Yeah man … I stopped playing Marvel Rivals due to the toxicity. League was a shit show of course.

as soon as he’s not in control, there will be fuckery

This is what I don’t think a lot of people will be prepared for …

I dread if there’s gonna some useless MBA coming around afterwards and saying some shit like: “why don’t we charge steam users $9.99 to play their games per month?” and start cutting projects that benefit gamers to “save money” – who needs Proton? who needs to invest in things like couch co-op? Then give themselves a shitload of money in exchange for all the goodwill that Valve have built up over the years.

Welcome to the Fediverse! :D

I joke, but I’ve made the same mistake too.

Without hard numbers it’s all speculation either way.

Your spoiler doesn’t work on Connect for Lemmy.

I remember meeting someone at an event that told me how great it was.

His argument was, “can you even tell it’s AI?”

I said my biggest problem is that it’s destroying new artists and original music.

“hey now! there’s no need to get personal …”

to show those people with difficulties standing who the real bosses are

I wanted to be a game developer for as long as I could remember. I remember passing out on the carpet floor because I needed a quick nap inbetween coding sessions when I was 15.

I went through uni for comp sci and graduated and got a few offers. All the gaming companies (some really big names) I got offers with paid half as much as the others. I decided my dream wasn’t worth it, it’s weird.

Wait, co-op RPG? Split-Screen Co-op?

I’ll buy it!

I mean, I’ll need to find a friend but I’ll think about that later.

I don’t know, I’ve had friends that hate turned-based games and refuse to play any anime based games and just adored this game so much that I couldn’t get them to talk about anything else for months.

I used to love turn-based RPGs but I kinda fell out of love with them over the years … I’m gonna say around FFX. I actually enjoyed Expedition 33 less than these guys that typically play CoD and Factorio.

Not yet. Although some people say it’ll be close to the price of an Index although it’s still all speculation.

I’m reminded of an old Simpsons episode: https://youtu.be/UUc9Ojfxq3E?t=106

Bart: “How much do those yoyos cost?”

Milhouse: “I don’t care”

That’s kind of how I feel about this.

Everyone I’ve recommended CO to and took me up on it – loved it. But I have other friends that have heard me talk about the game and I just “know” it’s not for them and if they play, they’ll be ranting about the mechanisms and other things.

For me, it made me wish I was French :P I love the aesthetic, story, and characters for sure. It’s different than FF to me because it seemed like FF got embarrassed by its turn-based gameplay over time and it feels like CO embraced it fully.

Also, I heard the fanbase can be rather toxic as well. Once again, that sometimes happens with more popular games too. I was watching a few streamers that said they’d want to put it as their GOTY but some fans were just doing a lot of bullying. After playing the game, I understand their passion for it … but it can sour other people’s expectations and experiences for sure.

Is it any surprise? Any game that’s more popular gets a lot more contrarians.

I’m expecting to pay around what the Index costs. I can get a Quest for quite a lot less but I’m refusing all of that Meta business.

I feel the same … I don’t have the same amount of hours to put into a game like this.

Mark Kermode is a film critic that I absolutely adore.

He had the Kermode Awards every year (he’s quite self-deprecating about it) … the winners for his awards are ones that cannot be nominated by the Academy Awards.

It’s normally to highlight the missing actors/actresses/movies that he’s enjoyed over the year. Feels like something like that would be cool too.

I feel as though games need more categories. Even best VR game seems limiting to me because I don’t care for horror so I’ll never look into that game either.

Best metroidvania, Best rogueli[k|t]e, Best puzzle game, Best Turn-Based RPG, Best Soulslike Game (I’m assuming that’s what “best game you suck at” is), Best Rhythm game, Best Couch Co-op Game, Best FPS, etc

Obviously there can be flaws with my examples but there are just so many different types of games out there. It just feels limiting to have what we have.

I bought Arc Raiders and I was like, “oh it’s just an extraction shooter”

I was very surprised it won. I think people like their game and just want it to win something.
