opinions on games. 
Dave the Diver is gook trash. 
Everyone calls it "relaxing", "chill", "play at your own pace". 
don't know what the frick game they were playing but it's not the one I played. It's an annoying QTE-filled grindfest that constantly forces you into unwanted unskippable cutscenes 
and takes you out of the flow of what you wanted, which is probably by design because the core of the game is very sparse. 
The restaurant side game is just Root Beer Tapper combined with Farmville 
. The combat controls are janky 
as frick, the hitboxes make absolutely no sense and the boss fights are difficult for the sake of being difficult. 
The minigames are dumb as frick. Oh wow 
, a memory card game. Neat, a seahorse racing game where you just mash the space bar. 
A rhythm minigame that takes place in an otaku's wet dream about his waifu, so cool. I legitimately do not understand why this is anything above a Mixed rating on Steam, much less "Overwhelmingly Positive". 
G*mers really are just BIPOCcattle I suppose.

Empire: Total War was the last decent Total War game. Yeah, the game was an unfinished buggy mess, but it was the last time they tried to innovate. Everything since has just been uninspired arcadey trash.
Unreal Tournament 2004 was the last decent shooter. Frick cover and tacticool shooters, just let me run around with the boys and kill each other.
RTwP is horrible and my biggest hope from BG3 being a massive success and turn based only is that it would lead to a trend where other RPG devs like Obsidian and Owlcat (I think Owlcat is already doing it, RT will be turn based only from what I heard?) finally abandon RTwP entirely and only make proper turn based RPGs.
Classic WoW (2019-2021), despite all its flaws, was the best MMO experience in decades and you missed out on it, it's literally over for you. Yes, I played Nostalrius and private servers pre-Classic, not they don't even being to compare.
Victoria 2 is easier than any modern (CK2+) Paradox game.

WoW was and always has been shit.
It's just a rip-off of then popular MMOs (Guild Wars), offers nothing new, and it marked the beginning of the end for Blizzard.
If you like WoW you're an r-slured consoomer who would buy anything like a good consoomer.

AI will not only be necessary in the future, it will be preferred. The standard for the size, scope and complexity of open world games requires hundreds of people half a decade and a quarter of a billion dollars to make, truly advanced AI will be able to fill the gaps in ways we today see as sacrilegious and anti-creativity.
I think this will extend to even AI NPCs, with AI voiceacting speaking AI written dialogue about AI generated quests. Imagine thousands of fully fleshed out NPCs that never exhaust or find a limit to their dialogue. Imagine a game where you're a king in a castle, and you have to rule a kingdom by verbally (or through free text) delegating authority to dynamic NPCs. Or a detective game where you never actually know if the suspect is telling the truth. Or a romance game where you actually have to win a fake woman's heart. The possibilities are endless.

Holy shit, I could actually get behind one of those large scale, historical strategy games if the whole thing was from the perspective of a King delegating orders.
I doubt you could make the moment-to-moment gameplay loop "realistic" because honestly, real kings were probably just fricking and eating most of the day
But still, the idea of playing as a Roman Consul in VR, going to war, and delegating battle strategy on-the-fly while you're getting bad, confusing, conflicting, etc. reports, sounds super engaging, but maybe I'm just a big history nerd idk

Strategy games where you delegate to AI have been tried a few times. There's a Master of Orion type game a few years ago that did this but I can't remember the name.
The trouble is, it feels like the game is just playing itself and it doesn't need you.

Most people don't want infinite content or randomization. If anything there's a lot of criticism for games with too much content, especially when it's clearly not tailor-made.
I do think in the future we'll see certain games lean heavily into AI technology. Maybe devs could finally accomplish a modern version of Daggerfall that used current AI/procedural technologies to govern a whole country's worth of fantasy adventures. That would be an amazing experience, even if it was just as buggy and questionable as every Bethesda product. But there's a reason developers haven't just been trying to iterate on Daggerfall over and over since the mid 90's. That level of complexity is a gimmick, not a standard.

Eh I'd say that's not true. There's a balance to be struck between empty procedural shit and handcrafted areas, but that point has been shifting further and further out. Elden Ring is like 10-20x the size of Dark Souls and only a decade later. AC and Zelda too

consolestrags ruined fps games. every AAA company caters hard to this group through aimbot levels of aim assist. Theres a whole generation of zoomers now who grew up with this and think its normal and that it actually takes skill to play on a controller.

Yeah I didn't care when console players got aim assist as long as they were off in their own servers. But crossplay is forced everywhere on PC now.
OW used to do the right thing - console players played on console servers but if they were grouped up with someone on PC they'd play on PC servers, by PC rules (w/out aimbot). But then the console players kept bitching about how useless they were (lol) and so Blizz decided to force aimbot on everyone.

I was never a huge fan of Rockstar but I remember being kind of baffled by the move from Red Dead Revolver to Red Dead Redemption.

Yeah I know how this makes me sound but the politics of the setting are too modern and it's blatant how racism and sexism are used to code the “bad guy” characters whereas everyone back then would be bigoted by modern standards.
I loved shooting up the Klan members and I suppose an outlaw gang could be fine with blacks and women.
But like, the good characters are lacking in period authentic prejudice and it's not believable. LA Noire was much better about this. Only villainous characters like Roy Earle were truly racist but also the writers still had the balls to remind you this was the 1940's.

I'd be totally fine with Arthur lacking in prejudice completely since he was essentially raised away from society by Dutch and Hosea who both have weird idealistic philosophies, but the mission where you ride with Lenny and Arthur literally doesn't know what racism _is_ is a step too far. It would be almost impossible especially considering you're currently in the South

A few years ago, I commented on reddit in a few places that were circlejerking about RDR2 that I didn't even bother buying the game because I found out that the gunplay was just as bad as in GTAV. The response was predictable.
Sorry but I'm not gonna buy a $60 game with gunplay so bad that you have no choice but to use extremely heavy-handed autoaim. Shooting shit is the primary gameplay loop, if they can't get fricking shooting down with a billion dollar budget then I'm not supporting it, sorry, I don't care that the horses can shit or whatever

I enjoyed RDR2, but the whole Rockstar mission system is just tired at this point. It's even worse in this game, because half the missions involve slowing riding to a destination so unskippable dialog can occur.
