Tekken 8 was great all the way up until they launched Season 2.

Yanno, on the topic of "PC games have compatibility issues"...how many of these issues likely stem from shitty DRM implementations?
How many times have we seen a game have its DRM (Denuvo) removed and all of a sudden theres a 10% performance boost?

I laughed at Mortal Kombat embracing the woke crap, how did boon not know that would lead to disaster. Street Fighter 6 dominating, like no fighting game ever before.
Even now it has massive player numbers.

4 companies are bidding/in talks to buy the StarCraft IP from Blizzard.
That's awesome. When it matters in 2035.
(*) The bad news is it'll be exactly what you don't want it to be. Not StarCraft 3, but some fps or phone garbage.

If you actually played Mortal Kombat 1 you would know the game is plagued by balance issues, just like MK11 was. Guest characters are way overpowered, kameos and long, unstoppable combos are out of control, and the grind is excessive. But you don't actually play any games.

I know it was a total shitshow across the board, but pandering to woke nonsense and adding intentionally ugly and covered up female characters, is incredibly stupid.
Mortal Kombat was built on extreme violence, gore and sexy women. In the past they laughed at the religious right being outraged by all of those things, now they are bending the knee to the feminists over 1/3 of the core pillars that made the game popular (maybe boon has some skeletons in his closet to cuck this hard).
It's funny that it shows the messed up morals of some of the western white population, showing graphic violence on women is ok but don't let her be pretty, buxom or have a swimsuit on while you are pulling her spine out. That crosses the line.
It's even more stupid to do this when fighting games are some of the most diverse audiences in gaming. So almost all the people playing the games don't want what they are pushing.

None of that is actually happening in MK, but it's always fun to watch you play make believe. Go back to Twitter and Reddit.

Wonder why this beaut didn't sell one bazzziillioonnn copies during pre-order. The design is impeccable and it earned the game a whopping 100 ESG score!

It looks terrible, I love it cause it shows the massive gulf between the artsy fartsy upper middle class people that make these games now and the majority of their customers. It's not even woke, it's just trash.
The character models look like cheap plastic toys and have awful designs (some of the female characters are kind of ok, in a weird massively over designed cyberpunk way, but most are awful), the art style is a mess cause the world and characters clash horribly (lego style stuff with real world biomes), they overused motion capture way way too much and so these plastic androids just look like random people moving around, the shooting and mechanics looks awful, there is too much mess on the screen when fighting.
It's not appealing in any way, it's sheer mass incompetence way worse than Concorde. Even the world the game is set in is depressing and shallow, who would want to be IN the game universe at all. Destiny 1/2 had problems but at least they had a cool scifi world you wanted to be in and mess around in.
It's outrageous that these companies just throw money at these things with no sense of safety, cause you know a small army worked on it. That they have this massively expensive CGI trailer, for this awful game is nuts. These people don't know how to do anything but throw money at things.
If a car company became vastly out of touch with their customers as video game development teams are, it would be like them making this.
Sony are so desperate to make something to compete with CoD now, that they are just throwing mountains of money at anyone to make anything and spending tens of millions on CGI trailers to boot.
They are out of their mind.

Ignoring RA and Godfry's idiocy, Bungie is usually pretty competent when it comes to shooters. Destiny is still going, after all. Is there a beta or anything?

Everyone I saw that actually played concord said the game itself was fine/average.
If it had just been space marines instead of space whales, lol
It'd still be generic slop, but it'd still be out. The nail that sticks out gets hammered.

Got a great laugh out of "Sony is so desperate to compete with COD." Sony makes millions from COD every year, no one is trying to compete with it at all. It's not 2012 anymore.
Just watched the trailer, it's another looter shooter. PvE with PvP featured. So nothing like COD. It's more akin to the Division.

Microsoft owns Call of Duty now, they have said they would keep bringing the games out on Sony machines for the next 10 years and then they won't. This is why Sony are desperate to try create their own rival billion dollar franchise.
They can't tho, cause they keep hiring dopes.

Water is wet, the sky is blue and RA is lying again.
So... I have been increasingly frustrated with new games over years. I feel like so much effort it placed on graphics, lighting, art style, ect and maybe 10% of that effort is placed into gameplay, controls, and story.
My latest purchase was Visions of Mana, which I was pretty excited for. Secret of Mana is in my top 5 all time, I've played Seiken Densetsu 3 translated and while I didn't think it was as good as Secret of Mana, it was still extremely enjoyable. I skipped Trials of Mana since I had already played Seiken Densetsu 3. Vision is just bad. The english voice acting was awful, the characters were bland/generic or just stupid, and I was 3hrs into the game and all I was doing to running 30seconds between CS. Felt like a slightly interactive shitty anime.
Hogwarts Legacy, Visions of Mana, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield... I felt like all of these super hyped games were absolute duds. Final Fantasy 16 is coming to PC in a few weeks and I'm not sure if I even want to try it anymore. I've heard people say not great things about it.
I know I'm just venting a bit here, but it really sucks being excited for a new game and then the crushing disappointment when it's not fun.
