Bethesda doesn’t fix their bugs at all and makes them worse. Larian is actively working with the community and releasing major patches to fix major bugs.

Your complaint has no validity.

It’s 100% accurate, that’s the insane thing. The fact it all happens so fucking casually too blows my damn mind. I might be misremembering it a bit but it really did feel like Gramps casually was like “Oh yeah by the way, here’s a remote control so you can control the bomb in your chest. Kill yourself and fix everything.”

You say that like Gale actively planned to try and kill Mystra. He was trying to give her back a piece of something that he thought was part of her. Meanwhile she was such a fool she couldn’t see that this mortal was pining to do something for her. Instead of saying it was dangerous she just kept saying “Nah babe, I don’t need anything, I’m good.”

So I’m not sure saying “Here. Kill yourself.” REMOTELY fits the ‘crime’ of making a mistake in trying to display admiration for your aloof idiot girlfriend who is supposedly a God but too blind to see what is right in front of her.

Hell yeah! Voted for all the BG3 stuff but the “Playstatiom Game of the Year?” also voted for RE4 hoping it would win and sure enough, it did!

God I love those two games so much

So the boomer mindset but about video games. Great.

This take is so exhausting. Especially when they act like this is a universal issue. It isn’t. Not everyone shares the same opinion.

This is the exact same bullshit as “Kids music these days is garbage” or “TV isn’t as good as it used to be” but about video games.

There was another video post to this community last night at around the same time (although was later deleted) saying “Why aren’t games fun anymore?”

This entire thing feels shallow as hell and just one angry dude who’s pissed about things not being like they used to be so he’s whining about it to other people who are angry.

There is literally nothing objective about this. It’s all using heavy skewed data to try and prove its point. He has absolutely no clue what he’s talking about. He’s just angry and saying things that he thinks are intelligent to try and back up his point.

Only thing I’ve discovered from this post is another “analyzer” to avoid at all possible costs.

It’s just people being weird and conservative and nostalgic. “Game that doesn’t make me feel like a child” = “modern game”.

Old. They’re being old. This is EXACTLY the same energy as a boomer saying “Music these days don’t get it” or “No one pays attention to this anymore” or “Nothing’s as good as it used to be”.

The take hyper focuses on negativity and would rather whine and complain about everything bad NOW, while nostalgia is living in their head rent free, because things are passing them by.

A friend of mine started saying BG3 was garbage recently. When I asked why he couldn’t adequately get out a reason. They were all weird and dismissive. We ended up in a heated discussion because I felt he wasn’t being fair at all to the game. Turns out I was right. He eventually ended up saying “Listen I just think the game fucking sucks because there is too much in it. I don’t have the time for all this. I miss when games were good and didn’t sprawl on forever, forcing you to get confused and lost.” When I pointed out that his complaint was based entirely in what he likes and not what’s good, he changed subject.

Nine times out of ten these “IT’S NOT GOOD ANYMORE” are based purely in nostalgia that ignores everything negative because they’re not looking to criticize. They’re looking to vent their frustrations but don’t know how to do it in a healthy or fair manner.

Happy with the bloatware that games have become

You’re openly saying you didn’t play older games. You don’t get to say what something has become when you’re not familiar with the originating form. Games ALWAYS had “bloatware”. Console and PC. They were always designed to be padded and stretched out.

I loved MK11 and still have it on my PS5, years later. That rarely happens. But I hate the multiplayer. Primarily because I suck. The single player I can at least try and can say “input reading” when I get my ass kicked. But online? Just ends up being disrespectful douchebags. Kick my ass, fine, but do you have to be so fuckin toxic about it?

Knowing there’s a huge drop in single player content just simply means I’m not getting the game. At least not without a drastic sale. Considering Liu Kang is now a God (FUCK him, the aggravating little twat) I was already kinda meh on it. Knowing that I’d be shoved towards the ‘community’? Love you Ed Boone but you can fuck off now.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5): I am gonna be getting the DLC when I can and I needed to check out the new update they dropped a couple months ago. The new perks are insane and the game has never felt so alive, clean and breathing. Love it and I already had a few hundred hours into it previously.
  • Elden Ring (PS5): Always looking for co-op players. Seriously. I need more people to play with. Shoot me a message. I love the game but I can’t say I’m good at it despite like… 600 hours. I mean I can hold my own but I’m not awesome or anything. Doesn’t help that I am running a spellcaster build.

Also reinstalled a couple base builders and RTS games like Planet Coaster, Evil Genius 2, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, etc.

I’ve been a die hard fan of both Bond and Hitman for a very long time. This game has had my attention since its announcement. I platinumed Hitman 3 in like 2 weeks. Look forward to doing the same as Bond.

I kinda left Wyll hanging in such a bad way. I was playing a Sorcerer and there was a scene with Gale where he was teaching me how to do some spell. I chose all the Sorcerer options and he went from the ribbing about me being a sorcerer to a very gentle/light ribbing and I just fucking fell in love with him and started to romance him then and there.

Like two nights later, if not the next night, Wyll came up and was like “Dance with me!” and I did for a bit and then he said “Bone?” and I said I was with Gale.

The fucking puppy dog eyes that man made as he slunk off… holy fuck. I have never felt so guilty in my life over pixels.

Yeah… Withers just outright refusing to elaborate is the best. I expected at least some hand waving joke or something not just “No.”
