I agree with you that some people are misguided and expect dark souls to be hard for the sake of being hard. Yes you die a lot but that is part of the game, and dying is not a state of failure but a step in getting better in order to overcome the obstacle.

I have seen people not only beat the game but do a no hit run with guitar hero guitar, dance dance gamepad and even raw potatoes. Making the game easy does not equal to making it ‘accessible’, but it does break the core gameplay loop. There are ways to make games more accessible in general that doesn’t ruin the fun factor. Check out AbleGamers they are doing amazing work helping the community which I think is one of the best ways to go about this issue.

Personally I don’t know you so I might be wrong, but based on what you described sounds like you’re doing it more as a chore than having fun

The latest one was LSPatch. Did so much for me. Last message from the maintainer was something along the lines of ‘Seems like people are not happy with the project so I’m dropping it’.

I recently found out one my favourite FOSS projects was abandoned due to bullying. It was a small project and very fresh so it obviously came with some bugs and issues which is a given. The maintainer gave up only few months after because of all the negativity.

Well you can change your ‘assistant’ in Android so not even that.

Lmao I literally bought Rollerdrome today. It’s been pretty fun and hectic so far so I do recommend checking it out

Well accrding to truesteamachievements, the percentage of people who %100 the game is %32… That can’t be right, right?

Not to say I’m not disappointed with respawn, but they handed over Apex development/maintenance to another studio in 2020

“Because I worked on the Budweiser brand, my creative antenna was always on the alert for ideas that could work for the brand,”

Funny way to describe stealing ideas lol On a side note, how they sucked the soul and joy out of a 20 second video is truly impressive

I really appreciate the amount of time and effort this guy puts into making these videos. There are so many good games coming out every day that get overlooked and I persobally don’t have the time to dig for them myself.

Ozawa has reportedly admitted that the charge is true. He told the officials that roads belong to humans and pigeons are the ones who should get out of the way.

Statements like this makes me wonder if hurting animals is so obviously evil or I’m just a hippie.

Knowing his comedic genius, I’d wager a GTA VI announcement is right around the corner

Edit: OH SHI-

Microsoft’s current decision is a stark contrast to Xbox’s motto of “When Everybody Plays, We All Win.” To build trust with disabled players by consistently advocating for accessibility and the disabled experience only to then quickly and surprisingly remove the tools that disabled players need is shocking to much of the community.

They really trade the peoples trust like currency huh. It’s not shocking but still upsetting

You gotta hand it to them, it’s mind blowing how abysmal the PvE experience is. I have seen inexperienced indie devs make so many amazing games that I can’t comprehend what the hell Blizzard is doing with their talents. I couldn’t even justify spending the time to finish the first mission.

Those two are not mutually exclusive

At least it was cheap

That sum Boomer™ attitude u got going on chief

Haha cheers to that! I really enjoyed our conversation :) I hope you have a good week mate

I agree with your sentiment, after all what is a game console without games.

What I want isn’t necessarily a unique architechture, rather I want a unique experience. I think looking at Smartphone landscape expresses my concerns much clearer. All phones today are basically just reskins of same phone in design, purpose and architechture. Sure there are some novelty phones with smaller audiences for the sake of novelty but what makes you choose a phone over the other is just marketing at this point. I’m afraid that’s where we’re headed with consoles. The difference is the home consoles are replaceable.

It’s too early to decide if it was. Yes it was the safest bet, Even though PS4 had a great deal of success you also need to keep in mind, a lot of it was because of politics. Nintendo and MS made huge mistakes at that time and Sony basically ate their lunch.

The older generations were always innovative and pushed the envelop as far as possible, but now PS just a gaming PC that is not upgradable like an actual PC. if you don’t recall, the most hyped thing about PS5 was the controller, which is not what you expect the main point of buying a new consol to be.

On the topic of exclusives, I personally hate them. I think it makes a false sense of value in modern consoles where in the past they were intentionally made to take advantage of the architecture to showcase the unique quirks (and ofc the power) of this machine in a tiny box. Now they are usually just political leverages even though the games can be ported to other platforms.

So to reiterate, I agree it definitely had positive net for Sony in the short run, we’ll have to wait and see if it will payout in the long run.
