NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?

Beloved is a REALLY strong word.

But, Mortal Kombat 11. I had always enjoyed the MK games (it helped that my sister owned the N64 so I only played maybe a grand total of two hours of the wannabe Tekken ones…). And the timeloop reboot had reinvigorated the series and I was a much more accomplished fighting game player and actually understood how to push through projectile spam.

Then they randomly recast Sonya Blade with (sandy hook truther and terf) rhonda rousey and it was just… ugh. Even ignoring she is a hateful and evil shitbag… she is just a REALLY bad actress. Could never bring myself to grab 11 and by the time “1” came out I had also realized that I actively disliked the x-ray attacks and finishers since they were just boringly gorey time sinks.


And honorable mention to Splinter Cell Double Agent. But apparently the OG xbox/wii u (?) version of that was actually good and it was just 360/PC that was a steaming pile of shit. And Conviction was a very different game but also I still think about the aftermath of the EMP every so often.

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

  • FooBarrington,

    I sadly have to disagree regarding Elden Ring. I love the DLC, but there’s pretty much 0 integration with the rest of the game. Nothing you do in the base game will change interactions in the DLC, and vice versa.

    If a couple voice lines changed (e.g. for Melina, Midra regarding the Frenzied Flame, Miquella regarding Malenia) I’d agree completely, but as it is it’s very slapped on.

    Not sure my comment deserves a downvote when I clearly formulated my criticism after specifying that I very much like it, but you do you.

  • DebatableRaccoon,

    Name checks out. Are you also forgetting the DLC is awkwardly levelled too? That it’s not accessible until quite far into the game but if you try go into it with a complete save you’ll be dramatically over-levelled.

    Factorio, osrs, rimworld.

    I tried playing games like Tony hawk pro skater or racing games, but every time I’d turn I’d lose my balance and almost fall off the treadmill. So anything i could play had to be slow placed or not have a 3d camera.

    atticus88th, do games w Steam had already shown its true face, itch.io and GOG are fighting censorship alone.

    What are you on about? Valve removed content that was recently popularized and controversial becauze of its rapey and violent incest.

    You can still find a plethora of NSFW,LGBTQIA+,Fauxcest,rapey,violent content on Steam… if you know where to look.

    Walk_blesseD,

    NSFW,LGBTQIA+,Fauxcest,rapey,violent content

    With a username like yours I'd be really fucking careful about conflating those things. Then again, I don't go putting "88" in mine, so what do I know?

    atticus88th,

    88th has been around longer than nazis, but then again… you see what you want to see because of your ignorance and I forgive you for that.

    Walk_blesseD,

    It's almost as though I said it's suspicious specifically because of the context you put yourself in by making that conflation.

    since people are talkinmg about balatro here, is it possible to buy it somewhere other than steam if i don’t want to support the child gambling company?

    dom,

    Child gambling company?

    GreatRam,

    Valve enables cs2 gambling through loot boxes. Many children are introduced to gambling this way

    Coffeezilla’s investigation on the topic

    dom,

    Ah I wasn’t aware but not surprised. Not sure why you’re getting down voted for sharing information. Ahh ~~reddit ~~ lemmy

    kate, (edited )

    My best guess is people took “child gambling” to mean the game itself 🤷‍♀️ (or maybe they don’t like that i insulted their favourite brand)

    kate,

    Volvo and the cs2 loot boxes incl. their weird workarounds like the X-ray scanner so they can enable child gambling in countries like France that have made it illegal. like they really love child gambling it’s fucking weird

    kate,

    yeah I thought about that but apple and google are each bad in their own ways. maybe i’ll mail a tenner to the dev studio and just pirate it

    Not on gog or itch sadly. The official balatro website only links to Steam. So it’s either Steam or get it on a console :/

    Cethin,

    Is there anyone who sells games that aren’t bad in some way? You don’t become successful in capitalism by being altruistic. Any company successful enough to run a market probably has some skeletons in their closet.

    It's a more polished version of the first, its not that different. If you liked the first you'll enjoy the 2nd

    Unpopular opinion, I played Elden ring for close to 10 hours and hated it. Ugly game, saw nothing but barren wastelands, got extremely annoyed with the style of fighting and the repetitiveness. I think it’s by far one of the worst games I’ve ever played

    @cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

    I’ve definitely wasted many evenings building in this game. I actually had to cut off one of my friends; he was exclusively building in my server and would message me all the time, asking me to boot up Enshrouded and leave it running overnight so he could play.

    There is an Enshrouded Dedicated Server you can set up so the game is always running in the background for people to connect to. But I’ve had problems getting it working, and I’d rather not dedicate resources to hosting a game in the background if I only have a couple friends pop in once in a while.

    So my friends mostly don’t play unless I’m playing too, which has encouraged me to spend oodles of time in Enshrouded over the past year. There’s a reason it’s my #3 most played game despite only being out for a year and a half.
