When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man’s Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I’ll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

    Took me a while to realize what you meant by that list of games. I thought I was on the piracy community so I was thinking “why would I want to pirate any of those???”

    Reviewers won’t give anything below a 70% and marketing material is just that. Also, it rubs me the wrong way when a game’s first section is full of scripted stuff specifically to “trick” reviewers, who invariably go “WOW look at the scenic shot here!” As long as it keeps working they’re going to keep doing it. Bad ratings and record sales, why would they change?

      There’s no such thing as reviewers for video games. Anyone actually critical gets blacklisted quickly. It’s just more marketing at this point.

    Is there anything non-indie that’s released in the last 2-3 years and hasn’t been an absolute shit show on launch?
