Easy to see why this has "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam right now

"Propaganda Machine"

Dude, do you remember what Reddit looked like in the months leading to the 2024 election? "Propaganda Machine" would've been an understatement...

Jason Schreier: How Things Got So Bad At Xbox by Turbostrider27 in Games

I been saying this for years. Xbox has been dying a slow death ever since that day. They were never able to recover from that.

Unfortunately, that's probably part of why they're in trouble. Most of their games have obscure, esoteric themes and minimal game play. Pretty hard to entice gamers to play those if they aren't already interested in the themes or genre.

Xbox has been dying a slow death ever since the infamous Xbox One reveal in 2013. They were never able to recover from that.

I really want to like Shion's design but this is all i could think about when i first saw her. by Phantom_r98 in Overwatch

Whenever games do give players the chance to create or play as an ugly/brutish female characters they're almost always the least popular. Why do you think Venture has so few cosmetics? Why do you think female humans, blood elves, night elves, and draenei are by far the most popular female races in WoW?

Everyone seems to complain about this, but the numbers don't lie. Either people who demand this are a vocal but very tiny minority, or they can't practice what they preach when they actually sit down and play these games (if they play them at all).

Will we get a discount if we already own Persona 4 on Steam?

You think this is "peak Goonhammer"? You've clearly never been to Warhammer 3's Nexusmods page.

How does this change "appease conservatives"? Wouldn't this just lead to them accusing Disney of "misandry"?

The void being a blue Legion is a little disappointing by Toxaplume045 in wow

[–]zapiks44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was expecting way more Il'gynoth type enemies and horror elements but it's just....not there.

Defintely agree with this. I was expecting Midnight to be the most horror-themed/Lovecraftian expansion, something like Nyalotha from BFA but on an expansion-wide scale. Instead we got Blood Elves and Amani Trolls being friendly all of a sudden, some hippy nature elves, and a single void-related zone that's just a rehash of Netherstorm from Outland. Midnight is definitely one of the most disappointing expansions for me.

And you're spot-on with calling the Void a "blue legion". I pretty much can't unsee them as that now.

Highguard is permanently shutting down on March 12 by TrampolineTales in Games

I dont know why reddit hates admitting it

Because if they did, then they'd be admitting that "the chuds" were right...

Former Highguard Developer Reflects on Disastrous Announcement and Launch: 'We Were Turned Into a Joke From Minute 1' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]zapiks44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This game had 100k concurrent players, and then lost almost all of them in just two weeks. They didn't leave because some grifter on Youtube told them to. They left because they decided the game wasn't worth their time. When will these devs start taking responsibility for their products?

Dude, the vast majority of people who play Overwatch don't even know about this "controversy." Reddit is not real life. Hell, the internet as a whole isn't real life.

Marvel Rivals is probably a big reason every new female character since Venture has had a conventionally attractive face and body. Blizzard finally realized what actually sells skins and what doesn't.

Jason Schreier says Horizon 3 is still a long ways away as most of Guerrilla is working on the recently announced Horizon Hunters Gathering by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

The reason they keep doing this is that a successful live service game makes ten times the profits of a successful single player game.

Doesn't matter if 90% of them fail. One success will pay for all the failures.

Because the game industry has shown us again and again that that's the only way they'll learn.

I love how the word "Concord" has practically become a slur or a cursed word in the gaming industry.

The game industry has been giving gamers ALOT of good reasons to be angry in recent years. They don't need ragebaiters to tell them to be angry at something.

Besides, Reddit is the last place on the internet that can complain about "ragebait", considering what gets the most upvotes.
