If you take any major gaming publications scores as at all legitimate then I have a bridge to sell you

Major publications give it a passable score because “lol glitches are Bethesdas thing”, ignoring objective critique because of reputation, as well as our of fear that they won’t be given access to the next product released by the or Microsoft because they give games “bad publicity”

Starfield is a broken, poorly written, dumpster fire of a game. It objectively doesn’t function correctly often, like many Bethesda products, and was designed by a team lead by a man allergic to basic game design ethos (seriously fuck Emil, my dog could do game design better than me "fuck design docs). It has moments of being interesting and, much like Skyrim, could be the base for some cool mods, but people hated it so much it won’t ever even get that

Relying on favorable interpretations of “reasonably functional” is just begging lobbyists and lawyers to ruin it for everyone.

As is explained by Ross in the very video good over this initiative:

If it’s successful in getting the votes then the EU will base what they do off of expert opinion and consultation. You’re going in with the assumption that it’ll work exactly as it does in the US it seems, which is silly as shit to do

My guess is that this game pivoted during development

Nah, the game matches pretty well with what Lyin’ Todd said he wanted to make almost 20 years ago

It’s also very clearly their usual design decisions but in a new setting

If anything the issue is that they stayed stuck in EXACTLY their usual development methods: no design document because Emil doesn’t like them, their writers make their quests too, and use an engine that’s absolutely not meant for the kind of game they’re making ON TOP of being ancient and garbage

Sometimes I wonder whether Starfield truly deserves all the bad publicity

Having played it on games pass, which I was mostly paying for for other games I was enjoying at the time:

It’s quite literally the worst Bethesda game I’ve ever played. And yes, I’ve played Battlespire.

Honestly even the harsh reviews tend to go nicer on it than it deserves, imo

Is this a think skin problem im too calloused to understand?

Ok i get it, it’s best practice to do rushed releases without QA because users are the free testers.

You literally used the wrong version. As I stated: the app you’re talking about clearly states it does not have a stable release for the version of nextcloud you’re running.

They definitely had no way to know that their own app was incompatible

They knew, and told you, right on the app page

Idiot user who believed their newsletter "update now, hub 9 is the best thing ever

You said it, not me. I tried being nice but that really is what happened: you fell for what the marketing team wrote and skipped basic IT steps in doing so. Now, rather than just admit you made a mistake that a LOT of people have made (including me, I’m a fucking idiot too) you are whining and doing your best to me talk gymnastics this into you being a victim of something

How you managed to convince your IT department of anything with a knowledge that shallow and an attitude like that I’ll never know. Grow up.

then a bit of warning is suggested

Which was given by the app that gets broken by the update

Windows doesn’t tell you that upgrading to 11 will break x, y, and z that you have installed, you’re expected to go to the sites for those programs and check if they work. Same exact idea

The same company making both apps is never a guarantee that they’ll play nice day 1, for many reasons

I’ll repeat: learn from your mistake instead of blaming other people for your naivete. If an app is important and might break during an update of something: check the apps documentation to see if it supports said update

Literally just googled “nextcloud forms” and looked at their supported versions and whaddya know, it says right on that webpage that there’s no stable version for 30 yet, so safe bet would be that it wouldn’t properly work when upgrading:

There is a supported nightly build, though, so you could probably have tried that

It’s on you to look up what will break when you update, or to test and see what happens when you do. A major update page isn’t going to list all of the things that rely on it that break because that’s fucking unreasonable

I’m starting to see a pattern in those comments like “why did you wear a skirt that night? It looks like you asked for it…”

Cute victim mentality, but gross and insanely wrong comparison

Learn from your mistake and don’t update without testing next time, it’s 100% on whoever updates the production environment to make sure that shit isn’t broken for whatever reason before pushing it customer-side

It’s more like you bought a random white powder from your dealer without asking what it was and are now upset you almost died

I never wasn’t insulting them directly, their points are so stupid and ridiculous that I didn’t ever even bother arguing them because that would be a waste of my time

Better to point and laugh at the person who refuses to learn than to waste my time trying to teach them

I see that you’re only able to argue using words when discussing the Thanksgiving turkey

Yeah, your other points were so beyond stupid they can only be laughed at

You’re the kind of vegan people point to when they say all vegans are lunatics with 0 basic brain functionality

There’s no way a person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would eat corpses

Lawl

person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad

LMAO

the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed

Right, because turkeys are naturally headless and featherless with their wings and legs tied up. Totally no processing going on at all with them

is a ritual sacrifice

You don’t kill a live turkey during thanksgiving, it’s not a fucking sacrifice

No, and I explained multiple times why

Ok but you’re just factually wrong, a special version of games is not needed for the steam deck, it uses the PC version of the game

Can’t hold the power button on my PS to load into “desktop mode” and operate it exactly like my desktop PC though, like I can on steam deck

Games need to have different Spec Recommendations for PC and one specific optimized version for Steam Deck. Both are separated.

You’re just wrong here, they don’t need special versions at all, you’re normally just given windows .exe files and told to use proton to make the games work, even

This is good, actually, as it lets you change your settings in-game just like on normal PCs, so if you want more battery life you can turn them down, or if you’re plugged in you can turn them up

Your idea there is just bad and wrong, sorry

Gameplay: watered-dowm DMC + watered-down FFXIV. You’ll be spamming a base combo and using “rotations” as they pop. It can be a little more.complicated than that but even normal raid tiers in FFXIV require more thought than any fight in FFXVI

Story: couldn’t tell ya, gameplay was so shit I sincerely regretted buying the game physically, as I was too lazy to return to the store to return it in time

That has never in the entire history of the human race being an individual who looks more guilty than he does. He gives off rapist energy

Completely agree. Too bad that’s not proof of anything, we’re supposed to learn that in grade school

how can you possibly be defending him?

They didn’t, they simply reminded everyone that accusations are not in and of themselves proof even if we dislike the person immensely

This is so important to you that the government must be petitioned to act but you don’t have a single example?

Yup, that’s exactly what I said, nailed it!

Did you purchase Concord?

No, irrelevant anyway

Have you ever purchased a game that no longer works?

Yes. Multiple, even!

Why do you think you have the right to tell the devs what they should be doing if you didn’t buy their game?

Because nobody should have the ability to take a paid-for product and make it no longer work after the fact. That flat-out _shouldn’t be an options for anyone

You should really inform yourself on this topic, it’s super clear you’ve got no idea what youre on about

Off the top of my head not really, but I just woke up

But there’s this magic way to learn about stuff called “looking it up” you can try! I recommend the people the post is talking about, you’re obviously really poorly informed on the topic
