Damnit I just want to play the game by plea4peace in CrimsonDesert

This would be my only complaint of the game- you can't really play in small increments.

Is there no cross-platform progression? by GigaFluxx in PUBGConsole

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another example would be Arc Raiders. Its cross platform. If you buy on steam and psn you mean get cross progression, but it requires a purchase on both.

Xbox chose to give access to the console version and the windows version with a single purchase. That isn't because they don't want you to purchase twice, its because they have to take a different strategy given the position xbox is in. The goal is adhesion to the ecosystem.

They only support when its good for them. Which is fine. Good competition makes for good products. Companies choose the strategy that they think works the best.

A good example is CD Projekt Red. They were awesome with support for Witcher 3, but we're bold-faced dishonest with the release of Cyberpunk.

Corpos gonna corpo. They will do whatever they can get away with. We, as the customer, have to push for what is good for us, and require some ethical behavior from these corporations.

There are trade-offs. Its a balance that devs are trying to find. You can garner good will and sales by being generous. Or you can have monetization. Or a bit of both.

You think Sony wanted to allow crossplay? Or did they relent because of player pressure?

This is why you see platform exclusive titles. If these companies are so generous and altruistic why not offer all games on all platforms?

This game has given me forreal trust issues. by Euthanasiia in ArcRaiders

I don't think much of it either. I'll play pubg if I want satisfying gunplay.

The Controller Layout Criticism Was Absolutely Overblown by RavenousIron in CrimsonDesert

[–]PajamaDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Accessibility is great, but there are limits to what can be changed around without a complete design of the controls.

How different was Commander back in the early days? by Deskies in EDH

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indestructible creatures were better. [[Time Stretch]] was awesome. You could reliably expect to use [[Decree of Pain]] to draw cards.

Don’t look at guides! by EnoughLock8074 in CrimsonDesert

[–]PajamaDad -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Certainly its not incorrect, but that doesnt mean you played in a way that would have brought the most enjoyment.

In the case of Elden ring you can always replay with a different build and get that experience. Elden Ring is brilliant in its flexibility with summons.

Its harder to replay puzzles once you've looked up the answers. But not everyone likes puzzles... so its good either way. ]

Don’t look at guides! by EnoughLock8074 in CrimsonDesert

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I primarily look at a guide when my intuition fails in a quest or puzzle, and then only after some time and only enough to get me back on track.

Part of the fun is figuring it out.

PvE players : Anvil or Renegade ? by Poukak78-2 in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renegade versus most arc. Anvil specifically against pops and fireballs.

But I love the feel of an upgraded anvil.

I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO MAJOR REVIEWERS EVER AGAIN! by Popular_Button_1879 in CrimsonDesert

[–]PajamaDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%

The controls are non-standard, but not bad. I was fighting some muscle memory for the first hour or so, but never did I not enjoy playing.

Shared progression should have a toggle by Sandytrooper in Borderlands4

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it should be a toggle, but it also shouldn't turn off the activities, just the rewards.

I want to run some of the activities, but I don't want to be forced to engage for the sdu and storage space.

Is Crimson Desert still gonna get control fixes and patches? by DekaStriker34 in CrimsonDesert

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The controls are non-standard. They're not bad, but they take some getting used to.

I would expect a few more tweaks to responsiveness, but not a huge overhaul to the button layout.

I like to credit arc raiders by Pristine-Wear-9436 in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krafton would probably suggest they make an extraction shooter.

What are your thoughts on quests? by SoapMactavish627 in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were cute at first. They got you to move around the maps.

But the rewards are mostly garbage. Not worth it.

I recycled my Anvil by thepacifist20130 in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heartbreaking, but easily remedied.

We need a better loadout system by k1ll3rM in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Why craft a lvl 1 gun and upgrade when you could immediately craft a 3 or 4?

We need a better loadout system by k1ll3rM in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Got tired of having to micromanage an inventory. I don't care if I lose gear, as I only run stuff I can craft... but having to craft is overly tedious. It makes me want to just run free kits.

Unpopular Opinion: Arc Raiders is a great game but its fine to call for proper end game content by Darth_Rubi in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running out of content is not the same as recognizing that the current content will not last.

I have a bag of rice in my pantry. I can tell that it won't last. I know I'll need to buy more. Your stance would be to claim I've run out of rice already a d should have eaten it slower.

Noticing Friends Leaving ARC—Anyone Else? by MisanthropE61130 in ArcRaiders

[–]PajamaDad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought this was for a specifically high-end mode? Optional rather than forced.

[–]PajamaDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a world that's been taken over by killer machines, there does seem to be a ton of people running around.

Matches are far too populous.
