NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Because there are manchild faggots who think they are owed something due to committing their lives to video games instead of being adults.
Not even, I doubt most on that forum play games, they mainly complain about whatever progressive stuff that isn't in them.

The average Kiwi user who's never played a game are more into gaming than them.
 
I think one of the funniest things about the whole situation is that you can really tell, REEE posters are walking on egg shells when they post. They are walking a tight rope over a volcano. Hoping they are not the virgin that gets thrown in it.
All the posters there know, what the real problem is. Gay's can't stop having orgys in bathhouses and the ones who get hold of kids end up passing a visual mark on to their victims. Look at them all bugging the fuck out, because their programming is dividing by zero. So they have to put so much time an effort in to posting to make sure the mob don't turn on them.:story:
The only thing i would say to them is. You made your bed, now die in it faggot.
Just saw this on Twitter, and he's now also getting it in the Twitter replies:

If you don't think they'll use the fat stacks Immortal made as some sort of barometer for what they can get away with in other games you're stupid or naive. Imagine defending Blizzard in tyool 2022.
It's pretty rare that any publisher has pushed a P2W scheme in a premium-priced retail product. EA tried it with Battlefront 2 and got absolutely ruined. Blizzard understands differences between the two different markets, and the expectations of each. I don't think there's any way they can ship Diablo 4 with progress-boosting MTX, and expect it to survive the backlash.

FIFA and Madden. Two of the highest grossing video games around. Both are also EA properties and exist regardless of the Battlefront 2 backlash. The only real post-release attention the games get are focused on the P2W game modes. Pretty much the entire game is a P2W mode and a bunch of other modes that are designed to corral you back into the P2W mode. It makes them a shitload of money and is probably the main reason EA is financially solvent. They've gone as far as to hire addiction health specialists to act as consultants for improving the game's abilities to exploit people with addictive personalities. Entire countries have banned their methods of making games due to it being predatory and directed at children for the sole purpose of creating a lifestyle pattern in kids that will turn them into lifelong customers.

But yea, that tier of the industry will see a bunch of angry forum posts and realize the error of their ways and deliver next time. It's always next time. "We'll do it right next time" has turned into the ultimate promise that gamers will believe over and over again until they're so dejected that they stop playing games altogether. I loved still being interested in video games as an adult, but I've really gotten away from it over the last few years because of how god awful the industry has gotten, and the Diablo series is just going to be the next example of it.
 
I never quite got the self-righteous backlash over this game. I might understand if it somehow represented the future of the franchise, but it's a mobile side-project at best.
A lot of that's has to do with a botched introduction. For starters, most of Blizzard's fans lean towards hardcore PC gamers. A bit of console gamers from console ports, and they'd had success with a mobile version of Hearthstone, but Blizzard's big titles have all been PC games first and foremost. Not exactly the crowd you'd expect to get enthusiastic over a cell phone game that was obviously going to be Blizzard's own take on Chinese pay to win games, to the point it might even be just an asset swap.
Yet somehow that's exactly what Blizzard expected them to do. Diablo Immortal wasn't announced as some side project, it was announced as the next big thing for the franchise, with no other announcements for the franchise and while Blizzard didn't have much else going on in its other franchises. Leaving Blizzard caught off guard when the audience was unenthusiastic at best. It had nothing else to announce to mollify people, and their presenter stuck his foot in his mouth with his 'don't you have phones?' comment in his desperate attempt to get something resembling agreement or approval out of the audience. Blizzard even responded during the Q&A after to an inquiry about the possibility of a PC release with a 'no', basically snubbing the people who might even try to be optimistic.

So at the time of it's announcement, it did represent the future of the franchise as there was nothing else in the future announced and they were hyping Diablo Immortal as the next big thing for the franchise. Diablo IV wouldn't be announced until the next year, and it wasn't until a day or two later that Blizzard was even prepared to say it was working on other Diablo games in a corporate announcement that got much less press.
So it was pretty natural the PC gaming fans were unhappy with this apparent shift in direction for the series from PC games to mobile games.

If Blizzard had announced that Diablo IV was in the works at the same time - even so much as a name logo and the announcement it'd been greenlit for PC - and emphasized that Diablo Immortal was a side project, then they wouldn't have gotten nearly the backlash they did. It still would have gotten panned, but a lot more people would have just ignored it rather than get angry that Blizzard expected them to be hyped for such trash.
 
This country, and therefore the world, is doomed.
Nice knowing you all.

Nah, nevermind, the Chinks would never allow this.
 
Hey guys, don't stereotype, it's toxic! Heterosexual men have sex with other men all the time, why single out gay ppl?? /sneed

On another note, I'll never understand how these psychopaths "restart" a game so many fucking times, especially an open world one, and repeatedly do that because they get "bored" of it, instead of just fucking beating it. Just seems insane and sociopathic.

Nah, I get this one. You start a game, drop it at some point because you’re an adult and have better things to do than play a 40 hour open world game to completion, you come back in a year and decide you don’t want to start from the middle of a story you don’t remember.
 
I think Blizzard has enough sense to know that this P2W shit will not fly in a $60-70 boxed product, and will not fly with the people who regularly buy the PC/console Diablo titles. Diablo Immortal is a different product for a different audience. Plenty of other developers have shitty microtransaction-driven versions of their major franchises, and don't let that stuff bleed into the PC/console version.



The thing is that half the people complaining probably wouldn't even bother spending the hundreds of hours it takes to get a perfect min-maxed fully geared character.....especially in a mobile game. It seems like most of the hardcore Diablo fans just want an endless fucking grind anyway, so they should be please that they can grind the shit out of this game.

I think Blizzard fucked up by porting the game to PC, which raised expectations somewhat.
what do you mean they don't let stuff bleed to their pc/console version? the last 5~7(?)years have seen proper big box releases getting microtransactions(not expansions or proper dlcs mind you) more and more, yes a lot of it is cosmetic but so what? we used to get that shit built in and integrated with the game itself, alternate costumes were very tied to in game challenges and shit something you almost don't see anymore today, and when you do you often have the option to bypass the challenge and just buy it straight up.
Now, I don't think that's the case with blizzard and diablo immortal, mostly because blizzard has been doing it even before it got announced(lmao in-game shop in a subscription mmo) but its still fucking deplorable.
The thing with microtransactions being used to just "skip" progress is that content gets developed based on that, suddenly the grind gets a big larger because being able to skip it with just 4 EA COINS is easy and cheap and you'll get it anyway with the WELCOME TO $GAME PACKtm that everyone gets when they first log in, or if they just fulfill 6 days of login rewards. Those things slowly get so normalized that devs do it without even thinking about it, but there's also plenty of them doing it maliciously.
 
Gay men not being whores challenge, difficulty: Ultra-Nightmare
Much like how the Black community has a toxic 'Gangster Rap' culture problem that teaches young and impressionable black youths they shouldn't embrace responsibility to make something of themselves and teaches them that living as a thug in the streets is the only way to live life; the Gay community has an irresponsibility problem where a lot of them don't want to take the few minutes to put on a fucking condom if they're going to whore themselves out to 20 different guys and that's because Progressive politics tells them that they shouldn't take any responsibility when it comes to sexual relations (such as putting on a condom or learning more about their panther's health history for that matter) and they should also ignore any of the consequences that comes with whoring out (like not putting on a condom or not using other safe sex measures when it comes to having casual sex with other people will increase the likelihood of contracting an STD or something).

It's really difficult to break the stereotypes about being gay when a lot of gay men would rather embrace the stereotypes than say actually taking responsibility to help tear down said stereotypes that apply to them anyway.

The most glaring thing about Monkeypox coverage is how they absolutely refuse to use one of their favourite "don't question the narrative" tools and sprinkle in the magical phrase of "...which disproportionately affects people in the LGBTQ* community.".
The most glaring thing is what they don't say. All the "trust the science" "stay indoors or you'll kill people" "force people to get vaxed to protect everybody else" rhetoric has completely vanished from ResetEra (and Twitter lefties in general).

You know how in 1984 by George Orwell, the totalitarian superstate always changes the narrative on what country they are at war with, "Oceania has always been at war against Eurasia" and "Oceania has always been at war against Eastasia" and it goes on. The novel doesn't directly explain to why the superstate decided to alter the narrative on who's the enemy country they are at war with but the most likely reason we can safely assume is that something came up that would contradict the whole narrative and therefore Oceania's ruling party IngSoc changed the narrative that they were always at war with Eastasia instead.

A year ago it was 'Trust the science' and 'Get vaccinated or you're a danger to the world' back when the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak and now that's being thrown out the window because with some drama within the LGBT community the whole forced narrative of 'Trust the science' is being thrown out in favor of the new narrative now.

Since ResetEra is a forum filled mostly with political extremists (that happen to adopt Far-Left politics) , they're adopting the new doublethink narrative of 'Don't trust the science, if you do then you're a bigot towards the LGBT community' which is the same cult-like behavior you see in dictatorships and religious cults for that matter.

This is why ResetEra aren't preaching 'Trust the science' anymore because the people that run ResetEra are the cult leaders and the ResetEra users are the mindless sheep that will believe anything then.
