Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Meanlucario
Wooden knife? A special item you found?

@blue-case90
ah.

I was wondering whether or not they’re coming out with e sequel to this after all these years.

Regardless of the phone games’ overall reputation….Am I the only one who hates how many phone game ads, as if their intrusiveness isn’t annoying enough, look like if the “player” is deliberately throwing the game or playing like an idiot making them rather painful to watch?

Embracer Group is being split up into three publicly-traded entities.

@Twi Clown
that’s the entire point.

literally they’re making the player to be incompetent so YOU get frustrated and hopefully decide to take matters in your own hands by downloading the game.

@kleptomage
You use the bark of a tree to make a weapon that silences on hit for a quest.

And just like everything else about mobile games, this tactic was stolen from actual competent game-makers. It originates in arcade games showing demos that are deliberately played badly to make you think “I can do better” and part with some quarters.

@tehwatever
That’s actually a bad tactic when you know not only you but most people around could also do it.

There’s a difference between watching people failing Dark Souls or Cuphead and then there’s phone game ads which crosses the line of “barely able to use a blanket” in terms of competence.

playing production chain style games really puts into context how fragile our civilization is. also I think factorio should be required gaming for high schoolers because there are genuine idiots out there that don’t know what logistics is.

OK Video Game General

How fucked are you

@AaronMk
How do you delete other people’s comments?

Because I heavily wish to do that to you right now.

Judgement has been passed down upon you mortal

but fear not if you don’t dedicate yourself obsessively to One Game*

@AaronMk
Oh boy! A lot of games I like aren’t here, so I must be like, super awesome. As I always knew.

Then work from whatever game is most-like a game on the list.

Unless you’re a Rimworld player, then you’re buried under “Paradox Games”

I hate how after raising the base price of video games, said $70 games are still scummy in their monetization. It’s almost like cost was just an excuse to nickle and dime players and the hurdle was never as big as the greedy CEOs claimed it was.

Oh, wait. They already admitted to as much in Let’s Go Whaling, a presentation on how to nickle and dime players, with one of the tricks being tricking the players into thinking they are giving money to the devs and not the CEO.

Basically it goes over how little Halo’s show helped the game’s popularity where Fallout’s show skyrocketed their games.

Fallout 4 sales has reportedly increased by 7500% since the show’s premiere. Yes 4 digit percent increase.

Or to put it another way, Fallout sales pre-show.

Fallout sales post-show.

Even music streaming services has seen themselves double thanks to hosting music included in Fallout. Now everyone’s heard the news of Butcher Pete and how he’s chopping all that meat!

@Dustcan
That’s what happens when a popular franchise uses songs that were made outside of it. I like to listen to why I shouldn’t set the world on fire personally.

That’s only because you don’t have a big iron on your hip.

@Dustcan
You joke, but I try to use magnums every time I play Fallout.

You’re a demon, you’re a devil, you’re a doll.

Yeah I got an entire soundtrack lined up and ready for replies.

@Dustcan
Oh what about the classical music.
