It’s just normal part of games industry now. It’s all about hype.

Yeah it just shows how people will accept any garbage as long as it appeals to their *sensabilities*

I remember when everyone was preaching about how bad microtransactions are and to not preorder. Those are both normalized as if no one had a problem with it in the first place. AI will be the same.

I mean games are just another way to experience a story … right?

And what is the best version of pacman in your opinion?

I like pacman as much as anyone else. I was just going off of the visuals, but it seems pretty sick.

What’s so good about this one? It just looks like a more graphically advanced pac man.

How exactly did you get into it?

I second this. I became interested in shmups because of Mark’s channel, not that I haven’t played some before. After seeing Shmup Slam earlier this year, I became a “fan” of the genre despite having played very little. I can’t wait to become a “veteran” one day.

How do you know your game is “built different” if you know little to nothing about what came before? How arrogant can you get?

I think quality of discussion depends on the type of spaces you occupy. I like to think WE (people who follow you and/or Mark) have pretty decent discussions. Tbh the discussions we have, most gamers aren’t willing to engage with. Most people simply have low standards imo.

Do you mean infighting or just them in general?

I honesty don’t understand the whole “modernization” thing. The only games that need an “update” are broken and/or unfinished ones. Yet only the classics get that treatment. There is no logic there other than, “new thing good.” It seems to me that the medium of games is subjected to this the most.

I’ve noticed other people coming to the same conclusions. This is from a podcast called WoolieVersus. The guy on the left does another podcast with Supereyepatchwolf (the guy in the video above).

Honestly I think that a lot of games are designed with that in mind. Let’s call it “player choice.” RPGs, open world, and of course CAGs. I could say it’s for accessibility reasons, but I’m sure plenty of developers genuinely like it.

Bog admits DMC is superior!

There is no way that is true.

Why do devs love the sucky succ so much nowadays?
