Absolutely. That review I posted is exactly what I was anticipating when seeing the footage multiple channels were posting back in January. I’m just a little surprised to see so many singing false praises like that shit he shows of a reviewer giving it a 100 and starting with a line like “it has flaws”. I encountered another video where the review had the gall to say “the parkour is the best it’s ever been. It’s nothing like in Unity but the animations are so good”. This is a reviewer who’s previously panned animation-based parkour in favour of the old mechanics-based style. Everyone’s blowing Ubisoft because the company is supposedly on Death’s doorstep despite them having firmly put themselves there. It’s sickening.
I’ve never understood and always despised that empty Nobody. It literally adds nothing other than making me hit the downvote no matter how good the rest of the meme is.
There’s absolutely concern about Steam if you’re looking at the discourse. Personally, I hate the Steam launcher and have kept having problems with it ever since they changed the design to be more Baby’s First like everyone else has done (not just taking about launchers here) but the Steam launcher is still better than the others, which is infuriating.
Because a monopoly is a company that operates in their market unopposed. In this instance, it’s not Steam’s fault the opposition kinda sucks (or doesn’t quite aim to be a direct competitor in the case of GoG) but the argument is still there that Steam is sitting as the only distributor for PC.
Personally, this is why I keep wanting to root for GoG, Epic and such. Monopolies are dangerous to consumers and the markets they operate in. Right now, Steam is being surprisingly effective at remaining a “good guy” but there’s a lot of concern even among Steam fans of what the landscape will look like in a post-Gaben world. Setting the PC gaming market up to have Steam as the only option when that inevitably comes to pass (touch wood that that’s no time soon, of course) could spell a certain level of disaster in a world where the anti-monopoly law-makers have shown to not really care about upholding that standard.
Edit: missed words. Never type when struggling to keep your eyes open kids!
I think the top one that comes to mind is Days Gone. I can’t help but feel like we’ve played completely different games when seeing reviews for it from the likes of IGN, for example.
I shouldn’t have to repair their crappy self-inflicted stick drift though. This easy to repair argument is like saying “It’s okay, the giant shit on your kitchen floor hasn’t dried so it’s easy to mop up.”
Precisely this. Consideration for the original Switch is exactly how the Series S is causing problems for games on the Series X and PS5. Yes, a cheaper entry is great for gamers who can’t afford but dragging the potential down is a recipe for hamstringing the newer hardware.
