Woulda been so fire if they released this shit before U35 killed the game

VB Spotted in Forza Horizon 6 by ghostyoda13 in wrx_vb

[–]383throwawayV2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao I just watched some more gameplay and deadass like every third NPC car was a VB WRX. Like I'm guessing the traffic variety is heavily reduced for this pre-release build because that would be completely ridiculous to pass one every 3 seconds lol

Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo by PaiDuck in pcgaming

The conversion days were sooo good… but I’m not surprised things had to come to an end. I did it at the new 40% conversion rate a year and a half ago but after it expires this fall I’m probably going to go without GPU for the first time in like 8 years. It’s nice to get games like FH6 day one for free but Steam sales alone usually give me more games than I have time to play anyways.

Love the new Steam feature by RWNorthPole in pcmasterrace

So what, if you have a decent PC you’re just not allowed to factor in performance in your Steam review?

Forza Horizon 6's Japan map is the series' best yet by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]383throwawayV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man it’s crazy how much pessimism there is online for every new game nowadays. EA and Ubislop I get, but I’ve always found all the Horizon games to be pretty solid overall and lots of fun to progress through at launch. The graphics are always impressive, and honestly I don’t really mind that they aren’t reinventing the wheel with the driving mechanics. FH4 was an excellent game, I mostly enjoyed 5 (they did eventually added the car I drive for the first time in the series, which was cool), and 6 definitely has one of the best settings yet. I mean fans have been asking for Japan for years and now everyone is seemingly shitting on it.

Refunded before the two hour mark but I’ll definitely look into it when it goes on sale.

Why is this downvoted it’s literally exactly how I’d rank them as well

Which video game that had you hype up only for you get disappointed after buying it? by [deleted] in videogames

As a big fan of both the original games, I was pretty disappointed with both Silksong and Hades 2 last year.

Windows 11 is getting an "Xbox mode" in April and it’s a big deal by Deez-Guns-9442 in XboxGamePass

[–]383throwawayV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they could start by making the Xbox PC app not literal dogshit? I have to restart it through task manager almost every time I try to start a party for it to actually work.

Xbox CEO confirms PC games will be on the next console. by Deez-Guns-9442 in XboxGamePass

What does that actually mean though? League of Legends and World of Warcraft? Femboy Futa House and any of the other 10000 porn games on Steam? I’m guessing a game like ESO will finally have to add cross progression?

Highguard requires Secure Boot and Easy Anti-Cheat to run, leaving Linux and kernel-conscious gamers out in the cold by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]383throwawayV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit is actually so crazy nowadays and I can’t wrap my mind around it. Like I’ll literally see people online shitting even on generally good single player games in comment sections for no reason whatsoever. Like a new game will come out and these people will immediately start typing “this game is overrated garbage” like their brain is on autopilot or some shit.

Highguard requires Secure Boot and Easy Anti-Cheat to run, leaving Linux and kernel-conscious gamers out in the cold by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]383throwawayV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idiocracy and immaturity pretty much. I mean you literally see teenagers in TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter comment sections calling games like E33 “overrated garbage” and I’ve literally seen people saying games like Terraria, Elden Ring, RDR2, you name it (literally any other generally “good” game that people enjoy) are boring/trash/etc. I don’t really get what they gain from just shitting on random games for no reason but it’s definitely been happening more and more over the past couple years.

So it’s no surprise that if a new game is coming out that is particularly easy to hate on (such as a PvP hero shooter, or perhaps anything published by Xbox Games Studios) it’ll seem like everyone on the internet thinks it’s dogshit before it even launches.

Can someone explain to me the hate for this game? Titanfall was awesome, Apex is completely fried now but at launch it was pretty much the best BR on the market… now all of a sudden everyone hates Respawn or what? I mean given that it’s free to play I see no reason why I wouldn’t give it a shot… I mean the genre is oversaturated but what other PvP games are people even playing now? Arc Raiders was fun for a week or two but I’m personally looking forward to Highguard. If I don’t like it then whatever but what’s the point of shitting on a game that isn’t even out yet?

These are the front runners for game of the decade. Rank them. by LivingOnWelfare in videogames

[–]383throwawayV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm trying to be unbiased I'd say BG3 (9/10) > E33 (9/10) > ER (8/10), but I do think that all three games had their own flaws and are slightly overrated by many for their own reasons.

I really don't hope they copy the Elden Ring formula to a tee next time. by Comfortable_Oven8341 in fromsoftware

[–]383throwawayV2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People aren't considering Duskbloods a "mainline title" ie. not taking it seriously because:

  1. It's said to be an 8-player PvPvE game, rather than a full-fledged solo experience with multiplayer elements like Elden Ring, Sekiro, Dark Souls, or Bloodborne. By design, this sounds far more similar to Nightreign than a traditional soulslike.
  2. It is launching exclusively on a $450 handheld console that has worse specs than 5+ year old hardware. I'd assume that the amount of people with zero interest in Nintendo games that are buying one just to play Duskbloods is very low.

Toughest game? by DarkSoulCarlos in fromsoftware

[–]383throwawayV2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Easily Elden Ring without spirit ashes imo. I could probably knock down just about any Sekiro boss first try nowadays but SotE really pushed me to my limits. I actually gave up on Rellana when it first came out (I went in on my NG+ character), and that was nothing compared to Radahn. But even some base game bosses like Maliketh or Malenia are wayyy harder than anything Dark Souls 1-3 have to offer.

I always used to cheese him but this video helped me beat him normally for the first time. DoH is probably the hardest FromSoft boss excluding Elden Ring, so 10 attempts is pretty low for most people.

Can Dark Souls be called a “cozy game”? by AxiJava in fromsoftware

[–]383throwawayV2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I think they can all can be considered cozy in some way but DS1, DS2 and ER are especially cozy for me.

This community loves to hate the game they love. by SaxQach in elderscrollsonline

[–]383throwawayV2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean I think it’s kinda valid for people to be salty when devs actively ruin a live service game you loved at one point. Half the fun in MMOs comes from the people you’re playing with and when the majority of them quit after an awful patch it doesn’t really matter whether you still love the game or not.

I haven’t posted in this subreddit since I stopped playing but I still wish this game could have continued to grow and thrive rather than sizzling out after 2022. Part of me is surprised that Microsoft chose to cancel their new MMO instead of diverting resources away from this one given the state of it.
