  • Man, what is it about PC gamers that lets them tolerate mediocre garbage?

    is it conditioning? Being raised playing games that are good 'in theory' over games that are good in actuality?

    I dunno, it feels like a lot of PC gamers are 'proud' to play esoteric crap. They view it as a badge of honor, for some reason.

    Glad I started recognizing these things for what they are, though. Nobody else seems to be willing to discuss it on the internet, but there are plenty of people in real life who get it immediately.

  • These companies are told by analysts that it's always better to have the players make the content for them.

    That's why PVP games are always free-to-play and co-op games "require" each player to buy their own copy (so now you have to do the companies' dirty work for them by convincing your friends to spend money.) It's all fucked, and it's all about following the money.

  • I feel like a lot of these studios are just paid to put out mediocre garbage in the hopes that it will sucker an audience that doesn't know any better.

    It really is throwing shit at the wall to see what will stick at this point.

    Glad I stopped caring about modern games.

  • I know this is going to sound weird, but if you didn't work on a game I care about or worse, worked on games that I think are bad, then I will not take your development experiences seriously.

    I'm not saying they didn't happen, just that I would be foolish to value a process that produces products I don't like. The fact that you have such strict separation between programmers and designers leads me to believe your company hires a lot of people they don't need to do jobs in a poor manner. I have very little respect for people who 'design' but can't create. I'm not saying all of them are worthless, but the vast majority of them are. I have a lot of respect for the handful of exceptional designers that actually justify their position with good ideas. Most designers I've come across are stupid meme-chasers who actively make whatever they touch worse.

    I enjoy plenty of games that were made by fully-remote teams, such as Mordhau. Did you work on anything like that?

  • I think a lot of what comes out of Japan is better than the West because they haven't given up their idea of the company man.

    Like it or not, having to switch jobs every few years is going to impact your performance.

    Most of you have no idea how much easier it is to process information when you accept that you'll be doing it the same way for decades.

  • I think the male can change if he was forced to. Every time he succeeds in womanizing a victim, he has more reasons to stay the same.

    why bother with a society that keeps prisoners at all?

    Because I don't accept something as fact just because it's upvoted on reddit. Prisons aren't just for 'rehabilitation.' They are also for keeping ne'er-do-wells away from harming others.
