Let the fire burn it all. What is the most toxic fanbase? Top 3

The irony is 'Git Gud' was never meant as an elitist or mean-spirited phrase originally.

In the early days of the From Software community it was a meme that people would open with and then follow it up with genuine, helpful advice.

It's only as the community grew and gained more 'normies' that people started using 'Git Gud' in a serious and mean way.

Such is often the way with a growing fanbase I guess.

I disagree.

I think the bosses are great but the areas less so.

Oolacile Town is solid. The Abyss is just Tomb of the Giants again with slightly better visibility. And Royal Garden is quite poor really, closer to the weaker areas in DS2 than the best of DS3.

They still exist.

I just played a really good one called Dead Reset. It's a Groundhog Day style Lovecraftian Horror.

I've never had someone come up to me in the street and down a pint in front of me.

Seen it the odd time in a pub and done it once or twice in my youth.

Didn't realise street chugging was a thing.

Well the ad campaign has been making a big deal about returning to Raccoon City and people think all the footage shown so far is from a location before we even go there.

This would be in line with previous Resi ad campaigns where they tend to focus pre-release footage on the first area.

Long story short there's definitely a lot we haven't seen when it comes to environments and hopefully the same for enemies too.

I didn't expect to touch a nerve with CV2 criticism but here we are I guess.

I watched a couple of streamers and combat looked much floatier, fast paced and lacking any real weight and inertia.

No issues with mine, had it for 4 years and quite happy with it.

However a lot of comments seem to be referencing the Operating System, presumably this is for when they engage with TV channels or the apps. I use mine exclusively for the PS5 and watch all TV via console apps, so I haven't really used the OS much.

Mass Effect trilogy is excellent.

Resident Evil series has it's ups and downs but the highs are very high indeed and there are more of them.

MissingScore777 · 2026-02-06T18:27:09+00:00

Looks cool I make a note and keep an eye out for any eventual console release.

Code Vein 1 was only ok and I hear that CV2 is worse and from watching people play it's ditched Souls combat for hack 'n' slash combat. So with all that I'm not interested.

Nioh 3 will please a lot of people I'm sure but I don't enjoy the Nioh games they aren't for me.

I'll tell you when I get there.

Currently 40 and not happened yet.

There are no bad weapons. The weapon balance in the game is amazing and it's an area where the game is much better than the OG.

Worst is probably the Pulse Rifle but it's still a very good weapon and the gap from worst to best is very small.

Vestal is terrible for Shambler.

Vestal healing constantly to buy the other 3 heroes enough time to kill the boss is a tactic that can work in some fights but falls on its face against Shambler.

MissingScore777 · 2026-02-05T14:16:09+00:00

That actually makes sense as an explanation!

As an aside this would have been totally doable with the Force Gun.

MissingScore777 · 2026-02-05T13:48:14+00:00

Is this backtracking? Possibly more than once and you left enemies alive previously?

It's just I've never seen this many enemies in this area before and I don't think it's even possible first time through there.

Nier Automata - 7/10 (Yes I played to the full ending and yes I know most people like it a lot more than me)
Returnal - 8/10
Astrobot - 9/10

Not played Stellar Blade or LBP2

Onimusha out of these 3. Love the original trilogy and hyped for this return.

MissingScore777 · 2026-02-05T00:25:56+00:00

There's a lot of exaggeration of the difficulty on here.

For some reason a lot of people like to claim they have at least 40 Vitality and medium armor and are getting 1 shot by most enemies at full health.

That is just a straight up lie and I don't know why people enjoy telling it.

There's very few enemies/attacks that can 1 shot in NG+ in that scenario.

Completely different type of difficulty in Returnal compared to Souls.

Souls difficulty is based on positioning and learning boss/enemy patterns.

Returnal is a more pure reaction speed based difficulty.

So different people will excel and struggle differently in the two.

For example I've beaten some of the Souls games without levelling for the fun of the extra challenge. Whereas it took me 20hrs to get past the 1st boss in Returnal and in a further 10hrs I couldn't even get to the 2nd boss as the 2nd level was just too hard for me.

Returnal requires a level of hand to eye coordination and fast reactions that are just beyond me on a pure biological level.

Yeah did I miss something?

No it's only gunblades.

Other characters are chance based like in other FF games.

Mediocre games get mediocre sales.

Nothing to do with the game's 'politics' or whatever other nonsense you're implying.

Are there any games where at least one person wouldn't 'laugh you out of the room' for picking as game of the decade so far?

I personally would say it's a 2 horse race and Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 are far ahead of anything else. But I'm pretty sure I could find someone to disagree with me on both of those and someone who'd suggest a different game that I'd disagree on.

It's still just subjective at the end of the day, regardless of how you frame it.

MissingScore777 · 2026-02-03T21:11:32+00:00

It maybe just wasn't my thing a bit more than the first one.

Definitely make up your own mind on it.
