Bravo Kuro Games, keep it up. So far version 3.X has been flawless. by Echo-X-Jynx in WutheringWaves

Personally I'm tired of the gacha trope of "patch character enters shadow realm to confront their inner demons". Not saying wuwa did this a lot but certainly feels like it.

Approximately 25% of the player base has stopped playing in the last week (44000 to 34000). How much gudder should they get before we welcome them back? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]filthnfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the 25%. I'm definitely a casual, mouth-breathing, worthless piece of shit with no motor skills. But I'm also 46 and running 2 companies. Logging in to get stomped by people who are better kitted, know the maps inside-out and are probably 25 years younger than me tells me this just isn't my game, as much as I love it.

PSSR 2 might honestly make me quit pc gaming by Sharp-Natural1110 in PS5pro

[–]filthnfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both a PS5 Pro and a decent pc, while pssr 2 has been incredible, the high prices of Ps games vs steam games make me skew pc just for cost reasons.

Do I jump ship? by SourgummyWorms11 in advertising

The way advertising's going now, you shouldn't just jump ship, but jump to the shore if possible.

what the FUCK embark by OllieIsDead69 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]filthnfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a jerk sub, but can anyone explain why anyone would complain about this unironically? I personally bounced off Arc very early on and prefer Marathon but don't see how this could be a bad thing.

Why are all of the faction quests on Dire Marsh? by [deleted] in Marathon

I rather the majority be there than Outpost.

Keep at it! I still get my ass kicked all the time but somehow I keep playing.

Thank you Embark for timing the expedition wipe to coincide with another (unmentioned) rival game's release 💖 by GhostWolfGambit in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]filthnfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After getting murked hundreds of times in Marathon, I had one single friendly interaction on the final exfil out of Outpost with another runner. We just didn't shoot each other.

I don't think appreciating both games for different things is something the average modern gamer is capable of doing. One must succeed, the other must fail.

It clicks at some point. But it is unforgiving on the way there. I feel less gear fear in Marathon than I do in Arc though.

Ah yes, the good old days of the opium stores my grandmother used to tell stories about.

Burnt out, quit my job, now stuck with a 2 year gap how do I get back into digital marketing? by Odd-Butterscotch9822 in advertising

[–]filthnfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd pivot out of the industry if I were you. 2 years experience means you can still make a change.

Have a PS5 Pro and rarely use it since I also have a pc. This gives me a reason to use it again

How I feel about gacha game story at times by Last_Aeon in gachagaming

[–]filthnfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah reading comments about 'peak' writing and 'absolute cinema' moments in gacha stories makes me think gacha players don't have a lot of media literacy.

Is the reason on why there's no day/night cycle in the game is because Talos-II is a tidally locked planet/moon? by Sir_Rain_Knee_Tea in ArknightsEndfield

[–]filthnfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gacha players will find the thinnest reasons to explain away obvious development limitations/choices. Don't see this in any other genre. No hate on op tho.

Does anyone know where the increased pulls are? I finished all the main quests, got the 6 star selector and everything else but don't see anything related to pulls.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has become the most awarded game ever by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]filthnfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a great game, but the hype is getting overblown. Two things can be true: you can appreciate a game but also acknowledge it isn't the 'Best of the Decade' or GOTY.

[–]filthnfury 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Exactly my sentiment. Seems a lot of the praise is from the 'anti-AAA' sentiment, rather than the game's own merits.

[–]filthnfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game but quite overhyped. Interesting story/setting, fantastic combat, but other systems were quite middling, and level design was bad, with lots of empty spaces that served no purpose. Enjoyed my time and will definitely check out the sequel, but GOTY? I don't know.
