Dunkey is never 100% serious, but he's unironically right on this — NO WAY any console will run GTA VI like this, or even most PCs If they weren't trying to trick you with these flashy trailers, they wouldn't bother making them.

"Nostalgia" is the biggest cope for the fact that old media was better and you know because you can A-B test old vs new music, games, movies etc to young children who have no generational baggage whatsoever and they'll get it immediately

You see whining about "clunky" old games because old games lack the player assists found in newgen games, which are literally designed for actual idiots on the assumption that the average player won't be able to learn how the game works for themselves. Almost every action game now has: >strong autotracking on attacks >tons of i-frames >no "checkmate" situations that are unrecoverable; endless mulligans so the player sees "you died/game over" as little as possible >no lives, timers, scoring, or any other hard constraints on the player; failure doesn't cost anything >multi-step actions triggered by single button presses like sliding/dashing to go faster, instant takedowns, etc; no need to combine multiple actions or learn any techniques like crouchjumping, bhopping, rocket/grenade jumping >"cinematic" boss fights where the core gameplay may be totally absent and the "fight" is relegated to QTEs >strong enemy leashing that keeps enemies in tiny areas, allowing you to whittle them down with no risk They are deliberately designing games to place as few expectations on the player as possible and when someone who has only experienced these new games is shown an old game without these "quality of life" features, they call it "clunky" because the game is designed to actually be played by the player.

Even if playing uninverted didn't bother me or affect my experience, it would still be points off for the laziness. Not a coincidence for games that do this to be unpolished liquid shit in other areas.

Gaming YouTubers have fully replaced game journalists, complete with all the same tired braindead cliches and non-sequiturs. "Aw, Bungie ADMITTED they reused some world geometry in Halo 1, that proves it's Le Bad!" We'll just ignore all of gaming history then, no one has ever reused assets and still made a good game.

From what I'm seeing of the new Bond gameplay it all looks very on rails. "Oh, a catwalk fell down, press jump to trigger an automated cinematic jump across. Quick, get in this boat with a gun you can't manually aim. Now hold W for two minutes." Very disappointing.

"Oh, man, First Light is such an epic stealth game" Looks like you can just Leeroy Jenkins a room with like 20 enemies in it and the game doesn't punish you at all. Games like this are supposed to put you in your place for doing stuff like this.

Nick is wrong, we live in a very cruel time, this subject was discussed to death before most people had ever even heard of Woke. "Empathy" is a mask for imposing upon and repressing you. It creates an illusion of "mutual respect" designed to stifle dissent. What's even worse is that actual, genuine empathy is virtually nonexistent now. It has been completely replaced by this performative form of empathy that doesn't seek to understand or elevate people and instead only nags and suffocates them.

My intuition about Metroid Prime 4 was completely correct, open world ruins another game it doesn't belong in. You would have to be totally mindless to defend this. (No, I haven't played it & didn't need to to know it would be shit. It's called discernment, not everyone has it)

Video game discourse has fallen so far that we have Yahtzee describing rudely-named difficulty settings as "ableist" and whining about how "patronizing" designers are. He suggests adaptive difficulty as the best solution because "no one has to see it." What if I specifically want the game to be harder, period? Why should difficulty be a self-tuning black box hidden away from the player? This is just another step towards making games into guided amusement park tours. If I'm stuck on a difficult section or boss, I don't want it automatically toned down, I want to get better at the game and beat it. He even brings up DMC games as an example of being "too patronizing" because it doesn't give you an easy mode unless you die enough times, but you know what? The higher difficulties are locked at the start, too. Some of us would say that's patronizing. Why shouldn't I be able to choose Hard mode right away?

Beyond obvious at this point that "readily convertible to a machine gun" isn't an enforceable or reasonable standard and never was. Forced reset triggers don't fit the legal meaning of "machine gun," but these are the results. It doesn't even require permanent modification:

The blandest, most mid third-person shooters from 7th gen had more engaging gunplay than this. Look at how the enemies just magdump on you and somehow it all misses and does nothing. They flank you, but just stand there waiting for you to notice them before actually shooting.

DMC games are a perfect example of how games should tell stories — the cutscenes are brief & punchy, but densely-packed with story beats. Compare to modern "cinematic" slop that constantly interrupts the action — game storytelling is a lost art.

The Halo 2 BR wasn't a hitscan weapon, it just had higher projectile velocity than the H3 BR. And actually, none of the weapons in Bungie Halo were hitscan. Having such high velocity certainly made the H2 BR easier to use, but H3 made it more balanced (it was still very powerful)

Big Spence is right, I dislike illegals and "temp workers" as much as the next guy, but "high skill" immigration has been a disaster for the country and Republicans have done a lot to obfuscate that. They love Ind*ans.
