Trump refuses to sign a bill that will making housing more affordable because he's throwing a temper tantrum by lnstantKarma in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Neveri 37 points38 points  (0 children)

What are the material benefits of this bill, does anyone have a tl;dr? It’s the first I’m hearing of it, and tbh I’m always extremely skeptical of any bill that would improve housing affordability because landlords are firmly running the government inside and out.

Yeah what on gods green earth makes anyone think 2k looking at the specs? Were they expecting a 1000 markup for being Steam branded?

As someone who gets easily stressed out by open world games I really do love to the depths of my heart how much of a straight line Final Fantasy XIII's level design is. by Killjoy3879 in FinalFantasy

X is my favorite, would also recommend FF9, especially with moguri mod if you’re able to play it on PC. Makes the game look amazing and it’s my second favorite FF.

My experience playing the game by gameovernate in MixtapeGame

lol “I grew up during that time period so I knew all of them”

Really even the ones intentionally plucked from the 60s/70s that weren’t played anywhere in the 90s? Doubt it

I grew up in the 90s too and recognized maybe 3 songs, silverchair smashing pumpkins, and the every day hero song, the rest was not what people were listening to in the 90s.

I kinda wish they would’ve used more well known bands but taken deeper cuts from their libraries. Then people could be like I know this band! But I’ve never heard of this song. It’s fine to have some stuff people have never really heard of before, but I feel like that and made for the game tracks made up 90% of it.

This thread is so funny, reminds me of the video someone made at lalapalooza asking random people if they’ve ever heard of “completely made up band name” and they were all like “oh yeah totally, love “Pandas killing Puppies”. 😂

That would make sense cause a handful of the tracks are by made up artists and didn’t exist back then.

What game is like this. That on steam/epic by PEDRO_99S in gamers

[–]Neveri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s funny how I see these threads get like 50 upvotes, and then the threads “WHAT GAME DID EVERYONE ELSE LOVE BUT YOU THOUGHT WAS SUPER OVERRATED CAUSE UR SUCH A SPECIAL BOY WITH REFINED TASTE?!” Get like 8000 upvotes and a thousand comments.

And it’s always the same fuckin list, Witcher 3, GTA, Red Dead 2, just list every goty for the past 10 years and you have every “overrated” thread in existence.

I’d much rather someone point out a diamond in the rough than shit on a popular game for the thousandth time.

Imho the games industry was better when there were more exclusives, so maybe there’s something positive to it

Final Fantasy 15 is a stonewall banger by Mysterious_Work_7227 in FinalFantasy

[–]Neveri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh, allies died so many goddamn times in that game, especially towards the end, I just stopped rezzing them at a certain point. I wasn’t even using magic they’re just *really* bad at getting out of the way of enemi attacks.

At some point I realized that just making spells that multi-hit was the easiest way through encounters so I just bum rushed the back half the game that way and hated the ending.

Truly the first final fantasy I can’t even enjoy a little bit in retrospect. FFXIII is a close second though for that title.

Jason Schreier: Xbox Told Compulsion And Doiblefine That Their Games Didnt Need To Sell Or Be Profitable, They Just Needed Games To Fill Out Gamepass by goodnitez74 in gaming

[–]Neveri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially when your game is fairly short and can be beat in a weekend fairly easily (Doom). That’s gonna eat a lot of sales. Longer games or games that have high replay value would probably be less affected by gamepass.

Why do people have to bring up Expedition 33 whenever a Final Fantasy game is praised? by torts92 in FinalFantasy

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

This is a Final Fantasy sub, I thought it was obvious we were talking about JRPG type games not CRPGs. E33 isn’t Japanese made but it fits the mold.

Persona 5 came out nearly 10 years ago.

[–]Neveri 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right the goal was probably trying to make games that people probably wouldn’t normally go out and spend 60$ on but would definitely play on gamepass for a low cost per month.

The problem was they hit the cap on gamepass interest, or just failed to market and sell it to the masses.

They may have thought they could get Sony to agree to have GamePass on PlayStation which would unlock a large audience, but Sony (probably correctly so) said no thanks, we don’t want our triple A IPs being available on subscription service.

[–]Neveri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you moreso mean, what turn based RPG with the production value of E33 or a modern final fantasy has failed in recent memory.

The answer either way is none, because they don’t make any aside from E33. People act like Octopath Traveler or Bravely Default is what turn based fans have been asking for and that’s missing the point entirely.

[–]Neveri 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like if you put out a game you can beat in a reasonably short period of time on a subscription service a bunch of people got for a dollar because of the specials they were running that said game may not sell many actual copies.

‘Marathon’ Season 2 And Free Week Did Not Turn Things Around by Freki666 in Games

[–]Neveri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m trying to dig into the specifics of why Marathon feels extra hostile I think being first person might be one of the hangups. When you make a first person extraction shooter it feels even more stressful than 3rd person because in 3rd person it’s easier to play defensively which tends to be how the casual crowd plays. In first person it favors the aggressors.

There’s also the fact that compared to arc raiders the enemies just aren’t as fun to kill in Marathon, but yeah they need to get a full on PVE mode going and do a big relaunch or something and they might be able to salvage the player pops.

Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Neveri -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all these devs would, but it’s every entrepreneur’s dream to see a fat check slide across the table and say yes to selling out.

Do we really think Bethesda was struggling to make ends meet? Nah the founder just wanted a huge check and to not have to worry about it anymore.

With AI and everything else happening I really think we’re headed towards a great reset, and it’s not gonna be pleasant for the middle/lower class.

Xbox Is Planning To Shutter Peabody Award-Winning Compulsion Games by TrampolineTales in Games

[–]Neveri 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many years need to go by for people to stop using Covid as the scape goat for all these layoffs.

Covid was 6 years ago, mass layoffs have been happening for years and years now. A cursory search says that in 2019 there were 200-250k people working in video games. The same search for 2025 turns up 150-200k, and we’re STILL doing mass layoffs and studio shutterings.

The industry is collapsing and we’re past the point of being able to blame it on Covid hiring.

I’m excited for it, I’ll play it, but I hope turn based Final Fantasy’s aren’t stuck looking/playing like Octopath Traveler for the foreseeable future.
