Pretty sure they mean that they have never been made to not want to play a game just because you had to register an account, not that they’ve never needed to register an account.
If logging in to something causes that much ire, I have to wonder if the people who think that way know how to make a throwaway email and use fake names. Because it’s one of the most ridiculous reasons to not use something.
Now if I could just get advice for the one game I haven’t 100% achievements in: Sekiro.
It’s not the inputs, or the patterns, or my timing… It’s that I can’t see through all the flashes and sparks that fly up when you’re in a fight. I’ve been stuck on Owl forever because the second half of the fight is so crazy, I end up losing sight of the man and can’t react to him. 🤣
There’s no delay in rolling in any of the games, it’s starting to sprint that’s delayed
It’s delayed in the sense that it doesn’t happen on pressing the button but on letting it go, so it takes a split second longer than you might expect. If it went on press it would not appear to be delayed by a millisecond, as any game where the dodge is it’s own dedicated button would show. It’s super easy to hold the button down longer than intended in an intense moment and end up taking a hit because of it.
I’ve hated them from the moment they started. I was looking forward to it before any game had it, thinking it would be like getting well made mods for like fifty cents or a dollar. But then it ends up being a color swap for $15 and shit. Low effort, and expensive for what you’re actually getting.
Let me just go back to being able to drop a file into a folder and now I am Spider-Man, like I could do in Quake.
Give me back reasonably priced expansions that were like an entire sequel for half the price of the base game instead of $30 for a single dungeon.
And while we’re at it: give me back server executables and a browser so I can host my own shit and find good, moderated places to hang out.
I had SimCopter and Streets of SimCity just to get up close looks at my cities.
It’d be sweet if City Skylines had stuff like that… I mean, you can drive cars in it, it just doesn’t change the camera to first person while doing so.
Every time I fire up X4, I play for an hour or two, get frustrated with it and go back to X3 instead. I don’t think I’ve ever even left the first area of the map because the first couple of missions require obtaining things that are only sold by pirates and also it’s RNG whether a place has it or not.
The love should be obvious to other fans. The hate isn’t from the difficulty, though. The hate comes from little niggling bullshit like the size or shape of certain hitboxes, the way the input queue works, the delay in rolling because roll and run are the same button, the fact enemies don’t use up stamina or mana, etc. There’s always one thing or another that will make me fume in all these types of games related to one of the above mentioned things. Like in Fromsoft’s offerings specifically I regularly get upset by the camera and lock on not doing what I expect or want. But Lies of P has a really nasty habit of totally eating my inputs where sometimes my dude won’t even swing his god damn weapon. And The Surge has the most funky input queue so if you accidentally press a button twice, you are fucked.
Couldn’t you, like… Connect the pins directly to a power source while pushing them together to make the contacts on the pogo touch or something to bypass any of that?
Not having the right to repair doesn’t mean I can’t actually repair the thing myself. It just means I can no longer get official support from the maker of the thing if I do. Which isn’t an issue if I know how to fix it myself.
What’s wild to me is that those stupid fucking warranty void stickers they use to determine if you attempted to repair your shit? Yeah, those are illegal. They have been illegal since before I was born. And yet I don’t think I have ever opened up an electronic device that did not have one.
Everything except The Witcher, Shin Megami and Yaluza I am a fan of because of the first 2 games.
The Witcher 3 I skipped out on because the first 2 were jank as fuck and I couldn’t actually finish either of them despite thinking the ideas and story were rad. It wasn’t until way later I gave it a shot and it was definitely a better game than the first 2, but the combat got super stale after 20 hours and that’s not even like 1/5th of the story.
I don’t know why I never got into Persona or his other games. Just never tickled me. 🤷🏻♂️
Yakuza I only recently found to be awesome with Lost Judgement.
My friends usually wanted to hang out at my house because I was the only one with a PC and the only way they could ever check out shit like Fallout and Diablo.
I am legally allowed to make backups of my hardcopies. I can very legally buy TOTK and dump a ROM for Yuzu. In fact, that is precisely what I did to get my copy for Yuzu.
The authorized cartridge thing would hopefully be ignored due to several other times Nintendo tried to stop developers like Tengen from bypassing their licensing system and developing their own carts for the NES (you know those weird ones that were usually blue or black? Those were “illegal” in Nintendo’s eyes but they lost every single case they took against them to try and stop them from being made).
