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,

It’s not even an original concept. It’s just the popular kid.

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.

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world) angielski

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

Etterra,

Could do without online play.

Etterra,

Microsoft and Mojang make a lot of stupid decisions. Or rather, asshole decisions. I’m tired of it all.

Etterra,

Cry more rich boy, your tears are delicious.

Etterra,

The giant space maw is hungry.

Etterra,

If it’s good I’ll give it a go once it’s on sale.

Etterra,

Don’t forget the people with more money than sense. Whales are what keep the microtransaction mechanic alive and well.

Etterra,

Grim Dawn is probably your best match. PoE is also online only so screw em.

Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful...

Etterra,

That shithead skeleton from Undertale. If I an ever forced to play that game, it’s all genocide all day, idc that it’s the hardest mode. That game looks like ass and its fans are insufferable, but that fucking little skeleton deserves to be ground up and snorted.

Etterra,

Boo, epic sucks.

Etterra,

Only if he goes first.

Etterra,

How about your mom is too low, ya greedy CEO bastard.

Etterra,

I’ve hated Unity since its buggy trash first showed up in flash games Sure they ironed out the bugs and it went mainstream, but I never forgot how it shouldered it’s way into the picture. Now it’s pulling this shit and I’ve got that inevitable mixture of smug and disgusted that accompanies the all-to-familiar experience of “I said this was a bad idea but did anybody listen to me? Nope.”

Etterra,

I don’t know, I already attended the funeral. It might be in bad taste.

Etterra,

I thought it was a feature.

Etterra,

That’s not much of a brag. Just because the monsters in this game won’t mysteriously fly off into space only to reappear right behind you seconds later, doesn’t mean we should celebrate.
