How many people have flypaper’d themselves to that shit, I haven’t seen any numbers

Can’t believe Nine Sols got robbed

Take my lemmy gold kind stranger

Its problem is not that it’s woke, but that it’s shit.

Quality as well. Ass vikings had audio mastering that’s outrageously bad for a title made with so much money and the omnipresent vaseline smear of TAA in the recent titles hasn’t done their art direction any favors.

Pepe is a red flag. Not enough to ban outright with no other context, but when posted by a user who is posting bigotry elsewhere, it warrants a removal

It’s great you’ve got such a strong moral compass and are an authority on bigotry that can recognize it and weed it out, you could have been an insane person high on the miniscule amount of power tending a pile of shitposts, removing humour because of ideology. All of us the Internet really dodged a bullet there.

It’s all insultingly preachy and puerile, apart from taking me right out of the setting. GTA didn’t make me a serial killer, this whiny shit won’t make anyone a decent person.

To quote Homestar Runner, like a flaming sack of crap

Never seen mortismal and I’ve only seen SkillUp a few times. I don’t really follow or need any review at release time, I’m not touching any game that’s 50€ or more until two years have passed and it’s in the vicinity of 75% off.

Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this?

First five minutes of SkillUp’s review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone’s abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a “return to form” are written and SkillUp’s has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.

The stories have also gone downhill to accomodate new bastard genres with fomo shit

Fuck you, Ubi. Apart from all your shitty practices, it’s a 15-hour game that’s 40€ with a 50€ complete edition and cosmetics bullshit. That shit won’t fly anymore. I might get it in two years when it’s 10€, but only if your kill your launcher as a requirement.

edit: also, it came out a month ago. Learn to suck on the long tail of sales before you sacrifice your employees to Chtulhu, they’ll just make their own vaguely middle eastern platformers in Unity or UE and make more money than your shitty company.

I would be careful with such generalizations - not because I’d be downvoted into a hole (I’ve turned the scores off and just DGAF), but it’s epistemologically a bad habit. However, whatever I’ve seen so far that SBI had their fingers in does have a certain fellow-kids, safe-edgy, corporate-approved, plushie-anarchist tone, the dialogues are atrociously bad and disjointed from their theme (Sable’s postapocalypse, for instance). They can do a less funny version of Joss Whedon’s relaxed banter and they tend to stick it everywhere. But what I really dislike about SBI is that it’s obviously a grift, making developers cough protection money to add pronouns and hair colors to characters.

People robbed themselves.

Are you fucking kidding me? It’s 79.99€ on Steam and you’re talking as if the opportunity to experience it is lost forever. If it’s worth a cat shit, I’m looking forward to its proper release in 2026 at 15€ or less.

Putin will be sad

Provided as feedback: celebrity drama is not games, plz piss off with this kind of content.

I agree. We are in the honeymoon phase about to face varying degrees of eternal september and besides someone still pays for bandwidth and domains and who says it won’t be enshittified once it gains traction. This is clearly not a new paradigm.
