@MallowTheQueen Strawmanning competition and you’re my op:

@Gleptpgz So are you saying the individual quality of these titles is affected by their status as a side game?

I don't wanna put anyone on blast, but I saw someone say "I've never played Marathon, but it would be better with a single player campaign" and I actively lost brain cells

@MallowTheQueen These were all done in the midst of the regular games being made, on the side. Not as a revamp to a cherished IP. If they came out 3 decades after BL2 with Tales I would have been pissed.

@Gleptpgz If you feel the only experience a game series is capable of providing is something that ALWAYS needs to stick to the same genre and game design as the originals, then I'm afraid you are missing out on some awesome games

@MallowTheQueen You are arriving at the same point as the person you criticized, “The story is good, but people don’t like the core gameplay features what if they did something to help that” and you said they were dumb.

@MallowTheQueen Oh my god you’re so stupid, no one will engage with it because it’s in a shitty fad extraction shooter. The core gameplay that they changed, I don’t know if you remember that or not.

@MallowTheQueen They took a campaign, story based IP made a shitty fad niche genre game and people rightly are pointing out it should have been a bit similar to the original IP. Or at least have a focus on its strong points, narrative.

@Gleptpgz I used the example of a game's core design being twisted to fit into a gameplay style it was not designed for, creating an awkward and disconnected experience. Marathon 26 REDESIGNED that core in the 30 years since the original trilogy. They simply aren't the same conversation

@charleynomore @yorpdorp @moleyyy @TheInSneider You’re a moron.

@yorpdorp @moleyyy @TheInSneider “just like how you didn’t” bro i’m not here to make you all less stupid, the audacity to ask me to fix all your shortcomings, go read

Not even I am as delusional as Anthony Fantano...

@TheInSneider @FaitelsonSDLG No one’s heard of Lester Bangs, way more people have heard of Fantano

Not arguing his impact. He's the real deal, I get it. But he's not Lester Bangs. Nor do I really believe in the power of music journalism. I've never read an article about a band and been like, 'Now I have to listen to them!' You discover music by listening to it, not reading about it.

@MallowTheQueen That’s literally what you said.

@Gleptpgz ok buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night lmao

@MallowTheQueen You’re example of dumb game design is a solo experience being made into shitty PvP shooters, which is literally what they did to marathon. You are a moron.

@Gleptpgz Just because an IP was a single player game 3 decades ago, doesn't mean the core design and systems of the modern installment automatically translates into the same experience. This is basic game design

@PaulTassi Call of Duty Zombies lore through bo4 is immaculate

I mean, dollar-wise, this is technically correct. Obviously not in cultural impact, where I can probably name like four characters from 12 games

@Voidnigx @Damac1214 No.

@Damac1214 TFS should've been focused on Cayde and his backstory

I remember people calling Cade Final Shape a desperation move and Glup Shitto and then it was probably the best use the character ever got

@MallowTheQueen Moronic take as marathon started as a single player game.

idk. "I've never played Marathon, but it would be better with a single player campaign" to me is honestly on the same level as "I've never played Resident Evil, but it would be better with a PvP Multiplayer hero shooter"

@Joefy200 @yutaktik Well you didn’t fail us, shit is sick!

@yutaktik When I made this post it had 2 likes after being up for almost 2 hours, it started getting attention after I made this post! And I know not to focus on engagement numbers, but I really poured my soul into this one and it felt like I failed myself

Seeing your project that you worked on for months absolutely flop has to be one of the most soul crushing experiences of any artist

@bhangbhangducx They have never felt self worth or drive in anything, they have strove for material and shallow things and are surprised no meaning has been found.

this person feels intense guilt and shame over something

@Trey_Explainer Unrelated but please make more ASOIAF videos, the Targaryen one was great

Call me lame but my hot take is that I don’t think we should be seeing something hyped up and kept mysterious in the books for 30 years so clearly and so casually

@D_Trouble453 I think the seasonal exotics was a good idea, maybe implemented slightly differently

One big expansion per year (Forsaken size) one small expansion per year (Warmind size) Don't waste time on bullshit seasonal content, just make one massive expansion for the year to keep people busy, then something to get people to come back for a bit. That's all you need.

@th3jmanx If you like arpgs PoE and Diablo IV have fairly robust end games and grinding for builds and such. That and ESO are the only things that have a semblance of what Destiny is, nothing close but still.

The tough reality that I'm working on accepting is that this last D2 update is eventually going to fizzle out, and we'll enter a long, potentially indefinite, period without new Destiny content. I'm curious if folks have interest of where to turn next? For me, I've been mostly playing "indie" games for the last year or so. But at the same time, I do want that one main game to really sink my teeth into. Any suggestions?

@Forcer69 The ogre truly is a dickhead

I did cheese Warlord’s Ruin though, and I’d like to say. There is something wrong with boss health scaling when it still takes multiple of the “Instant kill super.”

@shin_kale_rider I think that would entail it isn’t holding up, jackass is still hilarious.

“Eric Andre Show does not hold up at all” - mostly inaccurate “Eric Andre’s gonzo shock jock schtick has gotta old nearly a decade later” - correct

@snailtechnician @pinketine Way funnier bit if you can’t sing

@pinketine that rocks actually i wish i could sing so i could also terrorize him with my beautiful voice 😭😭

somewhat unrelated but i love this person that calls in to dean withers and sings to him
