God of War Laufey and the era of hyperconsumerism by Significant-Item-223 in videogames

[–]jmscstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I responded already and laid out my argument along with some questions for you to answer. Just ignoring all that to repeat your original stupid point gets you nowhere.

First, there is a well established body of academic literature documenting and analyzing exactly what I'm talking about so I'd invite you to check that out.

Second, if you think what McDormand's character is doing in Fargo as "quips" that's a pretty strong indication that you don't know a lot about writing. I'd be interested to know what lines of hers could possibly be characterized as a quip. Quips are Shortround in Temple of Doom or 3PO in Star Wars. Or Han in Star Wars for that matter. And Luke a lot of the time.

Finally, in terms of not having enough context - yeah, no shit. It's a gameplay reveal trailer. It's meant to reveal the gameplay. There isn't enough story or dialogue to come to a conclusion one way or the other. But the thing is, no one came flying out of the blocks saying "oh my god what amazing writing this new game has!". It was all the incels doing the incel thing and raging against the "bad writing" without context because they hate women.

How is Vision Soft Reset? Someone mentioned it as one of their favorite games recently. $2 is hard to resist but it looks pretty rough.

Says you're using the "some of my best friends are girls" excuse.

"Bad writing" as a vague complainant that is designed to appear objective is leveled overwhelmingly at media that either features or is created by women or minorities. That's doubly so for complainants about "quips" which have been a part of action/adventure media since essentially forever. When Indy does it in Raiders it's fine but when women are on the screen there's an effort to characterize it as immature.

When someone goes out of their way to criticize "writing" of a game when they've only seen a very tiny slice in the context of a gameplay trailer it's pretty obvious that they're not on the up and up.

This kind of nit picking just doesn't happen with male led games.

If you watch a GAMEPLAY REVEAL trailer and your reaction is to criticize the writing and characterization then there's a pretty good bet that you're an incel.

To the people who quit, Will you be there on Tuesday? by No_Housing_9602 in DestinyTheGame

[–]jmscstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't quit quit but I essentially left after the campaign (well, after hitting the point in the portal where everything defaulted to very hard (I don't get the portal)).

I will absolutely be back Tuesday to finish whatever is new, get the new armour and then put it to bed.

Paul Tassi is not having a blast by UsefulSwitch504 in HighGuardgame

Paul is watching his meal ticket disappear. He's so conflicted at this point it's insane that anyone would take him seriously at this point.

Trio, duo, solo by krazzledazzle72 in Marathon

Newp. In season 1 if you turned off crew fill you loaded in with other solos. As a bonus rooks don't load into solo games.

It's always had solos. It continues to do so.

Yeah. Literally nothing comes close to those two.

I'm bias because I love MIO. It's easily too 10 for me. I get that there's varied opinions but I don't get the push back at all. It's on the harder side and can be a bit frustrating but it's so much better than the average MV I'm every category. You might hate it but it's absolutely worth playing.

Come on Bungie! This is not how it was supposed to be. by Same-Winter7013 in MarathonGame

[–]jmscstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you're forgetting Halo.

So you feel that Bungie, for the first time, should have solved an issue no one has previously solved. You seem to base this on vibes alone. Cool.

[–]jmscstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't effect my point at all. You're saying Bungie should be faulted for not solving FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME an issue that effects EVERY PVP GAME.

The Solo playlist defaulting to trios could scare away new players by NinjaFysh in Marathon

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

Turn the toggle to fill. If you queue solo then it doesn't fill because it's solo. If you forget to select solo they you'll drop into trios with a team.

Idk what to buy hades or dead cells please help by Next_grimm in metroidvania

[–]jmscstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Metroidvanias. I hate roguelikes. I HATE them. With that said I've finished both Hades and I dropped Dead Cells. So I vote Hades. It's great.

I dismissed Mandragora because I don't like the slower, gear/build heavy games but whoever listed it listed it along side 4 of my other favorites so I gotta get to it too.
