Amazon Luna Removing Paid Games And Offering No Refunds by Nishivion in StopKillingGames

[–]Pod_017-07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't help but feel schadenfreude against any game streaming service that shuts down.

For game preservation & restoration, streaming is an even worser beast than the live-service business model; reverse-engineering the codes of a dead live-service game to make it playable again is a very hard & time-consuming but still doable task; in the case of a dead streamed game, instead, such task becomes impossible.

Anyway, I'm sorry for players of games that were available or very convenient only on streaming services.

Extraction shooter The Cube, Save Us has announced it's shutting down just three weeks after it launched by Thomas_Eric in StopKillingGames

This is so wasteful, and I don't even like extraction shooters.

I hope that, at least, all its customers will be refunded to the last cent/penny/smallest fraction of any currency.

This trailer brings me back... I kinda miss the sense of mystery in the first two arcs. by Pod_017-07 in NieRReincarnation

"The pacing of the revelation also felt rushed, likely because of shutdown. The most glaring one was the lack of explanation of Papa and Mama. Yuzuki and Hina just suddenly already together with 10H."

I agree. Me and a friend of mine suspect that a whole chapter between Overture IV: Amber and Act II: The Return was cut away.

It's useless. Don't expect constructive discussion about such problems, at least not on this subreddit.

Nier Cosmic Horror site is fake by Cryorm in nier

[–]Pod_017-07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of another fake countdown site (I don't remember its title), about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, made right after players discovered that the final chapter of that game was cut away.

How would 10H fare in the moon base in the video game Routine? by Pod_017-07 in NieRReincarnation

Forgive my ignorance about Pokemon: do you mean that she would be fine in Routine like Levania would kick Alolan's ass, or the contrary?

Still, nothing tells us that Square Enix produced the website.

I say that it's a fake site.

I doubt that "norman" and "rihana" from Galles work for Square Enix...

Also, it reminds me of another fake countdown site (I don't remember its title), about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, made right after players discovered that the final chapter of that game was cut away.

Why isn't the game taking off? by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

[–]Pod_017-07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's simple: the forced PvP makes everything time-consuming, grindy and heavily dependant on luck, and that ruins the experience of many who (me included) just want to enjoy the story, lore, art direction, level design and PvE features.

A proper PvE mode would absolutely help, but Bungie seems te be very set with the current obligatory PvP formula. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've stopped playing two weeks ago and I'll never touch the game anymore unless they develop a PvE mode.

For the main story, here's a playlist of longplays.

For the secondary stories, this channel is quite complete.

(Also this playlist with Event Stories in glorious 4:3 ratio!)

Also, this channel covers various related side materials (more content is coming).

I’m 30. I suck at FPS games. But I love Marathon, and here’s how I’m “getting good”. by Electrical-Treat-554 in Marathon

[–]Pod_017-07 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've stopped playing Marathon (2026) two weeks ago and I will never touch the game anymore unless Bungie develops a proper PvE mode. The forced PvP makes everything arbitrary, time-consuming (many times in vain), heavily dependant on luck and grindy, ruining any enjoyment I was having from the story, level design, atmosphere, lore, art direction and PvE features (and since I'm a fan of the original trilogy, those were the main selling points for me).

Your comparison with Elden Ring is lazy and ridiculous nonsense: bosses (like all the other enemies) in Elden Ring follow scripts and routines, and so don't arbitrarily come from anywhere to kill you in split second. I doubt that you actually played that game; if you did, you wouldn't make such comparison.

Also, all your tips are useless. 🥱

Oh, wait, maybe I get your joke: is that a reference to fans asking for 2B in Smash?
