@ClearEyedTakes @ajudaporfavor9 @LcevDani @lowcortisol I wouldn't worry about it. It's probably the socially trendy thing to do. Or they have their own problems but they give other people grief instead of dealing with their own.

@ajudaporfavor9 @LcevDani @lowcortisol why do none of yall understand the different between need and want just because you want a coffee doesn't mean you need it addicts NEED things to function on a daily basis, drinking 2 coffees a week isn't an addiction you low iq rat

Weed smokers are the biggest losers on the planet

@JambosCat This has been a long time coming. PC gamers were hit first when pre built desktops and laptops stopped including disk drives. And the game section became a tiny corner in the store. At least the series X has backwards compatibility for most games.

Maybe this is a boomer take but I feel like if you buy an Xbox game you should be able to play it on any account instead of having to buy it multiple times. Really takes the joy out of it for me

tbh I hate the direction video game companies are taking games. It used to be buy the game, own the game, play the game. Now it’s all subscriptions and digital shit. Lose your account? Well, you no longer have access to any games or purchases. It’s all just so dumb

@ItsAnniKaay The most stupidest thing I've seen is the people who say there's nothing wrong with it. All because they are afraid of how they are perceived. Or they are incredibly naive and forgotten that if you give people an inch then they take a mile.

video games including pronouns is the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

@wesleytypes Easier said than done, for some people.

@SmeagolGamer Well even then, I think the variety is so good right now. I tried to represent that with the games I picked. If you can't find something new to play right now, but touch grass for a bit? 😅 Haha

“There are no games to play.” This month alone:

@TrevorLit1619 @RockyHuff3 @guyfelicella When it comes to the files it is the fault of the FBI. Why? What is the main "tool" that the FBI has used since its inception. Black mail. So do you really think the FBI wants to release the name of anyone they have influence over?

Are you though? Trump started an illegal war just like the dems have in the past. It's also a fact that Trump is a pedophile protector by having to be forced to release the Epstein files and they still haven't released them and have redacted names illegally. They're only supposed to redact victim names.

As a Canadian, I have a serious question: How the hell is Donald Trump still in power after everything he's said, done, and been accused of? Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten. Because nothing about it makes sense.

@stormfall33 The movie theatres have always had people who won't be quiet. It's the streaming services that have cost the theatres money. So they are less likely to do something about loud customers.

Just walked out of Backrooms. Not because of the movie but because every quiet scene was accompanied by the sound of everyone around me having full on conversations. Movie theaters are dying because people who cant shut the fuck up for 2 hours are killing them.

@K__Med @MADkurious I mean GTA 6 is the only game of Rockstars that has been in development for more than 10 years. Their older games had shorter development time. I think the cloth physics is a pretty big miss for me. Other game studios beside Rockstar are able to have cloth physics.

That’s true. It’s kind of an IOI flex to shove celebrities into their games, but these influencers are straight‑up cringe, so I’m with you there. The real issue with comparing anything to Rockstar is that they operate on a completely different timeline and budget. They take a decade to build a game and seem to have unlimited money to burn. Nobody really knows what those projects cost or how long each piece takes. If we expect every studio to pump out Naughty Dog or Rockstar level games, we’re basically signing up for massive gaps between releases.

I’m officially starting a petition to ban using Rockstar games as a comparison point for anything, ever again. We’ve hit the saturation point.

@Swurv__ Never said they weren't happy. Just pointing out that most modders don't mod full time and most don't make a living solely from making mods.

@SmeagolGamer I talk with verified creators. They don't seem unhappy.

Most people think that mods should be free. Which doesnt make a lot of sense if youre a mod author with mouths to feed.

@TheCartelDel Problem is that wouldn't make a difference for any of you. There are content creators who stream playing the latest releases, yet they still get called "grifters". So clearly playing a game on a live stream isn't enough. How about these people complaining about it just log off.

If you're going to make your whole internet personality about which games suck, I feel you should start all tweets by showing the Box or Playtime to prove you've played it. In fact, just show ANY 2 games from the last 4months.

@anderfeels Origins is the best Dragon Age game. If it wasn't then EA would never had forced Bioware to rush out a sequel.

best dragon age game is obviously indisputably dragon age 2 (im doing a rerun and rediscovering how much i love this)

@afroswan @OnlyBeysYT @K__Med Sorry but there is no "rule" since it varies for each different new game release.

@SmeagolGamer @OnlyBeysYT @K__Med exceptions don’t make the rules

"I'm gonna post Steam charts again, that always brings the boys to the yard"

@OnlyBeysYT @K__Med Well in the case of Marathon this isn't true. PC players were 70% of the sales and player base. So the Steam charts do hold some significance.

@K__Med I think these people forget that console players make up an overwhelming amount of the people actually playing these particular games. These numbers are only relevant if its exclusively a PC title and doesnt have its own launcher outside of steam

@Knight10293847 Don't purchase and play the games then.

The one thing that does suck about this is how Larian and Warhorse use AI. Like man what a way to ruin excitement.

@Swurv__ Biggest waste of marketing money. Everyone knows they will make ES6 even if they never released the teaser.

The biggest tease in gaming history or the smartest marketing ever. Which one?

@_LMD2023 @ElsonsoJannus @Swurv__ Yes and no. ES6 would have more players on PC day 1 since Rockstar release for PC later. But if ES6 stays a Microsoft exclusive than GTA6 out performs ES6 across consoles on day 1 release.

@ElsonsoJannus @Swurv__ It would probably give GTAVI a run for its money in terms of day 1 purchases, and day 1 active players. It could potentially beat GTAVI in that aspect….GTaVI would beat it out by the end of that week for sure…but day one…would be an interesting battle.

@CorbynRed @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ True but the first game affected was DA2 in 2011. Also after Ray and Greg left, Bioware didn't have consistant leadership.

@SmeagolGamer @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ Ray and Greg haven't been involved since 2012. EA's had new leadership since that time.

ngl this depresses me

@CorbynRed @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ You also don't know whether they did or either. I can make an educated guess that they didn't, since in any interview that Greg and Ray has done, said they had a great working relation with EA. So most likely they didn't get combative with EA when it came for release timelines.

@SmeagolGamer @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ So you don't actually know. Got it.

@CorbynRed @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ It seems that most likely they didn't or didn't enough, because Bioware seemed to develop this ego that they could do no wrong. It was one of Ray or Greg, that thought the Old Republic would be the WOW killer and that it would make enough money that they could buy EA.

@SmeagolGamer @Knight10293847 @wesleytypes @dragonage @nuhre_ How do you know they didn't do that?
