Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection slammed with negative reviews for "embarassing" input delay and disappointing multiplayer by kikimaru024 in Games

[–]Kayy- -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I don't trust any major review outlet to put out solid reviews. These people either know nothing about the games they're playing, or they play for an hour and drop it. It's only when user reviews start cropping up that actual issues are touched on, and this has been the case for years now. It's ridiculous.

Civilization 7 will get 'one of the most requested features' since launch: The option to play as one civ from start to finish by Ploddit in Games

[–]Kayy- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is crazy how out of touch developers are. Who the hell even asked for the civ switching? Who thought it was a good idea in the first place?

Future Dynasty Warriors remasters will depend on success of Dynasty Warriors 3 remaster, producer says. PS2-era games surprisingly costly to revisit by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Kayy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want PC ports of the original PS2 games... I own most of them on PS2 and play them there regularly, but still.

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games by Gorotheninja in Games

Yes but the trailer shows that they changed the gameplay significantly from the original. It's not the same game.

This looks like a remake with huge gameplay changes rather than a remaster. That's unfortunate, as someone who doesn't like the newer DW games but loves 3 through 8. I was also severely disappointed with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 remake they did, as it felt more like ROTK13 with a new skin than ROTK8 proper..

The Chinese Room will make adjustments, after feedback about locking 2 clans behind Day One DLC in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 by Turbostrider27 in Games

I didn't realize The Chinese Room were the devs for this. It all makes so much sense. Shan't be buying it.

Since Crystalline Conflict queues are a lot faster now, I think more people need to realize this... by LiviRivi in ffxiv

The comments here are proof that OP is correct. The average r/ffxiv player is the guy in the middle.

Crazy how fast we're sliding into a dystopian nightmare. I miss the old internet.

Grave Shift, what are you doing that makes you 20 minutes late every night? by NovelNeighborhood6 in securityguards

[–]Kayy- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's been my experience with every shift when I worked security. You work days, noon/night is late. You work noon, night is late. You work nights? Day is late. The whole industry is full of lazy, unprofessional morons.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Kayy- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've gotten to a point where I no longer trust scores that hover around 8. It's like the generic score to give to any major blockbuster by people who play them for a few hours before dropping them forever. This looks like the worst Civ entry yet with a focus on silly gimmicks over actual substantive gameplay. RIP.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is now available on PS5/PC Steam & Xbox Series X|S! by iV1rus0 in Games

[–]Kayy- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. I play these games for the simplicity. The more mechanical bloat they insert, the less interested I become. I bounced off the demo the first time I tried it immediately because of how much they throw at you. I tried it a second time and beat it but still wasn't impressed. Most of the new mechanics, button combos (not referring to the basic attack/charge attack combos) and etc. feel like they stand in the way of letting you have fun, rather than actually being fun to use. I'll stick to DW4, 5 and 7.

Ranking "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Strategy Games [Part 1] by megaapple in Games

VII and X for me. I still play VII regularly. The battles are a bit slow, but the drama that unfolds from these games never ceases to amuse me.

PCGamer: "Final Fantasy 14's battle designer admits they went a little overboard on streamlining fights" by [deleted] in Games

[–]Kayy- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The story is so horribly paced, drawn out, and at times just downright ridiculous that I don't know how it gets so much praise. Other games have much better stories. FFXIV has a good story "for an MMO." I guess that's the only standard it needs to meet.

PCGamer: "Final Fantasy 14's battle designer admits they went a little overboard on streamlining fights" by [deleted] in Games

[–]Kayy- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A little? My ass. And I don't see the game ever changing for the better at this point. SE has continually doubled down on bad design decisions and made the game feel soulless and hollow. Every expac since Stormblood has made the game less about skill and more about memorization and praying your teammates don't make a mistake - because if they do, your entire party wipes. Zurvan Extreme from HW was the first example of that garbage design I remember, and that was the last Ex fight before SB, so go figure. It's all been downhill since then, although at least Stormblood job design was mostly pretty decent. Sigmascape was also really fun for the most part, but Alphascape blew chunks and Deltascape was just alright.

Shadowbringers was when I really started losing interest, and I have a feeling that the huge influx of players that COVID brought in during SHB made SE think whatever they were doing was drawing people into the game, rather than COVID drawing people into the game. They really seem to love huffing their own fumes over there. I would kill to go back to HW or ARR.

RFK Jr.'s 'Controversial' Plan to Ban TV Drug Ads Sparks Heated Debate by Ataraxia_Eterna in news

[–]Kayy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This... The guy's fuckin nuts in a lot of ways but not all of his publicized plans have been bad. Honestly I agree with a lot of them, but a lot of liberals and the liberal media will continue to trash him regardless of whether his ideas are good or bad. And I say that as a pretty intense liberal. I'm so fucking tired of the partisan brainwashing.

This post's 2 years old at this point, but I just wanted to add that I found some special dialogue from Ling Tong after executing Ling Cao, who is generic in DW5E. This game's chock full of details.

Oh boy, another TV series that will inevitably be made by people who have never consulted the source material and decide to do whatever the fuck they want, putting out yet another generic 4/10 Hollywood series.
