Made it to jogo 6 in Cinco Paus, where they introduce enemies with buffs. I knew I was screwed the moment when the roosters started healing each other.

@Niflheimm155983 @MegaCrit Apparently it’s largely because the Chinese community fucking loves infinites for some reason and doesn’t want them taken away lol
English
@TheNCSmaster This is literally his point dude cmon
Blader@LocalBtnMasher
"Bigger and with more mechanics does not make it better" Woooow, I can't believe it, almost like sandbox open world is bad design
English
Friendly reminder that “bigger means better” does not apply to video games
Blader@LocalBtnMasher
I dont understand why Breath of the Wild has a score of 97, while Crimson Desert, a game with a bigger world and more mechanics, has 78?
English
@BurningCinderss @iloveairbagged It’s how all sandbox games are designed. It’s why they’re an inherently bad genre.
English
@RASHADISBAE @iloveairbagged His point is wrong, because that’s not how BOTW is designed
English
@Isolatedwill2 @Niflheimm155983 Get his ass. Bro hasn’t even beat Cinco Paus 💀
English
@Niflheimm155983 That’s cause y’all suck at games that actually require you to think and use more than just button mashing
English
Crimson Desert has set a new low for me in terms of game feel. I genuinely thought it would be like Tsushima - mid, but comfy due to the great visuals. Instead, it was so unbearably bad that I decided to quit and get a refund literally within 5 seconds of touching the joystick

@Niflheimm155983 @RoytaMustDie @PremiumR98 People are sick of drive rush and throw loops and they haven’t really changed either. Nowhere near as bad as Tekken though.
English
@RoytaMustDie @PremiumR98 I thought SF6 was still well liked? Did they Tekkenify that one too
English
@Soroborean @LocalBtnMasher Yeah the creator is a big Cinco Paus fan. Blader should probably give that game a try as well.
English
@yuramikon @ezequiel51_ You don’t need to fight the true last boss for the 1CC right? Definitely agree that there are too many boring sections, I feel like ZeroRanger has like a couple minutes of glorified cutscenes throughout the run which got grating when going for 1CC.
English
@ezequiel51_ I took a break after I lost my 1cc to her. Zeroranger is so good but the main there is too much boring part in replays.
English
zeroranger might be the best videogame ever. i died twice against the true final boss and I want to tear my skin off with my teeth 100% recommended
English
@Ah_rtav @ThonkSwitcher @LocalBtnMasher I thought TEU was working on his own shmup but I could be wrong. I’m not sure that designing a game inherently makes you a better critic though.
English
@RASHADISBAE @ThonkSwitcher @LocalBtnMasher Difference is that Matthewmatosis is an actual game designer, and TEU is not afaik (correct me if I am wrong), so who really understands more?
English
Does he know its not 2014 anymore and people know him for more than reviewing Nintendo games?
Az1H@TheAziH
welp there it is everyone tears of the kingdom is a good video game. the discourse is over officially.
English
@garsedj @LocalBtnMasher “Puzzle games are fundamentally flawed because they fall apart without the self imposed challenge of not looking everything up” - Blader probably
English
@ThonkSwitcher @LocalBtnMasher Yeah I used to really like him when I was younger but when you compare him to a critic that really understands game design like TheElectrcUnderground it’s night and day
English
@LocalBtnMasher Growing up is realizing matthewmatosis wasn't a good critic
English
@nise_yoshimi Nearly every modern game has 99% of the challenge be the bosses with everything else being piss easy. I’m so sick of it.
English
one of nioh 3s most frustrating design decisions is that it simultaneously dumbs down the regular enemy encounters but all the bosses are much more aggressive and flashy. The steady elden ringification of all video games
English
@Spiders_STG @ezequiel51_ @Niflheimm155983 I feel like UFO50 had a lot of games with unique mechanics that you couldn’t find a replacement for if you’re just going through retro games. The genre games like Fist Hell sucked though.
English
@ezequiel51_ @Niflheimm155983 Best take was Boghog (paraphrase): “if you liked UFO50, check out the sequel. It’s called Capcom Arcade Stadium.”

I hate what Shovel Knight represents. It feels like the epicenter of “retro nostalgia, but with modern game design!” - one of the most infuriating sentiments in gaming
I can’t bring myself to dislike the actual game though, it’s pretty decent and not as easy as I was expecting
English
@LocalBtnMasher @FlippantNomad Haven’t played Mewgenics and heard it’s not very good, but I feel that games that focus on random synergy can be really interesting when done well. There can be a lot of depth in recognizing synergies and finding optimal ways to use them, especially with lots of randomization.
English
@FlippantNomad The creator behind it does not change the content of the game. Its the same synergy game we have seen for 10 years now with all the other big boy hits in the indie space, there is nothing bold here
English
Yes they did, people have been asking and buying roguelikes where the entire challenge lays i. Synergy for about 15 years now, there is nothing transgressive or bold here
MarkyX 🌹 MafiaBlitz.com@Marky_X_
The success of mewgenics and the failure of highguard is proof that publishers need to stop looking at data points for their games No one asked for a turn-based roguelike selective car breeding game wth toilet humor. No one.
English
@z_mahde @Razor_Blade247 @retrollel2 @king_of_games34 Huh? I’ve never even played it but it’s a fairly well liked beat-em-up from everything I’ve heard. I know some even say it’s better than God Hand.
English
@Razor_Blade247 @retrollel2 @king_of_games34 No he is 100% right no one has ever heard of this game outside of people putting it in their "Bad games" List dude.
English
>2 player co-op requires you to beat the game to unlock
What kind of actual retard came up with this?
TheGameVerse@TheGameVerse
Players are demanding refunds for God of War: Sons of Sparta, upset that local 2-player co-op isn’t available at launch and only unlocks after finishing the campaign. Fans are calling it misleading advertising and demanding refunds, “I feel cheated, and I want a refund.” (via Push Square)
English
@MyHumanEquation @sevenlovesmen I’ve heard the gameplay sucks tbh. Even outside of the edginess it seems like Mewgenics was just a complete miss.
English
@sevenlovesmen I'm hoping good logic prevails. Mewgenics is on the verge of being a goat all-timer. There is zero need to taint its reputation with this shit.

@CalIsAlive @Ayavanni disco elysium lower on the story axis then witcher 3, cp2077 and dispatch

@KyokuReset @ChazakielDoremi I had a friend who played it recently and wasn’t super into it. Though he did play it not long after Expedition 33 and it seems like he’s been struggling to get into other games since.
English
@ChazakielDoremi outer wilds is maybe the only video game I’ve never seen anyone dislike this is a crazy revelation
English
At this point I keep using 'Outer Wilds' as example of 'good video game' on purpose just because it pisses the most annoying people on the planet the fuck off
