This mentality is ruining gaming.

As it turned out that that included the button to purchase.

>>718864831 (OP)
take responsibility for my own actions?! AAAAA THIS AIN'T IT UNC

>>718864947
This. The only thing being ruined is the AAA industry

>>718864831 (OP)
devs control what happens when buttons are pressed

>>718864831 (OP)
I also control what garbage games I don't buy and which ones I talk shit about on the internet

>>718864831 (OP)
nope calling out stupid gamers is something that should be celebrated, it reminds me of the mentall ill retarded completionist morons who do optional stuff they dont like in open world games until they hate that game and then complain about it
How fucking retarded and mentally ill can you get?

Uh...

Didn't the last Zoom flop horribly? That's funny.

>>718865860
has nothing to do with the point being made

>>718865942
Sure it does, we control the buy button.

>>718864831 (OP)
In Soviet Russia, buttons you press control YOU!

>>718866015
what a country

>>718865582
retarded people complained that there have been difficulty slider added to the existing difficulty selection, basically you can make the game way harder than the hardest difficulty (and way harder than eternal) via creating a custom difficult in addition to the standard difficulty modes and stupid people bitched for some reason about it... despite no one forcing them to use any of the stuff and they can just go with the usual difficulty selection.

>>718864831 (OP)
This mentality ruined Monster Hunter with World as well.
>just ignore all the QOL!
>just ignore all tye OP moveset additions!
>just ignore the lack of orogression!
>just ignore that all content until the final 1% of monsters are braindead!

>>718866115
No you dumb asshole

>>718865582
People were complaining that they kept glory kills in Eternal

>>718866141
By Wilds everyone just ignored the game after a month.

>>718866141
if you bitch about optional stuff that you just happened to not like and you still CHOOSE to do the optional stuff on your own for hours on end, thats on you retards.
Open world games for example are a buffet there is food for everyone but not everyone likes every food. Nintendo was right in "rewarding" completionist retards with a golden poo.
You dont go to a buffet and choose all the food you hate and then bitch about it afterwards like a women, you just eat the food you like.

>>718865582
A guy on twitter asked if an ez mode feature to freeze enemies could be disabled.

>>718866320
yes you retarded pile of shit

>>718864831 (OP)
Devs designed their game around pressing those buttons. Why are they trying to bully me for their ass game design?

>>718866530
Next you'll something stupid like "it's up to the game developers to balance and optimize their game". Just git gud and upgrade your fucking PC, retard

>>718864831 (OP)
Until they pay Mick Gordon fairly for his work I'm not buying their shit games.

Simple as.

The post is from 2019 you dingus.
I was wrong though, it was about the stupid Predator shoulder ice bomb launcher, not glory kills.

>>718864831 (OP)
What if you have tourette syndrome?

>>718866141
>>718866440
You see this sort of retardation everywhere
People bitching about Valor GS (then still using it) even though multiple WR are held by Guild GS players

Prove them wrong

>>718864831 (OP)
There are people who play games like Smash Bros with items on or items off.

>>718865582
Game journalists.

>>718867024
The shoulder cannon was just the 2016 grenade button though. They just made it act less like a grenade button and gave you different things to use.

When people get angry at optional things in games it's because they have no self-control. That makes them angry, but they're too immature to reflect on why it makes them angry, and that they're really angry at themselves, so instead they get angry at someone else. And of course the culpable party is the one who put the optional content in the game. Literal babies.

>>718871787
It looks stupid.

>>718864831 (OP)
Missing a lot of context here.

>>718864831 (OP)
Absolutely true, and as such the buy button was never pressed for zoomternal and troon ages

Don't like shit in your food? Just eat around it, you control the fork :^)

>>718871842
It's more fun if you don't have the choice. Having to exercise "self control" is basically just creating a gay little challenge for yourself and is thematically antithetical to Doom or 90% of other games

>>718864831 (OP)
You also control the games you buy/play so why the fuck do normalfags keep crying about wanting easy mode and other shit like that?
Don't like it, don't buy it

>>718872507
It actually comes with age. In adulthood it's mentally a lot harder to justify wasting extra hours playing a game that you know you could breeze through on easy mode. As a child it's much easier to romanticize the idea of beating a game on hard mode as some sort of meaningful achievement.

>>718872715
That's not it at all. If you don't want to spend the effort on pushing through the game on Hard mode, that's fine. I'm 37 and though I enjoy a challenge, there are plenty of games where I don't care and just play them on Easy. But when people complain that there's an Easy option (or the inverse, that there's a Hard option) that they then pick because they don't have a sliver of self-control (that's what it takes, a sliver, unless your frontal lobe is basically gone), then that's baby behavior.

>>718872904
Yes it only takes a sliver of self-control, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't psychologically affect the experience. Willingly making yourself suffer through a level on the highest difficulty is a much different experience psychologically than running into a difficult level that you have to beat to progress and not having the choice to lower the difficulty at all.

>>718872715
So why exactly is it somehow the "adult" thing to do, to play games on easy mode to "save time"? What does beating the game give you? What do you gain? What are you achieving by playing the game on easy mode just to see the ending sooner? You just move onto the next game once you finish it. Why not play on hard mode and get a fulfilling experience where you feel like you're honing your skills, even if it takes longer? Playing video games is fundamentally a waste of time so why not spend the time playing maximizing the enjoyment from one game rather than gorging yourself on mass amounts of bland slop?

>>718873128
I'll be honest here, if that's the state of your psyche, you need help. You're trying to paint this as some significant change in experience. It's not, not for anyone with a normally functioning brain. It would certainly be an issue for e.g. autists. But that's ultimately their problem.

>>718864831 (OP)
No, the ape-like fucking retarded mentality that just because you can do something that you must is the problem, they were absolutely right.

>>718873194
>Why not play on hard mode and get a fulfilling experience where you feel like you're honing your skills, even if it takes longer?
This whole emotion feels totally pointless as an adult, unless it's an online competitive game or someone is watching you play or something like that. The whole "leet gamer" emotion dries up as you grow up unless its in a social context.
>>718873305
If you've never felt like you had to dig in and try to beat a hard level in a game with no difficulty settings then you wouldn't know the emotion. It's a very different feeling then just setting the difficulty level to max and dealing with the artificial challenge for the hell of it. By the way if you disagree you should represent your own opinion as a man, not speak for all of mankind like you're some sort of authority on the subject.

>>718873194
Who the fuck are you to assume that something is fun for a complete stranger or not?

>>718864831 (OP)
>This is the button I was pressing when I got a game over.
>Go ahead and tell be I deserve it. I DARE YOU.

>>718873794
There are always ways to make a game easier. Whether through changing the difficulty in the options or modding or outright cheating. That's the thing, my point is that as a competent human being you should be able to set yourself a challenge and adhere to it, even if you could make life easier for yourself. You resist this, but essentially, you do the same thing, you just require the "making it easier" to be behind another wall, like modding. Why? Because if the option's there in the game's settings, it taunts you and though you may be able to resist it, you seem to always feel like you're now the one setting the difficulty for yourself and you don't like that. Well, it's always you. I guess you just like the illusion that it's not you. Fine, but that's...a bit of a special approach that you can't expect to be the default state (though there are plenty of games that don't have explicit difficulty options anyways).

>>718866141
it is ruining mh but not for the dumb shit you're saying
>we added this boring gimmick that fucks up the pacing and tone of fights
>but if you don't do it your fights are 5-20 minutes longer!
this is the actual issue with mh, qol creep is, in comparison, a much smaller problem
i can still remember people on /v/ posting about how mhfu was casual because the item stacks in the box were bigger than the player inventory, you faggots will complain about anything in that regard, but shit that actually damages the gameplay itself seems to go over your heads probably because you don't actually play games

>Axe Man releases
>fun axe based gameplay
>Ace Man: 2 Axes releases

You control the 6 year old tweets you choose for low effort posts.

>>718873794
It's not about being a leet gamer because gaming stops being about proving yourself.
It's about getting genuine enjoyment out of each and every game you play. It's about simply not playing games that are shit, and not playing games just for the sake of playing them.

>>718874198
I'm just speaking from my own perspective. I don't give a fuck anymore about clearing my backlog, finishing games I don't enjoy or checking off new releases. If I don't have fun, I don't play it and if it's more fun on hard mode by God I'll play on hard mode even if the playthrough ends up taking months.

He's right

>>718866141
Man I hate how fucking wilds turned out, I thought they learned their mistakes since at least Rise changed some stupid shit that was on world, but no, is just the worst additions of the 2 games in one.
>Just ignore the (mechanic that the game is designed around)
>Just ignore (thing that is impossible to ignore like all monsters on the minimap all times, getting all necesary drops in 3 fucking hunts)
>Just ignore the unskippable story that is a fucking mess to even try to play with friends
And then most of the ""QoL changes"" that they have been making since World that is just removing entire mechanics or any obstacle to the player, you can't be out of potions at all when you can restock at any time for example, that is not a QoL change that is removing an aspect of the game only to make gunner braindead

>>718874658
name 4i^e games with this EXACT scenario

people rightfully annoyed by the new shitty mechanics like freeze bombs in eternal
this was the reply

>>718866115
>Set game on easiest setting possible
>Still get all cheevos
Lowest common denominator design has been ruinous. I know it's little and means nothing, so just give me my hard achievement nigger zoomers.

>>718865582
You control the buttons you press thus the buttons are merely an extension of your cognition and tied to the quantum reality of existence. By pressing the buttons you've created actions and consequences but actions and consequences for which you must take responsibility but you can also not press the buttons and must therefore be responsible for both your actions and inactions, all of which are happening and not happening in simultaneous realities running parallel to and occasionally merging with one another. You can press the button to play, you can press the button to shoot. Each action spins off into infinte words with infinite consequences that you must bear infinite responsibility for in the hyper-dimensional space between realities and the cosmic realities of your mind. Do you press the buttons? Do you not? The choice is yours as you create and destroy the realities that exist within and around you.

Dark Ages sucked

>>718878164
In your opinion, can you have half a button press?

>>718878313
There are no half-measures. You press or you do not press and must full accept the consequences.

>just gimp yourself and ignore the thing the entire game is designed around
how about just make a better game

>>718866115
>complete game on easiest difficulty
>leave a negative review saying that the game is too easy
>refuse to elaborate

>>718864831 (OP)
Based. It is a (You) issue if you suck.

>>718872507
but it is literally a fact, given the possibility gamers will optimize the fun out of the game and ruin their own experience, especially completionist retards

>>718866719
Yeah, same and more: they need to re-release the Eternal OST with Gordon on the helm and hire him to make The Fag Ages' OST from scratch.
That is the ONLY way I am ever purchasing another MOOD game.

The problem with NuDoom is it punishes playing it like a normal FPS. It's all about stupid weapon switching combos, which is flashy (and therefore gay) bullshit.
You can play it like a heterosexual, but it's not built for that.

>>718876081
Doom: The Dark Ages (over 4i^e parallel universes)

I don't control the buttons I press in the same way that I don't control the direction of my life.

>>718878098
>millennial calling people zoomers for not caring about the sanctity of cheevos

look how far you've fallen

>>718865316
This but unironically.
It also applies to sexy women in video games and the backlash to it.

>>718864831 (OP)
Half pressing it's a real thing.

>>718875283
>Noooo you can theoretically use over 20 mega pots in a single hunt
Dude who the fuck cares you are ungodly terrible if you do that, you're basically complaining about something that helps the bottom 2% of players

>>718864831 (OP)
Have you ever played a board game

>>718864831 (OP)
So what, should the game control the buttons and have all the agency instead?

The issue with this kind of mentality is that it always comes from people that will never criticize the content. So if something has valid issues then this kind of people will swarm them and say it doesn't matter, and thus devs listen to this crowd making the games shittier as time goes. I despise how MH Wilds reviews are "this game has more issues than good things but I had a blast!".

>>718880313
I want a board game where I can play with AI because I have no friends :(

>>718880554

duh, if you took a single second to read the thread before posting you would have noticed this exchange:
>>0718875283

>>718880751
Yeah because criticism can never be retarded. if somebody tells you Sonic Boom is bad because Sonic's arms are blue then by God that's a reasonable critique.

>>718880498
ok Henry.

>>718880751
I guess, this goes to show that toxic positivism is everywhere. I find it fun how some MH youtubers I followed have not made a single video about Wilds because they know any mild criticism will get them many dislikes so they just talk about shit one cares about like the MH movie lol

>Gunner can use the best ammo, craft more, then go to the tent and refill all of it every time the monster moves away
>You can only carry one max potion and craft more in exchange of inventory space but it doesn't matter because you can refill it at any time making inventory management another useless thing
Why is crafting even a fucking thing in Wilds? Is fucking useless.
Why is the Farcaster even in the fucking game to begin with? You can teleport at any time now even in battles.
But yeah, who cares

>>718881257
Same thing as the potion restock lol, if you have to go to camp to restock ammo every time the monster moves you're horrible, nobody does this. You're getting mad about theory and not the actual game.

>>718864831 (OP)
How about you properly balance the game you’re creating instead of outsourcing it to the player

>>718864831 (OP)
you're 100% correct
with zoom redditernal I pressed the refund button

>>718866440
I don't consider optimal optional. If the game designer tosses away the legacy of the game as a challenging, but rewarding boss rush, along with his every instinct as a player himself, I'm gonna attribute the failure to him.
