Yeah that’s my point like… It’s an ok game, the story has always been very bland to me, very predictable and simple, I’d at least forgive that if the gameplay was always fun an exciting, but people do everything in their power to ignore it’s flaws and just say it’s perfect and overhype it like there’s nothing to improve.
Rockstar knew how to make game mechanics that made cars feel amazing to drive in Midnight club 3 and LA, and the ones in GTAV are crap, they all feel like driving on ice, they knew how to make good gunplay like Max Payne 3,and in GTAV is bland as fuck. That’s what I mean. They clearly know how to do good stuff but in the last 13 years they really haven’t innovated at ALL, and why would they? People are STILL wasting money on GTA Online 13 years later, and the same people will still buy GTA6 3-4 times in the next 10 years

I mean, it ain’t bad, it’s fun(I’m on mission 13-14), it’s still a Doom game. But it’s definitely the weakest of the last 3 games.
The Atlan is a cool concept but it’s just slow combat, the dragon sections are okay I guess but not groundbreaking… The overall combat itself is fun, but it’s somehow less visceral than the other two games, glory kills are basically gone and you just do a melee attack most of the time… I honestly enjoyed Eternal much more, it’s combat made you use the mechanics in a better way

Which song? I love it when that happens lol
- Comment on Doom: The Dark Ages' PS5 physical release reportedly has just 85MB on disc, and Xbox isn't much bigger 2 weeks ago:
I agree, I like both, but Eternal does force you to use most of your weapons and other systems continuously, like having to use demons as piñatas. The DLC is brutal, I remember having to stop for a breather after a particular spot because it was too hectic, I was bouncing around the level trying to kill everything but also basically always being at the brink of death, pure adrenaline . 2016 is not bad either, is just a good game overall, it captures the same feeling as the original games, it’s slower, but it’s still damn enjoyable, and that’s also ok.
I just started The Dark ages yesterday and it DOES feel more bland vs eternal IMO (at least the first level), and the shield homing attack seems dumb to me IMO, but it’s still simple fun being an unstoppable demon slayer

It isn’t my cup of tea, what bothers me is the EXTREME overhype. It’s not normal.
Literally EVERY social media I have has posts of people analyzing frame by frame of a stupid trailer, like… Wtf.
I get people being excited, but it’s a trailer, it’s not the next coming of Jesus
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 3 weeks ago:
Because the game isn’t even out and the people are treating it like the next coming of Jesus.
Their games are “Fine”, but for some reason people just go absolutely nuts over the same bland mindless gameplay from 13 years ago.

How is it mediocre?

Am I the only one who absolutely hates GTA?
It’s bland as fuck and somehow people go and fucking play the same shitty mechanic game for hundreds of hours for 13 years, not even mentioning the fact that they buy it fucking times.
It’s not even out and I already absolutely hate this game and how everyone is hyping it to be next coming of Jesus when it’s going to be EXACTLY the same as the other ones with crappy storyline and a basic af gameplay

Get the apk from apk mirror and then patch it using ReVanced manager

It’s not that. There’s some really good places if you need solutions. For example, the home networking subreddit is a godsend for home network issues

That one looks fun too, hopefully they can end the monopoly Reddit has
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there’s an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let’s me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that’s my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.
Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.
Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

Honestly that’s how I got here lol.
Tried it out when the API changes were announced, but let’s be real, Lemmy doesn’t have as much content or user interaction.
It’s allowed me to stop doom scrolling as much, but I do miss some niche communities

No worries! If you have any questions on the smart pro just let me know, it’s the only one of those devices that I have

If you look for stores with good reviews and good sales numbers you’re 90% sure you’ll get what you paid for. There are some other sellers for these types of devices like LITNXT, and you can even find them on Amazon (usually more expensive).
If you want anything like PS2 or gamecube prepare to pay $150+ for a device, and most likely it will be an android based device like the retroid pocket devices
Most of these ambernic/Miyoo/powkiddy/Trimui Linux devices are aimed to play up to PSP, and some PSP games will run poorly, they’re using older cheaper chips, so they’re honestly weak devices.
IMO, best case is buying one of these devices for psp and below, and a steam deck or other handheld PC for PSP onwards… And PC gaming obviously.
I have an ROG Ally, and PS2, gamecube and WiiU runs great, but it feels like overkill for GBA and PS1 for example, so, for older emulation I just use this $60 device

I recently got a Trimui Smart Pro, if you’re looking for horizontal devices, it’s also worth a look
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 1 month ago:
Confort and battery life.
I love my ROG Ally, it’s amazing for a bunch of games, but I honestly don’t find it comfortable to play GBA or PS1 games for example, and the battery life is like 4 hours tops.
I recently got a Trimui Smart Pro and been playing GBA games on and off in between work meetings or when I go out. It fits on my pocket alongside my phone and the battery lasts like 6 hours depending on the system.
Different uses cases, and for $50 it’s honestly not a hard sell

Hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re completely right, same as Black Flag tbh
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread 2 months ago:
I honestly enjoyed the setting of Origins and the “new take” on combat, since it was before anything they could basically do whatever they wanted so it kinda worked , but that’s the only one I enjoyed after revelations
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread 2 months ago:
Man, I dunno, but anything after AC Origins hast felt so bad and soulless… I’m probably not buying this, specially since anything after AC3 just stopped the “modern day” storyline and now is just incoherent plot lines that really amount to nothing… Dunno, not a fan of it

I don’t think that “game-wise” people had issues with it, the formula clearly works, but the performance is fucking atrocious for how it looks like…

Have you played Chasm? It’s a metroidvania, nothing outside of the ordinary, but map is randomly generated, so you’re guaranteed to get lost lol
