Didn't Helldivers 2 ship with a kernel level spyware? I wouldn't put it on this list.

Also riddled with microtransactions and yeah it's not the worst in that regard but there's still a lot of game design decisions that are worse off because of it.

I agree, except I'm hesitant to include hell divers because of the kernel level anticheat. I don't need to give a video game of all things access to my kernel. But the general idea is right, I am playing so many fire video games all made by indie devs right now.

Lol I remember when the masses were beating their own meat just a few weeks ago saying how it's already game of the year.

How time changes things

Do you have a rundown of what that means? First time I'm hearing about this

There's also tons of REALLY good games that are made by small developers and cost about as much as an energy drink.

But gamers wanna complain rather than open their goddamn eyes.

In the same time period, we've gotten Skull And Bones, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, and Diablo IV skins that cost more than the base game.

It can simultaneously be true that the big companies are churning out cash grabs while other companies are making awesome games.

Lethal Company it's an Indie Game, so it doesn't fit in the "Game made by a Company" Category

AAA studios are making crap games recently, the more middle grade ones that absolutely rocking it.

Gamers seem to be a pretty nasty bunch of people for whatever reason. Games have never been better and are absolutely amazing atm. But many people just like to focus on all the negatives and how certain games are bad. I honestly don't get it - you have lots of choices so just don't play the bad games, it's pretty easy...

It's because gamers are dirty Cheeto dust neck beards who never go outside

Haha nice troll account, it got a chuckle out of me once I noticed the username. Have a downvote for your efforts, bravo.

Lethal Company is shit-tier stream bait, don't lump it in with these two masterpieces.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

sure if you have no friends I could see why you think this

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

My friends are too busy spreading managed democracy in the name of Super Earth to pick through shit in a game that purposely looks and plays like ass.

Mark my words as the real JC Denton, GTA VI will cause the Video Game Market Crash, it will be a Ubisoft level of bad, with xp boosters, online only, ancient gameplay, and woke Disney story telling

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I just recently finished Final Fantasy XVI and I think its GOTY nomination was well earned, despite its shortcomings. A hell of a journey.

I agree with all of these picks too.

Yeah. A few companies made good games. Doesn't mean most companies aren't making dogshit games that everyone keeps gobbling up and shelling money for

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is the way it’s been since the beginning. Way more people are going to try making something good than people are going to succeed at it. Whether it’s greed, incompetence, laziness, they ran out of time, whatever.

You don’t have to give a bad product any attention at all just because it’s “big”. The box says “Suicide Squad” not “guaranteed to be good” 😅

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

The issue this is touching on isn't that the big companies try to make something good, it's that they try to make something profitable. It's designed by the suits, not the designers. There's no passion in them. However, they have the budget to market them and control what most casual gamers hear about. It's rare that a team without the marketing budget the size of EA can break into the mainstream, even if they're great.

Is it just me that thinks helldiver's 2 was incredibly boring? It feels like cod zombies but only a tiny bit better. I decided to refund it at the 2 hour mark

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

It isn't a super deep game to me, but it is simple with a decent skill ceiling. I remember getting totally rolled on an automaton mission.

It also has a pretty good community and sells a fantasy, like DRG. I think that a what people love most about it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Never played it but I see what you mean. It and Lethal Company are both just endless repetitive multi-player missions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Lmao lethal company is repetitive, low effort, fake difficulty trash. Get tf off this list.
