I very nearly burned out a brand new graphics card on Crysis when it was still pretty new because the title menu didn't seem to obey vsync directives and was trying to push 700+ FPS.

There was a noise.

Starcraft 2 did this for a while as well if you left it on the title screen. Was not capped in any way and would destroy computers.

I know I've posted this exact thing before, but I'm watching Godzilla v Kong right now

Why is it so hard to make a good Godzilla game?

Edit: joke post here

Give me a fuckin' Godzilla survival game where I have to stomp into Tokyo to fill some arbitrary guage and as you break poo poo they slowly respond by building new defenses, researching new tech, etc

Every now and then you'll go to town for a load of bread and oh look ghidorah is there sure why not

Its the same problem with a Hulk game, people always want to apply too much of a narrative to it. When it simply just needs to be about smashing larger and larger things.

My subnautica complaint is that goons praised its underwater spookiness left and right so much that I bought it with zero research, only to drop it upon realizing it's actually a resource & crafting game, which i was worn out on. I guess that's ultimately on me, but there's no way I'm not blaming goons at large :colbert:

It always a safe bet to blame goons tbh.

I think it was only done if you advance the story without completing a pretty big lore sidequest there. I mean it is kinda a kludge as that quest feels like it should be part of the main story line.

When I first played Horizon Zero Dawn, I liked its simple approach to climbing mountains and terrain - if it's not terrain you can walk on, you climb up using specific outlined handholds. It's not sitting so well after a few hundred hours of AssCreed/BotW/etc. Too many times where it's unclear if you're supposed to get to the top of a mountain by methodically finding small rocks to hop from, or if you're just in the totally wrong place and there's a defined path somewhere else. I'd rather have a more general climbing ability, I think you could even do it without a stamina system with this game's setup.

Have to agree with this.

After playing Odyssey and everything being climbable, going HZD it felt awkward to just run around hills trying to figure out the one way the game devs wanted me to climb.

Doom 3 is okay, It's better without the Flashlight mod, it makes it super easy, and ruins the tebnsion. Horror ain't what peeps wanted but it and tension are what the game delivers so don't ignore it

But have you considered the fact that I am a huge baby and don't like being jump scared in the dark. I will stick to my perma flashlight mod thank you very much.

I have a disproportionate number of games on various platforms where the "beat the story on any difficulty" achievement has less than 40% worldwide. A concerning number of them (only counting games that aren't usually bought for multiplayer like cod) have something like 70% "complete the first level".

I feel attacked. I will get around to those games eventually. Probably. Maybe.

FF14 does have fall damage.

But you can't die from it, just reduces you to 1 HP at maximum damage if I'm not mistaken.

The absence of female assassins in the franchise had nothing to do with the lore and everything to do with Ubisoft's toxic upper management who didn't think games with female protagonists would sell.

You can really see this in the fact that most marketing material for Odyssey and Valhalla were all the male versions of the character.

I imagine you might some sort of little bonus based on certaolin things, but yeah, no idea why anyone thought you'd enter the second part with like fifty levels and -ga spells on the outset.

Just make them go up in ranks as well, so like yes you have firaga, but its only rank 1 and it maxes out at 9.

Yup! It’s permanently free because they can’t sell it.

That makes sense, I thought it was just completely memory-holed and no one could ever play it again. Didn't think Microsoft would still be offering it.

I think it's based off whatever principle it is that keeps Vegeta as merely the "Prince" of all Saiyans

Exactly, there was not ever an official coronation before the previous King and Queen died so the official doctrine is that they remain a princess or prince.
