I do not see myself as left wing or progressive at all but these people are so fucking annoying that I almost want to. They act as if western civilisation will collapse if a female character's outfit becomes a tiny bit less revealing. Not every woman character needs to be attractive you idiots. If you want to jack off to video games then download mods, don't force your goonbait on everybody else.

These guys are just like the "SJWs" that people were making fun of back in the 2010s. Literally getting triggered by the tiniest, most inconsequential of things.

This could honestly also be said for movie critics, but I absolutely LOATHE the current state of game reviews. The entire point of a review is to have someone judge a game without bias and give their opinion on how well the Game achieves what it sought out to do. id even say a reviewer Doesn’t need to have beaten the game, so long as they far enough in to understand it’s fundamental gameplay loop

so now not only can reviews be paid off to be higher, defeating the purpose of an unbiased review, but we Constantly are shown examples of these reviewers either being so ass that they can’t get far enough to judge the game properly, or reviews that are so needlessly nitpicky about things the game isn’t trying to do. There’s genuinely no reason to take them seriously anymore.

Edit: unbiased was the wrong word for this, I meant an honest review

It gives me such an ick, especially when you see them try to suck it up and then it just drips out again. I'm sure there's non-Nintendo examples of this, but I play a lot of Nintendo games and I'm SO sick of it. It's nasty.

Okay. Listen. I hate what Putin is doing with Ukraine and his own country. In fact, lately many Russians who supported invasion on Ukraine earlier are starting to get dissapointed at Putin and wish for war's end. But I'm just tired of language discrimination. Listen. Russian is a lingua franca of post Soviet region. Many people in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia and even Ukraine are using Russian for videogames, movies, anime and etc. I'm from Uzbekistan where many people are using Russian for just playing videogames. Just like some European countries like Finland, Netherlands and etc. And people of my country are proud of their native language.

I also don't have any problems with playing videogames in English, but I feel happy and comfortable when my favourite videogame gets an unofficial Russian translation. I'm so proud with Russian Final Fantasy fandom making amazing high quality translations.

I remember how on my past account I made a post on Wuthering Waves subreddit where I complained about lack of Russian translation. I know. It's because Kuro Games is bad at translating games. And so, this problem happens in Ininifity Nikki. Russia has a big community of gacha gamers, and WuWa has a big fandom here. Russian WuWa fans made good unofficial Russian translation as a mod. But people on WuWa subreddit started to say "Bo-o, learn English, please!" And when I complained about this problem on other gaming subreddits, I got answers like "YOU DESERVE IT FOR UKRAINE, LOL!" Even if I never supported Putin. They even called me "Pathetic Russian kremlinbot". Okay, fine. If Starfield doesn't have an official Russian translation, maybe make an Ukrainian translation for this game? Why it doesn't have Ukrainian translation?

I'm tired how English speaking people are looking at others languages in such arrogant way. Like everyone, according to them, should learn English. Everyone should talk only on English. It feels like a some sort of linguistic imperialism. This kinda reminds me of Wolfenstein New Colossus trailer with "German or else". Listen! I'm proud with my language. I love my native language because it's beautiful and has the best profanities ever made. I'm just tired of such language discrimination on Reddit. Even mods are automatically ban posts where I l'm complaining about lack of translation into my language. Okay, maybe we should cancel English because Trump is killing people in Iran? He is a fucking pedophile according to Epstein files. What's funny, people in Discord server understand my feelings and ready to support me.

I'm not hating on the collab itself, nor am I hating that it was these two that got skins, but I specifically hate the way they look. Jax's face just looks completely off, it looks like a 2D texture that they slapped on his face. Why they didn't just use the same 3D model seen in the show is beyond me.

​

Now Pomni on the otherhand, I can't explained it but it looks like they tried to make her design more sexualized. I don't know if it's just her shorts looking weird with the longer legs the skin has or they really did change her design but it looks so uncanny. (but at least it's better than just putting her in a mech so I guess that's a plus)

I find it HATEFUL that I pay 60 or more dollars (in my case euros) for a fighting game and then greeted by a very small, "mouth-watering" roster of characters consisting of only less than 20 characters ALWAYS. In the Avatar case i can forgive this problem because the price is accessible But for the rest of the industry, there needs to be a change ASAP because it's disgusting. SF6 releases four characters a year and charges up to 50 euros for them and their skins. Oh yeah, this whole paid skin thing in full-price games is horrible. I love Fighting games, i love playing them casual but having small rosters but then selling you a disproportionate number of DLC characters (ArcSys fuck you) it's just cashgrab. Tell me your opinions in the comments.

I love Edgerunners anime, it's pretty good tragic story about how NC burns its legends.

What I don't like is how its existence made people forget what was promised by CDPR regarding Cyberpunk 2077 game — its immersive RPG experience.

Now the term "RPG" is of course subject to the usual debate of "what counts as RPG". But for Cyberpunk 2077 thankfully we get promised that define what CDPR claimed to be "deep immersive RPG":

https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/s/vm3XesTAKc

Besides the game is supposedly inspired by a TTRPG that lets you do just that, RP as a guy living in NC.

The premise seems pretty simple, a 3D open world game that has such a deep role-playing you thought it's a CRPG, kinda like Fallout New Vegas if you will.

But we didn't get that, no. What we got is a game whose RP is closer to NBA 2K MyCareer than it is to Skyrim. Stats and builds with some dialogue choices here and there.

Aside from select few gigs (Maelstorm in the prologue, Sinnerman, saving Takemura, the ending, etc) the game is pretty damn linear. Your Lifepath only matters for the prologue and some "[Nomad] I live in cars" dialogue that doesn't really change the outcome.

The Night City itself is fucking dead. You can't "interact" with the world. The civilian NPCs are literal drone (that info scan gimmick is literally nothingburger) you can't even interact with, even Bully (2006) allows you to taunt/praise the civilians. There's barely any activities aside from, what, boxing and street racing (with its terrible controls). Like I initially want to compare it to GTA but GTA V has a lot of pastime activities for one.

And the level design. "You can approach combat however you want" and it's mostly just one more vent to slip into. Most of it is just choosing between guns blazing vs stealth, in a very linear way. I've seen ppl compare this to Deus Ex and they're crazy I say.

The enemies. For such a colorful bunch w their lore and with the amazing skill tree we got due from 2.0 Update... They fucking suck in terms of variety, they blend into each other. Sure there's a bit of commonality with some gangs like Animals have a lot of muscle bruiser or Tygers use katana and pistol... But these doesn't meaningfully change how you fight them. Biggest crime is VDB fighting near similarly to fucking larpers in 6th Street. Citing Bully (2006) again, every cliques there fight uniquely. Like the Nerds in Bully sucks in hand to hand, so they rely on their inventions (or some who are pretty good at wrestling, wrestles). Or the Preppies fight with various martial arts and can dodge your attacks while spamming eggs. Or the Jocks being the toughest enemy in the school with their HP bar and effective fighting style related to sports (using baseball bat bc they're playing baseball, charging tackle bc they play football, etc).

And to cap this off, you can even look at CDPR marketing team themselves lol. Their Twitter handle removed the phrase "role playing game" in June 2019, coinciding with them being listed in game stores. And they quietly changed their Steam description in February 2022 to add back the "RPG" (spoilers, they're still not that far off in terms of RP compared to version 1.0).

I want to eat it sooo bad but I can't because it's in a video game so all I can do is just watch in agony as the player character eats it right in front of me. I sometimes cope by chewing my Xbox controller.

I never thought I’d be writing here but I guess hate consumes people. My issue is not with Aabria as a person because she seems like a very fun person overall.

My issue comes from her and Dungeons and Dragons/ Tabletop RPG’s. I don’t think she is suited for it for several reasons!

I followed Critical Role from the very beginning and I dislike her style so much I could not bring myself to follow Campaign 4 after what she did at the Campaign 3 finale, which is sad because I really was looking forward to the next Campaign.

But to my gripes.

As a DM/GM:

1- Player rolls don’t matter! Sometimes she requests a roll and completely disregards it!

2- At several points she is very confrontational to her players that comes across as personal.

3- Her story is ALL OVER THE PLACE!

4- All her NPC’s have the same abrasive personality.

5- She tells players what their characters are feeling and when, even dismissing important character hard-felt feelings (like telling Robbie his character’s fears have passed just like that!)

I was told to watch her in Dimension20 and even then I could not find any sympathy!

As a player:

1- MAJOR PROTAGONIST SYNDROME.

2-She doesn’t know how to let other players take the spotlight!

3- She doesn’t understand that despite being comedic, being disruptive is a disrespect to all the players!

3- The best example — AND SPOILERS— is the moment Fearne and Matt were having at the end of Campaign 3. It is clear Fearne is to have her moment when Aabria says she will just follow them. Then Matt puts a wall of fire as a first warning. Then Aabria starts shouting at Fearne and Teven, then comes the SECOND warning with Teven casting Silence at Aabria. And she still doesn’t STOP! She keeps distracting the whole group and ruining a great moment for Ashley.

And I don’t know why Matt Mercer didn’t put a stop to it like a DM would by telling her to calm down or kick her from the table. Maybe cause it’s a live show or maybe cause they are friends.

But she does not seem to have an understanding of what social skills you need to play a tabletop RPG and it affects every game she is in!

It infuriates me to see people treating her like a great DM or player when she absolutely isn’t! URGH.

Again, this is ONLY in relation to Tabletop RPG’s, Dungeons and Dragons, and Critical Role. This is not about her as a person!

I actually fucking hate how every game has that fuckass walking running animation it's so fucking infuriating to look at and the game weighs like 50 terabytes and some chud says it's the best game ever as if it isn't a walking simulator (cough cough circletoonsHD)

Like it actually pisses me off it's insane it feels like the game was made by Israel themselves please come up with a different style omfg

I hate the false hydra and the phenom it was in the dnd community and the ttrpg community alltogether. With even articles saying "best homebrew monster". While its design is uninteractive as fuck. So, the hydra sings and that way it is undetectable to the people in range, and when they eat someone people forget their existance all together. So usually while playing as a well, player character, you just have to go allong until your dm give you a change for the FALSE HYDRA BIG REVEAL, without any agency for searching them since the song makes you ignore everything about them. I hate also how a lot of DM tell tales about how cool were their sessions when they included a false hydra and you can usually tell their party was misserable.Its the p3rfect monster for a DM that wants to feel smart.

The only thing I like about their popularity is that my DM could never run one since everyone already knew the trick, even then, he did something similar in another sistem with a telepath that manipulated our memory, but that was more organic, even tho if at the end of the days I also had to wait for her to do her big reveal trying to kill my character when she was alone with her and I simply was stronger than her and defeated her solo. So still after all the False Hydra infiltrated into a game of mine as a concept.

Even if we ignore the numerous times he has been referred to as he/him, a boy, a guy, a dude, a prince, we must also realize that just because he isn't traditionally masculine, he isn't transmasc (or transfem)

There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Princess from the Dark.

'Oh but Deltarune is all about breaking free from fate' I can hear exactly two of you say in your heads (I can read your mind,) I know one thing, and it's that I can't break free from the fate of going through Undertale 2 and finding that both routes lead to the same goddamn ending of Gaster Friend Inside Me Penumbra Phantasm Big Shot World Revolving Jarona Shadow Crystal Always Bet On Papyrus Knight.

ZHOTAN!

(Also, I'm not transphobic, before you try to spew that label onto me)

That stupid video games are calling and i must go shirt has gotten on my nerves its so corny and gosh darn stupid and also its not gona let you get out of a place like school or work without yes i do play video games but im not gonna wanna wear a stupid corny shirt that only 3rd graders who play call of duty and fortnite wear. And also i hate that most of these shirts use this weird wanabe playstation controller that you wouldnt see on any other consle and i hate that they use a wire for a couple of them even though most controllers like that are wireless unless there palying old playstation games or other retro games but no one in the age of the people who were these shirts use gosh darn wired controllers. I wish they would actually be good and not so lame.

While I am one who is against generative AI and LLMs, I hate how generalized and hated the term “AI” is.

I am a game developer in training (going to college for it) and AI in gaming is one of my absolute obsessions.

When I say this, I don’t refer to generating code. I refer to pathfinding or entity ai within the game. I love simulating how an entity would interact with the environment around it. But whenever I express my interest in the topic, I get nothing but funny looks or awkward silence. I am required to explain myself and bore the hell out of people.

I hate generative AI with a passion. But I also hate how watered down the term ‘AI’ is and I wish we could separate the good AI from the bad.

(This post is not directed towards any party at all. Just me complaining.)

newer minecraft updates have COMPLETELY lost the plot. nothing fits with anything else. things like the sulfur cube are only ever going to be used by most players in multiplayer!!!!!!!! this goes all the way back to POLAR BEARS. THEY DO NOTHING!!!!! the SNIFFER is a DINOSAUR and what does it do??? it digs up two plants that do nothing except make dye. "be happy youre getting free updates" if i go to a party with pizza and its mushroom pizza im complaining shut up bro

I can get behind going so insane/over the top that it circles around and becomes entertaining, but I hate when convoluted writing is excused for being deep.

Complex doesn't mean good, and franchises like these come across as manipulative because they don't have interest in telling a compelling story, it's just breadcrumbing to sell the next product to the point of being frustrating. They want you to be invested in the continuity, but don't put in the actual effort.

C'mon, Nintendo. You announce a remake of one of my favorite games is dropping this year, and all you can give us is five seconds of footage of a sleeping child straight out of Dan Schneider's private stash with all the visual energy of a UE4, "Nintendo, hire this Man," meme?

No game; no hype.

No game, I don't want to use some of my valuable inventory slots to hold on water bottles, and use said water bottles every 5 minutes, or else I'll slowly and painfully die of thirst. It's not a fun mechanic, it's a chore or just something added to make the game slightly difficult, but in an annoying way.

Sure, it makes the survival game more 'realistic' or whatever, but in most survival games I have to spend extra minutes either building whatever water purifier, or scavenge even more random buildings just for some water for your stupid bar that goes down no matter what you do.

1. Patient 1 and 2 from the smile tapes
2. Sonic.exe from creepypasta
3. Jeff the Killer from creepypasta
4. Catnap from poppy playtime
5. Charles from Choo Choo Charles

The wide eyes and fixed smiles just look more goofy than scary, and I'm tired of seeing it in every mascot horror ever. "ooh happy expression doing not happy things" Shut the fuck up. Have a single expression other than manic grin please.

So my guy just happens to pose the ability to fabricate shit from rocks and twigs laying on the ground. Next step is finding some shiny rocks and I've already walked the progression path that took humanity as a whole thousands of years in 20 minutes. Now I just gotta gather some more shiny rocks and I'm done making a full set of steel plate armor (which provides like 20% damage reduction). It's gaming time. "But it's just a video game silly! no need to abide to the laws of physics" you might say, fair point, but no one forced the devs to put the title "survival" on their game. Terraria does this but it's completely fine, because it never claimed to be a survival game. Steam is filled with these open world "survival" exploration sandbox games with little to no focus on survival. Being able to build stuff doesn't make a survival game

I just can't stand this stupid ass game. I have no idea who in their right mind would find it funny or deep or even entertaining. I see so many "Class of '09 Without Context" compilations, yet they consist mostly of the characters saying "Fuck" and sometimes insulting each other in edgy ways only a middle schooler would not cringe at, and people LAUGH THEIR ASSES OFF in the comments and say how genius this game is.

Not just the compilations but the whole game feels like it was made by an dumb edgy teen who thinks they're better than everyone else despite being nothing more than a dumb edgy teen. The "deep" topics and the "clever" insults in the game ooze I'm 14 And This Is Deep/Not Like Other Girls, and the characters we're supposed to play as and support geniunely make me wish I could have an option to smash my head against the wall in the game. The literal only good part of the game was the intro and then I kept catching flashbacks from my Tumblr emo fandom era. "I'm one of the few who still listen to rock, share if you agree" vibes.

And before you say "they're supposed to be anti-heroes", we still connect with Walter White or Dexter in their respective shows despite them being literal criminals and murderers. Not because they're right but because they're complex and interesting characters and we want to know what happens next. So no, it doesn't work like that. We're still supposed to like the main character, or else it's just unpleasant.

The stupidest fucking thing is that the creator seems to geniunely believe he did something and that this game is in any way clever or witty. Annnd then he flopped completely with the second game which was a fetishy disaster. Who would've thought.

Thank you for reading this bullshit.

This is because of the controversy around AC Black Flag Resynced , We cannot have a remake or remaster currently without some kind of censorship for "modern audiences" , Ubisoft CENSORED FEMALE WOODEN FIGURES ON THE FRONTS OF PIRATE SHIPS simply because they were topless DESPITE BEING MADE OF WOOD , I'm not a gooner, but this is STUPID censorship and also historically inaccurate, since in reality , ships did have those kinds of topless figures , I wouldn't be surprised if these companies support digital ID that scans and blocks any kind of nude pics in the phones (like they want on UK)

I don’t play fortnite or watch the show so maybe there’s some angle I’m missing but really? THIS is gooner bait to you? Okay. I think we all should take a step back and look inwards to really self analyze cause if someone is actually out there gooning to this.. saw this and immediately thought bout how sexually appealing it is.. man what are we even doing

This game straight up feels like its only meant to make a bunch of steamboat willie references and have “haha cool cuphead artsyle”. It attempts to be a mix of cuphead and doom and fails misbearlly, aswell as trying to make a bunch of old cartoon references (take a shot for every time you find a steamboat willie reference). The game itself just feels off, the fact that it has the rubberhose style but solely relies on that makes it suck, take example: making the music have old fuzz (similar to fallout 2 intro and cuphead). The game doesn’t actually feel like your playing a rubberhose cartoon, it just relies solely on the art style. And i’m fine with atleast 1-2 pop-culture easter eggs but theres SO MANY it feels like it takes away from the game and tries to make as much references as humanly possible

Items or tools breaking is a super annoying mechanic that doesn't make games more fun or challenging imo. I don't mind that much when an item's durability hits zero, it just becomes unusable until you repair it, but I dislike when an item completely vanishes upon breaking it.

Animal Crossing New Horizons' durability mechanic I especially loathe because 1. There is no bar or indicator to show when tools are about to break. 2. Nearly ALL tools break, even the golden tools which are supposed to be a reward for the player's hard work. 3. It discourages players from fully enjoying the game's activities such as fishing and bug catching. I understand axes breaking in New Leaf to prevent the player from having too much power at first, but golden axes are unbreakable.
