    Dont: get me started in dating apps... I could make a list a mile long. Some of the big ones though: Every photo taken from an angle that only seems possible via drone. Every photo is a selfie and/or has a snapchat filter. Gives one word replies, here is one of my all time favorites:

    My collector's edition arrived on Saturday, I dont even want to open it because the box is incredible. I know @Bacon is disappointed in me but this and TotK are the only CE's I've ever bought. My 2 favorite series, had to do it.

    This needs to be standard in all story-driven games moving forward.

    Atheists are prudes, everyone knows agnostics are the freaks. They get off on the idea that there MIGHT be somebody watching 👀

    Smells like onions.

    I love you.

    Do you like Marvel movies? Because to me those are essentially Michael Bay movies with hotter actors and slightly less braindead writers.
  9. thedarkstark
    I dont care about somebody else's score/opinion but if they can't appreciate certain aspects of a game (or any piece of art) then they shouldn't be reviewing it professionally. Like I think Michael Bay movies are mostly shit (just not my cup of tea) but I can appreciate and acknowledge the detail that goes into action sequences, I'd never give them a 1 star review because that's incredibly disingenuous or just downright ignorant. There's no "minimum score" but if you want your opinion to be taken seriously you have acknowledge things it does well even if you personally dont care for them.

    I dont care what score it gets, but metacritic platforms and boosts the most negative reviews. They're feeding them clicks, that's the part that rubs me the wrong way. Just in general clickbait bullshit is rewarded far too often nowadays. I pointed to TotK as an example also because obviously we've all played it already. Maybe it isnt intentionally clickbaity a lot of writers arent "gamers" they just take a writing job to pad their resume, but that sucks just as much. Your skyrim take is crazy. I think Bethesda is a mostly shit company.I think starfield looks like fallout in space, but skyrim is one hell of a game.

    Metacritic should really purge some of these smaller obviously clickbaity sites from their database. It's fine to not personally enjoy a game but if you're giving this and Tears of the Kingdom a 6/10... you are either in the wrong field or are very transparently trying to drum up controversy to generate ad revenue.

    So I finally beat the Eikonic Battle part of the demo, I was already a 9.9/10 hype but hot damn it feels so good. Only thing I'm not loving is the cooldown on on Eikon abilities, it interrupts the flow a bit and it's tough to keep track of when each ability is off cooldown, but maybe it's something I'll get used to with more time playing.

    It was on sale for (iirc) $25 on GMG like the week after it released on Steam. I told everyone to jump on it but fell on deaf ears

    Also both of those scenarios in the demo are absolutely situations I'd be cursing up a storm they dont feel out of place at all. Maybe they shoe-horn in some naughty words later on but it such a non-sensical nothingburger to fuss over. I also read somewhere people are "boycotting" because lack of inclusion. Gamers are 2nd to only Q-anon nutjobs as the most brain broken adult babies.

    I can't quote your last post for whatever reason @Baconbut yup

    So apparently they were worried about sales in Japan. Preorders are doing quite well in other regions from what I've read. Honestly though don't really care, it's going to sell well enough, not worried about a giant corporation's stock price.

    I get the GoW comparisons but to me personally the newer games are like a 7/10. The heavy story focus already isn't quite my cup of tea and then on top of that story is just kind of bland/generic/played out, because it's based in greek mythology there is only so much iterating you can do. I do understand why other people like them though. For FFXVI again I don't love the heavy story focus and long cutscenes but the story grabbed me because it's new and even though it for certain borrows from GoT I don't know exactly where things are going (I did predict the big "twist" in the demo though).

    I personally agree with you but almost every person/article I've seen is saying it's one if not the single best demo ever. I would've much preferred more gameplay but if this helps them sell extra copies I'm all for it, I already knew I was buying it anyways.
  20. thedarkstark
    Pfffft, yeah right.
  21. thedarkstark
    There's no doubt it will open up at some point. If there's 2 hours of cutscenes right at the start then theres 9 left spread over 60ish hours. Presumably there is going to be a lot of setup at the start, some sort of twist/climax in the middle and then a bunch at the end. That would make the most sense. I definitely wish there were a bit less though. Hopefully this means they will cut down on expository dialogue, nothing like a character telling you "right, we're headed to X place" 10,000 times
  22. thedarkstark
    That's how sekiro is too. You're supposed to break posture on like 99% of enemies but theres like 2-3 bosses that it's way easier to just do direct damage to them.
  23. thedarkstark
    It wasn't bad, it was just very generic. There's a Paper Mario-esque deflect mechanic (green shell attack), which is kind of gimmicky and annoying imo. I think if you like quirky games you will probably enjoy it, but it killed my hype.
  24. thedarkstark
    I don't know if I've just gotten more impatient & ADHD as I've gotten older but I loved every MGS game when I was younger but now I vastly prefer the Dark Souls style storytelling. Cutscenes are fine but if they're more than 5 minutes long or they're very frequent they had better tell one hell of a story or they lose me.

    Sea of Stars already had a demo on switch (not sure if Steam got it) it was not very good in my opinion.
