- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
I have provided reasons, although I also don’t need to.
I’m guessing you wouldn’t be this upset if I said Metal Gear Rising is good without providing reasons?
- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
Not really. You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon like.
Unfortunately, the snowball effect has taken hold so those who cannot think for themselves will never realize it.
I rest my case.
- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
Keep finding ways to justify your enjoyment of a mediocre product.
As long as you’re part of the bandwagon, you’re in company.
- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
Not really.
It’s mediocre and lazy.
Fact.
The swordplay is neutered because doing what they had in the tech demo was ‘too hard’ for obsidian.
Fact.
The story is forgettable, along with pretty much everything else about the game.
Opinion, but this is what people are agreeing with me on so…
The MGS games are classics. Rising just rode their coattails and had memers at the helm.
Fact.
You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon enjoy.
Fact.
- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.
Right. And all of the MGS games that don’t have this are better than rising.
It’s not fantastic. It’s mediocre and lazy.
- Comment on Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated 1 week ago:
I’m the exact opposite of a philistine, which is why I’m not afraid to be critical of garbage like this.

- Comment on Games Done Quick from home is a waste of time 1 week ago:
That’s nice, but even the views reflect my opinion.
- Comment on Games Done Quick from home is a waste of time 1 week ago:
I answered the person who asked why.
- Comment on Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects 1 week ago:
I stopped buying consoles when they started charging for online.
Feels like I made the right decision.
- Comment on Microsoft lays off employees in security, experiences and devices, sales, and gaming — separate from performance cuts 1 week ago:
It’s yall’s fault for using windows.
Linux is literally available for free.
- Comment on Nintendo stock falls after mixed reaction from Switch 2 announcement 1 week ago:
No problem.
I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
It 100% sounds like their flavor of bullshit.
Remember the “emulation console” they released?
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Heck, piracy is almost always morally correct because developers are only doing the least while charging the most.
If they want to treat business as “us vs. them”, then that’s what they’re going to get.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Copyright and patent laws need to die.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Glad I still have my solid copy of Yuzu.
Never buying another console again, and it’s been years since I bought a video game.
The companies only have themselves to blame.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
You mean $400.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Me using a gaming laptop, a solution which has been available for over a decade.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Keep in mind everyone, nintendo started out as a toy company and never lost that culture.
They aren’t your friends and they aren’t “better than the rest.”
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 1 week ago:
Glad I never bought a switch.
In fact, ever since the PS4 I’ve been strictly a PC gamer.
Seeing how Microsoft was able to lower everyone’s standards by charging for online really puts things into perspective for me.
- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 1 week ago:
I disagree, they have their place. Counterstrike, for example.
Call of Duty and Battlefield would be better if they followed Counterstrike’s release model.
- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 1 week ago:
Good.
- Comment on Nintendo stock falls after mixed reaction from Switch 2 announcement 1 week ago:
Why not just emulate and play your games for free?

- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20 2 weeks ago:
Me too.
Personally, I thought the series would’ve ended with getting to play as Desmond for most of the game, actually being an assassin in the modern day.
- Comment on This year's AGDQ included someone speedrunning Elden Ring bosses with a saxophone 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, an entire rhythm game could be made out of that idea.
I wouldn’t expect it to happen naturally, though. The game would have to be built around it.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I really enjoyed the polish of it and how it showed us what a better fallout could be.[
That said, it was woefully lacking on content and committed a cardinal sin of gaming: the ending felt like the game was just getting started.
Also, not a fan at all of whoever is telling them to ignore romance options.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20 3 weeks ago:
Assassin’s creed died with 2 when they fired the creator and decided to milk it as much as possible.
So sad what this series has become, considering its counter-culture influences.
- Comment on Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, data shows that people prefer to be advertised to over receiving a better product.
- Comment on Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make 3 weeks ago:
Rent. Greed. Entitlement. Food deliveries.
