outrage culture and negativity within the gaming community is at an absolutely ridiculous point. it feels like people don't know how to be constructive with their criticisms.
I think maybe it's less that it's reaching new heights and more that developers have gotten so scummy and shitty that even the smallest thing being mildly irritating is enough to piss people off.
If someone releases a good game, people will sink their teeth into it and love every minute and ask for more. If they release Destiny 2 and sit on their ass twiddling their dicks while the community evaporates despite having pages and pages of subreddit posts asking for the same things, the only time they're going to get praise is on fucking April Fools.
Self-deprecation isn't funny. People only do it just to get attention.
I love BL2, particularly the ultimate mode and the op levels (72-80). It's not hard with the right weapons, and if you play it safe. The first 50 levels are boring, and the fun begins when you have the skill points to unlock two and a half skilltrees.
I like L4D2 more than L4D1. The southern theme is fine and the lack of leg models doesn't bother me in the slightest (seriously, what's up with that? Helps with immersion? -- I don't see how).
I love Star Trek Enterprise. Although I am biased here, because it was my first Trek when I watched it first back in 2005, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Seen the rest of them of course almost seven years ago, and it's kinda hard to pick a favorite. They're all great in their own ways I guess.
Outrage gaming culture is like my ultimate guilty pleasure, I love shamelessly shitting on games I've never played.
Honestly I always found leg models to be more immersion breaking than the other way around. I'd rather see nothing than badly animated legs that float over geometry and twitch around when you spam WASD
It's really good in the Mirror's Edge games though, mostly due to its context
I think it's mostly that games have gotten way more safe, less adventurous, and have gotten too wrapped up in business practices to actually create creative and memorable experiences. Triple A titles have been really bad with this, but the quest to make everything accessible and esports has also had negative effects on other titles as well. At this point I mostly play older games, indie releases, and the occasional good Japanese AAA release.
While I think 2017 was a pretty good year for games, it also had a lot of really negative trends that are becoming increasingly common, concerning, and exhausting.
Discord's Light theme is perfectly fine. Y'all need to calm the fuck down
The people who were seriously pissed off about the @someone stuff on Discord have an actual broomstick up their ass and should just take a step back. It's ridiculous to see how upset people get over nothing.
Hating a game (or anything for that matter) because of it's "fanbase" isn't a valid excuse to hate that game.
I feel like i might get shanked for this, but i personally feel like HL1 is better than HL2. HL1 is so much more faster paced and gunfights don't feel like you're constantly you're the worlds deadliest tortoise having to constantly find cover.
gunplay is a lot better in hl1
That's what I said silly, it's HL2's gunfight that aren't fun. Unless you're agreeing with me?
I meant that guns in hl2 feel weak af to shoot
True,but in the case of for example Minecraft or Undertale,where people dislike it because of the Youtubers or fanart of it (basically the fanbase),it's not a valid reason to dislike those games.
Green tea kit kat is disgusting
Cadbury chocolates are too sweet
Indian desserts are fucking diabetic.
Not to mention HL1 having an immeasurably better atmosphere.
Iron Sky wasn't a bad movie and I'll definitely watch the sequel
Matcha KitKat sucks. Wasabi KitKat for life.
Well I mean it has to be because otherwise Hershey's chocolate tastes like bland, creamy chalk.
@everyones make me fly into an immeasurable rage. That's why I've suppressed them on every server. People who don't do that and still get mad at them are just dumb.
You can use @everyones for legitimate purposes tho, it's people that just do it for a meme that are annoying.
It should just generally be restricted to mods at least.
Here's a very unpopular opinion that facepunch will most likely bully me for.
There's nothing wrong with having a fetish as long as it doesn't involve scat,children,torture or abuse,animals and dead people or animals.
That's a pretty popular opinion, at least among anyone that actually has any understanding of sexology.
And even some of what you listed can be pretty harmless, if someone wants to say, do some torture shit in a consensual, controlled environment, then there's nothing wrong with it.
getting mad at pings of any kind is just silly
it's the same kind of infuriation as having your earbuds ripped out of your ears. Something about them being indistinguishable from PMs pushes my buttons.
Tbh as long as it's consensual and done safely as can be, you can mark all of those except children and animals off.
Two adults want to do something together? Go for it, it's not my business what they do in their spare time when it only affects them.
Even for those, it's kind of interesting because we don't really know if there's a positive or negative correlation for animal/child abuse when a pedo/zoophile wanks to that stuff.
Ofc, the same rules apply if you're gonna do that, it has to be consensual (e.g. illustrated. not real shit.)
It's a disruptive distraction that wastes time
I distinguish children/animals as separate from illustrated children/animals, so I'm talking purely about real ones here. If someone wants to check out Shadman's works for their fap material, I take no issue with it, because unless he's using real children as references, none are actually harmed.
