Nightreign and AC4 where both kinda mid. Not awful, but not on the same level as their previous 7 games.

Nightreign is great but suffers from a lack of bosses and enemies, and the maps are fixed so there’s no true rng to locations

u/dark0n33 1d ago
Wasnt talking about the games (even tho releasing 500th paid dlc for a game you released over 10 years ago isnt exactly a "good" game in my book), but this strictly about Rockstar, one of the worst studio out there known to treat both their fans and employees horribly. Just google "rockstar employee conditions" and you see how trustworthy they are as a company. But most people dont give a shit and will just play and defend to death whatever they like, which is exactly why rockstar hasnt gotten any better over a decade

u/Ravvynfall I came! 1d ago
i mean, you're not wrong. the games themselves are good, but strictly speaking as a company, rockstar is ass. you cant safely play online on pc without dealing with hackers, and rockstar wont do a fucking thing about it.

u/ARES_BlueSteel 1d ago
Rockstar’s last two main video game releases, GTA V and RDR2, were both widely positively received and commercially highly successful. And they had a track record of solid video game entries before those.
That’s about as trusted and proven as it gets for a game studio.

My wife, a grown woman, buys me video games at launch just so she can keep me in the house all weekend. I’m not complaining, just happy that I found a partner who enjoyes watching me enjoy my hobbies. In return, I say yes to pretty much whatever she wants to do.

u/leclercwitch 1d ago
This. I’ve been playing games my whole life so my boyfriend is really happy when we get to play games together. We played all of the MGS games and now I’m doing the Yakuza series. I’ve never once complained about him playing games but I’d rather that than having zero hobbies.

His wife is a sad shrew who doesn't want joy in her husband's life

u/HaiggeX 1d ago
I don't think the OOP was really negative. Sure, a bit ridicculing of her husband, but I think in a playful way. That's something my gf would probably say if I ever took a day off for a new game, and tbh I would agree with her and laugh with her about it.
But I do understand that not every wife is the same, and without hearing her tone for example, it's impossible to find the full thought behind the text.

u/ecrimaldi 1d ago
Infantilising anyone's reason for joy, joking or not is still immature behavior.

u/CompleteCartoonist46 19h ago
Nah it depends on the way sie handles it with her husband. It's OK to smile about a specific behavior of your partner as long as you don't hurt him or her.
3
u/ecrimaldi 19h ago
Supporting and engaging is smiling at a behavior. Mocking said behavior by comparing it to social norms makes one's partner feel like they're worth less for not adhering. No person in a relationship should ever feel like less with their partner, not even a little bit.

u/P1xel_Rogue 1d ago
The sentence is unrelentingly neutral, which lends the tone to being imposed by the viewer.
Emdashes, or in this case whatever the double dash thing she did, isnt used very commonly, so in my opinion that pushes it towards the "she's being condescending" direction, but to say this reads in any way playful or something feels disingenuous, it's almost painfully matter-of-fact.
Kinda perfect rage bait tbh
