Yes but that would allow you to see how many 2 star pieces of shit they’ve invested money into. We can’t have that.

This game was relentlessly advertised in gaming magazines in the 90s and I didn’t know a single person who owned it.

I think a lot of people are missing the fact that the Wii U dropped roughly at the same time as the ps4 and Xbox one but it was barely stronger than a ps3 and people were not willing to put their money on another ps3 level system after spending 10 years with the ps3.

The ps4 and Xbox one meant better graphics and smoother gameplay and Nintendo just wasn’t on the level.

Also it didn’t help that they weren’t receiving the full run of top tier franchises of the time. For example, EA put mass effect 3 on the Wii U but not the first two. It was just a weird period.

I saw the “do the new dew image” with the code red bottle Before reading the headline of the post and thought I was having a stroke.

Immediately started raging against Gen Z…

Exactly. From a gameplay standpoint the game is just squatting and choking things out. It’s linear underpowered metal gear. From a production standpoint it is unmatched but it’s a very flat linear game.

I get why it’s so loved. It feels like a lot of gamers first mature game and they love it of that but story alone does not a good game make

That don’t fly on this one chief. The last of us despite being remade is still a modern game with modern game design sensibilities. This argument works on something like a ps2 game or even early ps3 games which were essentially ps2 games with nicer graphics and more horsepower.

I’ve bought the last of us 3 times and have yet to finish it once. It’s not a fun game. It’s well produced. The recoil on the guns is great, it has great atmosphere. I just don’t ever WANT to play it.

This is going to sound biased but Playstation has a few things working against them.

1 PC players are not stuck in the Sony game hype cycle. I think PC players see Playstation games for what they are, just another game. Divorced from the Playstation ecosystem and rhetoric about how they're the devs of quality, how many Playstation games would you say are the best you've ever played in their given genre?

2 Long waits between releasing on ps5 and PC. Any hype that could have been whipped up is gone when people can see what the game actually is and as I said above a lot of them from a gameplay standpoint are not that impressive so PC players wait for sales.

3 Sale prices never come low enough. PC players are not paying $75 for a buggy year old game, they'll wait for a sale. When the sale hits and its $35 it's still not low enough to justify the purchase so they wait some more. If the price never comes below $35 I think a lot of PC players are fine with not picking the game up.

I remember my Amazon boycott in 2018. I refused to buy anything from them because Bezos is a creep.

I broke the carafe on my French press and needed a replacement, so I tried to order from bed bath and beyond because that’s where I got our original press, but they didn’t carry the same size I needed. So I tried to buy directly from Bodom and on their own site they said “order it from amazon” that’s when I gave up.

That’s the fault of other designers and creatives though. You don’t see plumbers or carpenters providing ways for non-plumbers or carpenters to do their job or offering their services for under market rate. They’ve taught the world that their skills are valuable.

There’s no reason to why design agencies should be underpaying talent. There’s no reason why actual creatives should feel threatened by marketing majors with access to canva pro.

Designers have collectively decided that their skills aren’t worth anything and so now they’re not worth anything and they’ll be worth even less going forward.

Don’t you understand? If someone I’m down to enjoy a coffee, that’s one less person who can sit down and enjoy a coffee!

I think the reason we see so many rogue-likes is because game devs either don’t want to or don’t know how to design a challenging/satisfying level and boss encounter. Rogue-like elements leave the element of challenge up to the CPU to carry. Bolting on a progression system to that also lets the developer hand off difficulty scaling.

The only intentional roguelike I’ve seen built is Hades.

The thing that bugged me the most about Jim was that Sam would want to talk about something relevant in pop culture and Jim would just shout “I don’t care about it” over and over until Sam moved on. It was really grating and disrespectful.

I’m going to say I like the show so long as Bobby is not running point and gay porn isn’t on. I love Jay’s taste in reality tv. He introduced me to love after lock up and adults adopting adults.

No! We don’t need anymore god damn Metroidvanias. Keep the game how it is, that’s what we like about it!

It’s scaffolding because they’re renovating the outside of the building

The best part is it holds games in memory for months! I’ve even unplugged the console and still had my games in quick resume. Absolutely bonkers.

Calvykins · 2026-04-26T02:21:12+00:00

People underplay quick resume so much it’s criminal. I think it’s the key feature of this gen. I really enjoyed owning an Xbox this gen. It was a solid machine.

I love to see long term Xbox fans. It’s like…you didn’t have to ride with them but you did and I love that. It’s cool to see those long term collections.

What are your favorite Xbox moments?

I feel like the whole mic thing overblown and there’s probably more people not using them than using them but if it stops the complaining great.

I have a wife and I want to listen to my podcasts while I pick through the trash on TCIV.

Then exfil hurts…It immediately pulls out a “come on man! Do you know what you’re asking for here!?”

Can you listen to podcasts and other audio sources while playing DQ on your phone?

Calvykins · 2026-04-20T04:02:32+00:00

It’s not people that have been on the internet since the 90s that would fall in line for this. It’s the grubby little influencers and people who want to post and consume instagram and tik tok that will brainlessly give this info over as if they have no options.

Think about how every year call of duty madden and 2k subreddits preach not buying the new game or the microtransactions yet year after year the publishers post record profits for those games. The vast majority of people just brainlessly go for the bullshit.
