  • It isn't bad. It can seem bad now because every AAA game is psychologically designed to give the biggest possible dopamine response to increase in-game spending. So your brain, being conditioned on such games, will think the older game is bad because it was designed to be fun but also engage your brain and make you think. Since your brain has to work for it, it subconciously thinks the tradeoff is not as good as new games.

  • Isn't one of the main founding pillars of the entire cyberpunk genre to teach the lesson that big monopolistic megacorps and an over-reliance on technology is a bad thing? Like, the story is to show how bad life would be under those circumstances, so you have technology that advances, and the law with it, but regular citizens cannot afford the new tech so they have to cobble it together themselves from the old tech they have in order to comply with the law set by the BBEG megacorp?

    How do you have a cyberpunk society without all the bad parts? Such a society would have citizens that can afford or are provided new tech and thus the cyberpunk aspect would naturally not exist, would it not?

  • For Monster Hunter specifically, as well as other similar games like God Eater and White Knight Chronicles, the appeal is literally just big number go up from grinding. If you don't like grinding, you probably aren't going to enjoy these kinds of games. They can easily feel very repetitive.

  • Nah, Lemmy users are just mean, worse than Redditors. Add in internet anonymity and you get users that just dont care about other people, even going out of their way to harass or try to fight by writing comments like they're trying to catch someone in a trap they think is clever.

    Thankfully I can block entire instances so I dont have to deal with most of them. Its just a shame, because Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit, but I am seeing more that its almost worse. The only reason I even still use Lemmy is because I don't like the Reddit mobile app. That's literally it.

    I definitely dont stay here for the users.

  • Not everyone I meet treats me the way people on Lemmy treat me. I am told I am a kind person and most people, while apathetic, are not so rude as Lemmy users. It's a great quote, but ultimately not applicable to this particular situation. Have a good day, or not, make of it however you will.

  • I will be playing Stellaris intead, lol.

    Not a fan of Fortnite and never got into CoD after World at War came out. Felt like they were less and less about the soldiers that gave their lives protecting their country, and more about being some romanticized war hero shooter. War is bad but I don't think that soldiers who fought in them should be disrespected. I just feel like the new CoD games glorify war and violence more than the older games did, and I am not about that.
