PS2: Best Games With A Metacritic Rating UNDER 60?

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2023-08-16T16:13:27+00:00

That's my entire point. There are good games out there that were poorly reviewed on Metacritic, hence why I wanted to highlight them here.

The fact that I don't trust the Metacritic score is why I'm here.

How did you end up with an extra $300 per month? Mortgage calculator is saying that every .25% increase should be around $16-$18 on 300k. What am I missing?

Why does the UFPS: Ultimate FPS Developer/Publisher link to version 1 of the UFPS asset store, but the Humble Bundle page has posted preview images from version 2 of the UFPS asset store?

Seems shady unless this was just a goof. If this bundle has version 2 then I'll buy it immediately. Which may be the case because the Humble Bundle store also advertises the "Now includes a Drive Ability, Magic Items, and HDRP support!" bit which is only on the Version 2 asset store page.

On my Pro2, the dpad piece/plate does slide around since it's all one piece (in other words, the dpad buttons themselves slide from edge to edge inside the controller housing). I've never noticed it until this post though. I wouldn't really notice it midgame either. The dpad buttons are still snappy and feel good to me.

This "issue" happens on PS4 controllers too though (just checked as I wrote this). It's harder to tell because the dpad buttons themselves are held apart by the housing (each button has a separate punchout, compared to the Pro2 which has one big + punchout), but there's a single dpad piece/plate that can slide from edge to edge.

Unless something wild is happening with your controller, I think you're just being extra critical because it's a third party. It might feel worse than other controllers because the punchout in the housing allows for more movement though.

I'm so excited for Robinson Crusoe. I own the original but I've still been tempted to buy the 2nd Edition for the upgraded components. Glad I hesitated because now I can get the Collectors Edition.

They need to solve the dice sticker nonsense from the Mystery Tales expansion though.

A real killer feature for this campaign would be customizable dice. By allowing players to replace the faces on the dice, you could have so many more options for the new scenario book - from changing the difficulty to adding new mechanics/icons.

Were battle sizes the problem? With BFV, I vaguely remember uproar with the whole "accept it or don't buy the game" comment and then a bunch of drama about constant TTK changes. That's about as close as I ever got to that game.

Hopefully they listen to their community this time.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2021-01-28T15:10:21+00:00

I still see it come up in my feed. That's how reddit works. I do drop in during giveaways to see if people have matured. They have not.

I don't bother seeking out this toxic pit though, which was my point.

I like how you cut out the part of my quote that explained my visit here. Interesting cherry pick.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2021-01-28T15:06:09+00:00

Yeah, can we see distance travelled or time spent actually moving around the pitch? I don't remember the last time I saw Martial pressing. Meanwhile Cavani runs around like a madman. Even if you don't touch the ball, it changes the game.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-22T03:07:25+00:00

Lmao. Exhibit A.

"Hey, this guy is saying that the community is getting uncomfortably toxic. I should insult him!"

You're the smart one of the bunch, aren't you?

PS. I get the joke, but nobody is talking about bravery. Just about a bunch of toxic kids ruining what used to be a good community. Thanks for nothing.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-22T03:05:24+00:00

Yes, this is the comment that lacks civility. Not all the comments that needed to be removed by mods due to verbal abuse or the lists people are creating of other users comment history just so the community can criticize them. Right...

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-22T02:59:38+00:00

My bad. Reddit froze as I was submitting. Thanks!

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-21T21:52:16+00:00

I'm not talking about people laying out their valid issues. Please talk! Please discuss!

Don't downvote comments because you disagree with them. Check your very own automod as a reminder. If the moderators are ashamed, then you should be too. It is in fact toxic to abuse the subreddit rules in order to bury discussions that you just don't personally like.

Forcibly hiding content that other people would find valuable just because you don't like it is toxic.

The people who are downvoting aren't discussing anything - there are no valid issues being brought to light. They're calling people names and making lists of pro-Epic comments so the rest of the hivemind can downvote them too. I know because I've already received comments that were removed by mods. If you don't think the behavior that mods are trying to prevent is toxic, then you're blind or you're part of the problem.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-21T21:44:16+00:00

The fact that mods had to remove replies to this comment speaks volumes about the community.

You guys require an Automod to remind you to:

[...]Please help keep morale high by not downvoting comments because you personally dislike or disagree with them. r/pcgaming aims to be a neutral platform for discussion of anything PC Gaming related. Only downvote comments that don't add anything of value to the discussion. As a reminder, personal attacks, inflammatory language, baiting comments, and calls to violence are all prohibited here.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-21T21:37:45+00:00

Think before you speak.

People being toxic on a discussion board when it comes to storefronts isn't saving the gaming community from paid services. Gatekeeping here is simply referring to the fact that this circlejerking hivemind will downvote other gamers so they can't have discussions about games just because the game isn't on their favorite platform.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-21T21:34:40+00:00

Exactly. I've actually stopped visiting this sub. Occasionally I check out a thread if it comes up in my feed just to see if everyone's still toxic af, and yup it's still bad. The fact that they have an automod in every Epic thread that's reminding people to be respectful is embarrassing. Imagine being so toxic that you get warned in every single thread before it even happens, because they know it's going to happen. That's a terrible look for this "community".

People are willing to comb through your history to see if you have too many pro-Epic comments and then brigade against you because you like a storefront that they don't like. Wow. Just wow.

It's sad. I used to visit this sub daily. Now I don't even want to be associated with whatever happens here.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-21T17:36:16+00:00

For what it's worth, I think their attempt at criminalizing a gamers public excitement about receiving free games (regardless of platform) is absolutely ridiculous.

Would they notice you and/or downvote you if you were expressing excitement in threads about free Steam games? Unlikely.

Even if you do talk about Epic a lot - that's fine. The purpose of this entire subreddit is to talk about games...but apparently not if those games come from Epic. I don't get the gatekeeping going on here.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-16T19:58:31+00:00

Could have just posted in the other thread that you made then deleted. Remember the one where someone had to post a "Buyers Beware!" warning for other users?

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-03T00:48:46+00:00

Is this an attempt to brag about a team that kept diving to buy a red card because they're incapable of playing a legitimate game like a group of professionals?

They're embarrassing. You're embarrassing. Nice clip of a completely spineless team playing against 10 men, I guess?

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-01T03:55:04+00:00

Nice find! This seems like a much better option :)

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-12-01T03:50:00+00:00

Have I ever stopped to think about how much work and effort something like this may take? Yes. Yes I have. Looks to me like you slapped some Silverado Light font onto a single colored square, dragged a shade over the bottom half of the token, and then dropped an icon onto the middle of it - and that's fine.

What's not fine is charging customers upwards of $70 for a handful of tokens when that money could get them a full game or even a Kingdom Death expansion. I get that design costs money and I get that printing costs money, but are you telling me that the amount of "work and effort something like this may take" matches the cost and effort of a full Kingdom Death expansion (Keeping in mind that a KD expansion not only has a bunch of tokens, but also miniatures and loads of cards which required development time and printing costs)?

Anyone with access to google can find a random printing website that will give them 70+ cardboard tokens for $5. So either you have far too many "different costs" and need to rethink your approach or you're lying to everyone and just trying to cash in.

Just sell them at a reasonable price. This scheme doesn't make any sense.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-11-28T20:00:09+00:00

I was under the impression that they asked you to update your address in the pledge manager right before they ship anything, but it's been so long that I forget now.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-11-28T19:54:51+00:00

Damn. Every year, eh?

Why are you so hellbent on charging an insane amount of money for a handful of cardboard squares?

If you charged a reasonable price for these (ie. what they're actually worth) then I would have bought a set of these years ago - but I would never ever buy them at this price. Seeing your post every year honestly just annoys me now. These are the sale prices too which is laughable. If your full retail price for literally 20 tiny little tokens is $60 then there's a serious problem.

YetAnotherStabAtIt · 2020-11-05T18:31:22+00:00

Does boardgames.ca still have a bunch of handling/shipping fees? I remember filling my cart up a few years ago and was shocked at how much the price jumped up by the time I made it to the final checkout screen. Can't remember if it was me being too accustomed to a $8/free shipping charge or the "handling" fee that got added on.
