There is also cassette bests. It just makes it obvious that they fon’t care about their ip or it’s not out of principle, it’s just because someone else made a game that don’t suck and people like, which is something they can not do.
I don’t even find the price too bad, i haven’t owned a console in over a decade, so i don’t really know. But paying to use their online service, and the lack of games is really off putting to me. And that aside, as far as i understand it, it was such a pain in the ass to get a ps5, that i don’t really understand why so many people bothered in the first place.
As someone who grew up playing games like World of Warcraft and other AAA titles, I’ve seen how the gaming industry has evolved over the years—and not always for the better. One of the most disturbing trends is the rise of gacha games, which are, at their core, thinly veiled gambling systems targeting younger players. And I...
I don’t really know a lot about gatcha games, the only one i played was some DBZ game, because i wanted to get back into DBZ, and shiny things. I never payed money for it, because honestly i didn’t really see the point, aside from it being an obvious waste of money, and at the end of the day, i never felt like i missed out of anything, because of maybe luck or just grinding or not caring enough.
anyway, i’m pretty sure they said what the odds are of pulling a specific card, and that it’s like in the 1% or 0.5% or whatever. But i don’t think that helps at all, because people who gamble like to game, no matter the odds.
I watched a documentary on Darksyde Phil. He managed to spend 44000 on a Wrestling gambling game per month.
I think the bright side is that you learned something even tho it was a 500 dollar lesson.
I used to work with a guy who was super cheap. Like i sometimes payed for his coffee or whatever, because i always did that with friends and co workers, and sometimes they would pay too. He never did that. One day we talked about video games and spending habits. He said he doesn’t play video games, but he played clash of clans. I didn’t really know what clash of clans is, aside from seeing some screenshots and seeing memes. He said that he spend 500-800 dollars a month on the game. It kinda blew me away, because i knew that whales often spend a bunch of cash on games, i just was a bit shocked about the amount and that it was HIM. He looked at me and said, oh that’s nothing, you should see what my girlfriend spends on candy crush.
This was pretty much my experience. I played some browser game with friends, way before gatcha and mobile games. Gor today’s standards, the game was actually pretty good, but i started like a week or two later than my friends so i payed for a booster pack or something that was like 10 dollars and i immediately regretted it so hard. I almost felt sick and like an idiot.
I don’t think i ever made it to tier 4 either. My factory always collapses from the weight of my own incompetence. The funniest thing to me is to play as far as i get, stop and come back a month or two later and try to figure out what i did.
I’m not the type of guy for these games at all, but satisfactory is super fun to me. Even if i suck and my factories look like an absolute nightmare. The fun thing about satisfactory is that you can brute force so much bullshit until it all goes more and more to shit.
The only thing i really dislike is that there is often no middle ground. Easy is super easy, normal is still easy, and hard is annoying. I like games that tell you what difficulty the game is made for. Doom for example, the game is geared towards “nightmare” (i think) and the game really is best played on that harder difficulty.
I felt the same way about the finals. The beta was amazing and i played it every day. It was just good fun. When the game released it was all meta builds and abusing every mechanic known to mankind.
I just can’t get over how bad these Bethesda games play and look. I kinda understand why people like it, but to me they are like bad mods of a good game. Which is ironic, because apparently fallout london is pretty good, because Bethesda had nothing to do with it, except ruin it with their HD update.
I play with a guy online games for over 10 years. I never met him, he lives on the other side of the planet. He knows my real name, my online name changes constantly. He still always calls me by the name i had when he met me. It’s pretty funny.
Fallout: London is a must-play. The marriage of Fallout 4’s more modern gameplay and New Vegas’ exemplary role-playing mechanics is a match made in heaven, one that occasionally surpasses Bethesda’s 2015 game.
The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn’t play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

I’m convinced that FromSoftware has the biggest weirdos as their fanbase. I never played a FromSoftware game before elden ring, and i wish i would’ve just played the game and never looked at forums or wherever they throw up their opinions. Before i bought the dlc i watched a video that was titled something like: the elden ring dlc is really bad or something like that. The video had a ton of views and a lot of people seemed to agree, so i watched it, because i wasn’t sure if i should spend the money or not. The video made me actually mad because of how absolutely stupid it was. The brain-dead dude even got mad because of the word “scadutree” “Yeah what is that, i’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be called shadowtree, they can’t even get that right.” These guys have some sort of disability where they can’t enjoy the game if they use anything but a stick as a weapon.
Imagine someone complaining about DOOM because it’s too hard, and you go:"i don’t know, once you get the plasma cannon… "I DON’T USE THE PLASMA CANNON, I ONLY USE THE STARTER PISTOL, WHY DO THE DEVS MAKE THE GAME SO HARD? SHOTGUNS ARE FOR BABIES JUST PISTOL.
