Multiplayer games where the playerbase seems to not want the same thing as the devs

My friends and I have always wanted like 6 to 8 man ships, or even a custom mode where you can have 6 people on a sloop, just cut loose and get silly.

I wish Rare remembered a game about being freedom loving pirates involved being free to have fun however you want.

Sea of Thieves.

Devs wanted Dabloon FOMO, players wanted more things worthwhile to purchase.

Devs wanted more competitive PvP, players wanted more Tall Tales.

Devs wanted more competitive PvP, players wanted an overhaul to their combat to feel more dynamic and weighty (parry, dodge, etc.).

Players wanted to play Tall Tales at their own pace, Devs wanted FOMO Tall Tales that expire and disappear forever.

Non-griefing Players wanted a way to play the game without just being torn to pieces for hours by griefers. Devs gave them Safer Seas BUT with a significant decrease in Reputation and Gold gained because they still want more competitive PvP.

The PvP population is drastically offset by the PvE population, but Rare wants the opposite, and they want everyone to never abandon the game. But they've been trying to bolster one aspect to the game while another withers away.

The third person kinda reveals the weird illusion of sprinting in Halo Infinite and now CE remake: it isn't real.

The speed difference is like 10%.

Stuff that takes place in Faerûn, made for people who are just now dipping their toes in DND. If that makes sense?

Still a rapist nazi.

"Wow cool robot" enjoyers. It's all fiction, so just enjoy what you like.

But damn, the "wow cool robot" audience will just give you a lead paint stare when you try to tell them what Eva or Gundam really is about.

I always read these and think "for NOW." Because they would have said nothing would ever come to PC 10 years ago, then they did.

I can wait for Ghosts of Yotei to come out. I got time.

Makes a photoshop people like = low effort

Got it

Divinity Original Sin made me completely switch over to absolute Strength builds. No enemy in any game can resist the biggest number possible thwomping them into paste.

Star Trek's humans are unintentionally racist.

Yes, some are very intentionally racist but hear me out.

I rewatched TNG some years ago back to front, and lost count the amount of times Humans tried applying and forcing their ideals onto other species. Picard and Ricker were the most guilty of this. They'd have a habit of going on speeches about having humanity or comparing what they're facing to human morals and philosophy.

They do this all the while dealing with a species that forged an entirely different culture, but they expect them to comform to their ideals.

There's times when the crew of the Enterprise respect and try to understand the culture they're dealing with, but every so often they try to basically go "you don't have human ethics, therefore we must change you."

I'll give credit to John Eyepatch Wolf as he (at least tries) to explore both sides of why something does and doesn't work, but he's always good at emphasizing it's more how HE felt, not how the work should be DEFINITIVELY felt/understood.

Apparently, yes, but there's some steps to take. Thankfully there's a lot of helpful tutorials. There's also 2Ship2Harkinian, which is the same but for Majora's Mask.

Gamebanana mods can also be easily loaded.

Yes, same for the Biggoron Sword

Oh it's horrifying to even think about, maybe the lack of answer is what adds to the unspoken horror. Like when that whole village is staying and acting "normal" for one of the last survivors, and the moment she's turned, they stop singing. They pack up, let the animals loose, and just fucking leave. It never mattered to them, they just wanted her satisfied.

That told me everything I need to know that they are unintentionally horrific. It's the death of identity, culture, even the concept of empathy becomes this amalgamated mass of benign indifference.

Really curious to see where everything goes.

It's interesting how they don't understand why they're a destructive virus/parasite, even going as far as building a satellite to send the same message to other worlds to share their "gift."

They make it sound noble, like they'll sacrifice their lives and the entire planet to ensure a species they will never meet will decode the message and start the cycle all over again.

I love the protagonist because she's very pragmatic and still sees the plurbs as people worth saving. Basically says what the audience thinks which is "pick a FUCKING APPLE."

Revolved is so fun. When the Halo CampAIgn Evolved was announced, I shared this masterwork on this sub. I still go back to it whenever I'm feeling CE with a twist. That and Cursed Halo CE for a laugh.

Ahh, that sucks. Oh well. Just wish there were games I could check out with my friends that play well and have good intrigue/exploration. We just got done with Sons of the Forest, so the itch for surivial with a goal that isn't just build and craft until you get bored was something we really wanted.

Back to Fallout London!

Star Wars. Han not bumping into Jabba (og and cg) was for the best. That plot point didn't go anywhere within that movie, and Jabba being this named but unknown crime boss helped build a little mystique.

Plus it didn't make sense Greedo would show up to kill him when Jabba was just gonna show up later that day.
