@LocalBtnMasher We forgot to tell this guy that people who display this degree of pretentiousness and elitism usually have SOMETHING to be proud enough about to validate the behavior.
This is just low tier trolling.

Video games are not a tool to relax, they are not a service for that
They are artistic works which main purpose is to invoke emotion in you, in the case of problem solving games, frustration and euphoria
If you want to relax kick your legs back and get a massage
Dasha@dashalosesit
I like to relax when playing games, not treat them as a second job

@NextGenNero I haven't seen a game crash this months since I played Outriders on launch on a PS4 Pro.
Throughout the course of the full playthrough, it crashed my PS4 no less than 19 times. And I'm talking about crashes so bad I'd have to unplug my PS4 to hard reset it.
English
Sadly, I will be putting my PS5 Pro playthrough of starfield on pause. I love this game and my favorite thing to do is exploration but the constant Crashes are ridiculous. I’m about 10+ hours in and I’ve had about 7-8 game crashes. Disappointed with Bethesda lack of optimization
English
@NeonBirdGames @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK Yeah, sorry again. I felt about 2" tall when I realized what I'd done. 😖
English
@BwoompPanda @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK lol no worries mate, that makes things make a lot more sense 👍🏻
English
Starfield has been all I’ve thought about since coming back for the big updates 🚀
The updates have made a great game even greater, and it’s been so awesome seeing new captains on the timeline hopping in for the first time😎
It is, without question, my Game of the Generation ✨

@vicious696 The internet had always emboldened people who normally wouldn't say half the stuff they type out if you were talking to them face the face.
90% of the shit-talking you hear in online lobbies probably wouldn't happen if they were at the arcades I grew up with.
English
I find it amazing that folks on this app are perfectly ok hurling insults and making wild assumptions but the moment you ask them to be accountable and turn on a camera to talk to you directly, they fold like a house of cards
The anime avatar brigade strikes again

@vicious696 If calling you geriatric is immature and highly offensive, log off. And I do know you. You lie to people for a living for Microsoft. Your hoodie is a sign of more of that to come. And I will never show my face on this app because it will make every female dm me. Have a great day.

@DestinLegarie That's the Bethesda we know and love (to dislike).
They've literally been building slowly on (and barely fixing) the same engine they've been using since Morrowind...a game from the early 2000s.
Most PC gamers will refuse to play Bethesda games without mods. That says a lot.
English
@YorchTorchGames It also just wasn't a good game.
Level design was all over the place in quality.
Some bosses were poorly balanced.
One of the worst and most convoluted skill trees I've seen in a game in this genre
I don't often give up on a game, but I dropped this halfway through.
English
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is being paraded as proof that "beauty doesn't sell."
It peaked at 131K concurrent players.
Marathon couldn't reach that.
Wuchang launched poorly optimized with no marketing follow through.
Beauty didn't fail. The product did.
English
@RenfailSoL ...Those games are also 13 to 20+ years old, on consoles that didn't have the power to pull things like that off well if at all.
That's like saying "people didn't complain about the lack of Mode 7 and blast processing on the Atari 2600."
English
The Hypocrisy of the Loading Screen Argument is so hilarious when you look at Mass Effect /KOTOR and how NO ONE ever complained about the loading screens, lack of space flight, or lack of manual ship landings and take offs compared to Starfield.

@elbethium I loved the Lord's if Shadow games. I can understand why Castlevania "purists" may not have liked them, but they were a bold (and more importantly FUN) reimagining of the series origin.
LoS2 had some missteps with the stealth stuff, but I felt like it was under appreciated.
English
What a game this was 👍
But it had 0 God Of War in it. Castlevania had these elements before it came out, with the Lament Of Innocence, another Castlevania banger.
♡乡atuu@atuhru
Castlevania + God of War + Shadow of the Colossus = Lords of Shadow
English
@_Deez_Games Yup. It's pretty sad when the front page on a digital store for a company like Sony is 90% shovel-ware that you'd expect to see on mobile phones.
It gets tiresome needing to sift through PAGES of $1-$5 trash to find the real games that took more than a day in MS Paint to make.

@BwoompPanda Sex shop supermarket simulator
TGC shop simulator
Bum simulator
Cash cleaner simulator
Spray paint simulator
...
It's a shame as there's actually loads of good simulators
English
I would love the ability to filter things OUT of my search. Being able to remove anything under £4 would pretty much eliminate all shovelware and help me to see real games made by passionate developers 🙌

Sony is testing big changes to the PlayStation Store alongside the new PS5 UI update. The store now features larger game cards, trailers, and short descriptions. Currently available only to select users in beta.
English
@EndymionYT Game journalism is dead.
The advent of streaming has rendered "critics" and review sites redundant.
I mean, are you more likely to buy/skip a game you can WATCH somebody play and ask about in real time, or listen to some potentially paid off over opinionated reviewer?
English
PC GAMER unironically states that Dragon Age VEILGUARD was “beloved” in this article & Bioware should do more of that.
Opinion discarded
PC Gamer@pcgamer
How BioWare can make an unlikely comeback, and why it never will: The first step is cancelling Mass Effect pcgamer.com/games/mass-eff…

@NeonBirdGames @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK Turns out I WAS replying to the wrong post. Sorry. 😑
Somebody else posted asking "why aren't there more first person melee/parkour games" and for some reason I thought your reply was from him, claiming "Ive played plenty" when I said he wasn't looking hard enough for them
English
@BwoompPanda @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK Are you sure you’re responding to the right post?
My original post had nothing to do with wondering why there aren’t more of “<insert genre here>” so I’m genuinely confused as to where your question is even coming from lol
English
@NeonBirdGames @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK I literally asked you the same question with different phrasing.
You wonder why there isn't more of <insert genre here> on one hand, then on the other hand claim you've played "plenty."
So I can't tell if this post is engagement bait or if you're just that clueless.
English
@BwoompPanda @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK Genuinely what are you talking about?
English
@darkgio6 @therealcliffyb Indeed. And back then, we didn't have to worry about games being finished on launch.
The "ship it now, patch it later" mentality that's been pervasive since the late 2000s is one of the major things that's been slowly poisoning the game industry from the inside.
English
@BwoompPanda @therealcliffyb Word. Even mediocre games from the 90s had a good idea or two to be different and fun in it's own way
English
Terrified of making a new game potentially because so many people only know me from Gears in spite of having worked on many other genres/titles.
English
@NeonBirdGames @StarfieldGame @BethesdaStudios @bethesda @Bethesda_UK Then why say "why aren't there more" when you already have "plenty?"
The fact you seem to enjoy what's already out there is great. Be happy with it.
The last thing we need right now is more trend-chasing in game design.
English
English
@ValorMortis There are plenty. You're just not looking hard enough.
The other answer is a lot of devs just aren't up to the task of pulling off first person platforming or melee combat well enough.
English
why aren't there more games with first-person parkour platforming?
English
@lofi_lover0930 Gaming has a lot of "tourists" these days who think they can just swoop in force their skewed outlooks on it like it's the norm.
Souls-likes have brainwashed guys like that into thinking if you're not suffering or fighting a boss for 2 hours you're not even gaming.
English
Being engaged in a videogame is WHAT'S FUN ABOUT IT
Y'all miss the whole fucking point and you're a Game Developer, that shit is insane to me
The point of this medium ever since it was fucking created was to have fun by being engaged by it
I can't believe what I'm reading
Antonio Freyre - Merlino Games@merlino_games
"fun" being a requirement for games is what keeps this medium from being taken seriously you're going to tell me Requiem for a Dream, The Downward Spiral, Blood Meridian, Guernica, etc, are "fun"? masterpieces have to be interesting, not necessarily "fun"
English
@darkgio6 @therealcliffyb More accurately, the AAA game industry has spent so long chasing trends and milking anything that gets any modicum of success into mediocrity, that it's forgotten how to cook.
Devs in the 80s thru 2000s thrived because they made what they WANTED to make and play themselves.
English
@therealcliffyb The industry needs some bold designers ASAP. It's in a creative crisis
