Re: Suda 51 Says 'Everyone Cares Too Much About Metacritic Scores'

homelesscretin

Sadly, a surprising amount of gamers lack the ability to form their own opinion. I don't even mean this as an insult mind you.

The amount of people that will say "X game is bad, because IGN gave it a 7/10 (which isn't even a bad score) therefore I will never ever try out this game myself, even though I really want to" are plentiful.

A review is another person's opinion. A piece in which the writer tells you their thoughts about whatever media they've consumed. Whether they like it or dislike it, it is NOT definitive judgement ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Ultimately that's what Suda and Mikami are getting at. There's nothing inherently wrong with Metacritic. But gamers using that as the be all end all of how a video game should be perceived is insane.

Re: PS5, PC Disaster Concord Is Now Officially Offline Indefinitely

homelesscretin

Like most people, I don't really care nor ever will care about Concord. But I can't help but feel for the developers.

Imagine spending the past eight years putting blood, sweat and tears into your dreams only for it to be unanimously rejected by the masses.

Hope the people at firewalk can pick themselves up after this.

Re: Until Dawn PS5 Is Priced at $60 / ยฃ60

homelesscretin

Seems like people have forgotten that an until dawn movie is also in the works.

Similarly to how TLOU part 1 sold really well (I think) thanks to new interest from the HBO series, I'm sure Sony is planning a similar outcome for until dawn. Guess we'll have to wait and see if it pays off ๐Ÿ‘€

Re: Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Gets First Real Look at Explosive Gameplay

@Veritas7Ax Don't forget a certain character from a certain JRPG as well๐Ÿ˜‰

I just LOVE his voice so much man. Something about it that's so silky, so satisfying to hear๐Ÿ˜‚. Don't wanna sound weird or anything but there's some voices that just sound so GOOD. Voices that can't be replicated. Feel the same way with Ashley Johnson and Robin Atkin Downes.

Re: Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Announced for PS5, PS4, and Yes, It's an Arena Fighter

homelesscretin

A lot of people hate arena fighters...

But I love them๐Ÿ˜‚. Yes, there's a lot of them that suck, but there are a lot of great ones as well. Ultimate ninja storm, budokai tenkaichi, pokken, Arms, power stone, gundam versus, kill la kill if.

Arena fighters have a lot of potential but unfortunately most of the time that potential isn't realised. But when it is realised like in the games that I listed above, you're in for a great time.

Re: Video Game Leaking Culture Has Hit an Embarrassing New Low

homelesscretin

Honestly these Internet dweebs are so icky about any lady on the Internet, bonus points for being East Asian.

But to role play as a young Japanese lady and even going out of your way to speak in broken English is insane.

Like I'm equal parts laughing and shaking my head๐Ÿ˜ฌ. It's weird as hell

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reveal Trailer Is Already the Most Disliked in Series History

homelesscretin

Honestly speaking tho, I hate the constant outrage and negativity that surrounds pretty much anything related to entertainment. Whether it be a film or a game, there is always something that shouldn't have even been considered controversial to begin with๐Ÿ˜‚.

Edit: Funny thing is it takes away from the things one should be critical of in the first place. You're complaining about a black dude in a videogame when the real problem is Ubisoft's absurd pricing schemes๐Ÿ˜ญ

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529

homelesscretin

@Mintie Seems like it was a big fat gurthy bomb for SEGA unfortunately๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

But I think that's what I find so weird. You have plenty of games that perform abysmally initially on launch, or aren't received super well critically yet later on they become cult classics; This doesn't seem to be the the case at all for Binary Domain๐Ÿฅฒ.

I hope one day it gets its moment in the spotlight. Lot of memes can be made from this game I tell you๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: Looks Like This Is the New Lara Croft in PS5's Next Tomb Raider

homelesscretin

Again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what do people even want anymore with female characters?

People use to complain about reboot Lara's character design from Shadow, they've listened and gone back to her original design and people now have an issue with the very thing that they wanted in the first place ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Re: Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash's PS5, PS4 Platinum Looks Like It'll Take Some Time

homelesscretin

Aside from a few outliers, more often than not anime games are rushed arena fighters but this one in particular confuses me.

It's from the same developers behind the one's justice games and it looks like a complete step down in terms of quality.

One's justice 2 is a great arena fighter in my opinion that's sadly been forgotten over time(due to the I.P not being as popular as it once was I'd imagine), and everytime I see footage of cursed clash I become incredibly disappointed. Like I have a soft spot for sh*tty anime games, but this one looks really bland.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) - A Slick, Satisfying, and Royally Robust Metroidvania

homelesscretin

Rayman origins/legends, child of light, valiant hearts and now this. Ubisoft seems to always kill it with their smaller projects, but only seem to make a small amount of them.๐Ÿ˜ข

Like the EA originals(I think that's what it's called) label, I would love to see Ubisoft focus on making fantastic games that aren't necessarily triple A.

Incredibly excited to try the lost crown some time in the future!
