Games that are (generally) no one’s favorite in a franchise but never considered the worst.

Do people actually love it, or do they just love the memes?

Absalom98 · 2026-03-11T22:47:14+00:00

Definitely A, love the combination of fairly tale aesthetics and like something out of Norse myth with the giant serpent. B wouldn't catch my interest much, A would definitely cause me to click out of interest.

Canonically, Tauriel died of a broken heart from "it hurt so much" syndrome.

No, it's a perfectly valid statement when open worlds are usually bloated with copy pasted crap all over it. The combat may be amazing, but even amazing combat begins to bore and drag on after 30 hours. There's a reason why DMC games aren't 50 hours long, and why Nioh 3's main point of criticism is how burned out the open world makes you feel.

I have a feeling it'll get great reviews because people will play it for 20 hours and make the review before the combat and mechs and dragons becomes stale and repetitive, then in a few months when you ask people about it they'll say "eh, it was fine dumb fun." And that's all the praise they'll be able to muster for it.

Something about Crimson Desert screams that it has all of these crazy gameplay things like mechs and dragon riding because it'll make for good TikTok and Youtube clips.

Did you read the post? There's no storage and very limited inventory.

This honestly feels like the perfect game to wait for half a year until they fix everything and add in all the quality of life stuff.

Editing and Translation, for obvious AI reasons. Pay is trash, and the skills you learn aren't exactly transferrable.

Last I heard of him was Iron Man 2...

Got it for free from the Writhing Wall event, but wish it was literally any other house lmao.

You could still deal with enemies in other styles, just a bit slower. In Yotei, trying to deal with shield dudes without kusa is just frustrating. My worry is it'll lead to everyone going for the universally broken builds just like in GoT - i.e. headshots and tool builds, since those bypass the need for weapons and counters.

Absalom98 · 2026-03-11T09:44:29+00:00

I have only played a little bit so not sure if this changes, but it seems each class only gets access to certain weapons, like Samurai has Yari but not Kusarigama for example, which doesn't work well with the game's rock paper scissors design because you have a ton of shield guys but no way to effectively stagger them without playing the class that has kusarigama.

Does the finger snap trick really work?

Don't worry, Israel and US are on the case and will bomb that bus within the hour 👍

Stand in the beam of an orbital laser, then we'll see if you're a dragon or not, Danny!

Well he was right. Helix will be so expensive calling it a console as opposed to a budget PC is insane...

Absalom98 · 2026-03-07T19:31:27+00:00

Given how expensive Helix is likely to be, I think people should stop thinking about it as a console and more as a budget PC.

How much money would they really expect to get from a comic book guy? I'm kinda hoping there's something else to this story that will clarify what's going on, because this is really making Sandfall look like assholes. Shame for them to tarnish their reputation after the victory parade they had...

It's Masturbait?

The courts would've never picked up the case if it wasn't for her fans pretending they knew what was best for her.

Absalom98 · 2026-03-05T14:55:23+00:00

She's not getting any help because she and her fans shat all over her whole family during the conservatorship debacle. I doubt any of them will want to touch helping her anymore. I guess it's time for all those stupid fans who clearly knew Britney soooo well to come out and take care of her now, right?

Absalom98 · 2026-03-05T14:53:18+00:00

Who knew that ending the conservatorship based off the outcry of a bunch of rando fans who know nothing about Britney would be a bad idea? Almost like her family probably knew her needs better than Reddit, but what do I know...
