i get & kind of agree with your point, i guess i'm just looking at the bigger issue as a whole. i do think in a lot of cases it's super feasible to just. play something else. or to wait until you can afford to upgrade your pc, etc. but i think the trend in the gaming sphere (esp triple A titles) of not caring for optimization and expecting consumers to just keep up is a little concerning for the future of gaming. i think gaming is already something that's inaccessible to a lot of people for inescapable reasons (required internet access for most games now, having to purchase consoles or a pc isn't cheap, etc.) and with with the way optimization is becoming more scarce i think it's leading to a future where new releases will be entirely unreachable for a large portion of the community which is an issue that should not exist. if 60% of your target audience can't afford to play your game, what's the point?
yeah definitely. &i did somewhat feel this with the new dragon age, there were so many just.. pointless visual effects on the screen, most of which i couldnt turn off, and i couldnt help but think "would this game run better if it didnt have these...?" while style is important, i do think game studios should be focusing more on WHY you need a game to be in a certain visual style. why do you need certain filters etc. veilguard didnt even look good, imo, so whats the point... But also like. games are for two types of people: people with powerful computers, who care about their computers being top of the line and able to run anything, updating whenever they can and people who will buy a new console every console generation, because games are pretty much guaranteed to work on the latest consoles. and unfortunately if you are not a rich pc gamer or a slightly less rich console gamer, you might not be playing the big hits. but like, thats why you get a console, so you can play without needing to worry about an upgrade for several years. Idk. ive never had a console and i just play what i can play. but there are a lot of people out there with consoles. and it seems to be going fine for them, bc if games dont run on consoles theyre promised on, theres usually patches and more work done. I also dont really care about the AAA audience or studios and if the studios go under... Thats not my problem i dont really care if they live or die. Maybe the world would be better off without call of duty,? If gaming companies are fucking us over with optimization, theyre fucking themselves over, and if they have to shut down.. well that's on them. I have other games to play. (& like, when i say innovation in triple A games.. you know whats the kinda shit im talking about its game awards shit its not call of duty its like, god of war, red deaddedemption, death stranding (...2!), elden ring, baldurs gate 3 (not really triple a, but the reach and success can make it feel like one). (Im not personally interested in all of these, but im interested in what they have done for the medium.) of these games that have released, theyve had issues and most have been fixed. And most of them have done things worthy of discussion, even if they take up a lot of space and people like to complain about that. We can only hope interesting games arent dead on arrival because of poor optimization, but it seems most of them havent been.
#mostly i just hate the discussions around this that are just 'if a 6 year old piece of shit laptop cant run a game its not worth playing!!'#like..#uhhh. youre fucking stupid. go back to stardew valley or whatever you can play that game forever. go play undertale. we dont need millions#of games that are like that.
omfg i dont know what im gonna wear im about to die
im so hungry but i have no food in my house... but i dont wanna go out and get something but everywhere is closed anyway... ok i have fruit and im gonna make a smoothie but i want something salty. I'll die

when Trump says "no restrictions on Israel" this is bad because and will definitely make Israel go into war crime overdrive (unlike what is happening today) but when Harris says "no restrictions on Israel" this is good because behind the scenes they're actually keeping Netanyahu on a tight leash to make sure he doesn't do his worst.
we are not QAnon-like at all, what do you mean?
when Mike Huckabee says "there's no such thing as a West Bank, only Judea and Samaria", then he does it in a nefarious, evil way, but when Bill Clinton says "there's no such thing as a West Bank, only Judea and Samaria", he does it in a nice, benevolent way.
i worked for 5 and a half hours today and i made thirty count em thirty entire dollars.. yup im thinking im about to retire
im always a little mad at myself bc i didn't play more games as a kid i was just playing fuckass pokemon but also i had like $40 a year so what else would i have done. well i shouldve been playing yume nikki thats what i should have done. regardless, a happy life does not come from playing AAA games.
for the record, persona 5 royal is on nintendo switch, playstation 4, playstation 5, xbox (whatever versions idgaf) and pc. and that game is really long, not that hard to run (i mean it runs on switch Lol) and you may not ever need another game ever again
video games are a luxury, consoles are even more of a luxury bc at least you can use computers for other things. but idk you all arent like... used to games not working for you? Im now an adult with a job so i can update my computer if i want and buy video games but if a game doesnt work im typically just like "damn i guess I'll play something else..." Or i just hyper focus on it anyway. when i was a kid i was obsessed with the kings quest series. do you think ive played a single kings quest game? fuck no. ive not played a single sierra game, but i fucking loved em!. but i watched videos. You bet i watched videos. www.youtube.com. Check it out! you cant play em all but you can watch a lot of em.
#IDKKKKKK I JUST SEE THIS ALL AND ITS JUST LIKE YEAH.. I NEVER GOT TO PLAY GAMES AND I LOVED THEM ANYWAY...#GAMES SHOULDNT COST MONEY FOR THE GAME AND ALSO MONEY FOR THE CONSOLE/COMPUTER BUT IM PAYING FOR THAT SHIT...#people didnt even make full summaries back then. remember#OMFG i loved zelda majoras mask. i had not played it. and no one would give me a full rundown of the story. but i loved it!#is it not the same? the game studios assumed i had a n64 and copy of the game. and a brain that worked. i did not.#now developers assume you have the latest graphics card... its just the same thing. its just goddamn
like ok. i do agree computer hardware shouldnt be preventing people from playing a game they want to play. but also people are on that post saying "if it doesnt run with 6 year old hardware it isnt worth playing". and thats absolutely bullshit. first of all. years are always passing. you can wait to play a game for a few years if you need to. but not worth playing? for ANYONE? honestly i dont know what to say other than i hope you die. Like i hope you die. 6 year old hardware? i hope you die. and its not like all 6 year old parts are worth the same thing with the same amount of power. inflammatory, pointless statements and you should die for that.
you dont even need to play metal gear solid 4 you can just watch it but you should bring a friend because its really funny. but you do need to play metal gear solid v because you need to throw kaz out the window on accident when hes in his darkest moment. and you need to play metal gear solid 3 because you need to get stuck in a cave. and you need to play metal gear solid 1&2 because come on.
#every human being needs to play metal gear solid 2 it should be required to graduate/drop out of high school and also like to get a#drivers license and to be able to register to vote and rent a house and shitttt#^ i meant to say metal gear solidn1&2 there but only typed 2 but 2 is more important but u need to play 1 to play 2
sorry anon i kept saying other things but to be fair im kinda drunk but also like :| i honestly cant help my gamer elitism that just says "play another game? play a better game...?" when people complain. ok so you dont have a state of the art system... you have every metal gear solid game except for 4 and 4 is the worst one. you have every visual novel. you have the silent hill series, at least the games that matter. you have rpg maker games. you have itch.io. you have yakuza and do you need another game than that? they got mahjong on there. what are some other games. um, KILLER7. go ahead and play killer7. disco elysium, pentiment, whos lila, kentucky route zero, smtiii: nocturne, mouthwashing. im just looking at my steam library now but i dont buy games often so theres more that im not thinking of. half life 2 is free right now and i dont like it but it was a big deal in the industry and a lot of games happened because of it or something. but yeah well im more of someone who plays video games for scholarly pursuits and not for fun and i dont say that in an elitist way at all i just genuinely cant understand why someone would play a game for fun

here with unsolicited opinions about the video game post thing. i don't really have any problem with innovation in the video games industry, but i do think that optimization has been completely abandoned in favor of pushing out games with heavy content and no regard for how that game might run. there is virtually no reason for new CoD games to require an SSD and be 128 gb (not including future updates) while also including you to download Warzone (an additional 125gb). this is just poor optimization. another good example is cyberpunk 2077, whose optimization was so abysmal that steam offered refunds on launch because it was literally unplayable. innovation imo does not mean that we should completely stop optimizing video games & put the onus on the player base to spend additional money upgrading their pc constantly to keep up with games coming out.
totally understand this and i do agree that optimization is a huge issue. but i dont think this is always tied to optimization. baldurs gate 3 was massive and i think its kinda fair to need a sdd for that one (as someone who played with and without an sdd. game is huge). and none of the following stuff i am about to say matters but idk we should kill poorly made video games and i also do not gaf about realism at all, but thats also why i play a lot of older games. and like.. idk i was mad about the new dragon age not running well on my computer, but... There's 3 other, BETTER dragon age games i could be playing, and countless other games i could be playing that i know nothing about. why play cod when you can play a 20 year old game that had a huge impact on the game industry as a whole. why play elden ring when you can play dark souls*
*note this bitch played elden ring and not dark souls so yeah i understand wanting to play newer games but also if it didnt work on my computer i likely would have just played something else**
**i have been wanting to play bloodborne for almost 10 years now but i dont have a playstation so i cant, which is kind of the same "spending money to play a game" issue, but i just play other games instead. So i guess i do put my money where my mouth is here
P.S. why play metal gear solid 3 snake eater which you can emulate with possibly poor performance or buy on steam, when theres a free*** roblox version on roblox
*** i think its free but idk i havent played it.
#Well i think maybe im not one to talk bc i emulated mgs4 on a 'F tier' cpu bc if the game is important to me the game is important to me#regardless of how poorly it runs... but is that an excuse to not port mgs4 to modern systems.. NO... THE PEOPLE NEED IT!!!#but yeah. idk it is kind of hard for me to be like 'all this is an issue' as if you cant just play other games?#but i see the perspective. i dont want to discount this all as a non issue. i do agree with you!
i actually do need to go on t if only to be more horny and orgasm more easily. like its gotten to a point where ive considered medical intervention just so i can cum every night. BECAUSE ITS IMPORTANT TO ME.
with how generally horny the demographic on this site is im surprised ive never seen a post just asking outright how many times a week you jerk off
