Commander Keene posted:Don't get me started on the groggier end of the Shin Megami Tensei fandom, who think that being able to choose what skills your not-Pokemon inherit in fusion and the ability to save anywhere wreck the game balance. Mashing in and out of the fusion menu until you get the result you want was definitely what made Persona 3 and 4 good and not having to do that in Persona 5 definitely ruined the game completely.

Ghostlight posted:Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn is an objectively better game than Command & Conquer Remastered because it asks players to insert the CD, establishing a vital hook to the outside dimension, while C&CR is wholly self-contained, an abomination of modernity. It's hauntology to install the old C&C games now, like how the save icon is probably difficult to recognise if you don't know what a floppy disk is.

Quash your conveniences! A truly good RTS has adjacent-only construction and sandbag-inchworming around to put guard towers next to your base, no construction queue of any kind, all purchases bodged together in a single beast of a menu, no new-unit waypoints, lovely pathfinding, weird unit balance, terribly-acted video cutscenes... It was a great game though

I get the feeling Termnix’s favorite game must be Elite: Dangerous. I don’t even remember Wildstar but if that was the dev’s reaction to being asked about conveniences, I guess that’s not a surprise. Where and when was that gif posted, anyways?

Quicksilver6 posted:I get the feeling Termnix’s favorite game must be Elite: Dangerous. Iirc it was in response to people complaining about how hard the game was and how much work you needed to put in to do high end content since the game was only for HARDCORE PLAYERS who were tired of WoW catering to FILTHY CASUALS. To give you an idea. This is the process you had to go through to get started raiding. Not the raid itself just getting the ability to do a raid. You had to do this for every character since the attunement was tied to the character, not the account.  Also there was a bug that would make this impossible to finish and the devs response was to just make a new character and start over.

Don't forget that the raid devs would literally follow guilds into the raids to watch their winning strategies, and then buff the boss to make their strategy impossible.

Oh it was worse It was because people killed a super bullshit hard dungeon boss after it was nerfed a bit. It was neigh impossible to kill, and when one raid got close, a dev hosed around with it during the fight specifically to keep people from winning. It's the most sour-grapes DM-antagonizing-the-party thing I've seen in video games.

Cernunnos posted:How have there been multiple MMOs with Absolute Virtue scenarios? Power has a tendency to bring out whatever latent psychological problems people have, even the most trivial authority over some meaningless virtual fiefdom. Which probably has some connection with the tendency for game modding communities to generate epic meltdowns over the most laughably-inconsequential poo poo.

Yeah WoW never intentionally designed their raids to be unbeatable to my knowledge, it's just that in the early days their internal testing on raid content was not great and a lot of their first drafts at dungeons ended up being way harder than they intended.

Also many of the mechanics and skills were poorly understood even by the devs, if not outright broken or simply nonfunctional. There's a reason why WoW Classic stuff went down quickly.

So apparently there some drama in the Doom modding community where some edgelord put out a mod where you among other things kill zombie holocaust victims and when people complained he doubled down and then took down the biggest repository of DooM modding assets. https://twitter.com/DominicTarason/status/1402485736755056642 mod thread where people start bringing up the issues with the mod: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/71736-wolfenstein-blade-of-agony-achievement-ideas-p13/?page=13 Starts at the latter half of page 13 and continues until the modder gets banned at the end.

In the process, she is deadnamed and misgendered. The character named after her is also a shitfaced drunk who jokes about his huge dong. Other tribute characters fared no better, to be fair -- the guy named after Enjay is an emaciated prisoner making GBS threads in a concentration camp outhouse. I can only pray Torm never sees fit to homage me. Edit: oh god there's even worse poo poo later on in the thread, seriously, what the loving hell?
