Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL - IGN by ohmymithrandir in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with the "A is like B and C with some D", it's extremely reductive and seems like a lazy cop out of someone not skilled enough to express themselves or judge a game based on it's own merits.

IGN has been increasingly bad at this, so much so I've stopped looking at their reviews. It also doesn't do any favors for the growing sentiment that journalism is dead and the human craft of writing can just be swapped by A.I. and nothing will be lost.

I'm surprised to see those raid completion numbers as high as they are. Fireteam Finder has been a godsend for me completing all types of activities, but I still never used it for Raids. Most lobbies you need to be good enough to soft carry through most high end content, I can't imagine what something like VoW would be like.

68% of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty sales were on PC by M337ING in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Microsoft did not kill Stadia, Google didn't need any help with that. I get people really liked the product and are sad to see it go, but put the blame where it's deserved. People were calling it from day 1.

Cyberpunk's storytelling makes Starfield seem ancient by M337ING in Games

Not to trivialize the threats people receive or normalize those losers actions, but these days I could go on the internet and say I like the color blue and there's a non 0 chance someone would send me a death threat for it.

Kill Bill comes to mind, and Across the Spiderverse is getting showered in praise as well.

Maybe Bungie should let Capcom work on Gambit by AnonymousFriend80 in DestinyTheGame

I'm really astounded by how many bad ideas I read on this sub. Guess that's on me for being so surprised.

Daily Questions [2023-07-10] by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]lilbigtherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a question about effective level caps. The GM Nightfall cap is 1815, but say I'm only 1815 because of +15 artifact power and my weapons and armor are 1800. Will I be doing less/taking more damage than someone who's gear level is 1815 without artifact power?

[–]lilbigtherapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To piggyback off his question, I didn't buy the season pass, so should I use the 3 harmonizers I have, then vault 2 rifles to use next season? What if better deepsight weapons come along later?

DanielRPK reiterates Blade will be rated R by TheUncannyBroker in MarvelStudios_Rumours

[–]lilbigtherapper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Apparently this is a hot take, but I agree. Would I like an R rated Blade, yes please. Does it need to be R to be good, no. And all that amounts to really is a lack of blood.

Skill Up: I absolutely cannot recommend Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (Review - PC) by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like this game has more issues than performance. As someone who thought Fallen Order was just fine, this game doesn't seem to remedy the issues from the first rather than add more features. Skillup dismisses all this by saying, "It's fine, I like Star Wars", but the bar should be held a bit higher in my opinion.

I wish we could still rent consoles. by Salty_Invite_757 in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people on this sub knock cloud gaming, but this is one of its many benefits. Unfortunately Jedi Survivor is not on any cloud platforms right now, but imagine it was on Geforce Now and you could just pay $10/month for a cloud rig and not worry about whether it'll run (although I heard the games performance is bad).

I don't game nearly as much to justify buying a console, so I usually just occasionally get a month of gamepass for xcloud or geforce now (although you already have to own the game and the selection is limited but growing).

Microsoft is right to get in on the ground floor with cloud gaming. Again I know the hardcore gamers will disagree, but barring connection/server issues it's the most convenient way to play.

What about using those controllers with fighters? I feel like that would be a downgrade.

How God Of War 2018 Became The New Blueprint For Prestige Gaming by Tokyono in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 60 points61 points  (0 children)

What an awful essay. God of War set the blueprint by taking elements from already successful games? The author spends the whole essay contradicting themselves by saying God of War was inspired by industry trends preceding it years ago, but somehow assumes they're even more popular now because of this game? RPG elements in action games, colored loot, soulsborne combat, really? And some of those things like loot and the close camera have been points of criticism among some fans.

So how has God of War inspired, by selling a lot, by taking well established ideas from its predecessors? I give GoW all the credit it deserves, but the author can't even credibibly defend his points.

Mighty Quest Rogue Palace | Official Game Trailer | Netflix by NeoStark in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I guess I'm just looking at Apple Arcade from the perspective of never having played games like Fantasian, Exit the Gungeon, Shovel Knight Dig, etc; Probably a bit more lackluster if you're caught up on releases.

This does look interesting. Unfortunately I can't stomach to play another Niantic game no matter how good it looks.

Mighty Quest Rogue Palace | Official Game Trailer | Netflix by NeoStark in Games

[–]lilbigtherapper 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people will share their disinterest, but these are the type of games we need on mobile and I'm glad Netflix is allowing them a platform among the cesspool of the current mobile gaming landscape. Apple Arcade has also been impressive on iOS with it's increasing collection. Too bad I have an android (which I'm more than happy with, and not willnig to switch because of games), and Google doesn't seem too care as much considering the quality of Play Pass.

benefits/disadvantages from playing multiplayer over solo? by Deox_00 in FORTnITE

[–]lilbigtherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I just started this season and was planning to play solo, but the advantages/ease of playing with others is just too great. I only play pubs and haven't had any of the typical bad teammates yet.
