I hear a lot of people say ‘the controls are easy to learn’, and I have to wonder if the game is extra unstable on my system for some reason, of if its otherwise glitching out somehow.
I am a heavy gamer, but something about the way the characters jerk about, snap to one spot or another, lunge randomly, all of which costs chunks of stamina, just feels so bad to me, and I struggle to predict when and why it happens.
I found it to be incredibly janky, to an unfun degree. The climbing seems simple, but the way the characters shutter and lunge, how hard it is to tell of a slope is ‘ground’ or ‘wall’, and other control difficulties ended up making me uninstall.
Wait, for real? I only ever saw the ‘sexual content’ tag, which is annoying to block, as it covers stuff like Baulder’s Gate 3 and such.
I wish Steam didn’t have porn on it
but I double-plus wish that Steam didn’t stop hosting porn only because of payment companies with outsized control over creative expression
I’m not personally interested in eating it. Just not appealing to me (and, I’m deathly allergic to seafood besides, which lab grown fish is still a problem there).
But I’m happy it exists, and hope it is environmentally friendly/cost effective enough to save animals, and improve the environment.
Built in 2006 though, well after morrowind
Yeah. This kinda stuff might help sway some people but for the fascists drafting these bills, this is not a contradiction. The bathroom they want trans people to use is none. They want trans people to not exist.
Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.
I made it to one ending, and really didn’t feel any desire to do another go around.
I know what you mean about ‘perfect’ though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they’re ‘perfect’ in what they’re trying to do.
It’s not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it’s still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don’t make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.
Yeah, this is what I do. It’s actually what I’ve done for decades, even before going vegan; I’ve always been allergic to seafood and nuts, so omegas are kinda hard for me to get.
Ground flax is great in a lot of things, morning oatmeal and soups are probably the big ones (though, does make is ‘gooey’, but for soups, does make ot similar to adding flour to thicken).
Whole flax seeds are better in stuff you don’t want ‘thickened’.
Eh, apples to oranges.
A 60$ game today is so unlike a 60$ two or three decades ago.
No physical medium. Much larger market and (potential at least) sales volume.
Proliferation of game engines; games don’t need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ each time, or write machine code anymore.
On top of that, there’s many other revenue streams. Not that I think this model is ‘fair and good’, but look at the mobile market, where a sale cost of $0 is king.
Something to be said about ‘lower cost incentivizing bad practices’ (as the article discusses), and yeah, some games could raise their price. But it’s far fron 1-1, as ‘sales volume’ trumps ‘sale price’ in importance.
I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.
Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I’d support then.
Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.
I think controller is only ‘necessary’ for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I’d prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.
Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board
I’m talking about the stuttering, caused primarily not recalculating shaders. Something I just dealt with the entirety of my first playthrough of ER. But the fact that it still isn’t fixed really makes me not want to play, or to pay them money.
Yeah, I’m holding off for a sale on this one. I liked Elden Ring well enough, but the performance issues are infuriating. Baffling that it still isn’t fixed.
I don’t care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it’s very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there’s some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn’t feel with Valheim or Grounded.
Big disagree about burgers and jerky.
Those beyond/impossible meats are fine I guess, but they’re not good. Weird taste, long lingering aftertaste. Solid C+ in my opinion.
While I prefer vegan jerky actually. That super tough peppery gluten jerky (pleather brand is what I’ve been getting) is great, as are the softer soy or mushroom jerkies. They are different, so no shade if you don’t like them, but there’s no tier for ‘you can tell the difference, and they taste better’.
Nuggets idk much about, as I’m not really a fan. Same with mayo.
Milk is another one where oat milk is better tasting than dairy milk imo.
agree about cheese generally. I can’t have nuts, so I’ve never had cashew queso, but that queso you can make with potatoes and carrots, while sounding weird, is actually pretty great. Maybe A- tier imo.
I fully agree. If you read my first comment, I pretty clearly as much as the new ones are pretty bad (story wise), the two Jaffe worked on are even worse in that regard.
I mean, I too would be unhappy with the new games’ stories. They’re not very good stories overall.
But, they’re better than the vast majority of video game plots, because that’s a low bar.
Still, Jaffe seems to imply the old stories in GoW were any better, when they were pure drivel. I might still be very underwhelmed by the story in the two new God of War’s, but I at least like that they’re trying (even if I think the direction of relying heavily on animation and visual flair is the wrong one, as far as telling good stories goes).
Engagement, voting on these makes the algorithm push their channel harder
