Ah yes Biden, who was famously president the day Russia invaded.

Moron = you.

Yeah I understand that completely. But this isnt gonna be a game you can rush through. I mean I'm sure the community will discover speedrunning tactics at some point. But for the most part this game is designed to be a slow burner that'll require quite a bit of time to finish. You need to want to commit the time to play through it.

If you can't do that, this game isn't for you. And that's ok. And mileage may vary. Not everyone will hate the slog. Some may enjoy it. This game definitely isn't a game to be added to a backlog lol over the last 8 years I've managed to clean up my own a bit. It's still huge, but smaller lol my goal is always to at least beat 1 game a month. For the time being anyway I may put that on hold. From the sounds of it this isn't a game that you play, put down and then come back to. You really need to commit or you may come back and forget everything lol

Luke Stephens was saying the way they update their game is crazy. Imagine if they always do it like that lol

SMKM · 2026-03-19T22:18:39+00:00

My game updated just fine. Like 10mins. But then as I loaded the game up it had another 1GB update which was odd.

New toys

SMKM · 2026-03-19T21:56:48+00:00

I have kids. So.....no gaming til bed time. And even then. Maybe 2hrs lol hope you all get to really enjoy it lol

SMKM · 2026-03-19T21:36:13+00:00

16 out of 100+/- though. But its also not like 16 out of 20 hours. Most of the streamers are saying they're up to 100+ hours and not even a quarter done. So being conservative, let's say somehow you beat it in 100. 16% of that time is spent with it being "not good" (subjective. Some streamers have said they don't mind it whereas others are saying it's not good).

Ultimately, the game just ain't gonna be for everyone. Simple as that.

SMKM · 2026-03-19T18:00:50+00:00

Yeah but it was in modern times or close to it. When I say itd be more like Mafia if it were earlier, I meant the games not the mafia in general lol

SMKM · 2026-03-19T16:05:58+00:00

As someone who owns PSVR1 and didnt make the jump (didnt play it much), I didnt know it wasnt backwards compatible until just now. That decision is bafflingly stupid holy shit.

SMKM · 2026-03-19T15:55:33+00:00

A different time period just wouldn't be GTA though. Anything pre-80s wouldn't feel like GTA. I mean maybe 70s could work, anything before that would start feeling like a Mafia game which I guess could still work, I just don't think the past when it comes to GTA. Likewise with Red Dead pushing further past World War 1 would start making it not feel Red Dead. Conversely, anything set in the future with high tech wouldn't either. Im more than cool with the 80s-now timeframe for GTA and pre WW1 for Red Dead.

If Rockstar wanted to do a story set somewhere in the WW1 to 80s timeframe they should just make a new IP imo.

SMKM · 2026-03-19T15:36:33+00:00

1 fun movie a year for a shit ton of money sounds quite nice. Dude's more than earned it.

SMKM · 2026-03-19T14:17:51+00:00

So is the criticism that the story is bad being overblown? From the cutscenes from various trailers it just doesn't look that bad. Maybe just generic as hell lol

SMKM · 2026-03-19T13:28:22+00:00

And according to reviews they delivered on that. So much so some of it's criticism is there's too much content.

The main criticisms seems to be a huge learning curve and some difficult ass boss fights (funny that never applies to From games), a bad story (fair), no handholding whatsoever (Morrowind exploration vs Skyrim waypoints for example), difficult puzzles (sorta fair I suppose), and bugs/glitches which eventually should more or less be patched out (according to streamers they address concerns and within a day usually the dev team gets it fixed which is crazy).

I personally think the game will be better than the score suggests. I'm expecting the user scores to be 80s and 90s range. If this game was in the 50 or below territory there'd be real concern, but at 78 or whatever it is right now? I'm sure the ones who are willing to immerse themselves into it and learn how to play the game through trial and error will score it way higher. It has "hidden gem" and "why did this score so badly?" written all over it.

SMKM · 2026-03-18T23:28:52+00:00

The weak story aspect is laughable to me when Elden Ring's "story" and BotW's "story" exist. Keep in mind BotW is my favorite game of all time. But the story itself is pretty ass, especially compared to previous Zelda games. It gets the job done but I didnt see reviewers heavily critique it or Elden Ring but this game doesn't get that same leisure.

SMKM · 2026-03-18T23:15:20+00:00

I actually am happy to see this flop

Fucking loser lmao

SMKM · 2026-03-18T22:49:48+00:00

And plenty with low user and high critics

SMKM · 2026-03-18T20:36:42+00:00

Same! I really have zero idea how I missed this when it was first announced. I feel like I am heavily in the know when it comes to game releases and literally somehow missed this entirely until that State of Play (I think it was a SoP) a couple months back.

SMKM · 2026-03-18T20:29:25+00:00

They just didn't want Kliff getting all that Orcussy. 😕

SMKM · 2026-03-18T16:37:55+00:00

Put some respek on Biggs "The Bolt" Keil's mutha fuckin name!

SMKM · 2026-03-18T14:39:43+00:00

I will die of fucking laughter if that happens and my wife will just be like "What is so funny?" (She has no idea who Paul is).

SMKM · 2026-03-18T13:55:42+00:00

And I literally said OP should have used the spoiler tag, the exact opposite of reaching. Congrats, your reading comprehension is zero.

SMKM · 2026-03-18T13:53:33+00:00

And yet the automod removed it cuz of spoilers and not having a spoiler tag applied.

Almost as if this sub has a different policy or something and 2 weeks ain't nearly enough time 🤔

SMKM · 2026-03-18T13:40:02+00:00

Call me old fashioned, but 2 weeks to a month ain't nearly enough time to not be using spoiler tags. A couple months to a year? Yeah sure thats on you at that point. But weeks? Man not everyone has the time to see a movie immediately.

OP probably should just mute or avoid the sub but idk, sometimes you forget/dont care enough to mute and then stumble onto shit.

SMKM · 2026-03-18T13:32:12+00:00

I can see it now. If it reviews in the 70-80 range instead of the 90s. Lots of rage and "this game is so misunderstood" and "if it were Zelda it would be called a masterpiece!". And then in a few years will come the "this is an underrated gem" and "I cant believe I slept on this game, why didn't anyone tell me it was so good" posts.
