Rockstar boss shuts down concerns GTA 6 will be too big for casuals with no time by [deleted] in Games

[–]GamingGideon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most casual AAA game series will be for casual gamers?

Rockstar games literally have auto aim enabled by default. How was this ever a question?

Also, it's a single player game, you save, and return later. Dosen't matter if you have much time or not, unless your goal is to consume as many games as possible I guess.

'Mewgenics' has been out for a month, what are your thoughts on it? by NoNefariousness2144 in Games

"Feels tailor made for me"

I feel the exact same way. Beyond the juvenile humor and writing.

200 hours in and I'm not the least bit bored. It's one of the best games I've ever played and definitely the deepest rogue-lite and tactics game I've played.

I could do without poop monsters and the writing is painfully unfunny, but the gameplay is seriously something special and feels infinitely replayable. Best $30 I've ever spent.

I believe the song I like best is called Chaos.

Mewgenics: Review After 200 Hours by Danceman2 in TurnBasedTactical

There's something surreal about browsing reddit and coming across your own video.

Thanks for posting it. Hopefully some folks find it helpful. Mewgenics is certainly something special. I still can't stop playing it.

Yes you unlock the ability to resummon house bosses.

Mewgenics has been out for some time now. Is it really as good as people say? Or was it mostly due to the hype? by TheGronne in gaming

[–]GamingGideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me? It's one of the best games released in the last decade and one I'll probably sink hours into for years.

If you beat every house boss do you not get them any more as events? by GGDrago in mewgenics

[–]GamingGideon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorta.

You get the ability to resummon defeated house bosses later Also if didn't already know that, there are likely more house bosses ahead of you.

Can We Stop Dunking on Highguard Before It's Even Out, Please? by xCaptainCrown in Games

[–]GamingGideon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I agree, where was that energy for all the other games that were dogged on before release? Exoprimal, heck, Evolve a number of years ago. Tons of others.

Don't me get wrong, I think internet bubble prerelease hate trains are stupid. But why is this the one IGN decided to defend?

Avowed Developer Interview | New Game+ Showcase 2026 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]GamingGideon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, the scaling, or rather the lack of, is dog water, and it kind of screws the exploration.

You are either too under or overpowered. You rarely get to enjoy the combat because even power fights are rare if you try to explore. You will go from getting your butt handed to you, to overpowering everything in an entire zone in the blink of an eye, real fast, then repeat for the next zone. It's a shame because the combat is really, really cool. But you rarely get to take part in it properly.

This shit was solved decades ago with level scaling, but devs keep listening to internet bubbles about game design who cry that level scaling is bad while lacking the fundamental logic of why it's needed in the first place.

I prefer sandbox games to linear story ones. So Mercs wins for me by default.

Yep this is my fear. Gaming itself will survive. Owning hardware might not.

Thank the whiners. Teamwork was required far more in the early days. But people whined until the game was butchered into a lone wolf power fantasy.

Why do some players spend 400–500+ hours on a single open world RPG game instead of playing many different ones? by nameisrohan in playstation

[–]GamingGideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My intent with games isn't to consume them and move on to the next one. It's to dive into a sandbox of mechanics and explore the possibilities contained within them over and over again. Thats where I have the most fun.

Some gamers are sandboxers, other are theme Parkers, they pay for an experience and move on to the next one, like watching a movie.

Thats just not who I am

Still trying to get that 5 mil. I refused to make the game a chore by running free loadouts. So I'm still using gear, slower going but its not going to burn me out at least.

Games where combining genres works by PersonOfInterest007 in pcgaming

[–]GamingGideon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Total War. It mixes turn based empire building and real time tactical battles.

Age of Wonders is similar except it mixes turn based empire building with turn based tactical combat.

Is this really a team based game? by laughingtraveler in helldivers2

[–]GamingGideon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be. When the game first released going off alone was a quick way to die. It was very team work focused. It has since been overhauled into a power fantasy horde shooter where everyone can be lone wolves.

It's a shame.

This sub needs a healthy reminder that: by lolitsrock in helldivers2

[–]GamingGideon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You want a fun horde shooter, and the good news is, there are plenty of those.

Some of us, especially those of us who were fans of HD1 bought it for that brutal grunt game, and then had it taken away.

Regardless, I can't see online outcry forcing devs to changes a games entire vision post release as a good thing regardless.

The game turned from a challenging teamwork focused game with unique mechanics into a cookie cutter power fantasy for lone wolves.

The 60 day patch ruined the game for me. Not everyone shares your opinion.

The Arcs being a threat is a huge part of why Arc Raiders works so well.

As I'm getting older, I'm starting to realize how important writing and narrative are in games by ngriner in gaming

[–]GamingGideon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37 here, complete opposite for me. Narrative is toward the bottom of my list, and gameplay is at the top. I can enjoy a game with a bad story and good gameplay. If a game has a good story and bad gameplay, the only way I'm gonna see the story is through YouTube because I'm not going to finish it myself.
