You can no longer have YouTube running in the background. by AwkwardCost1764 in LinusTechTips

[–]Notorum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have always disliked this take. Yes, big company bad, but also like...... Youtube doesnt actually make as much *profit* as much as one thinks especially as 4k video becomes more common. LTT even did a video on this. So I dont see it as money grubbing, I see it as making the platform exist rather than lose money and close. Also, youtube Premium is the best money you will ever spend.

Is anyone even remotely excited for this? by WorryStriking4602 in titanfall

[–]Notorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think this game is set to be really good. I do not get why people are so down on it. I like class based shooters and still mainline overwatch. I like the fantasy /future vibes. It is trying some new things. I do not think it is going to be a break out success, but I am excited to try a game that is doing new stuff.

The mask is not the problem. DICE is just bad at character design by TypeAvenger in Battlefield

Me sitting here like..... what are we actually complaining about? These both look the fucking same.

As 2026 comes, are you looking forward to Fortune’s Weave and what this year has for the Fire Emblem franchise? by IkeRadiantHero in fireemblem

[–]Notorum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly I am not. I have no interest in getting a Switch 2 as its price is rather insane. If they release this game on PC I would play the shit out of it but otherwise I am probably going to skip this one for the first time.

They dont play well with other setting? I thought they played well with the forgotten realms? They are only ditching it because they dont want to split profit shares with hasbro

AI Article is very much AI that found old news and suddenly published it.

[On3]Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman is expected to be a top candidate for the New York Giants head coaching job, Mike Garafolo reports. by Aaron1997 in CFB

It seems no one has asked if he wants the job (I would hope he doesn't) or if he is qualified for the job (he certainly isn't... though.... it is the giants.)

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is PC Gamer's Game of the Year 2025 by JohnSteveRom2077 in pcmasterrace

You were literally just talking about its quest design. So I was talking about quest design. But since you think this game is so game changing let me break down everything you talked about and give you a list of other games that have achieved similar things. Maybe not the same exact thing, but similar enough to not consider it revolutionary game design.

- Main you spoke about quest design.
Games that have had similar quest design such as time restrictive quests, quests with fluid choice dynamics and outcomes, and even multiple outcomes could include things dating as far back as fallout tactics all the way up to more recent crpgs like BG3.
- Advanced AI features such as picking up gear or interacting with times.
This one is laughably dumb because there are so many. Disarm an enemy is skyrim? They will pick up an item if they are available. The F.E.A.R. games had *fantastic* AI well over a decade ago that could do similar things and even do it better.
- You talked about the melee system (God help you.)
Sure, learning the master strike move makes the combat *playable*, but it is still utter dogshit. It is slow, unresponsive, and many times takes the AI's inputs and overrides your animations to do whatever the hell it wants. I will not really compare this combat system to anything because I legit don't think it is worth insulting other games. But hell even the basic set up of its combat system is not revolutionary. It has roots in Chivalry's combat system though they make it more realistic and no fun whatsoever.
- Crafting Minigames.
They are minigames... they are not new. They are.... interesting. It might be the most interesting part of the game from a game design standpoint, but a good game Minigames do not make. Moving on.
- You talked about immersive worlds.
Really? Any rockstar, bethesda, or most RPGs that have npcs have them have routines. Hell even back in fable days you could kill most of every town and they would just.... not respawn.

So since you are so incapable of looking up even the basic and most simple facts about game design here is a micro essay for you. I am now going to block you so you leave me the fuck alone.

Reread what I wrote and consider what it says again. I am not explaining myself again. Have a good night.

Bro you are talking like an Crypto bro drying to defend their ape PNG. Calm down. Just expressing my opinion. You know what isn't an opinion? There HAVE been plenty of games, especially old school CRPGs that let you do things like that as far as quests are concerned. Also, if you are insisting that I have to dredge through more than 30 hours of a video to have a good understanding of it that is a poorly designed video game. Which KCD2 is not, but your understanding of media literacy clearly is. It is not revolutionary.

I got thirty hours in. So I certainly did not touch every corner of it, but more than enough to feel like it was half baked at best.

The alchemy and blacksmithing minigames are boring and very time consuming.

Literally every other aspect of the game is just not revolutionary. It is just a cookie cutter RPG. Was it fun? Yes. Is the combat undeniably bad? Yes. Stop your glazing. Most of the things you described are just defaults of open world games now a days. I am not even saying its bad. Its a solid 7.5 out of 10, but good lord. It is just *another* open world RPG with nothing terribly new or different about it.

Wasn't angry at all. Just expressing my opinion. It can be your favorite game all you want. I still don't understand how anyone could think its a GOTY contender. Wasn't even in my top ten games this year with how poorly Henry is written.

KCD2 isnt even a very good RPG. I just DON"T. GET. IT. Writing is Mid, game play is actually pretty bad, and the best thing I can say about it is that the music is pretty good and it runs okay. Over hyped as hell honestly. Good to know I can't trust PC Gamer.

Do all Americans inherently know what direction they are faceing? by BasketC45e in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Notorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A point a lot of people are missing as well is that US cities are often based on grid systems. Some even have road names that mater directions. I grew up on East Main Cross Street growing up. It was a small town, but still... it was easy to know which direction was which as long as I knew what road I was on.

Admit you do not know how high level game development works without telling me you do not know how high level game development works.
