- Comment on Arrowhead initially planned to make Helldivers 2 in 3 years—instead it took 7 years, 11 months, and 26 days 5 months ago:
Yet the game still constantly crashes and has weapons and armor that have no effects.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 6 months ago:
The option to skip was there 20 minutes after launch until now.
It said required in the popup, but still had a skip button with no consequences.
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 6 months ago:
Good point. I believe they do generate a temporary virtual card number but I’m unsure if it removes all potentially identifying information from the transaction.

My friend group all use the same one though to pollute the data.
Use cash for this strategy. If you’re using credit or debit cards they can separate the data that way.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 8 months ago:
I want to blame the company but from their point of view this business model works so I understand why it keeps happening.
Steam refunds are great for situations like these but I doubt the average casual knows how easy it is. The other platforms are much stricter on refunds.
There’s also the culture shift of gamers defending broken releases with “at least they fixed it!” Or “they released a roadmap for future fixes” that encourages early releases.
- Comment on Employees Say ‘Sizable Portion’ Of Gearbox-Owned Studio Has Been Laid Off 10 months ago:
This is just Randy’s latest magic trick. Making a ton of his employees disappear!
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 10 months ago:
Lots of actual calls for violence on here and people screaming nazi at anyone who casually disagrees with them.
Reporting the calls for actual IRL violence does nothing, mods don’t seem to respond or take action.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Sales Breakdown - with PC making up a whopping 68% of units sold 1 year ago:
I stopped buying on GOG when they shifted their stance on DRM suddenly and allowed it into their store.
Have they changed stances in the last year or two? Maybe, but they already lost my trust with their initial responses.

My suggestion for YouTube video reviews currently is ACG. He states that he buys every game he reviews and if the studio sends him a copy for free he gives a copy away to the community out of his own pocket to try and reduce the bias.
He also seems to do a good job of testing on a variety of difficulty levels and platforms.

YongYea just reads reddit threads without providing any actual commentary or context of his own. He repeats himself until he crosses the video length threshold for monetization.
He also had a nasty case where rushed his Cyberpunk 2077 review to be one of the first to monetize, and then monetized his apology video where he stated he didn’t really play the game enough to review it. And he admits he “went way too easy on this game in a way that I wouldn’t have with other games or companies and the review shouldn’t be up”.

I also remember when I used to watch him before Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out and he acted like he was a longtime huge fan of the original game, but when he watched the ff7r trailer he seemed like he barely knew the basics.

Hold the parry button rather than clicking it quickly. When you first hold the parry button is when the window starts, and it lasts a few frames while held. This works for perfect guard as well.
You’ll still need to time it properly, but holding it longer should have a noticeable improvement in the consistency of your parries.
