Razortits was right even though I hate that faggot: Kojima needs actual editors and people to tell him no for anything to be good. Sony giving him the carte blanche on every creative decision was naive and stupid.
The game is basically every shitty part of a Kojima game rolled into one boring package that was received like a wet fart days after release.

My issue with the game, gameplay wise, is that it's a half step between being arcadey and a simulation leaving anyone who'd like a full step in either direction unsatisfied.

It's amazing how a simple texture replacement made Spider-Man for the PS1 the best version of that game ever. This is so perfect. Especially the eyes and teeth of the symbiotes and lizards and small details like the Lizard's pants not looking nerdy af. This is how the textures should have been, don't know how Neversoft fucked them up. And I also have no idea how Treyarch fucked up the proportions of the models instead, Venom, the symbiote spawns and Monster Ock look horrendous on Dreamcast.

All right, fine… It's been 18 years, and I'll finally admit it! As much as I loath this insulting trash game for daring to call itself Mario Bros. (and the trend of dumbed down trash games that followed in its wake), Koji Kondo at least managed to belt out another irresistible banger for the main stage theme.

It's a testament to a composer's skill that I find myself getting this theme stuck in my head all the time, imagining that it's some nostalgic theme from a much earlier Mario game. But no, in fact it had the great misfortune to be attached to this turd. Well done, Kondo-san.

Hi, I'm Gabe Newell, the CEO of valvesoftware.com. My pronouns are gabe/gaben and I identify as pro-consumer. I'm most famous for:
>sucking Denuvo's cock
>sucking EA's cock
>sucking Activision's cock
>sucking Ubisoft's cock
>sucking 2k's cock
>sucking Nintendo's cock (the biggest cock of them all)
>ignoring the French court's demands
Some people say that GOG is better than Steam. But GOG is for losers who can't afford a good Internet connection and graphics card to run the superior Denuvo games. That's why nobody publishes their games on it. Steam has a larger catalog of indie games than GOG. We keep all the indie devs locked inside our basement with no way out. There is no escape.

>However I think it's technically incorrect to say that "copyright" is compatible with free-markets. It's a monopoly which is not a free market.
Hi, Proudhon.

I mean, I said "free-market liberal." Though "market liberal" is more accurate ig.
>Valve makes an open-platform hand-held console while Nintendo makes a closed platform handheld console.
I said "Steam," not "Steam Deck."
>Valve supports FOSS projects, while Nintendo is attacking FOSS projects.
I mean, Google does it too but FOR SOME REASON people hate it and call it evil. It's as if opportunistically supporting certain FOSS projects isn't enough.
>Obviously we have to prioritize struggle against Nintendo.
No, it's not obviously. You're trying to redirect people's anger onto single issues which is a very liberal thing to do. "First we need to deal with this, then we can move to this." We must tackle issues all at once.
>your basic message is don't attack Nintendo, attack valve

I think we should criticize all platform holders, not just Nintendo. I think we should move to better platforms like GOG. I think we should reduce the amount of proprietary software and DRM we're using. We should pirate DRM'd games if needed.

I just can't feel anything for Berdly yet like some people do. Characters like Scout TF2 are interesting to me because they turned their little brother syndrome into a skill and some sense of kindness in life(no matter how selective and warped), meanwhile Berdly's just kind of stagnated. He's 15-16, so I'm certain the rest of the story will have him finding that thing, and if he does I'll enjoy watching.

I didn't watch the entire videos but it seems to be numerous things such as:
- The console costs too much
- a single game costing 80 bucks, and more.

The first video mentions how a WiiU game costed $60, then costed $20 on Nintendo Select, then a Switch port costed $60 again.

Other things:
- They made it complicated to share games between accounts (14 day limit unless you return it earlier, and a three game total limit)
- When you buy a game, you only get a license key, you still have to download the entire thing (which means that you can't share physicals anymore since it's just a license key that's presumably already used) (video quote: "Nothing is yours anymore")

The videos have more but I'm lazy

I just played Mario Kart (on someone else's Switch). After a lot of top 5 placings and even 1st place, I ended up in the bottom 5, with placings like 10th and 12th.

This change was because I found out I had Smart Steering and Auto-acceleration settings turned on and I turned them off. After turning them off I kept speeding into walls and falling off ledges. I also couldn't do the drift-speed-up properly.

All my previous wins were actually because of automated settings. Darn.

Knew that my criticisms wouldn't be taken seriously on /v/, so I came here.

What had made the initial POSTAL 2 have integrity was how it laughed in the face of moral panic—whether on the conservative side against video games or book-banning, and later on the acts of organizations such as PETA.

The modern day's conservative moral panic is mainly focused toward the LGBTQ+ and immigrants. POSTAL 4 had an amazing opportunity to comment on these things(we already had an entire group dedicated to getting rid of books in the last game), they side with the moral panic narrative by only telling a story about the rabid SJWs.

The terrorists in POSTAL 2 were also done quite well; they could be found everywhere on the map(the grocery store, the mall, behind RWS) to show how ridiculous the narrative of "terrorists could be anywhere" that justified the Patriot Act was. They could have played it this way, too. They could have had random trans people hiding among the populace looking to cut your dick off. They could have had a mad university professor trying to hypnotize a local college campus into having gay sex. They could have had the book burners show up mid-way through that, but then target Postal Dude midway through because "Hey, look at those buttons on his clothes! Those are a secret symbol of the queer agenda! I saw it online!" and then have them target him as well.

Instead, POSTAL 4 just uses the cheap conservative joke that its ancestor would have tore to shreds and loses its shine because of it. It feels like if a modern sitcom writer tried to make a POSTAL game without understanding any of the bite that made those games special. I'm not going to pretend that they were fine art or anything like that, but it was a special component.

Moral panic implies that the threat is imaginary. The depressed wages and increased crime that comes with careless immigration policies is very real.

The difference is like the one between blaming rainbow capitalism for wokeness and blaming queer people for wokeness. A very subtle one. The first is a legitimate complaint. The second is scapegoating.

Unfortunately, considering the game corps care only how much money they gain, its not likely.

Although, if more people and gamers are aware of the issue as well, maybe starting a campaign could be of use.

i think that leftists should be taking things like gaming more seriously in their analyses
often i will get the response that this is a dumb idea because gaming is trivial - this was a common refrain i got during gamergate - but thats the point! it should rouse our attention when something even as trivial as gaming is being subject to constant manipulation and exploitation
