You know those surveys that ask if you Agree, Strongly Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree? That kind of crap? Yeah, those don’t work. They’re idiotic, because your average person doesn’t really know which accurately reflects them and they gravitate towards what’s easier for them personally to respond with.

This will have a similar effect. Lots of people won’t give the accurate reason. They’ll give a comfortable reason.

I like that they are trying something new though. Critique certainly doesn’t mean don’t try it or don’t play with it.

I played it on Vita. Was very fun.

It’s not a formality. Continuing Resolutions (CR’s) and especially shutdowns can really affect people’s lives and society at large. People who require critical resources might wind up going without.

It also winds up costing the government more overall to go through this every year.

This appears to have decent information on why shutdowns are bad:

But… they don’t. Their games are old the minute they’re released. Sure they have enough bare minimum charm to wow the masses, but when you truly take a skeptical and honest eye to them compared to many other games, you realize how lazy they are with the copy/paste approach most of the time, inability to add basic common niceties of modern gaming, and generally lacking worlds that feel unfinished.

If it weren’t for the IP name recognition, most of their games would be panned as meh.

They still have not passed a budget.

Decided to finally go watch gameplay of this game.

It’s definitely a fan ripoff mashing up Breath of the Wild with the newer open world pokemon games.

I’m not saying nobody else is allowed to make these kinds of games. But this absolutely is just trying to rip those off. Looks as unimaginative, boring, and empty as all of Nintendo’s adventure games.

They’ve stolen Nintendos IP of providing half-assed garbage and watching people eat it up.

It’s clunky and the novelty wears off quickly

Referring to all Nintendo games.

People save Google places? Who the hell needs to save 3000 of them? Wtf

Youtube shorts is fucking stupid. I never like any of them.

This reminds me of my favorite website for demonstrating shitty designs.

Try getting non-playstation games on your Playstation. What about games from older Playstation? Can’t get most of those on there. And let’s not pretend you “own” Playstation games anymore when so many require online and patches anyways.

Steam is more value for money and improved services and support. I used to be a die hard Playstation fan but it got old being treated like shit.

Steam keys can be found dramatically cheaper than all of that.

Sony doesn’t put much effort into most things.

I wouldn’t trust Sony to not fuck that up somehow like everything they do.

If you buy someone’s services, then those services end at a point. You don’t own them or that service forever. That’s ridiculous.

I feel this phrase that took off grossly oversimplifies the issue.

The real argument is that games should be seen and treated as a good, not a service.

I mean, if you’re a middle age bro with a retail supervisor job compensating to show off to teen girls, I guess.

Heh…

It installed ROMgly?

Broforce is too much fun with friends.

Hammerwatch is a pretty fun top-down pixel dungeon crawler. There are other Hammerwatch games and it’s also on consoles.

The “Lara Croft and the ________” games are a bit older but are fun puzzler dungeon co-op’s. I really liked Temple of Osiris. I think these are also on consoles, but may be older consoles.

Stick Fight is a silly brawler. Also on consoles.

Party Golf is a fun and varied party game. Also on consoles.

It’s older and I may be misremembering, but I think Hoard is co-op. It’s on Steam still and you play as Dragons in a top-down gold hoarding thing. May be on consoles, but older ones. Pretty sure PS Plus Premium streaming has this under PS3 classics.

Hunted The Demons Forge is NOT local co-op on Steam but it is on PS3 and you can do it via PS Plus Premium streaming without a PS3.

Plus most sales are the same deal as past sales, and they happen often.

To be honest though, if the price of games kept up with inflation over the decades, then they’d cost like $120-200 today.
