Date: May 22nd, 2025 1:28 PM Author: embarrassed to the bone glittery crackhouse The game had an immense amount of raw soul lurking just under the vanilla high fantasy normgroid fairy tale meadows' and forests' surface. It was tinged with punk stylings throughout; "jankcore" as a treasured aesthetic found parts of its wings in TES4's character design and quest stylings Important thing to remember is that the game was originally rated "T" at release and was readjusted to M a few months later to some opprobrium (this was back when people cared, or pretended to care, about ESRB ratings) after parents complained about the e.g. sacks of digested bodies spewing offal on the floor, gigeresque flesh-wall vaginas, and the general darkness of the quest themings as you get further into it |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 1:39 PM Author: misunderstood exciting theatre I just thought it was ridiculous how the main quest was going to the Same randomly generated Hell Map 15 times. The difficulty slider is also emblematic of poor western game design. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724596&forum_id=2).#48953935) |

Huge lore/worldbuilding fuckup but also understandable considering how ambitious the project was at the time (and Bethesda, at the time, wasn't the gargantuan multinational that it is now) The difficulty slider/poor scaling was a major issue and still is in the remake afaik Shivering Isles was a GOAT expansion pack though and one of the last ones that I really remember being worthy of the "expansion pack" title and not just the comparatively lowly "DLC" classification |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 1:48 PM Author: misunderstood exciting theatre The problem is that we’ve been way too open-minded towards western games and it’s resulted in their hijacking the zeitgeist. This is all a result of Xbox bringing PC games (mostly competently Engineered) onto consoles. But western Console games always sucked and shit got all mixed together. This is why there are more YouTube videos complaining about assassins creed than there are about Elden ring. In the 90s you fucking KNEW which games were good. In this century there are a million false flag Titles that we have to sift through. And if we get frustrated they tell us to play Western Indies. Go play mass effect you fucking liberal. And if Andromeda gets you down you can play Cuphead with OYT. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724596&forum_id=2).#48953975) |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 6:07 PM Author: aggressive roast beef university This is the most consistently damning proof that you're Just Cowshit btw. Nobody else on the Planet thinks Death Stranding is a Triumph compared to Baldur's Gate 3 or whathaveyou. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724596&forum_id=2).#48954746) |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 6:11 PM Author: Topaz Fanboi I haven't even played Death Stranding yet. I have played Baldur's Gate 3 and I agree that it is good, though the Marvel-movie plot is kinda lame imo.
Anyway, there is nothing more damning than Gamer Consensus imo. It's just a sad fact that most "gamers" are retarded and have Scummy proclivities and barrel-scraping standards. |

Date: May 22nd, 2025 7:15 PM Author: misunderstood exciting theatre I tried playing Mass Effect and I just felt like I had just smoked a blunt and it was 2007. Okay, it's an "RPG," maybe it has a story and lets you make Choices. But the first few minutes it just feels like an FPS. And they do that for a reason. They did that so that the Halo audience would feel right at home. As long as a gun is at the bottom of the screen pointing forward, the Xbox fandom will play it.
