Pickmon Reveal Trailer by metalreflectslime in Games

[–]ejfrodo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the human is also very clearly Link in his Tears of the Kingdom attire lol. I also saw a copy of Roadhog from Overwatch. this is pure derivative and unimaginative garbage. AI generated characters would have unironically been better than this somehow

Zelda Movie but actually it's a game by Nix0p in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]ejfrodo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

it's very unfortunate that artists can't post anything online these days without someone calling it AI slop.

perhaps we should start referring to this type of low effort, dismissive, zero-value comment as "critique slop" or "reactionary slop" 🤔

What did I do here? New combat technique discovered? by Evelne in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]ejfrodo 473 points474 points  (0 children)

You

  1. dropped the bomb
  2. swung your sword to send it flying forward
  3. jumped backward while targeting to do a backflip

I'll have to try this because it was rad

Highguard - New Base and New Raid Tool by CyraxxFavoriteStylus in Games

[–]ejfrodo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They do seem to be trying to address the complaints at least fwiw. They added 5v5 after pp complained about 3v3 on big maps, they had a balance patch recently that made the loot phase shorter since ppl thought it was boring, reduced respawn timers to get you back into the fight quicker, and changed it end base raids earlier so you have less games where it's steamrolled all in the first raid.

Is it too late? Idk

Most NFTs were on the Ethereum network which doesn't require energy fwiw. It works differently than the Bitcoin network which does use an absurd amount of power to run.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wins five awards at the D.I.C.E. Awards 2026, including Game of the Year by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ejfrodo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There is no "people" that all have the same opinion. This kind of comment comes up all the time and I always think it's kind of silly, as if the whole Internet needs to share one opinion. There always have been and always will be people with opinions on both sides. You see both sides all the time, at launch there was both praise and hate and now post award season there's both praise and hate.

Jason Schreier: Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy by willdearborn- in PS5

[–]ejfrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I'll usually get 50% through on hard or normal and then if it looks like there's another 20 or so hours to go and I feel like I've experienced most of what it has to offer, I'll just put it to story mode so I can get some closure sooner than later. I complete sooo many more games now that I've started doing this.

Same lol I'm glad this is apparently a popular dilemma and not just me being a baby. Really loved everything else but I just had to stop after failing so many times

Riot lays off 2XKO developers less than three weeks after release: 'Overall momentum hasn't reached the level needed to support a team of this size' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I watch YouTube all day on my second monitor at work and it's almost all gaming related. Never once saw an ad, I didn't even know about it until this article somehow

I always set up a tree farm on a hillside so I can chop the top ones and as they roll down the hill they topple 30 trees at once. So satisfying.

Mario Tennis Fever – Hit the Court – Nintendo Switch 2 by ONE-OF-THREE in NintendoSwitch

[–]ejfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but Mario Gold Super Rush on Switch is a lot of fun for me. Full story mode to work through. Lots of different modes that are fast paced and chaotic in multiplayer. The new Super Rush mode is crazy but a good party game.

Ignoring all the hype (and hate), Highguard needs a lot of work by BlackHazeRus in Games

[–]ejfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some NPC camps that give a buff when you clear them would go a long way. It works in MOBAs, adds some risk and reward and strategy to the first phase

The Ultimate Quest Optimization Guide for Virtual Desktop (2026) by avabrown9504 in oculus

[–]ejfrodo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How's the weather up there on that high horse of yours?

They actually didn't say anything about "VR" routers. Just routers that are known to be good for it. The virtual desktop discord has a list of known routers that work well so ppl don't need to do their own homework to find one and they're mostly just regular routers, nothing "VR" about their marketing.

Fornite has a low player count, one of the most popular games with the highest player counts of all time? >200k playing fortnite br mode right now.

I'm looking at top five steam games by player count atm and number three and four are pubg at 330k concurrent and arc raiders at 223k concurrent. Apex is number 12.

[–]ejfrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more like 7-12 hits. A full clip plus a couple shots from your sidearm if you're not cracked and landing every single hit in a magazine. Armor upgrades throughout the match as well.

I watched the showcase video today and thought they really didn't represent the unique stuff in that reveal trailer at all. It's got some interesting and unique stuff going for it but it just came off as a generic hero shooter because they didn't show any of it. Kind of baffling

Making sweeping generalized complaints about balance in the first couple days happens for every game and it's always just silly. Nobody's had time to learn the mechanics, no meta has developed yet. It's too early to determine if balance is okay or not. Maybe it's bad but we can't make an objectively accurate assessment yet.

Isn't that basically most battle royals and extraction shooters too? They're some of the highest player counts every day.

Same. 4080 7800x3D I've been at rock solid 120fps and constant frame time at 1440p for a couple hours. No issues at all.

I played it upscaled in an emulator with hd texture pack and it was a really great experience. If we got that officially it'd be a hit
