@DavidMMcintosh Dont worry guys this trust fund kiddie who's never stepped into a grocery store in his 69 years on this Earth has our best interests at heart. ๐คฃ๐คฃโ ๏ธโ ๏ธ
@RobbyJFonts@HollywoodHandle Regardless of SM's absence they are ugly, sloppily edited, terribly scripted garbage and Venom was the only one that even tried to translate the appeal of the subject character to the big screen.
@SandyofCthulhu@GameStalgiaX I buy all my games, but it's impossible to say what your sales would be without piracy beyond pure conjecture. Many pirates could have lived in regions where purchasing the game wasn't feasible or simply couldnt afford the game. You just may have not had those players period.
@ThelVanDamne No they didn't and its not relevant to our conversation. MS's responsibility to provide the market with an appealing game, not the fans. If they were doing their job old fans would be replaced by new ones, but the MS games have been overshadowed by other shooters and old Halo.
@ThelVanDamne I didnt say it was doing fantastic, I said Infinite competed with it for a playerbase. Who's moving goalposts now? The games arent doing terrific because M$ has cant build on Bungie's success or please its fans and we are being sold repackaged old stuff again because nostalgia.
@ThelVanDamne Why not make a new game to celebrate a milestone? Face it. They need the old games cause they have no clue how to make new games without imitating every shooter out there, now we have sprint and loadouts. Halo had success for being different, not conforming.
@_Deez_Games Bump a game above 20h, you simply aren't going to have the kind of care to the moment to moment game. You are going to have redundancy, repetition, just for the sake of extending that playtime. Playtime isnt king, but the quality of that time. Explore your ideas and exit stage.
@tribecalor@EliasToufexis He lifted the story of The Dark Knight, often panel for panel from Steve Englehart's Dark Knight Detective without crediting him. He isn't infallible.
@arvofart@superbunnyhop Not angry, but didnt entirely agree either. Claimed Hitman rewarded killing innocent female npcs, misrepresented Lili's role in Psychonauts. Her points on Peach being only valued as a damsel for Mario can be inverted, Mario only having worth if he lives up to the mantle of hero.
@MightyKeef@MendezMovieRPT General audiences often do not have discerning tastes, are looking at phones, and are clueless about basic cinematography, symbolism, screenwriting 101, could care less about mise en scene, have rudimentary comprehension of tone. They will eat anything short of Morbius.
@thomasmahler This causes a similar phenomenon as having minimaps. You stare at the map/health/dmg instead of appreciating the animations, particle effects, environments. Why GoT innovated the wind compass. Maybe in an rpg with stats I can see why but not Quake.
@MartyTheElder When Biden was in office I had to scrape "I did that" stickers off my dispensers multiple times a week. The prices are higher now than they ever were in Biden's time and no stickers. Because Dems dont vandalize my pumps and because Reps think the guy they voted for is never wrong
@Matthasnocuts There's no context where these players would be worse off for broadening their horizons. By virtue of having played significantly less games than most others, they would indeed be less equipped to evaluate said games due to their frame of reference being 15 games from 1 series.
@TheCartelDel@Richmond_Lee Gatekeepers always knew this would happen. The moment the floodgates opened to the general audience was the moment the industry had to cater to the lowest common denominator. Now all games need to look real, paint everything yellow and keep you busy for 90hrs with benign content.
