Bethesda games get better the farther back you go, almost objectively until you get to Morrowind, only after that is it arguable.

Oblivion is very systems driven, has better character building, more diverse gameplay, wasn’t afraid to let the player get a little silly, generally had better writing, they were less afraid of whimsy, and the world felt like it could exist without you. Skyrim felt like a theme park or movie set focused entirely around you and they were afraid to let you cut loose.

*All of this in theory, the level scaling made oblivion borderline impossible to play and it is still fundamentally bad in that Bethesda way.

No, it’s worse than that. It’s impossible to meet the standards set in this and other bills of it’s type without having a shortlist of curated, controlled people creating online content. That’s literally the point, keeping people from interesting with information they deem unsavory.

That said, it is impossible to enforce unless they want to set up the great firewall of america.

More probably that person just fell for the gaslighting over the price of games.

Cool, i doubt it’ll change ubisoft, but maybe if enough people do it.

I was perfectly willing to believe a fraction of a percent of people could get their world properly mixed up, but once i got half way down and they were talking about memory and emotions in games like it was some mind blowing thing i stopped taking this seriously. I’m certain they’ve deliberately worded everything to be as spooky as possible to boomers.

Happening here too.

It certainly sounds interesting

I can not fathom the idea of spending that much on gacha

But you don’t need to spend money to find a waifu, they could just go watch Gundam or something

The Internet isn’t universally bad

Or just… Don’t use an ai?

Sorta just sounds like Betrayal with a plot.

Ken should have been keelhauled on that yacht, but that article was deeply interesting and i gotta thank you for it. I kinda want to see a deep dive on police quest just to see the psychology of the broken minds behind it.

To be fair, most economics is purely ‘because they can’ with ‘they’ being shitheads in the owning class. if anything games (and most industries for that matter) should be going through a healthy period of deflation now (tariffs excluded) if not for said shitheads.

They’ll find anything to turn everything into conservative, anti-woke propaganda. I’m this case, though, it’s because there is a black guy.

Right wing shitheads co-opt the discussion around bad videogames to spread their bullshit.

Oh man, glad to see this is still alive!

I hate that nazis glom onto any bad game and ruin the discussion around it.

Man i knew the ark developers sucked, but they really won’t quit
