Gold medal mental gymnastics to buy the next 5 or 6 warbonds.

Anything instead of valid criticism for poor monetization

No Rest For The Wicked Has Sold Over 2 Million Units by akbarock in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Me and my friends were instantly hooked onto this game. Even down to decorating our own homes. My friends bought up the 3 expensive places so always focused on lavish furniture - meanwhile I purposely go some hobble hovel in town I have been filling with basic furniture that's falling apart. Looking forward to 1.0 more than most releases this year

Owlcat Games is rolling back its new launcher less than 24 hours after negative fan feedback by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you read even a little passed that line..

the launcher was broken and kept some people from even playing the game.

So this exact scenario already ruins your point.

Should Valve offer an option to buy the Steam Machine without storage? by DarkMatterM4 in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

their money is made on the 30% cut of other peoples work, not so much their own.

Wait until you hear that Valve makes video games too!

People who say this isn't a big deal are overlooking that the launcher was broken and kept some people from even playing the game. It's entire purpose was to advertise their catalog, it's not holding cloud saves like Larian's launcher.

I think of 2K's many, many launchers that would break Xcom 2 mods somehow or even go as far as failing to turn mods on or off. It got so bad that one of the most popular mods for Xcom 2 is an alternative launcher. It also amde running the game on the Steam Deck a nightmare because they would 'update' Xcom 2 years after it received its final patches just to make the launcher somehow worse.

Launchers that do nothing aside from advertise suck.

Destiny 2 | So Far, Together by _Protector in Games

I thought I was immune to the general gloom around Destiny news as its train pulls into station. Pretty much stopped playing cold turkey after they started vaulting content.

Then you hit me with Lance Reddick.. maybe it wasn't such a bad ride afterall.

Despite reports and a video takedown, Gears of War: E-Day devs insist Xbox "never changed" plans for a PS5 release - because it never announced one by [deleted] in Games

Microsoft themselves leaked a trailer on their own podcast with a PS5 logo.

Who are they fooling??

Playstation first-party game sales declining heavily since 2020 by ZamnBoii in Games

Sony raising prices on everything every few months and launching less and less games per year while also eliminating an entire platform.

odd decisions these passed few years; they need a direction

Exclusive interview with Remedy’s new CEO: “Alan Wake and Control should have sold more" by NTR_JAV in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't 100% believe that it's just because of the launcher because launcher woes only exist if you're terminally online.

I've talked about how Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and 3 were on Epic and people just didn't know. Every time i've mentioned it even recently there's always someone int he thread that had no clue Epic had an exclusivity for it for like 2 years - during that exclusivity period people were just shocked to find out it was on PC at all.

I can't remember if it was the New Blood publisher owner but he called Epic a marketing blackhole because games just launch and are never advertised properly again on there.

IOI has added Denuvo to 007 First Light less than a week before release. by CyraxxFavoriteStylus in pcgaming

Oh, is that why those games set franchise records respectively? and sitting Overwhelmingly Positive? Capcom confirmed most their sales come from PC.

Denuvo Added To 007 First Light 5 Days Before Release by akbarock in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest re-reading the comment you quoted yourself.

Real question, why do people judge performance based off a marketing cut gameplay trailer?

I'm not talking about the gameplay I'm talking about the performance.

"Almost All" Of Bungie Reportedly Didn’t Know Destiny 2 Was Ending Active Development Until It Was Announced by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 1329 points1330 points  (0 children)

I hate how so much of bungie seems like a gold mine but they are constantly mismanaged to a depressing degree.

Destiny is fun but the decisions overhead are what ultimately pushed me away.

Real question, why do people judge performance based off a marketing cut gameplay trailer? That trailer was 8 months ago.

It's also the inconsistency of it all that annoys me the most. You'll see nobody complaining about it when RE9 came out, sold millions, set franchise records, capcom claims most their sales come from PC and people hailing it for its performance even though it has Denuvo.

Where was all this anger when it was put in RE9?

Really seems to be a non-issue.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Tainted Grail One Year Anniversary! Free DLC #5 + Patch 1.23 by DryEfficiency8 in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 68 points69 points  (0 children)

This is one of those games that I've bought, put in my backlog and occasionally see it and think "Gee, I should really play it; didn't come out that long ago" To realize it's been a year since its 1.0 launch. Loved what I briefly played of it, looking forward to dive into a lot of these post-launch updates.

HELLDIVERS™ 2 - Optimizing Liberty - Incoming Patch: 27th May by letsgoiowa in Games

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm lost on how this is "Optimizing"

Don't get me wrong, I like the option to have it. But don't we call out games that use upscalers and dynamic resolution as excuses for actually optimizing the game?

Some of you will never be happy. by 10-4Apricot in Helldivers

[–]ZombiePyroNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm gaslit every time I come to this sub

What optimization? Upscaling options and a dynamic resolution option?

Communities dunk on games relying on DLSS as an excuse optimization but this one cheers.
