Etterra,

Although it does remind me of grinding to level up familiars in Castlevania SotN on OG PlayStation.

Etterra,

They’ll keep doing this because dipshits keep paying for it. Blame the whales.

Etterra,

More like Scam Citizen.

Etterra,

If it’s not cosmetic then it’s absolutely a cash grab.

Etterra,

I never fell for this, and I’m laughing at you if you did.

Etterra,

Honestly if I could do this in real life for an object I’m looking for, and have the object ping and light up and flash and shit, I would love it.

Etterra,

It’s not about the code. It’s about sending a message.

Etterra,

Fable 5?

I'm tired of every game being live service angielski

I’m really frustrated with how almost every new game these days is being forced into this “live service” model. It seems like no matter what type of game you want to play—whether it’s an RPG, shooter, or even something traditionally single-player—you’re stuck with always-online requirements. And for what? It adds...

Etterra,

We all are, but people keep paying them money. It won’t stop until people get their heads out of their asses and stop doing that. Kind of like how microtransactions won’t go away because whales won’t stop shoveling dump trucks of money at mobile games.

Etterra,

“woke” is now just a dog whistle that tells you the person saying it is a bigoted shithead.

Etterra,

That goddamn seaweed.

Etterra,

How hard is it to have a tutorial on/off option at game start?

Etterra,

#1 looks like JJ Jameson - You know, Peter Parker’s boss?

Etterra,

No it’s too wide. That is a J Jonah Jameson mustache if ever I done seen one.

Etterra,

It’s really easy to pander to the Chinese audience when you’re a Chinese developer telling the same one Chinese myth yet again.

I mean seriously, if you add up every game, show, or movie based on all the myths of Robin Hood, King Arthur, and every Grimm fairy tale combined You wouldn’t have as many productions as there are Journey to the West adaptations, it’s ridiculous. Hell even Disney went with something different when they made Mulan.

Etterra,

Wow who would have thought that single player games were a good thing. Oh wait I did. And so did lots of other people.

Etterra,

Exec 1: Should we do research into what gamers want to play?

Exec 2: Nah, just smush together whatever everybody else is doing, slap on a new coat of paint, and then ship that shit. The idiots will eat it up and we’ll be rich.

Gamers: Who asked for this? I didn’t ask for this. I don’t want to play this shit. I’ve got better shit that I can play for free.

Exec 1 & 2:

Etterra,

Final Fantasy 6 had always been the best one. 4 is awesome too. 7 is fine.

RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it angielski

Runescape is jacking up their subscription prices next month, going from like 12 bucks to 14 bucks a month. The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency. Players are PISSED about it especially since the company got bought out by some investment firm earlier this year, and they see it as a shameless cash...

Etterra,

Well I mean it’s RuneScape so lol

Etterra,

Yeah but they’ll never learn because tons off people keep shoveling money at them.

Etterra,

If there a hunting simulator where you go after the 1%? Not Hitman though it comes closest I think. That one.

Etterra,

Good. Live Service needs to die almost as much as GATCHA and p2w.

Etterra,

Oh ffs what is it with people thinking it looks like a cartoon. As for scale, that’s every 4x game.

Etterra,

Well now I wish I was an influencer so that I could get paid for giving China the middle finger.

Etterra,

Yeah, what we really needed in this world was Epic Games doing anything ever.

Etterra,

But why though? Ugh.

Etterra,

That’s awesome. And to think, it’s only slightly less inhospitable in Australia!

Etterra,

Further proof that my choice to never play multiplayer games is completely and objectively right.

Etterra,

I totally agree. I recently bought on sale Final Fantasy 1 for mobile, mostly because I didn’t feel like digging out my PlayStation and putting in one of the original remastered disks. To be honest, the load times were pretty long on a kind of it being PS1. But the prices they’re asking for for all of these remasters are excessive. Also some of them have 3D instead of pixel sprites; FF4:TAY in particular was ruined that way. You know what I’d like to see; all of the newer Final Fantasy is done in pixel art style. Like from 7 onward. That would be fun.

Etterra,

This is like suing an MMO because you want to solo raid dungeons so you can enjoy the content without having to play multiplayer.

Don’t get me wrong, their opinion is fine. But the lawsuit is idiotic. Just do what the rest of us do when we’re screwed over by circumstance and choices: build a bridge and get over it.

The only circumstance I could see a “too hard” lawsuit maybe possibly hypothetically working out is if the customer was disabled. They might have a slim chance if they could use the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) to sledgehammer the game developer with. I personally don’t believe it would work, but I’m not a lawyer so what the hell do I know.

Etterra,

I would play the shit out of this. No cannibalism any %

Etterra,

It’s more likely a cost benefit analysis. Fighting the Unions is lawyer expensive and PR expensive. Gamers are noisy after all, when riled up. Microsoft is evil, but also like Trump, they understand optics.

Etterra,

Well large corporations are at least 50% dead weight by volume, weighted overwhelmingly in management and at the executive level. So naturally it’s the ones doing all the ACTUAL work who get terminated whenever the line isn’t going up hard enough. Capitalism folks, it’s doomed us all and there’s no way we can fix it and those who could never will.

Ken Levine says BioShock nearly went nowhere and was almost canceled: "We can't make those games because they don't sell" (www.gamesradar.com) angielski

What’s interesting to me is of course how cheaply Bioshock got made compared to today’s blockbuster hits. Somewhere, we took the wrong turn in regards to modern game development, truly....

Etterra,

Yeah it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you’re not blowing millions of dollars on the salaries & golden parachutes of completely worthless executives.

Etterra,

I’ve always wanted a handheld digital device that I can beat someone to death with without breaking it. Thanks Nintendo!

Etterra,

This is was inevitable. I have opposed the idea of game pass since inception, and I still do.

Etterra,

That’s Australia. They have weird anti-violence laws, and God-fucking-forbid anyone learn that blood exists. I think their stupid drug portrayal laws are why the first Fallout had to call them “chems” instead. It’s all pretty stupid moral crusade bullshit.

Etterra,

Out of the Dark is alright.

Man accused of attempted murder in hammer attack over online gaming argument (www.nbcnews.com) angielski

Edward Kang, 20, flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Jacksonville, Florida, to confront someone he had an online dispute with, Nassau County, New Jersey, Sheriff Bill Leeper said. Court records show he was charged Monday with second-degree attempted murder and attempted burglary....

Etterra,

I think they already started that villain arc with Loki.

Etterra,

Never forget that responsibility means blame. Unfortunately true. Also unfortunately, shit always rolls downhill.

Etterra,

It’s like Todd is an infant without object permanence.

Etterra,

Yeah, nothing cool ever dooms us all.

Etterra,

I hate it, yet I still want to try it for some reason.

Etterra,

They REALLY missed the boat on this one. Maybe if it was 8 years ago. Nobody’s gonna care now. Minecraft is old and leans too hard on bedrock, nevermind that it was PC early adopters that made it what it is. This is the problem with success; it makes good indie stuff with potential into sold-out corporate trash. Happens all the time and Minecraft is no different. Eventually it’ll get sold off to some holding company in Romania or something and be deleted from the Internet.

Etterra,

It’s especially weird to have all that time dedicated to something nobody cares about. Who goes looking to see if a game or movie was made using Dolby?

Etterra,

If only every live service game and technology suffered the same fate. Also p2w.

Etterra,

That’s a confusing headline. Let’s make it better:

Mars Spiders Swarm Inca City!

Etterra,

The keywords here are “copycat,” “clones,” and “shovelware.”

Just like how there’s a million versions of the same shit phone games that are just trash clones of something from the app stores or even old flash games like we’re on pre-sellout Kongregate and Armor Games.
