Which goals, donating money to charity and opposing fascism? Or opposing fascism and supporting Ukraine?

Even if you can’t play the game, watching a 100% playthrough with no commentary is worth it. The story is easily the best part of the game.

At least, in my opinion.

Yeah, the other interpretation isn’t better. Either the title is critical of this or it is an incredibly obvious (verging on completely uneccesary) statement.

Seriously, it amounts to ‘Valve wants to sell more of this console they make money off of’

God forbid Valve push their great product

Haven’t played Sniper Elite in a while but I seem to remember being struck by how much they went out of their way to humanize Nazi soldiers.

Doom has Nazis?

Idk about Wolfenstein, but I have spent plenty of time in online gaming spaces.

I’m sorry, you’re absolutely right. A crucial entry missed.

Steam?

You mean the platform with critically acclaimed titles such as ‘Hitler My Friend’ ‘Heal Hitler’ ‘Hitler is my crush’ ?

I would never have guessed that the platform had a problem with far right communities. Surely the Sniper Elite folks have something to say.

be pretty cool if we could fairly easy add an option for people in a wheelchair to get them walking. Clearly you’d rather they didn’t.

Great so you missed the point entirely, just like most people miss the point of games with one difficulty setting.

Silksong is a game, bright moving colors on a screen, meant to amuse and entertain.

You’re not an elite mountaineer for pressing buttons faster than a disabled person

Crying about difficulty in video games isn’t going to stop. There are thousands of video games that are not difficult. Play those.

You’re right, difference being that what you’re saying is more akin (following the analogy) to putting wheelchair ramps on a mountain.

Silksong is the mountain, git gud and climb it or shut the fuck up.

And the idea that every game should be for everyone is the reason why Elden Ring is… kind of a bad game.

Great open world, beautiful scenery… bad boss design, which yes — that is the game.

Like, think about this in the real world setting. Think about how this hyopthetical would play out, person becomes disabled and has to sit in a wheelchair. Everyone agrees ‘it’s not fair that they can’t walk, no one should walk because this person can’t’. And then everyone sits in a wheelchair despite being perfectly abled.

Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn’t to me, I’m sorry if there are people who can’t beat these games — but damn, at some point you have to recognize life isn’t fair and just enjoy the shit you do enjoy. If being good at a video game isn’t important to you, ok that’s your prerogative. Do not play the hard video game. But this constant whining about difficulty settings and nerfs is just obnoxious.

Everyone heard Hornet say git gud. If you say you didn’t, you either didn’t play HK or you’re a liar.

Silksong is the git gud game. It is the Bloodborne 2 we never got.

Edit: also it isn’t that hard.

Good thing I’ll never be playing escape from tarkov again, otherwise I might be bothered

Well that’s a fucking dumb fix

No, but kids under 16 are hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.

Devil May Cry comes to mind, as well. If I’m not mistaken that game was entirely developed with Western audiences as the target demographic.

Idk, the game is great and I distinctly remember people crying about stuff like this with DD2.

I’ll tell you what I said then. I was not tempted to buy any MTX in MH Wilds until I started reading the comments of people crying about it.

This is a basic fucking character creator we’re talking about. If you’re so spastic that you need to change your characters model every day, we have very different reasons for playing video games.

Let me put it this way. This is Monster Hunter. Why the fuck does your character looking a certain way mean so much to you? If it does mean so much, make a new character - the game hasn’t even been out for 3 days. These problems are literally non-issues.

Edit: The game is gorgeous for me, I’m not surprised older builds are struggling. I didn’t mean to be a dick about it.

Fair enough

But NBA Jam is a game, not a bundle of perverse incentives disguised as a game.
