@MADkurious@SpawnYaardReply I agree with some of this. I don't agree with Bond. I woulda spent 90 on it to. It's one of my favorite games this year. LMAO.
All that aside...games getting more expensive makes sense when you see how much they're putting into it.
>I don't participate in No Disc, No Buy. In fact, I haven't bought a game in an extremely long time that wasn't digital. So GTA is no exception
>Video games 'Shouldn't' cost 100 bucks but I've spent 100 bucks on about 5 games this year to get the special editions. And I had already said, months before it was even available to pre-order, I'd have been willing to spend 200 because...yes...it's GTA.
>I have NEVER had a problem with 30 FPS. I grew up with the N64. I've never had a problem with 30 FPS and I never will. Has nothing to do with GTA.
>400 for a collectors edition is steep as hell, but you know what...if people like it and really want it, they'll pay for it. I've never bought a collectors edition of anything before. AC is my favorite game series all time and the only merch outside of games I own is a hat. Merch and statues just aren't my thing when it comes to games.
I dunno. Yes, I'm sure some people are more forgiving of things because it's GTA. But a lot of us are just fine with things because we see how the industry is trending and just understand. Gaming is a hobby and if you are really into your hobby, it's expensive. That's regardless of the hobby.
Everything has become a moral soapbox for so many people. They're worried about who is attached to what and will be like' "I won't listen to this artist or read this book because that person is involved with it." They're worried about how they'll appear to others if they enjoy something.
They'll tell fampus people and devs to stay in their lane and not comment on things, but then talk about how a game doesn't align with what they think.
Shits crazy man. Entertainment is strictly that. Entertainment.
And the anti "consume just to consume" people are the worst. Yeah. We're consumors. It's what we do. There are a lot of games that I adore and have drawn out an insane ampunt of emotion from me. But there is also nothing wrong with a game just being fun to beat...and then moving on. This specifically I blame on Achievements and Trophies because now if you don't 100 precent it according to a list of things...you didnt get everything out of the game.
Like...I'm sorry I don't care to play every game on hard as well as get 150 hit combos and find every little thing in every corner.
Being a gamer is more exhausting online than it ever will be in real life.
Rant over. 🤷♂️😃
Was playing some COD: MW4 tonight and you know what...here are 5 things I miss from the COD series:
1) Being in a gaming community and always having people to play with. I NEVER had the experience in COD specifically of getting new friends from playing COD, and I've been playing since the original MW4. However...I was in a gaming community where we all played a bunch of different games together, and there was always a group of people ready to go for it. I have a couple friends that play now, and we have fun, but there is a big difference when you have a full team of 6, and everyone is giving call outs and working together.
2) A slower more methodical feel. I can still remember when there was no slide, and no dive. It's not to say I don't slide now. I do all the time. But I do miss things being more tactical in approach. Sure you still had people doing some crazy running and gunning, but it was also far more dangerous to do so.
3) I miss their battle royale and things like DMZ NOT EXISTING. I know there are people that love this shit, and I get they had to do it to compete with every other battle royale in existence, but it helped kill the online multiplayer player base.
4) A more simplistic setup. I liked back when...like...golden guns, and diamond studded guns were the top of the top. Now you have special cammos and Cammos for leveling up your gun to Prestige 250. Then...you have to do it in DMZ/Zombies and the Battle Royale mode. And that's just the cammos. There are also Emblems and Calling cards...and I miss when the calling cards had the name of the calling card on them. Again. More simple times. You could get Nukes on 25 kills and your kill streaks counted.
5) Fantastically designed maps...don't get me wrong...I don't think there's been a COD that has had...as a whole...bad maps...maybe Ghosts. And for the most part, I enjoy MW4 maps. Coal is a lot of fun. Backstab just came out in the Season 1 update and it is probably my favorite new map in 3 years. But I can look at the original MW trilogy and the first 2 Black Ops games and I can't think of really a bad map between the 5 of them. Sure there are some I liked more than others. But I don't remember ever being like "Fuck...not this map." But now...there is always at least 2 or 3. For instance...Canyon...which is another new map...that EVERYONE camps for some reason...and then Sentry might be my most hated map in about 4 games.
I'm sure there are some other things. But here are 5. I'm not one of those people that hate SBMM. Weather it stays or goes, I'm going to have great games and I'm going to have shitty games. That's just the way it goes in COD. But I do think it would be fun for them to get rid of it just to see how many people would actually come back. I'd also be interested to see stats on how well all these old players that don't like SBMM do.

So you're just fucking stupid. gotcha.
For anyone curious, piracy is objectively theft. It doesn't matter what you THIN your definition is...or how you try to spin it to make sense in your head. Now...I don't care if any of you pirate games. None of my fucking business...but at that point...just admit you do it because you suck as a human being. Which is fine. Almost all of us do.
Whelp. I have just fully cleared Dragon's Maw in Final Fantasy Resonance. That was one of the most...annoying experiences I've experienced in gaming in a long time. It is what it is. But MAN I wish it was a tad bit less spongy in terms of enemy health.
I actually agree with this. I have never liked the second hand market for games, and unless I've absolutely had to for super old games, I only buy them brand new (full priced, or on sale). Even in my 20s I didn't like the idea of buying a game, trading it in and only getting 10 bucks for it, just for them to resell it for 35.
Not a fan of the "but it's not on what I play" excuse. Well yeah. It's a console exclusive. It's supposed to be a reason you buy the console. I want to play OOT Remake myself, but I don't have a Switch 2 because as of right now...it's the only game I want to play that is an exclusive. At some point I will get one and when I do, I will then get OOT. Until then...there are THOUSANDS...10s of thousands...even hundreds of thousands... of other games for me to play. I'll be good.
Finally got around to watching Dragula, and thankfully, we're done with the Monsters of Rock episode for the season. I'm probably in the minority for this opinion, but I'm generally not a fan of the MoR episodes.
Also, as far as bands not having a lot of energy as a whole...that song didn't really come off as energetic itself.
I feel like Feral Pussy had a good idea with old cat ladies...but it should have been expressed more with (fake) cats as props and not being human cats. I even said that as they were designing their drag to my wife.
Koochie is still my current favorite human on the show, but I don't know if just being a good human is going to be good enough to win. Hope to see them step it up.

@JoshuaS41784001@Warship141 This is part of the problem though. I personally understand emulation when it comes to things no longer accessible. But console exclusives sole reason to exist, is to push console sales.
@Goobysqdd This one came out of left field. lmao. Not sure how anything I said equates to pedophilia to you.
Or is this just your go to to try and get under peoples skin?
just pick one and go to be honest. My first was a Link to the Past...and while yes...there is technically an overarching plot...Most of us can't tell you what it is because it's all over the damn place. HOWEVER...each game's story can also be seen as it's own self contained story. So yeah.
There are two exceptions. Breath of the Wild SHOULD be played before Tears of the Kingdom
But also Ocarina of Time SHOULD be played before Majora's Mask.
To my immediate knowledge...most of the others are pretty singular in story telling.
@The_PessiMystic Unfortunately, even if I was on site, the servers I work off of are in another state so it wouldn't have mattered. 😭 They got them fixed though. So we got it done!
The worst thing about having my work from home job, is when servers fall apart somewhere else and it's out of my control. I'm just trying to do my job man.
