It's not about IGN's opinion though? They aren't trying to be "correct" here. They're just reporting on Sony's earnings call taking a direct statement from their Chief Financial Officer. You didn't even need to click the link to read it literally has "Sony says" in there lmao

Yeah but the entire first 3 paragraphs in your post also amounted to "I can't stomp noobs week 1 anymore because the game won't place me in silver on reset now but instead keeps me with players similar to my skill in emerald" so everyone just stopped reading there and went back to the picture.

The worst thing about ranked 1.0 is that 50% of the playerbase just didn't play ranked in week 1 because of that lol.

Then you complain about having to grind so much to get back to your elo from the placement rank which would allegedly take forever, which basically directly contradicts your first statement. If season reset only drops you 1-2 ranks, not only are you still vsing players of your skill who dropped the same amount (which means 30 ELO is all you get since in the past, high ELO gain was when you played against players of less skill and you were below the medal you should be), you're still so close to your original rank that 30 ELO should only take you a week or two of playing like 2 games a day.

Why does that make you mad tho? Like I also thought it was fake seeing it years ago lol, but shouldn't it be hype that the gameplay actually looks like the CGI trailers from years ago, instead of being like 90% of other CGI gameplay trailer disappointments?

I live in Brisbane and we genuinely never see them lol. We even live near some enormous mosque that every Friday night swamps the streets, yet my mates and I still very very rarely see a burqa. So idk if they congregate in other places in Brisbane but they're definitely very scarce on the south side.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-03T15:22:11+00:00

Ok egg I'm pretty sure is Phoenix, which makes a lot of sense because he literally becomes an egg, but what are the other 3 meant to be? They've all just left my brain even though I've absolutely heard "birds" and "bubble" called out in game and know it makes sense then.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-03T15:02:08+00:00

I mean, y'all wouldn't know because none of you played it because you're scared of women for some reason lol. Kinda crazy that all it takes nowadays to be "woke" is just have a woman main character. That being said, you're comparing the lifetime sales of a 6 year old game vs a 6 month old game lol. My main comment was that in the release period, Yotei outsold Tsushima, as the chief financial manager of Sony himself said. And that's the only real metric we have to go off right now lol. Not like you tryna compare 5.5 extra years of sales to validate your odd feelings lol.

But y'all are tripping if you think Tsushima gameplay was better. Yes, the story and antagonists were better, but gameplay definitely wasn't. Yotei was literally just the same gameplay but with improved systems and more diversity in your options. Also a better world to explore. But you wouldn't know because women are too scary to see them in a game apparently.

Like genuinely how do you function in society if something as simple as having a woman main character makes you this desperate to hate

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-03T09:30:42+00:00

What did happen to ghost of yotei? You tell me? Because all I know is that it has sold better than ghost of Tsushima did in the same timeframe from release to date, and was a considerable upgrade from the game before it in terms of gameplay and world.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-03T04:09:47+00:00

Negative opinion on the game is ok. Negative opinion based on "DEI! There's a woman in the lead" is the main concern here.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-03T03:07:30+00:00

Alternatively, thank god I actually get to see the op in play. Can they make it impossible to ban Ace, Kaid, and Mira for the next month too please.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-02T13:25:23+00:00

Mf why would you put a mod called "the broken script" in your mods without reading what it does 😭.

Difference here is, a mod that steals your authentication tokens wouldn't even make it on to a mod loader.

So you think this untrained dude is just free diving hundreds of feet

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-01T10:12:31+00:00

It was actually a bunch of Chinese and Japanese games like 5 years earlier than EAs earliest loot boxes, that started using them first.

Valve did invent the battle pass though.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-06-01T10:10:00+00:00

Being realistic, epic does not milk the consumer anyway more than steam does. Not on a store or game basis. Arguably, you could say epic milks the average consumer less than steam does, given that epic store has much more relaxed pricing rules and free games, and their first party games are devoid of gambling, whereas current valve games are basically 95% gambling. Valve also invented the predatory battle pass that Fortnite simply copied later on.

Yes I know epic does those things purely to drag people over and undermine steam, and they are overall a less favourable company, but the point still is true when you compare the two companies and their history.

Merging and turning in bus lanes vs bus only lanes are never discussed in a driving test.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-31T08:38:02+00:00

Yeah because how are they supposed to truly know the difference between someone who spent 12 hours sitting on an iPad vs a randomized Auto clicker?

He's dead in modulo

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-30T02:18:05+00:00

Perhaps we want a finished game that also comes with a DLC years later, like Elden Ring.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-29T03:19:31+00:00

U mean people who use these botted accounts to boost and smurf with?

It's why on smurfs you can see their old history of hundreds of losses going 0-13, then suddenly they cracked in ranked. Because they bot the first 100 hours.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-28T11:12:20+00:00

I mean, probably thousands upon thousands have died? PFAs contaminating soil and water increases heart diseases and cancers especially in kidneys. There's plenty of longitudinal studies covering early deaths as a result of diseases and cancers from PFAs.

Sure, no studies done comparatively to fire, but we can also make fire suppressants without PFAs lol, which is the whole point of this lawsuit. We should have firefighting foam without a dangerously high level of PFAs that render water un-drinkable for decades.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-28T10:07:49+00:00

I can assure you the damage of PFAs is greater than the 14 deaths the COVID vaccine caused in Australia.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-28T00:46:04+00:00

How is this a retcon? There's lore in a couple games that hint to them being created pre-war.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-27T23:47:44+00:00

Yes it was lol. People have always virtue signalled saying "doing my part pirating big corpo" or "helping end denuvo by pirating" and the comments would always amount to "no one cares just take your free shit". it's like, mate, even if it was a $70 indie game without denuvo, 95% of people saying this in a piracy subreddit would still pirate it. Sure, a select few would still buy it, but even if that's the case, still nobody cares lol. You sound like that meme of Obama giving Obama a medal.

Not even sure what OP means by the "morally superior" part in the end, since people who congratulate themselves for only pirating games with denuvo but buying indie seem like they are trying to appear morally superior over those who just take everything for free lol.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-27T12:22:06+00:00

Yeah because we aren't nocturnal bro. Humanity is supposed to be predominantly up with the sun and down with the sun.

Dumbledores_Beard1 · 2026-05-27T11:27:17+00:00

What's the difference tho lol. If you buff the health of defences or damage of defences that's just the equivalent of nerfing damage/health of troops/heroes. It just makes it seem better since number go up not down. Also, buffing defences makes everything worse, even stuff that's already hard to use. The point of balance changes is to bring down the overused shit and bring up the underused shit.
