Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

[Mortadela_Viva]

Little Nightmares 3 reviews are dropping and thoughts appear to be mixed. From what I read it is over all weaker then 1 and 2. One element I do want to bring up is the original 2 games had allusions to Japan as Spirited Away was a major source of inspiration for the original. Things like the main antagonist of the first game being a geisha and the final level being a Japanese restaurant to architecture and clothing and the gibberish language they use are all meant to be reminiscent of stuff from Japan. That's all gone now. The literal second Tarsier left the IP to do their own thing Bandai tossed all of those elements out for mass appeal and made one of the 2 new mcs a little black kid and the other a red haired girl that looks like that live action abomination from cowboy bepop adaptation on Netflix. It's very frustrating to see a series I liked as it was a breath of fresh air from the usual horror slop get subverted the second it switches hands. Besides the MC's it'll take viewing the whole game to see if they added more woke elements or not.

every game has 'hitstop' now for no reason, it looks dumb

it was fine in certain cinematic action games, but now it's just overused

I hate it so much. It looks so jittery. Even Skyrim modders have been including it with mods it's awful. That silent hill F game is the worst I've ever seen it. I hated it in the new monster hunter game too. I will never play a game with this 'feature'.

This is the White American Gamer's win, not the a chinese win. Don't be a third worldist.

Yeah, I've put @gerey for being an anti-American *****-shill
Just can't handle the negative chi

This is what we in the third-world call cultural appropriation.

Idk there's just been a recent string of games and they're all woke and it's like they didn't get the memo that we're supposed to be in the golden age now and that Trump won. Absolum is woke, silksong is woke, bye sweet carole is woke, ghost of yotei is woke, hades 2 is woke (yeah yeah i know duh its supergiant), little nightmares 3 barely dodges that label but its another game with unnecessary blacks. Just a non stop string of L's in the gaming sphere.

we're still gonna cop libtarded games since most of em will have been in development before the big dawg Trump got in, and even so, game devs are all turbo libtarded ******-loving niggerfaggots anyway, so most of them are gonna make gay **** to spite us regardless. libtards love dying on their hill of cringe.

They only play basketball or football (whichever one) games and Call of Duty slop, so I can't fathom the impulse to cater to them.
The worst is putting in the female ones everywhere. Why? Those sows don't play games except for a tiny minority of the minority.
This leaves white leftist virtue signaling to each other by inserting their fetish/totem animals.

If those subhumans were deleted from reality tomorrow, few would think it a bad thing and in a year they'd be mostly forgotten.

It takes years to make games.
Between 10 to 5 years ago, they thought they were winning and taking over.
Why do you think Trump and company raises such fury in them that they have gone to murder and violent riots?
The games you are seeing now were begun and designed during the reign of soyfaggotry.
We only just found out that Ubisoft intended to make an "Assassin's Creed" game set in the late 19th century just after the civil war where a ****** ex-slave was killing white humans and Uncle Toms.
After the disasters of the Samurai Gay ****** and **** ***** Far Cry, they finally read the room and shut that **** down permanently. Victory is slow and not assured but keep up the pressure!

It's actually worse than that. As leftism abets narcissism it becomes a cycle of these traits being mutually amplified in their faggotish, ******-loving commie bubbles.
The customers and shareholders that don't agree with them literally don't matter to these developers, only their pay and their virtue signaling in the only group whose opinions they ever see.

It doesn't help they receive infinite money from NGO's, governments, and our greatest ally. Any game that bombs can be written off as a tax write off.

I'm not sure if this one is an oversight. Fane specifically warns you before you start that you will need to cover your head around humans.

ATOM is certainly on my list to get to.

I don't think I really care at all about microtransactions, quite honestly.

Nobody actually cares about "microtransactions".
You can't convince me otherwise. You think you do, but you don't.

If you can sell me a product that's worth buying then guess what? That's fantastic, keep it up.

Complaining about DLC/microtransactions is reddit deflection for why video games are terrible. We know why they're terrible, look at the people making them.

[Rand]

I care when they're one of a few things.
• Like the new VtM: Bloodlines 2, where they' were clearly parts of the original game, and are included with the game but disabled, that were carved out to be sold separately upon release.
• When it's the usual (possibly deliberately) bad game design/QOL features and the microtransaction mitigates this; create the problem and sell the solution.
• Pay to have a more powerful gun/sword/armor/whatever that another player can get without a miniscule lucky roll or grinding for a year.

You're not buying any of those games to begin with so you don't actually care. You're not the customer.

Point 1 is one of my main criteria for deciding piracy or support (one with higher weight is: "Is it corporate produced/published or not?" Corpo games are always pirated.)
Point 3 is why I quit playing Stalcraft forever.

So I might play some, but I pay none.
Sell me a product, not a problem.

[rusty_shackleford]

Proc-gen often feels meaningless which is why it's not good.
If we work from an assumption that the real world is proc-gen (I am not asserting one way or the other here so don't swerve into philosophical arguments), shouldn't everything feel meaningless? But it doesn't, does it? An empty planet maybe feels quite meaningless, but things humans lovingly craft do not.
…
Perhaps gamedevs need to stop trying to procgen content but procgen agents that create content that is very important for the agent.

They went back on this, so you're going to buy it now, right?

(they also weren't part of the original game, they were made with a separate DLC budget and if they hadn't been, they wouldn't have been a deliverable in the contract and never would have been worked on in the first place, don't make me post the Bioware Day 1 DLC image again)

Of course not, nobody is dissuaded from buying a good product because they're able to buy more of it.
