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...

Yet…

For now everyone knows it’s the Dune Popcorn Bucket. ;)

A few years later… Eternal Darkness:

The game actively messed with you. About 1/2 through it would pause and throw up a “Thank you for playing the demo! Look for the full game coming soon!” That sort of thing.

It… really doesn’t look that good.

If you had told me this was, I dunno, Tekken 6 from 2007 I would have believed you.

We told everyone no good would come from GamePass and here we are… You will own nothing and be happy.

Quite a lot of the Indiana Jones stories are based on real, or at least “real” artifacts.

Another one that popped up in Dial of Destiny was the Spear of Longinus:

FTA:

“Either extraterrestrial civilizations (ETCs) are incredibly rare (or non-existent), or they are deliberately avoiding contact with us (aka. the “Zoo Hypothesis“).”

There is a 3rd possibility - it may not be deliberate.

Our position in the Milky Way is really out on the ass-end of it. We are nowhere near galactic central. If our current understanding of slower than light travel is correct, it just may not be possible for other civilizations to reach us.

When it comes to communications, and our radio sweeps of the galaxy turning up nothing, well, we’re assuming any advanced civilization is still using radio transmissions.

Look at our recent experiment with laser based communication:

www.cnn.com/2023/12/18/world/…/index.html

100 or so years after radio communication was widespread, we have the technology to eliminate it. There may be other methods orders of magnitude beyond that. We could be awash in alien communication streams we just can’t percieve because ours are too primitive.

Disco Elysium - Switch or Xbox/PS5

As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.

I’m going to be the negative nancy on this one, because I had the same deal, super cheap price and I wanted something to play on my Steam Deck.

It LOOKS great. It PLAYS like shit. You navigate the world as a character who maybe got hit in the head too hard a few too many times. None of the dialog choices are good, they are all just varying degrees of “Stupid” to “Who hurt you?”

Some people get off on it, I couldn’t stand playing a character that fucking stupid. I asked around going “So… did I just roll the stats wrong? It’s not too late for me to re-start…”

No, it turns out, regardless of your stats, it really is just that badly written.

Is this the same game that was accused of faking the gameplay video or was that something else?

When Destiny started, Bungie was tied to Activision and whenever there were design decisions people hated, they blamed Activision for them.

Then Destiny 2 launched, Bungie was able to buy out the Activision contract, and everything went to shit.

Turned out, Activision had been the voice of reason the whole time.

Bungie started eliminating story missions, vaulting content people had paid for, including a full 1/2 of the base game and multiple expansions. They sunset gears and weapons people spent hundreds of hours earning and curating because they claimed they didn’t know how to develop scenarios for them any more.

A full Sony takeover would be a huge improvement over what Bungie has done since separating from Activision.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You and me both. I dropped the game cold when they vaulted the content. It was clear Bungie did not respect my time or my money.

Since then I saved $230… and it will be more since I won’t be buying Bungie content going forward.

Beyond Light - $50
Witch Queen - $80
Lightfall - $100

Gamestop gift card, or a gift card for another large gaming retailer like Target/Walmart/Best Buy.

Visa gift cards can be used at any retailer, but yeah, I’m not sure how that works for online stores like Xbox/PSN/Steam.

I should say too… SOME games are platform specific. So if they’re asking for the new Zelda game, that’s ONLY on the Switch. Makes it easier.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

FIFA and Madden have both been made for EVERYTHING, so, yeah, no easy way to run that down.

Go for a $140 gift card because new games are often hitting $70 each.

Remote play is an absolute godsend.

I figured it out on my Galaxy Tab A a few years ago, which required you to tether your controller. Then this past January, when I ruptured my Achilles Tendon, being able to run Xbox Series X, Playstation 5 AND Steam games from my Steam Deck in bed was HUGE!

That being said, I don’t see the need to buy another device to do what I’ve already been doing…

Harry Potter was great as is… No need to change it.
