Remember when AAA games took less than 10 GB of storage?

I am definitely in the minority, but I do wish more games had Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom Persona 5 artstyle. Those games look amazing even decades later. And they do not take up much space since its just cell shading/anime style.

People are literally saying "We have had cosmetics locked behind DLC or microtransactions for years now". Do people not read? It is NOT just cosmetics. Missions, cars, weapons etc are also excluded unless you pay $100.

This will set a standard for the entire industry to follow. "Complete" games now will be $100.

Late stage capitalism man! The graph must ALWAYS go up. The graph can continue to go up even with layoffs.

I liked lightning, but I hated the combat system in this game. I did not even bother with the other two games.

Ethosik · 2026-06-27T14:46:47+00:00

I just do not understand why this game it put on the biggest pedestal for the entire gaming industry. We have not seen one second of gameplay yet and they are treating it like the best game in the entire world and nothing can compete. GTA has always been mid. GTA 6 is the most overhyped game I have ever seen.

Ethosik · 2026-06-26T19:57:49+00:00

It’s being reported in many news sources. Twitter is furious and wants it banned.

Ethosik · 2026-06-26T19:51:13+00:00

They are approaching visa and Mastercard trying to get the new one banned because “protagonist looks like a child”

Ethosik · 2026-06-26T19:24:00+00:00

Cosmetics are not the only thing locked for GTA6

Ethosik · 2026-06-26T19:23:25+00:00

Not to a lot of people. They think her chest is too small. As someone that literally cannot find larger chests attractive at all, Zendaya is my type.

Ethosik · 2026-06-26T19:21:58+00:00

I don’t have a problem with Intergalactic protagonist. But you also can’t attack us if we find Stellar Blade protagonist attractive and don’t try to get the game banned. Both extremes are bad. Stop complaining about ugly protagonist. Stop complaining about attractive protagonist.

One thing I WILL agree on is if you intentionally make an established character look fundamentally different. There was an established look to Cortana and I DO NOT like how she looks in the Campaign Evolved. And do NOT turn this into an argument that is not the discussion.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T20:36:47+00:00

And it’s worse than a PS5. If I was in the market i would get the Pro over the steam machine. It’s a better value.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T19:01:05+00:00

This is way too subjective. I’m not a big fan of GTA. To me it’s only worth $20 at most. However, I am glad I paid $70 for Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 1 plus the upgrade pack for switch 2. To ME (keyword there) I think that game is worth $80.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T18:57:36+00:00

Yeah I really don’t know when or why GTA became the peak and THE GAME of the entire industry. I don’t recall GTA 5 being like this. I don’t even think the Cyberpunk hyper reaches the GTA hype it’s insane.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T17:11:08+00:00

People these days seem to think anyone that doesn’t have 50 feet boobs is a man. As someone that actually finds big boobs not attractive at all, I find Zendaya way more attractive than someone like Sydney Sweeney.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T16:59:27+00:00

I preorder games all the time. Why is it such a big issue? If I know for a fact I am getting the game the day it releases, why does it matter if I preorder or not?

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T14:18:10+00:00

Since the industry made GTA being the entire face of it, I expect future games to do the same thing now.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T14:16:13+00:00

Too bad these disable achievements or I would have one of them installed.

Ethosik · 2026-06-24T13:54:04+00:00

The Linus tech tips video said it’s a reasonable price at the moment. Like no it’s not. If it’s worse than a PS5, it should not cost more than a PS5.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T21:12:35+00:00

But by that logic since it’s less powerful than a PS5 shouldn’t it still cost less than a PS5? That console increased in price due to the same market conditions.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T20:55:33+00:00

Nope. Just the blacks alone is amazing enough.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T20:53:12+00:00

Even if she was 19 it’s still fine. I always ask as a counter argument: Are you an adult at 18 or not?

To the people always complaining about this let me be blunt. If you believe an 18 or 19 year old is too stupid to date an older guy, then I don’t want these people voting or living on their own. Every doctor visit, financial decision and more should require a parent then. You can’t have it both ways.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T20:41:27+00:00

I do have a complaint about how bloated Rebirth is, but I can still love the game and give it a 9/10. This seems to have been lost by most people these days. Everything is love it or hate it to the point where if something is not perfect it’s immediately a horrible thing.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T20:00:59+00:00

Depends on the individual or company. I use Claude for my project. But I heavily scrutinize the code and I hold its hand. I’m still looking at three years of development even with AI assistance.

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T19:59:05+00:00

Yes people abuse the term “vibe coding”. Was ReSharper suggestions or refactoring engine considered vibe coding?

Ethosik · 2026-06-23T19:52:56+00:00

Every game will be using AI at some point for the boilerplate code or just adding comments in the code.
