re: South Park: their rules for their writers

I lost interest after they shat the bed trying to predict the 2016 election cycle using serialized storytelling. I've watched a handful of episodes in the interim, but nothing has made me a regular viewer since.
It's hard to be edgy and subversive when you're damn near 60. Retire. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Without clicking on the video, the part that I always found amusing is that they took a seemingly attractive model to use as the basis for the main character and put on a master class in how to ugly that lady up. She didn’t even look human afterward.
I am not against a female protagonist but having to look at the freak they stitched together and knowing what the woman actually looked like would always take me out of the game.
It’s so funny to me how as women have become a more integral part of the development process, their innate jealousy prevents them from depicting women as anything less than a cave troll. Yet somehow the “male gaze” and misogyny is the problem? :lol:

I can appreciate dunking on Naughty Dog, but life is too short. I don't care.
I just won't buy their products anymore. I can see all the hallmarks of their usual nonsense in the trailer. Why argue online? Just no. Focus your energy on something else.
Ideally enough people do that and Druckmann can pursue his true passion of issuing truckstop handjobs. Simple as.

I laugh at the missteps and the veiled admission of failure, but it brings no comfort. Outside of a hostile takeover, there will be no course correction. And even then, would another owner provide something of value?
It's only getting weirder from here. You think any of these studios have the capability to learn a legitimate lesson? they're all overpaid corporate suits. They don't have a fricking clue what's going on. Best you can do is starve them of capital.
It's gotten so goddamn expensive to produce anything. Boardrooms can't produce a thing that isn't focus grouped to oblivion. And all these entities truly care about is a fricking shareholder. We, as consumers, are in hell. Enjoy.

Disheartening but unsurprising. I hope I can actively ignore the bullshite and enjoy the gameplay, but I’m getting tired of mental gymnastics to channel out “well that just happened!” Level dialogue.
re: The BO7 campaign looks insane

Shooter campaigns are nostalgia bait and filler. It’s been that way for a long long time. It should be surprising to no one at this point.
Every so often they’ll come up with an interesting gimmick or at least one mission will be memorable, but I keep my expectations low.
Zombies has been circling the drain even on Treyarch titles.
The competitive multiplayer is the only reason these games are still relevant. It will likely be a down year for them in terms of online market share due to bf6, but I’m sure the mp will be largely passable and the zombies will be fun for a few rounds.

re: How people react to learning GTA6 will have a pride parade
Posted by CornDogCologne on 11/11/25 at 9:26 am to Roaad
Just seems like R* would just avoid the controversy instead of presenting it for the player to decide. That feels like an old school PS2 era GTA decision. They already removed some references to LGBT in GTA V due to cultural sensitivity.
They'll end up patching this out or patching in auto-death if you engage violently with any rainbow clad NPCs. All it will take are a few chud highlight reels of barreling through parades or crashing planes into them, etc.
The screeching about hate and bad optics will result in some form of action being taken.

Did the smoke assist challenge earlier this morning. Not exactly the most refined method but I played breakthrough and spammed the objective with smoke. Really worked well on defensive positions.
Getting enough damage at 75 meters to unlock the first challenge with that peashooter dmr was godawful. At least the second phase lets you transition to a sniper rifle.

Modern AAA game development just feels like an elaborate troll on the consumer base at this point.
GTA dev: alright guys, it’s still coming. *snorts suppressing laughter* Just a few more months!
I’ve become indifferent to it at this point because im an old curmudgeon, but I’d hate to be checking days off for this bastard. Agonizing. :lol:

I only had one left to get last night. It took FOREVER to trigger. I was blind firing into mobs and it finally gave it to me. :lol:
I had 9 suppressions prior to that, through just random gameplay. I was so relieved to see 9/10 on that counter, post-nerf. I cannot imagine having to get 300 of those cocksuckers.

Eh, I don’t want to spend 15 games mag dumping lmg rounds into a bunker five inches away from actual kills. Just give me the god damned LMG.
Also, maybe this will incentivize people to actually play the objective/game type instead of chasing x of 5000 arbitrary bullshite.

I’m glad they nerfed the weapon and class unlock challenges.
That suppression challenge for the LMG would have taken me forever. :lol:

Battle royale had its moment in the sun nearly a decade ago.
Now everybody feels obligated to tack it onto their game to keep up with the joneses. Divides the attention of the developers away from maintaining their mainline games in order to balance and maintain both modes. Is also a big entry point for loot boxes/goofy paid skins in an effort to monetize the free BR mode.
Overrated mode is overrated.
I’ll try it, but I’m usually only good for a handful of matches before I tap out.

I went for one of the high health handicaps thinking I was hot shite. Got greedy for the extra ninjacoin.
Got it eventually, but god damn. Those frickers can throw hands in purgatory.

re: No posts about the billions of dollars lost in the CSGO tradables economy?
Posted by CornDogCologne on 10/27/25 at 9:10 am to stout
I guess my larger point is that I have very little faith in loot boxes and in game currency/items as a unit of exchange. I wouldn’t be playing in the casino and I damn sure wouldn’t be holding anything long term.
I’m happy for those that got a little money out of that system, but it seems like it was always going to play out this way. Feels odd seeing someone go out due to getting burned on a knife cosmetic, but here we are.

I think I would have gotten out of my loot box skin position before the hammer fell if it was me. Seems like a shaky market to hold enough wealth that would make me consider suicide if I lost it.
It is crazy what markets or what items can develop value and the factors that can rapidly erode said value.

I played ninja gaiden and beat it way back when it was new during the Xbox era. I have kept up on action games/rpgs mostly via soulslikes but that combat is much more stiff. This is a different animal and I’m sure my reflexes are worse off since 2004.
I decided to give this a go. It is definitely unforgiving and chunks your arse in the deep end. The first few purgatory chambers were humbling until I started to get my head around the mechanics. Admittedly, I was self imposing handicaps for larger payouts but I probably still look pitiful compared to someone who knows what they’re doing. :lol:
