You still aren't reading threads properly, are you?

Yeah, it is annoying when people post generically with no care or thought put into it...

Welcome to VGR.

Surprisingly, there very little in terms of a price difference, they're both about the same.

There are few things in gaming I hate more the the PC Masters-of-thier-parent's-basements-at-best race. It's just immature fanboyisum from pathetic, insecure little boys and I'm glad the idiots who call themselves PCMR are so rare on these forums. As a PC gamer, I am wholly embarrassed by them.

I think it was more the fact Fallout 76 was a broken pile of hot garbage is what bothered the fans most, the cheaters and exploits was just a small part of it. I did here about the new DLC, it's going back to the Pitt... from Fallout 3... because, Tod Howard was out of ideas? Details from RockPaperShotgun.com

Like I said, I define freemium as some very insidious and predatorially monetised, so the short answer is no. However, that doesn't men I haven't found some decent free-to-play games. Neverwinter, Eternium, S.W.T.O.R, War Thunder, Warframe, Genshin Impact (I admit that one does have some really dodgy monetisation, but there's far worse) and Rocket League to mane a few. And not just to get this thread back on topic, I'd also give a shout out to Fortnite. I'd never play it, it's not my sort of thing, but It does seen to manage it's free-to-play model better than other games do.

I couldn't care less if you like it or not. The concept of "freemium" is a free-to-play, but very insidious and predatorially monetised game. I call it "freemium crap" because "feemuim" is "crap". Hence, it's "freemium crap". Deal with it.

Farming is posting anything at all with no care as to what you are posting, just getting as many posts in as possible. It's easy to spot people farming on threads like this because just like how you lot can't be bothered to type a post that takes more than a few moments to type, you equally can't be bothered to read posts that take more than a few moments to read. Because you didn't read this thread nor it's opening post and decided to make a what was a very generic response to this topic that didn't acknowledge nor address anything in the thread, this was easy to spot. Anyone who actually read the thread or least the opening post and payed any mind to what was going on in this game would not say. Seriously, read the topic. Anyone who wanted to play this game after having read and understood what was going on with it would have to be a complete idiot. At the very least, they would have more to say than this; I can even prove you didn't read the thread. Here is a snip of you activity history, more specifically your activity history surrounding the very post in question: Pleas note the times. You'll notice that you posted the reply a the "Gotham Knights PRG" thread at 8:41 AM on Friday (That will be my local time). You then posted the reply in question at 8:44am, that's 3 minutes later. Do you expect me to believe that you found the thread, clicked on it, read and understood the then made a genuine effort to compile a relevant reply and it typed out in three minutes? No, you didn't. You clicked on the thread, quickly put together a generic reply. Bang, done. Next post, which is also 3 minute gap. Don't you dare insult me by insulating that I don't know exactly what it is your doing. You can't waste time actually reading what people post, you need make reply's, as many of them as possible, go go go! Quality, relevance and insight be dammed, just put in anything, it all counts the same. Why spend 10 minutes reading threads to help you formulate an interesting and relevant reply when in that 10 minutes you could get 4, maybe even 5 one sentence posts in, right? Fuck you, not on my threads. That's what why I called you out and I'm not letting get away with it. Don't reply to a topic of mine again unless you're actually willing to put the bare minimum of effort into it, and by that I mean actually fucking read the topic! This is a complete lack of respect for me not as mod, but a member. Everyone who spends thier valuable time to create topics of discussion for you deserves the respect of people to at least read the topic before replying, we don't create threads to give you a new field to farm on. If you keep doing this, I promise trouble. And the same goes for all of you.

Thanks for the input. I see now how this can work, but only @Justin11 can confirm what he was on about. I will say though that you are a testament to what is possible by just posting with care and rushing as I wouldn't have even known English wasn't a first language for you. You are absolutely right that people like @Justin11 who consistently make posts so badly written and poorly thought out that it's difficult to understand them have no excuse. The staff would be more than happy to help if they're struggling, but the never ask for help because an incomprehensible post is still post, it still counts, so they don't care. Anyway, back on topic. I do see what @Justin11 is talking about with digital games. Scratched disks and dust are real nuisance. I don't like to amid the benefits of digital distribution, but I have to be honest there is a convivence factor to it and and you don't have to worry about keeping the games in good shape or risk them not working. That is a genuine advantage.

Let me put it this way. That's the equivalent of buying around 13 full priced, AAA games. So for the same money, somebody got 13 proper, band new, full sized games, whereas you got skins for one game. Still think that was a good deal? Face it, you are an asshole publisher's dream.

First off, a PS2 games come on DVD's, not CD's. Second, a PS2 doesn't have a hard drive, so how is what you describe even possible @Justin11?

So, in other words you post should have read like this... right? The fact it took a whole paragraph to explain what it was you were trying to say says it all.

Over the last week or so, a situation that started with a YouTuber under the name Quantum TV pasting his take on Elden ring has spiralled out of control into a controversy that literally threatens the next Adpocalypse. Here is a summery of the situation as I understand it. A YouTuber with a little 60k subs working in the niche AV community on the internet doing things like reviewing TV sets and producing guides for optimising displays, decided to do a review of the video game Elden Ring. Fair enough. I won't link the review as I don't really wanna send this guy traffic, but what he put up was what most of the gaming community consider a bad take on the game. He didn't enjoy the game and implied that video games should be made for everyone. I'm going to break of into a slight tangent here because, I am actually going to defend the guy to some extent here. I may even agree with him to a point as well. People who have been on this forum for some time know I feel about From Software's games. Every time I've played one, for a number of reasons, I've not enjoyed them. I don't like thier game's approach to difficulty as in the philosophy of it, I don't like thier inclusion of certain inconveniences like not being able to pause and I don't like how sluggish and enfeebling the games feel to play, but that's me. I also don't like thier lack of accessibly features, like a difficulty slider. When Quantum TV made his take, I'm not sure if he meant that all games needed to be made accessible to all, or if all games needed to be made for all. It's important to distinct those not just because they mean different things, but because one I strongly agree with, and the other I really don't. Accessibility features I'd say do need to be included in games now, there's no excuse for it. Allow people under more difficult circumstances to enjoy thier games, I don't think that's asking for much. I also see no reason any game (with some expectations like interactive narratives and some platformers) should omit a difficulty option. It doesn't take the challenge away and lets people who are more into for exploration and the storytelling experience to enjoy the game thier own way, and that's fair. What I don NOT agree with though is that every game should be made for everyone. You can't make a DOOM game that's meant to appeal to Candy Crush players, not should Square Enix make a Final Fantasy game to appeal to Call of Duty fans. Likewise, From Software, despite everything I've said, should not make thier games for me. Thier games are not my thing, and that's fine, they should do exactly what they do and make thier games for thier fans. I don't know what one of those applies to how Quantum TV feels if either of them, but moving on. How anyone, including Quantum TV, feels about Elden Ring is not the issue, it the insanity that has come in the wake of the video that's the real problem. Several Youtubers found Quantum TV's review of Elden Ring and disagreed with it, many making thier own videos reviewing the review, so to speak, offering how they feel about his take. On the odd chance Quantum TV is reading this, welcome to the internet. People are gonna have a take and an opinion on what you say and they're within thier right to do so. If woke the morning after your review to find most people disagree with you, then too bad. What you do not have the right to do is abuse the copyright system to try and remove videos critiquing your video. Even if they were, let's say, "harsh", you pull you balls out of the cabinet, strap them on and behave like a man and deal with it. You do not abuse the copyright system just because your precious feelings were hurt. Those videos obviously completely fall under fair use. It doesn't end there, though. Well known game reviewer The Act Man was one such Youtuber who had a take. Not only did Quantum TV try to get his video removed, Quantum TV called his mother to claim his son was being mean. I know what he was trying to do because this has happened before and it was hilarious, but this isn't the same thing. This was funny when Alanah Pearce told the mother of a 13 year old who sent her explicit, sexist, misogynistic messages what her son was doing, it's just petty when you tell the mother of a grown-ass man he didn't like your opinion on Elden Ring. An already frustrated The Act Man who had been doxed not long before then did something that, we all have to agree, was a bit stupid. He put out satirical, jokey tweets about doxing YouTube staff and harassing people, and YouTube demonetised his channel. The also supported a claim that there was something sexual in one of his videos where he put up a pic of a cucumber near Quantum TV's mouth as some sort of joke, which is bullshit. Whilst all this is going, no action is being taken again Quantum TV over various violations of YouTube TOS's like the aforementioned abuse of the copyright system (YouTube themselves acknowledged that the videos claimed were fair use) avoiding bans, doxing, harassment as well as Quantum TV's now deleted social media with a history of racist and horrendously homophobic comments that were liked on his YouTube channel, but no. The Act Man get's his YouTube Channel demonetized over a sarcastic doxing tweet an a cucumber near some guys mouth, whilst Quantum TV tweets he wishes death on the LGBTQ community, harasses people, actually doxes people and abuses the copyright system, yet nothing is done. The snowball is already rolling. Philip DeFranco has already interviewed The Act Man on his channel and it's only a matter of time before this story get's the attention of the mainstream media who HATE YouTube. When they do, they'll show how a childish, extremely homophobic bully who abuses YouTube's own copyright system to harass and silence people he disagrees is allowed to do what he wants on the platform whilst innocent creators get penalised for nothing. Especially given that it's pride month, advertisers will very likely stat pulling out of YouTube and thus could well trigger another adpocalypse. And all of it to tend the ego a slimly little prick who reviews TV's. This has got to stop. YouTube for thier own sake need to take appropriate action here to avoid this from happening. Pleas, check out YouTube and you will find videos from the likes of ReviwTechUSA, Boogie2988, SomeOridinaryGamers, Optimus and many others who have been covering this story better than I have and can offer the facts in more detail. There's too many videos for me to cover here, just go to YouTube and look up the keywords to find out more. #JusticeForActMan

What the hell does that mean? How does a person "slip off to" something? How would they not now about it? Why would they not agree to it? What the fuck are you talking about!?

What has any of this got to do with the subject? You want to talk about the price of old consoles, talk about the tice of old consoles on an appropriate thread. Why is sticking to thread's topic impossible for you lot? I'm getting sick of this.

I know it's me that kind of started this, but I think that's enough of real world Peal Jam now. There's an entire sub-forum dedicated to music and there you can post and discuss these clips to your hearts content, but can we please move this thread back on track now? Thank you.

Even with all these re-makes, Capcom are still putting out new Resident Evil games as a respectable pace and they're quality games, so I don't really see the problem.

Why would the PS% be Sony's last console? And more to the point, why is this game proof of that? I see no reason to believe the PS5 will be Sony's last console on account of this.

Very well. Thank you for the assurance.

If you really were harmfully addicted to games, I feel compelled to ask you something. Before I ask though I want to be clear I am not trying to drive you away from the site and that you are very much welcome here. I'm only asking this because as a mod our member's welfare is my top concern. Is it really ok for you to be here on this forum? You being here just looks like the equivilant of a recovering alcoholic hanging out at a bar.

Diablo IV WILL have microtransactions and DLC. Blizzard have already responded to concerns about Diablo IV's monetisation, and in way that offers no confidence whatsoever. Quoting from an article by Eurogamer. "To be clear, [Diablo 4] is a full price game built for PC/PS/Xbox audiences," franchise exec Rod Fergusson tweeted yesterday. "We are committed to delivering an incredible breadth of content after launch, for years to come, anchored around optional cosmetic items [and] full story driven expansions," he wrote, before promising more details soon. Putting that through the cooperate bullshit translator, Diablo IV will be a "live service" with season passes and cosmetic microtransactions. They didn't mention the gameplay affecting microtransactions because they didn't want be exposed as liars when the game comes out, otherwise they would have specically said there wouldn't be any. The fact they are even talking about DLC expantions what will likely be well over a year before the game is finished is a very bad sign indeed. I didn't trust this project before, and thier "assurances" have only made me trust it even less. Fuck Acti-Blizzard

The first thing I need to point out that Diablo Immortal was released on mobile then on PC hours later, literally the same day in most of the world, so there was no gap with mentioning. Also, as far as I can tell, diablo Immortal does offer cross platform between PC and mobile, so it's hardly a selling point Diablo IV has over Immortal. It's not like I doubt the level of customisation Diablo IV will offer, I'm only wondering how much of it will be paywalled, as well as what else be paywalled. I'm not expecting it to be as bad as Immortal, but I am expecting Blizzard to import at least of the systems from Immortal into Diablo IV, it's only a question of how far they plan to go. Frankly, I couldn't care less about the lore or setting of Diablo IV and how it differs from Immortal, that's the last thing anyone complained about with Immortal. They uses Immortal to see what they could get away with in terms of monetisation. After looking at the feedback, they will put whatever they think they can get away with from Immortal into Diablo IV, I guarantee it.

@Clasher I edited your post to embed the video. And I'm calling it now. After the disgusting shit they pulled with Diablo Immoral... I mean... Immortal... in fact I was right the first time, they will say "We listened to you" and not do all the same shit again with this game. They'll peg it back, but not remove it completely and expect to be praised for it, and there are idiots out there who lap it up. Well, not me. You can't see them announcing this game barely a week after Diablo Immoral launched and call it a coincidence, they want to distract people from the multitude of PR disasters they are going through. At least some of the horrid systems from Diablo Immoral will be in this game, I know it. I have no faith in this version of Blizzard to deliver something for the fans, but that's not my main problem. I personally refuse to discuss Blizzard or thier games without bringing up the sexual misconduct and harassment the company has been guilty of. They don't deserve your support and you should consider what this trailer is not showing even more that what it is.

What is the point on replying to a thread you didn't even read? And before you say it, there is no way you read anything here with ANY sense care or diligence, otherwise you won't have replied with anything even remotely positive. I'm a little concerned about you and I'm getting a strong feeling that, just like some others on here, you're here to farm posts. you've only been here a few weeks, don't follow the example of people like @Heatman, @Head_Hunter and @Boblee who couldn't care less about what they post as long as they post something.
