I love it when games have you really weak in the beginning to the point of running away from certain enemies, and then later you return to that area after many level ups, and the AI is programmed to be afraid of you and run, or just not get aggroed on you. So precious few games that actually do that tho.
Yeah, I mentioned that to another person, Steam Next Fest was great this year, I got to try out a bunch of awesome games. But like if we're talking triple A, or even just games on consoles demos are just a resource sink for a lot of these companies and don't exist. When there's a demo there's usually a lot of marketing push behind it.
That's not a demo, that's a return policy. Plus, in most cases you don't get a good feel of a game in the first 2 hours of the game. A demo is a snippet of the game made specifically to let people get accustomed to most of the mechanics in a game, something that isn't usually present in the first two hours.
You could've easily said Steam Next Fest and I would've agreed with you. Indie devs are the only ones who seem to care about their players these days.
I miss the age of videogame demos, it feels like nothing but a distant memory now. And the only reason companies let people play their broken betas now is to gauge excitement for their games and fix any serious game breaking bugs.
I posted a comment on Reddit talking about how disappointed I am hearing that the AC set in Japan is going to be made by the Valhalla people and I got destroyed for it. Like I wanted Japan since brotherhood and now I get this? I don't like the newer games because they just don't respect your time and that's a bummer for me.
I'm currently going through Little Nightmares for the first time. I'm having a lot of fun! It's short and sweet, and if you enjoy good atmospheric tension and not just jump scare city, then try it out!
mad that their entertainment driven by free labor was interrupted
Exactly, my point. These people have such a shallow view point that they can't stand to have their content interrupted for a few weeks to fight for better online rights. That's why your platform is currently a burning garbage fire. Enjoy your "potty time" now.
Honestly I imagine a lot of the people fighting against the protests were people paid for by reddit admins to try and sow discourse amongst users. Well, I wonder how that went for them considering the drop in content, and the rising migrations to Lemmy. It sucks because in losing Reddit - the information super highway that it has become - we as a species lose a lot of important information, and a lot of niche questions that wouldn't be answered otherwise. But that doesn't mean we can't ask them again here on Lemmy. đ
The Witcher subreddit mods put up a poll about whether or not they should extend their protest (Every post from the start of the protest had been about The Hexer an old poor adaptation of the witcher). I commented that I supported the continued protests, because charging exorbitant prices is unfair to moderators that do what they do for free, and unfair to the 3rd party app developers who gain no income from developing their apps. Someone came at me with this argument;
buddy i work 48 hours a fucking week iâm just trying to enjoy and discuss things about fandoms i enjoy while iâm taking a shit. i could care less about these protests, all itâs doing is fucking up my potty time
Like, from a self-centered point of view, how dense do you have to be to not understand that moderators not having access to their tools is going to "fuck up your potty time".
well I called him;
Self centered, selfish and uncaring.
I mean seriously, have some common decency to fight for the platform you browse daily. I just don't get some people, really. Well regardless, Lemmy has been a much better place, though I can't imagine that'll last forever.
I tend to enjoy a variety of games particularly those that respect my time. At the top are character action games like Bayonetta and Nier. Monster Hunter games. Then big relaxing open-world exploratory games like BoTW, TotK, Elden Ring. Immersive RPGs like Cyberpunk and Skyrim. Third person cinematic games like TLoU, or the new GoW. Exceptional indie games like Hades, Terraria, and Roboquest. Then, fighting games like SF6, Third Strike, GG Strive, Killer Instinct or MK9. Cooperative, competitive shooters with my friends like Siege. and then from time to time I f2p on gacha games like Azur Lane and Nikke, but I tend to drop those pretty quick. There was also time in my life where I spent too many hours with friends on GTA Online as well. Sorted most to least in terms of how often I actually play that type of game. However, a little more than half of my free time is usually spent watching other people let's play games, like right now, I'm writing this and watching Chris Odd play Aliens Dark Descent. đ
Just so long as they stop going after emulation software, and pirates hosting old games that are not being sold anymore then I'm fine with it. Otherwise, big publishing companies and I have a problem.
The Nier games are really good for this, I love when it goes from over the shoulder character action game to isometric dungeon crawler and then to bullet hell shooter. I love the Nier games so much. â¤ď¸
