You’re gonna start making a “Video Game is Genius and Here’s Why” videos and discover that the producer’s uncle was best friends with Tommy and loves Oreos and oops 2 hour tangent.

Seeing that Digital Foundry tested with a 9800X3D and 5090 and still had pretty bad stuttering while only peaking at like 90 fps at 1080p with DLSS enabled, I don’t think anybody is running the game all that well.

Video games pull in more revenue than movies and music combined. Nintendo and other major publishers post record profits years after year. Many games are shoved full of MTX and release with multiple “deluxe” editions to extract even more money out of people. There’s no reason for price increases.

While running at 20 fps, don’t forget that detail.

I would strongly disagree that the economy was better than ever for all Americans since we’re still following Reaganomics and income inequality is worse than ever before. It’ll only get worse under Trump, obviously, but still.

This is all a really cool list of things that Democrats won’t do because they’d rather campaign on needing votes and donations to do anything than actually do anything.

Look at what you’ve done, monster.

It doesn’t help that review sites have poisoned people’s perception of ratings. Anything not 8/10 and higher is generally seen as garbage, and that’s how things get scored.

You do realize that there’s very little that’s actually unique to Fortnite, and very little that Nightreign actually resembles in that regard, right? The core gameplay is still Elden Ring, and borrows elements from many other sources as well. You’re being ridiculous.

I said nothing of the sort, are you stupid? Games take mechanics from each other all the time, this is nothing new. The Souls games feature mechanics that were in many games from various sources before them as well. Do you think those games are also garbage for the same reason?

Even the PCs from NASA can barely run the game.

Sounds like a personal problem if you see anything that vaguely resembles something similar in Fortnite and start throwing a tantrum. I don’t like Fortnite either, but that doesn’t mean having a time limit in the form of a shrinking play area is an inherently bad mechanic.

Whatever your problem is, it’s not with me or anything I have to say about this game.

Honestly I think some people are taking Neightreign way too seriously. There’s pretty much nothing that should be divisive about it. Don’t understand why anyone would get so worked over what’s basically a side-project.

It’s a KH2 situation where there’s depth (not as much), but the game never does anything that makes the player explore and utilize it, so they just mash buttons until things work regardless of how frustrating it might be sometimes.

Sekiro and Elden Ring even go as far as having tutorial pop-ups that pause the game to explain the controls and mechanics. They’re not difficult to learn so much as they’re quick to punish mistakes, and expect players to learn through trial and error.

That’s a nice strawman. It’s been repeated countless times from Miyazaki that the intent of these games is to instill a strong sense of accomplishment through overcoming extreme adversity, and that tuning down the difficulty would destroy their core design.

They also already had to patch instances of people finding ways to pause the game anyway, then intentionally softlocking anyone who joined their session. Better to just not bother with an unneeded feature when the trade-offs are easily gamebreaking, and they already have a convenient autosave.

They’ve followed a consistent design philosophy of keeping people on the same playing field. Souls doesn’t have pause due to the seamless multiplayer. Wouldn’t be fair for some to have pause while others don’t. Sekiro is purely singleplayer, so it has pause because everyone always has it.

Just don’t ever feel like I have the time or energy to truly get started on the backlog, but it’s easy to keep playing stuff I’m already familiar with.

We’re all effectively paying $60 - $70 to rent anyway, since not even physical copies are entirely safe from the copyright holder putting out an update that just makes it unplayable. Everything is just a “perpetual license” until they decide not to honor that agreement anymore.

Love when you’re winning, so then all three other players just nickel and dime away at you and suddenly you’re in last, then you get the bonus stars and finish 2nd. Such a lovely feeling.
