Zahille7, do gaming w Don't hate the player

I just looked it up, and I’m surprised to say that Spider-Man 2 (just released on PC back in February I believe) is still only $60. I mean, sure it’s over a year old from it’s original PS5 release, but the fact they’re not asking $80 for it is kinda nice.

And Oblivion Remastered is “only” $50.

$50 today is equivalent to about $28.50 19 years ago. So it’s effectively half price lmao

Zahille7,

I meant it’s “‘only’ $50” because it’s an entire overhaul of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up. Similar to how Skyblivion is gonna be.

Like, that’s a damn good price for one of the best RPGs ever made, with the amount of work that went into it this time around too. I’m not complaining about paying that for such a great game.

Clair Obscur (a gorgeous, new game) is 50 bucks. I rest my case.

Zahille7,

I mean sure, plenty of new games can still look great and be relatively affordable. Nowhere in my comments did I say otherwise, or even imply it.

I really feel like people are jumping on these comments because I dared to say a couple recent games aren’t selling at $80.

Oblivion? One of the best RPGs ever made? This is a joke, right? It’s not even the best Bethesda game.

I had to let the point slide, never argue matters of taste with people who eat shit

ViatorOmnium,

Except wages didn't increase that much, and price changes drive inflation, not the other way around.

Feels like we’re dancing around the topic of purchasing power collapse so it might as well be said - this is a bread and circuses issue at heart.

Psythik,

The PS5 version was actually ported to PC a full year before the official PC release by a bunch of Brazilians. In many ways with was even better than the official release. Only downside is that it didn’t have ray tracing. But if you don’t care about that then it was worth playing.

Of course this has nothing to do with your point, just saying.

Venator,

That’s a bit more of a rare occurrence: I wouldn’t count on it happening for OW2 as well.

It was even free at some point

Psythik,

To be fair, I wouldn’t pay $1 for no game. If I’m paying money—no matter the amount—I expect to actually get a game.

Do you find it difficult to enjoy everything alone or just games? I don’t really get the sharing thing.

I don’t let other people influence my tastes.

I make my own opinions

@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t mean that other people have changed your opinion, but quite the opposite: a game that you think is good and you didn’t know that other people hated it.

duchess,

You might be the first human to actually do that.

Darkenfolk,

It’s more likely that you are just not aware of the influence others have on you. Which is fine, a lot of that stuff is subconscious.

Krudler,

So you are both a liar and semi-literate.

Anything ubisoft makes. Or generally most things big companies make to cater biggest possible amount of people.

bob_lemon,

I disagree. Some of them are actually bad.

reksas,

yes, but medium is the absolute best they can manage

Dual nominations for Paper Mario: Sticker Star & Paper Mario: Color Splash. The only thing I really remember about them is that I played them and they left me without any feelings about them whatsoever.

Most games that dont scale into 100+ hours. I never reach that point anyway.

Anything from Ubisoft

Was gonna say it. This perfectly describes the last few Assassins Creed titles. Not bad enough to put them away, but also not good enough to leave any kind of lasting impact.

Tigeroovy,

Yeah, Assassins Creed was cool at first but they just bled that shit to death with too many releases. It’s hard to keep things fresh when you put out like 10 sequels.

Blackmist,

It’s like chewing gum. You just keep going as it gets blander with no end in sight.

I remember feeling this way about Die Hard: Vendetta for GC. Strong meh/10.

Die Hard: V for Vendetta would be a hell of a crossover.

Jeszcze używam wyszukiwarki do jednej rzeczy. Nie powiem jakiej, ale od jakiegoś czasu tylko Marginalia jest pod tym względem użyteczna. Google każe mi rozwiązywać reCaptcha, a nie chcę im szkolić AI klikając w obrazki.

Square Enix games
(FInal Fantasy, Neir Automata, Sleeping Dogs. Tomb Raiders)

They are all... good - certainly not bad games
But nothing makes them... great

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

I’ve been frustrated with these Japanese games lately like FF and Yakuza because of the graphics. Japan likes to use an anime style on their character models, which I personally don’t think looks good but whatever. The issue I have is that you walk around in a yakuza or FF or resident evil game and half the characters and NPCs look very realistic and like real people, and the main characters and some NPCs look like anime characters, different bone structure and art style. It’s distracting. I frankly think you stick to anime style or realistic modern style, you can’t just swap between the styles at will within the one game.

Does final fantasy still have invisible enemies that just attack you and put you into battle mode? Cause I found that outdated and stopped playing the games, im done with turn based but especially done with games where you can’t even see the enemy till they just battle you

Nier Automata

How dare you feel this way, you scruffy-looking Nerf-herder!

I am unhappy with your comment! But I respect it, so I hope you have a great day ahead.

SlamWich,

For real - one of the best games, maybe all time. But Square Enix does churn out some meh games.

I had to stop when the villians were monologuing right in the middle of a fight scene, in the most cliched way possible. And this was after some mid gameplay, with a clearly telegraphed rugpull plot point that seemed like it was going to be the centerpiece of the whole story.

CatZoomies,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

I think I know what fight you’re talking about, and I understand why some persons would back out of the game at that point.

In general, if one finishes the first playthrough, they’ll get the first ending. This left me with questions so I played it again, and this time you get the game from Android 9S’ perspective. Each playthrough is shorter, and the goal is to get endings A, B, and C. Which makes for a remarkable, unforgettable game. Definitely have to get through the cliches and some of the common JRPG tropes, but the whole experience greatly outweighed those problems such that I could look past them.
