The bar is apparently low these days.

“They released it almost bug free!” is the new “AAA devs announced there will be no micro transactions!” Gamers as a group are basically abused spouses.

Didn’t think I would have to explain that.

You didn’t. You just repeated what the other guy said in different words, haha. I think he’s looking for a little more detail. It’s an 11yo console and we’re not all Nintendo historians.

Yeah, it’s the not buying it.

It’s a fair price.

That’s a valid opinion that I disagree with. My opinion on the price isn’t why the guy sucks. It’s just another reason I won’t buy the game, personally. It’s just the basis for him acting like a damn fool on a public forum about it.

No need to come to their defense if you like that game, that’s cool. I’m just voting with my wallet for my own personal reasons. Simple as that.

So what it went from $20 to $35? Game has been out for a long time and updated quite a bit in that time. Also if the devs don’t want to put it on sale… that’s their decision 🤷‍♂️

I thought all of this went without saying, so I didn’t. That’s just stuff I personally dislike as a consumer. Nothing egregious about it.

It’s how the douchebag thinks it’s okay to treat other people is what turned me off of ever giving them business.

They’re staunchly anti-sale, and the game will not ever be available at any kind of sale price. On top of that earlier this year they increased the price to “adjust for inflation”. When they announced it there was a reddit thread with plenty of criticism in the comments. He proceeded to come in hot, fling shit, and condescend to everyone with the attitude of a grade school bully. It was mildy entertaining tbh. They really need a PR person with a guy like that in the lead.

I’ll wait for the updated cracked file. Sorry to the rest of the team but their lead dev is a collosal cunt.

^Boosting this as it’s the only non-anime suggestion atm.

I just watched this and thought it was decent. Directed by Hideaki Anno, known best for Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it’s pretty apparent. The montages of button down politicians and scientists working in sync, filing into perfectly symmetrical makeshift office spaces, and standing at attention like they’re military personnel felt very familiar. I saw a review afterwards that called it “The Dunkirk of Godzilla Movies” which I found hilariously accurate.

I’ll also throw in the very aged, but influential Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

Meta never had a good thing. Oculus had a good thing. Meta WAS the bad thing. The writing was on the wall from the start and the open VR community has preached about it for years. It’s a shame for the best outgoing PC-Free VR hardware.

The old ones have some clunky ass cam controls. That’s the most aged part of the experience. Customizing and experimenting with your AC has always been an awesome experience since the first game, though.
