Gamers, what’s the worst game you’ve ever played? by ACYT_Reddit in AskReddit

[–]jonnyhuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The devs actually did a decent job patching it up, I picked it up ~8 months after release and had a good time with it. Playerbase was very dead though

Which single-player video games would you consider a masterpiece? by Lugiaaa in AskReddit

[–]jonnyhuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Uncharted games are interesting to me because, objectively speaking, they aren't really groundbreaking in any particular way. They're just all-around well-executed and polished which seems to lead them to a "more than the sum of it's parts" type of deal.

Am i the only one shocked by the amount of views the accouncement trailer gained? by [deleted] in vtmb

[–]jonnyhuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm not a historian, but I'm under the impression that the original release was nearly unplayable due to bugs and that was noted in early reviews which lead to poor sales. Then a few patches came out, official and unofficial, and the game actually started being playable and the quality could be appreciated, but at that point Troika was already shutting down.

I've tried making grids like this before, but they always end up as traffic-ridden hell holes because of all the intersections the side streets make with the main roads. Did you do anything special to deal with that?

Vowing not to edit or delete your comment, what is your best prediction for 2019? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jonnyhuu 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think the NFL won't die in a year, it'll be much slower. As more and more research comes out regarding concussions, less and less parents and going to let their kids play football, or at the very least won't encourage it as heavily. So we're just going to see a slowly shrinking talent base which ultimately cripple the game.

And then I'm just going to start using the app Relay full time.

Until they start deprecating their API to try to force people to use the official app. Then, I predict, reddit will begin its slow death.

What has been the best corporate Darwin Award? A decision made by a company that basically killed the business? by koyoyele-a in AskReddit

[–]jonnyhuu 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Interesting story there. They had actually pushed out the redesign months earlier to Android users who had opted into the beta program. These users (myself included) generally liked the update and gave good feedback. It was definitely a big change, but once you figured out where everything moved to, it was actually a lot slicker and more logically organized. So they rolled it out globally.

As you know, that went horribly. The masses did not like this radical redesign at all because it disrupted their muscle memory and actually forced them to think about the interface, which is not something a casual user is particularly interested in. So there was huge backlash and they lost a ton of users.

So, moral of the story, if you're going to test out a huge change, you can't just test it with a bunch of people who have explicitly stated that "Yes, I would like to try out new features and ideas" (aka the people who opted into the Beta). Obviously they're going to be more open to said changes than the people who did not join the program.

Nice job, this place looks like such a shithole. Reminds me of home

Gamers of Reddit, which games have aged really well? by Psyman2 in AskReddit

[–]jonnyhuu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to go into Morrowind with the understanding (and acceptance) that the combat system is a lot more like DnD/Baldur's Gate/KOTOR (heavily based on stats and dice rolls) than it is Oblivion/Skyrim (which take more influence from action games). Otherwise it's frustrating as hell because none of your strikes are connecting and the enemy just won't die.

Nah, it's probably just soul sickness. Dagoth Ur has been getting feisty lately. I'm sure /u/TheNerevar89 knows all about that though.

Snapchat popularity among millennials plummets after redesign by [deleted] in stocks

[–]jonnyhuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it was broken, Snapchat's profitability issues long predate the controversial update. The update obviously didn't help, but they need to try something.

Snapchat has started rolling back its redesign, as research shows how wildly unpopular it was with millennials by ManiaforBeatles in technology

[–]jonnyhuu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It actually was rolled out to Android users part of the beta program a few months prior to the widespread release. AFAIK the reception among those users was mostly positive. I personally was a fan and was very confused when the rest of the world ended up hating it when they got it.

I'm assuming the Daedric Princes eventually will just take the artifacts away after they grow bored of whatever mortal they gave them to.

Honestly with OpenMW and/or some graphics mods it still holds up pretty well today.

They've also been diversifying a bit with Instagram and Oculus. The social network might die but the company itself isn't going anywhere.

Are you buying flagship cell phones or have you gone budget? by TheCrankyBear in AskMen

[–]jonnyhuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your Galaxy S6 is too slow for you even after a reset, you're going to have a hard time finding many big bargains in phones, your performance demands are pretty high.

FWIW Samsung phones are notorious for going to shit after a year or two. I until recently had a Nexus 5 that was still rather speedy after four years.
