The sorry state of gaming

[C.Mongler]

to be fair that game is a hot mess on consoles right now. it also isnt that well optimized for PC either lol but it at least works on most semi-powerful rigs

[Thyme]

oh yeah i wasn't criticizing ign for doing this, i was criticizing JC3 for being a hot mess

[C.Mongler]

nice 

i guess i just got TRIGGERED because when this was posted on reddit a bunch of fangays jumped in and were like WHAT THE FUCK IGN JC3 GETS ITS SCORE LOWERED BUT FALLOUT 4 GETS A PASS THIS IS BULLSHIT

[spoiler]it's like JC3s issues are so bad it actually makes the game less fun whereas FO4 is still fun regardless lol[/spoiler]

[Thyme]

imo they should do it for FO4 too

ign actually increased its splatoon score in an update

i feel like most reviews should cuz when splatoon first released it had barely any faetures.

i mean i didnt play it on consoles because i'm a not a poor person, but its fine on PC


granted i wasn't trying to run it on extra ultra, unlocked HD textures, at 4k resolution, 144 FPS, so yeah maybe it hiccups if you try to do that, but otherwise i felt the 'IT'S LITERALLY BROKEN' was entirely exaggerated lol

oh how the mmo genre has fallen

this game boldly launched with a subscription fee in a post-world of warcraft environment

now they're so desperate that they're literally paying their audience to play it

so it went from unplayable trash to only buy if you're a fan of the genre

*only buy if your continued existence is entirely dependent on nintendo's

i thought 'ONLY??' too until i realized this wasnt limited to video games. i feel like there's a fuckton of simple projects, like recording an album for example, that clog this up with good stats. video games i feel like has to be in the 20% failure range AT LEAST

you would have to be truly nuts to give to a """developer""" publicly begging for crowd-funded handouts

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Current estimates place dev at about 2.5 years out from completion. This is 2.5 years from the time we get our full-time programmer on board. That means we are expecting early 2018 for a finalized build and 6 months for testing after that.

these idiots were freely given $1,000,000 by other idiots, and in the two years since, they've never even attempted to hire a programmer

lol
