A lot of the most heavily advertised games are the ones people wouldn’t play without addiction models or whaling hooks, ones that require marketing to get people on board.

I’ve been pretty insulated from ads for a good bit (by design) but what is that meme one again? Raid Shadow Legends?

Nintendo does takedown like this all the time. I haven’t seen anybody actually point at evidence of fraudsters, and there is no reasonable benefit to doing this as a fraud. There is no avenue of profit.

What evidence do people have it was copyright trolls? Nintendo isn’t just assholes about this, they are the fucking poster boy for fucking up fan made content and support in the name of IP.

1. Everybody is claiming fraudsters, but I don’t see the evidence.

2. Nintendo has had a huge crackdown in the last year on mods and video content including their branded IP.

People just need to move on from this shitty company and find new favorites. Nintendo is an abusive company that does not give a shit about you being a fan. They just want to make shitty annual release clones of games.

Please stop supporting this business.

While you’re at it, please also quit buying Ubisoft games for a bit. That Star Wars Outlaws game needs to fail.

If gamers could just not put up with this shit for like 1 year, we could have significant corrective action in these teams.

I guarantee Nintendo would be begging for fan made content if they were no longer the monolith of Japanese development they have become.

As if Rockstar couldn’t do both with the fastest profit generating piece of media of its decade.

The game literally set records for profit generation against all media types on release, they could have had 10 teams working 10 different DLC’s simultaneously.

It was a choice to not focus on single player, and not a bad one.

At the end of the day, the content’s longevity goes up when integrated with GTA online and would increase the activity count, thus profitability of online.

It’s an AAA company working for a profit, not an indie title passion project.

I’ve seen more articles about this game than any other and haven’t heard of a si gle person in my office of gamers or my gamer friends talking about it.

Nothing in the advertising looked even a little appealing.

Why is this game getting so much buzz from Lemmy and this website rockpapershotgun?

Make it rain rocks bois

For real. The Outlaws planet from the trailer just looks like a knock off of the outpost planet from Jedi Survivor.

Calling it “just ark” is even more reductive than calling it pokemon.

There is more feature overlap between pokemon and Palworld than Palworld and Ark.

You’re not passing on it. You’re just refusing to be honest in saying there are no games like that.

You didn’t comment to engage what I said, you just wanted to be a redditor living a reddit moment.

I’m so fucking sick of redditors and their brain dead circle jerks where people stick their head up their asses and regurgitate the same stupid shit that was regurgitated into their mouths.

There were no microtransactions required on their lootbox system. It was a randomized level up system that could be skipped with money, similar to how people pay to speed level a battle pass.

So yea, this is all inaccurate drama. It was a shitty system that people didn’t get, clearly seeing how people still don’t get it today.

And it was all removed before the game was 1 week old, which was followed up with 4 years of free content.

Name 1 Ubisoft game ever published that they removed all microtransactions from and pushed 4 years of free content.

I directly addressed the topic, the lootboxes in BF2, so probably not.

This is quite literally the opinion I’m addressing. People hold on to this while ignoring the 4 years of free content pumped into the game.

EA did good with their 10 year license, though. People sleep on the EA Battlefront games.

Don’t get me wrong, EA tries to pull shit all the time and is a shitty company. They tried to make a shitty lootbox system in BF2 but were fairly responsive to fan criticism, and the game got a shit load of free content.

Unlike Ubisoft, who is literally carving out on release content to sell you.

So they made up a strawman to respond to.

They were getting shit on for selling in game on launch story content separately.

Fuck Ubisoft and fuck this shitty game. Also fuck anybody who buys it.

This is a weird expectation if you have seen the trailers. She is clearly being propped up as a good guy smuggler. She does a whole bit about freedom and getting out of the crime game.

The gMe is going to be absolutely shit, so please don’t go providing false hype hopes to people.

This game needs to fail, or we will be looking at $100 minimum game purchases in 5 years.

Similar boat, except my wife actually got hooked on FO76 a couple of months back and loved it.

I skip a lot of adaption shows or remakes, so she basically forced me to start it, but I wound up really enjoying it. We’re trying not to binge it all in a day, so I’m only halfway through, but I look forward to watching it.

Imagine living your life letting reddit be your filter for meaningful experience lmao.

Touch grass guy.

This dude is a shit eating troll.

In another thread, he is shit talking people who earn less than 100k as being in the top earning groups and saying they have no right to complain about how inflation will be impacting the youth.

He just says dumb shit to piss people off. Report him as a troll.

What do yall wanna bet this game gets loaded with microtransactions despite being single player?

I see a lot of MMOs being recommended, but I find them to be either shallow in combat or predatory unless you are seeking MMO specific things, so I’m going to point at single player/coop stuff.

Bethesda has a large selection of open world games, but I pretty much assume people have played all of them (Elder Scrolls / Fallout games).

If you are okay with going outside of Fantasy, the Far Cry series has some impressive technology in their older titles. Far Cry 2 is a personal favorite, your PC might be able to handle it.

Borderlands series.

The original Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen holds up. This is probably my best recommendation based on your asks.

Lego Star Wars or the Lego Marvel game.

Fable 1, 2, 3

The Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor / Shadow of War Games were pretty incredible but might be too high-end.

The first Red Dead Redemption might run for you.

Early Dark souls games might run. Maybe 1 or 2.

From here, I would start listing old Star Wars Jedi Knight series games.

I could probably go on, but this is most of the good stuff off the top of my head.

I forgot to add Mass Effect. Great for sci-fi, great leveling, and combat.
