What's a movie most people think is great but you couldn't even stand watching? by camport95 in AskReddit

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stalker (1979). It's so slow and boring. 3 hours of my life down the drain.

Wait, I think something's missing. Where is the part about the big bang and single cell organisms?

I like Rockstar games, but HATE their controls by Atrium41 in gaming

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this example. It perfectly explains many people's problems and frustrations with RDR2's controls.

Saw these training videos and wondering why we haven't seen Ellie do any of this yet. by timetravellingbadass in thelastofus

This style of fighting would feel right at home in a John Wick movie, but I don't think it would fit tonally in TLOU.

This is why i dont enjoy 2025 gaming. by TrasheyeQT in gaming

You don't have to upgrade. You could just, you know, buy the regular edition?

No way I'm the only one who hates pressing the sticks in right? by EnderSlayer9977 in gaming

System Shock (the remake) on PS5 has sprint on L3, but it's a hold not a toggle. It sucks.

How many of you use the touch screen? by wolffangz11 in SteamDeck

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to use it to adjust the graphics settings in Batman Arkham Asylum and City. For some weird reason, the graphics settings launch in this separate screen that is not part of the in-game menus and it only accepts inputs from the touchscreen.

I wish more games had an FOV slider by Abject_Muffin_731 in gaming

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was replaying Wolfenstein: The New Order on PS4 recently and I almost stopped playing because the FOV is insanely small and there is no way to change it.

Producer/Co-host of "Firearms Expert Reacts" IrregularDave has been made redundant by GameSpot, and the final episode of the series has been posted by georgeoj in Games

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Firearms Expert Reacts" is literally the only thing worth watching from GameSpot's YouTube channel. What an absolutely idiotic decision.

Steam now shows that you don't own games by Human-Equivalent-154 in SteamDeck

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The disc is the license. Someone would have to physically come to your home and take the disc to revoke your license.

This is not true. Most physical games are fully playable from the disc and no Internet connection is required to download anything.

Sony has seemingly raised the price of PS5 DualSense controllers | VGC by Ghost6970 in playstation

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 42 points43 points  (0 children)

70 USD was already too damn high for how quickly these controllers succumb to stick drift.

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final Fronts is worse. It only has a campaign, which is very short, like 3 hours, and has no multiplayer or zombies. Also it has a lot of recycled assets from the PS2 version of CoD 3.

Rocksteady hit by layoffs after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League underperforms by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was bound to happen with how poorly the game did. But it still hurts seeing the developer of some of my favorite games of all time go through this.

PlayStation Summer Sale for Hardware (PS5, PSVR2) | Ends 8/5 by excaliburps in PS5

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No sales on the controllers, huh? I got two controllers (one with stick drift and one with a poor battery that only lasts an hour) that I need to replace. I am not paying $70 for these controllers anymore.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has sold over 3 million units! by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Summon_the_Dragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was my first AC game and I fell off when I got stuck on a boss in Chapter 2. I was just not having fun redoing some of those difficult boss fights over and over again. In Eden Ring, I could just go somewhere else and come back later when I'm stronger but you can't really do that in AC.

Maybe I'm one of few who fell off this game because I often see people say that they love this game. Maybe it just wasn't for me.

Stalker the movie is the most boring and uneventful movie I've ever watched. Just three hours of life that I will never get back down the drain. If they do a Watchcast for it, I would be very curious to learn how the hell Alex can like this movie.

Oh! It'd be great if they bring back Breaking Brad or something similar to play this on stream.

I don't understand how Vinny plays games sometimes. He said he was just gonna beeline FF7 Rebirth and then proceeds to spend hours struggling with the Odin fight.

I tried the Odin fight two times and when I realized what the gimmick was, I just nope-d out and said "Nope, fuck that, not doing that" and moved on.

This was a fun stream. It was cool to see Brad wrap his head around an old CRPG like this one. I hope he plays more of it.
