Hello! I’m a POC (black/latino) autistic/ADHD dragon from Brazil. I use he/they/it pronouns, and my interests are usually gaming and drawing. Reddit refugee after getting banned multiple times for “threatening violence” for standing up against fascism.

Meanwhile if CS players have ANYTHING change in the game they throw a fit… “innovation” does not enhance FPS franchises, it breaks them.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Well yeah but the same thing applies regardless. Every time CoD tried to “innovate”, outside of Black Ops 2, resulted in players complaining endlessly and/or poor sales. And I say this as someone who HATES milsim obsessed manchildren who demand every FPS franchise cater to them, despite most of them already doing it. Those mfs will straight up say anything futuristic “looks like a mobile game” as if we can’t look past their buzzwords. I blame their bullshit for the failure of Titanfall 2 and CoD Infinite Warfare, which did have an EXCELLENT campaign. But, regardless of that: FPS players don’t want their favorite game to change too much in terms of raw gameplay. This has been a thing you can observe for decades. Hell, people still play Dust 2 the almost exact same way as in 2001.

Anything that pisses off milsim obsessed manchildren is a win in my eyes. You have hundreds of games at your disposal, go play them.

Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That’s it. They’ll literally attack any futuristic game as “it’s a mobile game” and “not realistic”, as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol’ US of A. So when people constantly talk about how “ah this thing has robots I don’t want to play it” it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.

Not to mention, this whole obsession with “realism” to me is absolutely stupid. I don’t need to see literally every pore on an old man’s face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they’re not realistic.

I’m not THAT familiar with the story of RDR2, but I think Rockstar tries to do their best to show that Arthur is a very flawed man who can switch between doing good things to doing bad things in a whim (but also depending on the player’s actions). It makes him feel more human.

I don’t measure who is a “true christian/catholic” by what the Church does, I go by who follows the actual teachings of Jesus better.

@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Well I like both in different ways. Eternal is harder and more reliable in weapon swaps, but it’s also VERY fast paced (and as a CoD oldhead who doesn’t mind current movement in CoD, while I do wish it was a little slower or took more skill, it is very fun), and I personally LOVE when a singleplayer shooter has crazy movement. Doom 2016 however is a little slower but it’s still very good and I throughly enjoyed playing it!

Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Hear me out. A few games have shader installations that will usually apply any new settings you put down AFTER you restart the game, and a lot of other games have graphics settings that will only apply after you’ve rebooted the game....

I personally love that Rockstar has been allowing this by letting people set up their own radio that plays in-game. I myself have 763 songs on my GTA V/Online Self Radio :V

@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much most of the CoD series… But then again I’m mostly a multiplayer guy, and I only really buy CoD games if I like the beta enough. BO7 is something I kinda do like (MP only with the occasional Zombies) but I have to agree with the fact the campaign is absolute cheeks. It’s like Treyarch wanted to make a horror game campaign but they’re stuck making Call of Duty so they just shoehorned it in. Which sucks, cause I KNOW they’re capable of much more, the BO6 campaign was actually quite great.

Altho CoD and GTA are my main games I still play other things and I have like, 251 games on my Steam account, and countless others outside of it… Like, you do not need to restrict yourself to only yearly release triple A stuff… Those games get boring eventually.

Yeah, the AI (manufactured) hype has caused RAM prices to skyrocket thanks to them buying out ALL the fucking RAM for those servers.

At least for me, a Steam Machine would be the ideal use case for my brother, since the literal ONLY game he plays is CS2. He used to play Fortnite, but he hasn’t done that in years… and even then if he wanted we could just swap places between my current real computer and the Steam Machine. It’s also really small so it wouldn’t occupy much space on the other room of the house.

Can't believe something as basic as having my bullets work in my 70 dollar game is something I can't even take for granted

note: I’m not arguing either are good/bad or better/worse than each other, I’m just saying that if I buy a 70 dollar multiplayer FPS I expect my bullets to actually work. its been 43 fucking days, DICE, fix your shit.

The second version of the old known "Trollbait" comic. In the first panel, a dude comes along yelling "Hey, Battlefield 6 players!", with the second panel being of several people looking at him confused. The third panel has the man make a trollface-like expression, while saying "The bullets in Black Ops 7 actually kill people", referencing the fact Battlefield 6 has extremely poor hit detection compared to its Call of Duty rival. The fourth panel has the entire crowd make grotesque and angry, exaggerated faces in a fit of rage while chasing the ragebaiter, who just runs away with a shit-eating grin on his face.

Yeah like… A lot of people out there like Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, a lot of bands/music artists that are kinda generic, and also a bunch of TV shows and games that CAN be considered “generic”… like, sometimes you just want bread and butter, you know?

@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

You got lucky… A lot of people haven’t, it’s pretty much completely RNG depending on your ISP. And my internet is not slow at all (500 Mbps down/250 Mbps up fiber with a decent ONU) so I’m just confused.

It got a LOT better after the last update, but the fact it took this long is absurd.

SalamenceFury, (edited )
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it seems to be a desync between client/server that can happen depending of your ISP. I once turned on the event graph and recorded an entire match on OBS while trying to get in as many gunfights as possible. I had 153 client hits (AKA hit markers that went off on MY end) but only 98 server hits!! The server ate almost TWO entire magazines of hitmarkers…

Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting (gamingbolt.com)

In light of the recent criticism that Rockstar Games has been facing for its firing of over 30 employees, one employee from the studio has taken to the GTA Forums to talk about the company’s actions. Under request of anonymity, and having been verified as a real Rockstar Games employee by an admin, the person – using the...

You’d think the studio that gives you missions in RDR2 to shoot dead the actual fucking Pinkertons would not resort to this kind of bullshit. Even fucking MICROSOFT has accepted multiple unions forming on its studios, including in one of the COD studios. Like, what the fuck? How do you even manage to be more cartoonishly evil than Microsoft???

They were a group of mercenaries formed in 1850 that got hired by Lincoln as sort of a primitive Secret Service, but after the war they were usually hired to fight against organized labor. Usually by beating up/harassing or straight up shooting the workers. They’re still a thing today, apparently…

That’s literally what happened, the remaining devs are revolting.

It’s actually close to around the time Activision releases Call of Duty games, and that year’s CoD will be MW4. I HOPE all the Infinity Ward higher ups are having heart attacks right now, after what they did to the CoD matchmaking they deserve every game of theirs to flop. IW peaked with the original MW series, and maybe the writing team for Infinite Warfare, everything they did after that was abysmal dogshit.

SalamenceFury, (edited )
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Why? They did what every player has been wanting since MW2019 with the matchmaking, disbanding lobbies, and aim assist. That alone made the beta WAY more fun than ANY CoD game I’ve played since Cold War.

I don’t think a Switch 2 emulator will come out any time soon, but I do respect the hustle. I myself am probably only gonna get anything Switch/Switch 2 related from resellers and/or used.

“placebo”

Bro’s really self-reporting. The change for me was instant, I was actually getting a VTOL Warship almost every game, and NONE of my matches were “You are the carry, here’s 5 kids who never touched a controller while the enemy team has average players that curbstomp your short bus teammates”. Nor was I getting multiple bad matches in a row after a string of good matches. If you thought literally nothing changed then I’m sorry but you’re just actual fucking trash and were being protected by the matchmaking.

Sorry for your skill issue diagnosis.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

If I was getting paid by Activision I wouldn’t be doing this on Lemmy of all places lmao, and I wouldn’t like to take money from them anyway cause they’d probably force me to not talk shit about the game. But I genuinely think just the matchmaking change completely transformed the game. Before the open playlist came out, I was not hyped for it at all, but after that it actually made me look forward to the game. But if you think it’s literally the same matchmaking… Then I don’t know how to tell you you’re just not that guy.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Well, for one, the playlist is becoming the default matchmaking for all modes, so I suppose you’d not have fun regardless with your massive skill issue. Also, I don’t buy CoD every year, sometimes I skip them, and I didn’t even buy BO6 because I had PC Game Pass with Microsoft Rewards… until Microsoft ruined both, that is. And third, do you also make fun of Counter-Strike players for essentially playing the same game, on the exact same maps, for 26 fucking years? I do know CS2 is free but the fact of the matter is that it’s the same exact game at its core since 1.6.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not doing research for you, boy. If you took any time to actually look up you’d know that most of the bad shit that happens is exaggerated or was removed later. And also, if you think you’re having any effect here, consider the following: I’m 31 and I don’t care.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

It varies by location. But for me on brazil at least every single subscription doubled in price. PC Game Pass was 36 BRL, it is now 70. Ultimate was 60 BRL, now it’s 120. I cannot justify this shit.

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] (news.xbox.com)

They’re trying to soften the blow by adding new features to each tier, but it’s still just to disguise a price hike. More games are coming to the $15 tier, but it still won’t be day and date releases. First party games come to the $15 tier “within a year”, but that’s even excluding Call of Duty.
