Yes very much.

And you define “satisfying” as “that one shot anything and trivialise everything”?

What I read is “boohoo the game is too hard for me”

You have an authoritarian view on competitive gaming. And you’re saying this should be a hard requirement for hardware development. That’s an extreme point of view.

It’s video games we’re talking. If some asshat is cheating in a video game, that’s irrelevant to hardware development.

I mean, do also endorse softwares that plague your kernel to prevent cheating? Why don’t you use special hardware for your competitive gaming if that’s so important?

The world doesn’t live around competitive gaming.

That’s not hijacking code. That’s working on a data flow.

So you argue that video game anti-cheat should prevent good technology from existing. Cool cool cool.

Going that way, there’s no reason to completely lose a fight in BG3. You can flee and resurrect everyone, unlike in most tabletop games.

Which leads to what I was saying : if tpk is the doing of the party, through its decisions, carelessness and/or poor play, they deserve to die.

It’s not a good dm that fudge rolls and adjust difficulty. It’s a dm you like. And it’s a game you like.

Why are people so hateful of this game still to this day? It’s beyond me. Don’t pretend it’s worst than most games, it’s not. The only difference with any other buggy game is the mess that was made on Internet and medias.

Breaking news! A publisher discover what a saturated market is!

I’m playing Irarus, lord of the dead lately. It’s very similar to darkest dungeon, but easier.

Thea (1 and 2) is noticeable for being a 4x roguelite. It’s also the slave mythology, so quite original in that regard.

Ironically CP77 has better steam ratings at its launch that starfield has.

Shitty press rating, tell me more about it… Again, steam rating show CP77 better than starfield. At release both.

Ouh I touch a sensible subject it seems!

Statistics from your ass. There’s no more to talk if you deny the reality of things.

Expecting outdated hardware to run a game is never expected and it has never been. Crysis for example even based its communication on the fact it couldn’t run on even 2 years old hardware. Supreme commander was notoriously hard on the hardware. Hardware before the advent of multiplatform had a life expectancy of between 2 and 5 years.

I played the game at release and I finished it before Christmas, so before the January patch. I had no bug whatsoever. The game ran smoothly from start to finish.

I’m a pc gamer. So I know to beware of pc spec for a new game. Sorry you were fooled into thinking the game would work fine on an outdated machine. But cdpr was quite nice with it and the refunds. Which should prove their good faith. My friend couldn’t get a refund for starfield.

It’s not whitewashing when the statistics talk for themselves.

That is exactly what anecdotal evidence is. And that is precisely why it’s not relyable.

Did you have the game on a hdd or an ssd? That was a big technical problem of CP77. On an ssd it worked perfectly fine.

Bland, rushed and full of bugs is an exaggeration and very subjective. Starfield is worst on that aspect.

Again, look at steam ratings if you want to see an objective rating of the game since launch. CP77 had 20% of bad review despite the flaming even on media that never talked about a video game before, and that is since the first month of release. It’s a bit early for starfield but current evaluation is at 28% of bad reviews.

Starfield has a worst launch than CP77. That is a hard fact.

The game simply didn’t work on outdated hardware. No one in good faith is denying that.

Bad faith is taking example of the game running on outdated hardware as reprentative of what the game was.

CP77 worked perfectly well on the hardware it that was able to run it.

On the other hand I have friends unable to play starfield because the game crashes regularly. Their computer can run any other recent game like CP77 or BG3 for example.

That is anecdotal evidence. I’m not saying starfield is unplayable. Unlike you are saying CP77 was unplayable at launch, which is wrong. It was unplayable on outdated hardware.
