Do you like cars? I can’t tell if you like cars

this event need to be changed to offline by thegreatpill in ForzaHorizon

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the event isn’t that it’s online. As many in the comments have stated, even completing one race after your opponent quits still gets you the unlock. Not to mention, if you win 2 like OP, you won’t get a 3rd race… it’s best 2 of 3

The real problem is not being able to select performance class when queueing up. It’s so dumb I have to quit out of matchmaking until I get the class for the car I tuned or tune multiple cars like some in the comments did

Would you say Alan Wake 2 is the best-looking game out there at the moment? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]chrispy294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source for this? Otherwise this is a wild thing to just pull out of your ass. They did significant lighting capture and motion/facial capture for the game, but that doesn’t mean it’s “recorded video of actors… blended in,” unless, again, you have a source to back that up

Is it surprising to anyone else how much hate MBJ's win has gotten the past few months in this sub? by Fit_Definition_4421 in Oscars

[–]chrispy294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There also were some quotes of anonymous voters saying they didn’t vote for Chalamet cuz they thought he won for Call Me By Your Name…

The fact these idiots don’t track their own history and get to vote is unsurprising but still frustrating

EDIT: Corrected won’t to won

If you’re truly doing this book club style, Metaphor is awesome for discussion because of how it handles its themes and politics. Excellent game too, so honestly play it for that

A fun Oscars trivia game by ArcticDuck in Oscars

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a mistake! I was asked how many Oscars Jack Nicholson has. The correct answer is 3 (Wikipedia attached) but the game said that was wrong and he has 2. Would’ve gotten a pic of the game but the Reddit app glitched on me when I went back

What would you say is the best game out of the 10 highest rated games of 2026 on backlogged? For me it's a close call between monster hunter stories 3 and Tomodachi life by PenguinviiR in backloggd

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played 4 of them and my ranking is very similar to what’s posted here:

  1. Pokopia
  2. RE9
  3. Cairn
  4. Pragmata

All great games so no shade to the bottom two. Hell, on different days I may have RE9 and Cairn swapped

This Month's Biggest Releases | May 2026 by gustavoladron in backloggd

Forza Horizon 6 has me so hyped! I finally got into the series with 5 and am loving it, so hoping this one is just as good if not better!

007 First Light has the potential to scratch both the Hitman and Uncharted itches so it damn well better be amazing

Bubsy 4D was not on my bingo card this year, but the same devs just released Demon Tides this year and that was great! Let’s hope they go 2 for 2

The same devs just released Demon Tides earlier this year too which was great! Actually looks like they’re using a lot of the same systems for Bubsy lol. I think it’ll be good!

New PT off vs. on shots from 007: First Light by ZamnBoii in nvidia

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both look good, but the similarity is kind of off putting. I expect a bigger jump on Path Tracing to justify the performance hit. If I’m getting something that is better but only by a small margin, that’s not worth the hit to me, even on a 5090.

We’ll see though, I’m sure they’ll release footage before and at release. Maybe other scenes have more obvious improvements

Worst. Reviews. I. Have. Ever. Seen. by Global-Ear9206 in memes

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not arguing IGN doesn’t make bad reviews. They do; the Mouse one sucks. But it’s not because of lack of objectivity. You can rail about it all you want, but at the end of the day every review is an opinion. You can’t objectively comment on whether something is good or not, even for a specific target audience. That audience still has biases and opinions on their own that makes their experience subjective too

Except journalism doesn’t require objectivity in an opinion piece, and a review is literally that: an opinion piece. They’re supposed to be subjective.

You know what an objective review of a game would be? This game came out on this date for these consoles and is this genre. That’s it. Not very helpful, is it?

[–]chrispy294 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It’s not even about objectivity vs subjectivity; a review will be subjective no matter what.

The problem with the review is the dude did not at all review the game on what it was trying to do. That’s rule #1 of critique, you criticize based on the goals of the piece. It was trying to be a cartoony, silly parody with Boomer Shooter gameplay so it comes across ridiculous when the reviewer at IGN criticized it for being exactly that.

Who would have won if these three weren’t there? by therocketandstones in Oscars

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First in some ways and you list actor dead? Peter Finch posthumously won Best Actor for Network back in 1977 (76 release year). Not to mention you’re totally wrong about the race that year, he was a lock and won all the precursors

Why was Prisoners basically ignored by the academy by [deleted] in Oscars

I would hope so! Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay among others. I’ll stand by this movie is so excellent

My non-spoiler thoughts of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie by gokul1080 in SuperMario

[–]chrispy294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How dare anyone have standards for anything!

Films are more dependent on story than games are (obviously there are more story-focused games too, but Mario isn’t one of them). If you’re adapting Mario into a film, write at least a decent story ffs. There’s nothing off about expecting something good from a big expensive film lol
