fascinating to be honest that it works every time.

winą rządu Tuska jest przegrana Trzaskowskiego, ale wygrana Nawrockiego - prawackiej patologii politycznej - to dzieło o wiele bardziej skomplikowanej układanki.

I could be wrong but I think I figured it out:

  • Your mom and dad are siblings.
  • They have minimum 3 kids: 2 boys and a girl.
  • Your dad married his daughter and had another daughter with her.
  • That woman married your brother.
  • That woman also married you.

Nah I think they do pansexual roguelikes best. More hot roguelike characters please. Especially if they’re anthros like Asterius. :3

poppichew,

To be honest, I felt like Hades was like GOOFILY sexual. But I get why it works for most people. I just was like...wut!? People are horny for Hades folks, including my sibby. So like, it works. I just don't play games for that kind of stuff is all. I also liked their art more when it was air-brushy over the hard comic lines. Which is kind of crazy, because I like comic book art. It's just like...too much for me. My sibby grabbed Hades 2 and I can't bring myself to play it.

Also they're assholes of accessibility. It's so hard to play Hades because outside of the gauntlets you've gotta mash buttons to get through the whole damn thing. I know I am not the only one who's written to them about this, but they never gave a shit about it. I figured I was pretty much done with them because I have had such positive responses from so many indie developers on accessibility options. Which I think to be absolutely honest, should be a standard for games with larger budgets. Which they for sure had, as far as indie games go. eh.

That was a rant and a half.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Accessibility options are woefully limited in most games. All I personally need is a UI scaling option for larger fonts on the TV vs a monitor, but most of the games I play, the only options in there are for changing the color palette of the UI if you have 1 of 2 or 3 types of colorblindness and that’s it. Even though I am not in need of them, I do like seeing a metric fuckton of options in every single tab as I am a firm believer in more options is always better than fewer already, and this is doubly so for helping people with disabilities get some assistance to experience the game as close to intended as possible.

poppichew,

My partner has a rare type of colorblindness that makes certain comfy games completely unplayable. I wanna scream at the screen, because I wish that it were easier in this life to make things more accessible for all people in general. I sit in the same camp with you, the more the merrier when it comes to support. I get sad when I open a game, and I see nothing (cause the first thing I do is always check the options). I tend to not buy games with certain things like flashy effects, qtes, or a need for fast reflects. As you can tell, I'm not PVE-er =P!

discostjohn,

I also have a rare type of colorblindness, and it sucks when certain parts of a game are seemingly locked behind color perception. Like, if there’s going to be a reflex mechanic that necessitates a distinction between two colors, please let me customize those two colors in the options. And don’t limit it to deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia; just let me choose the fucking colors. Some games do it right, but most just assume everyone can perceive colors the same way

poppichew,

I am not sure if you even keep playing games like that but often it's those ones that end up having to get returned. Which is such a bummer, because it so easily could be solved. Most times when you reach out to the company though (or devs, which ever) unless it's a really small team they will typically ignore your requests. Any time I have had accessibility requests, without hesitation smaller teams have implemented them almost immediately. Likewise they've asked if there is anything else that I might need. I know we're getting better at accommodating people, but there are still people who believe you can just "get gud" and work through these problems. When in actuality, they game-ending experiences. Which really sucks. Thanks for sharing by the by =)

Why would anyone have that strong a view about what you said…? I’m not clamouring for sequels particularly for those games, though I’d love more games like them. Then again, whatever gets me more beautiful soundtracks from Darren Korb.

zqps, (edited )

Because that first sentence sounds like a diss on Hades.

idiomaddict, do gaming w A typical relationship in Crusader Kings III

I’ve figured it out. Imagine that Mia farrow and woody Allen were cousins and Soon-Yi were the child of Farrow’s deceased previous husband (I assume there’s no divorce, but I’ve never played this game). Then Soon-Yi marries a sibling of Ronan Farrow, who also dies. Now, if she and Ronan farrow get married, she’s his cousin, half-sister, sister-in-law, niece, and wife.

Then if he’s the king and they like each other, she’s the queen, his vassal, and his friend.

Edit: I guess Mia farrow would also have to be dead for Soon-Yi and Allen to have gotten married.

I wonder what the family tree looks like.

boonhet,

It’s just two parallel lines for a long time if you remove all the people who aren’t direct ancestors

BarbecueCowboy,
