I really have to wonder about people who still enable icons on their desktop. It’s such an inconvenient and chaotic way to launch things. I guess the iPhone mentality has made it persist to computers because those laughable things don’t have a decent program launcher.

Terraria. The best game of the last 20 or so years. No exaggeration.

No bs, great gameplay, very replayable, etc, etc. Other modern games should strive to be even a fraction of a percent as good as it.

How about making games that don’t cost hundreds of millions to make – simple, good games like we used to have back in the old days – and charge less for them?

What a concept.

it can’t be done as slowly and thoroughly as the game can

What? Bullshit. What garbage shows are you watching where plot and characterization can’t be slowly developed? Maybe stop watching bad movies and TV.

Meanwhile, what are you doing in the game? Pointless busywork to connect one part of the story to another. That’s it. You’re not doing anything but unlocking the next cutscene by a bunch of poorly done gameplay.

I cannot understand how we have gotten to this point. I guess the whole forced change in gaming in the late 90s with trash like Metal Gear Solid has screwed over the entire industry so bad we can’t even understand what a real game is supposed to be any more.

I don’t play games that try to force a huge narrative on you. Those aren’t games, they’re things created by people who were not good enough to get their story told in traditional media and not good enough to flesh out a decent game in and of itself.

Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It’s expected to be there, but it’s not that important.

In other words, set up the setting of the game and then for the most part, stop telling your story and let the game speak for itself. What a concept.

Make their friends jealous and get them a beast of a PC so they can assert dominance.

I wanted to take away King’s dictionary after reading that book. You know he saw that word and created a whole book out of it. My theory, anyway.
