The average gamer buys 2 games a year and plays that game over the course of months so having a bunch of quick side activities makes a 2 hour session feel full of a lot of content. Instead meaningless activities.

I think reviewers have a distinct problem different from the average player that makes it almost impossible for them to discern pacing. Because reviewers have dead lines
Anything that slows them down from beating a game quicker is inherently annoying.

Yeah I never got it either

to be fair the vita stopped being supported after the first 2 years

So I played all the old 2d mario games to completion yeah 2d mario has very little appeal to me. Surpassed by many games that came after. Yes they were first but that doesn’t mean they were the best.

Cause unlike some companies when they lose they actually just doubled down on amazing games and changed the perception of the device. Almost like great games sell consoles.

I’m starting to realize i fundamentally disagree with how early Mario is designed. Like from Mario 1 to Mario 64 is filled with aggravation. Auto scrolling, swimming , bullshit puzzles. It’s all my worst nightmares.

I’m playing Mario world for the first time holy shit I just want to play the level not this fucking puzzle shit I just want to to play the goddamn level why is old 2d Mario like this. Fuck ever boo house and fuck that fucking forest.

That’s terrifying

1. Saying piracy isn’t stealing is pure cope. If you take something physical or digital without paying for it it’s stealing. You can steal from a library too.

2. When I was talking about sports I mentioned going to the stadium and watching it

3. Why do you keep ignoring my free games argument.

money for it. Piracy can be used for social equity I completely agree but that has to be used responsibly.

people do deserve more than food and water thats why i dont see a problem piriating old shit. Like who cares. It think if you are on the down and outs you should still have hobbies but you dont need the shinest and newest things. I cant just sneak into a basketball game just because i dont have the

and i dont think its keeping big games away from poor people. if a game comes out that is expensive and i dont have the money i wait for it to get cheaper. till i can afford it. or just not get it at all. I dont feel its elitist because I'm not making fun of them.

3. ive always hated that argument. What buying a game does shows you want more of that type of game. Its why alot of franchise are dead. No one bought them so they dont exist anymore. While it sucks money is the only thing that talks. And lets not forget if a studio underperforms layoffs happen

2. i guess my stance on if games and consoles are so unaffordable for a person I would personally just get a more affordable hobby. There are tons of things i dont do because they are out of my price range like sports. also like i said free games exist new ones come out all the time.

1. yes piracy is stealing when you are paying for a game you are paying for the experience. If you are experiencing something for free that someone else paid for you are stealing. That's like saying sneaking into an amusement park isn't stealing because you didn't take anything.

bckl.gg/o94K its been a solid year for me so far in terms of modern and old games. played alot of mario for the first time. uh most of it wasnt very good

This is literally what the article said but in more words. What are you talking about are you rage baiting?

Also in a world where there are free games there is almost no reason to pirate something that’s new. Again if it’s unavailable it’s free games if a company doesn’t try to earn your dollar don’t feel bad about getting something for free they obviously don’t want your money.

should buy that hardware. I’ve also always hated the logic of “its not like they were going to buy it anyway.” If they weren’t going to buy it why are they going out of their way to steal it. The reason they aren’t buying is because stealing is the easier option.

If it isnt available i said piracy is fine, unaffordable well it’s capitalism just don’t buy it the price will go down. But also art ain’t food and water you don’t need to experience it. If you don’t have the right console you made a bad investment if something has exclusives you like then you

I think saying” we’ve done all we need to do is a good mind set. Not everything has to go on forever.

I think that only applies when something is old and not available. If a game is being sold readily and you pirate it what statement are you trying to make. Just means someone didn’t get paid.

Oh yeah I don’t know if I said this on here but Abby’s story in last of us 2 is the better half of the narrative in that game.
