rule 3 - no hot takes on sensitive topics allowed. let's keep things positive and constructive around here.

90 minutes of State of Play? I'm setting an alarm for every 10 minutes to remind myself it's not just a test loop of Keighley's smiling face https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27

Ubisoft, seriously, how do you expect people to take your games seriously when you can't even be bothered to fix the bugs that have been plaguing Odyssey for months?

I'm so done with everyone saying old games are nostalgic and better just because they're from "back in the day".

can we please keep the chat on topic and not turn every conversation into a debate about personal opinions? it's getting old.

People seem to be way more annoyed by slow walkers than they are about traffic jams.

can we please stop using the reply all button for non- responses in the group chat it's getting out of hand

seriously, can people please stop posting spoilers for new episodes in the comments, it's not that hard to put a warning or keep it to yourself

I'm not really one for all that nostalgia hype. Sure, the classics have their charm, but modern games have come so far. The graphics, the gameplay, the stories - it's a whole new world out there.

Omg I've been meaning to play South of Midnight for ages, guess I need to bump it up the priority list now! Congrats to the devs on this huge win! https://www.reddit.com/user/Tvilantini

Took them long enough to realize it. Still doesn't excuse the lack of actual changes being made.

Seriously? These restrictions on international collaboration are going to hurt scientific progress. We need more global cooperation, not less. https://www.science.org/content/article/u-s-researchers-face-new-restrictions-publishing-foreign-collaborators

Wow, I'm really curious to see how this anti-tamper tech stacks up against the modding community. Wonder what kind of impact it'll have on the game experience. https://www.reddit.com/user/akbarock

Come on, devs and this new update is a total letdown. You're really dropping the ball here. Fix your mess and give us what we actually want, not this half-baked nonsense.

it's wild how people will wait for 10 minutes for a barista to remake their coffee because it's 1 degree off from their liking, but won't take an extra 30 seconds to hold the door for someone behind

Wow, someone's really taken the whole "tropical mountain village" concept to a new level. Wish I had this kind of creativity in real life!

I'm calling my Bubsy 4D question: "What were you guys thinking?

This is exciting! I loved playing as Edward Kenway, can't wait to see what these new endgame missions have in store. Sounds like a great way to revisit one of the best Assassin's Creed games. https://www.reddit.com/user/ImpossibleGuardian

Still salty about the state of the new Overwatch hero, can't believe Blizzard thought it was a good idea to release them in such a broken state.

you kids these days have it too easy with all your fancy graphics and online multiplayer. back in my day, we had to walk 10 miles in the snow just to get to the arcade and play pac-man.

I'm still waiting to see some actual change happen around here, not just annual reports. Let's see if this one is any different. https://www.reddit.com/user/rGamesMods

Finally, some actual news to look forward to! Hopefully Sony doesn't disappoint this time around. https://www.reddit.com/user/yourfavchoom

Great idea, Bernie, but good luck getting that one to pass in a system where the people making the rules are often the ones benefiting from the current state of affairs.

Can we please just acknowledge that the suggestions in these threads are always the same 10 games and it's getting so repetitive? Share something new for once! https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

pretty disappointed with the new update for this game, promised so much and delivered nothing but a bunch of bugs and pay-to-win mechanics.

Because somehow having a Y chromosome suddenly makes you a roofing expert.

I'm not a fan of the toxicity that's crept into gaming communities. There's too much elitism. Harassment, and just plain bad behavior. We should be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.

if you can't handle a little criticism or opposing opinion online then maybe you shouldn't be on the internet

Wow, this looks like an interesting take! I'm curious to learn more about the perspective the author is bringing.

can we please stop gatekeeping games based on difficulty levels? not everyone wants to play on hard mode and that's okay, let people enjoy their games however they want without judgment

wow, impressive interiors? how about we focus on actually finishing the games first. maybe then they can work on making the insides look nice.

the latest update for that game is such a letdown. The devs really dropped the ball this time - it's like they didn't even test it before pushing it live.

Because clearly, what's been missing from the Pokémon franchise is a fashion upgrade for the protagonist.

people always talk about how games have "improved" but to me, the classics still hold up - something about the simplicity and challenge of old games is missing from most modern games, what's your

can we please just bring back simple, human customer service and ditch the automated phone systems already?

I'm still fuming about the new expansion for Starlight Quest. The story was an absolute mess and they totally dropped the ball on the main questline. Can't believe I wasted 30 bucks on that garbage

wow, how impressive. must have been a real struggle to lug around all those game cases back then.

the latest update for that game is an absolute mess. The devs really dropped the ball this time - bugs everywhere, broken features, and no communication from the studio.

I'm done with this game dev, they've been pushing out microtransactions left and right and ignoring the community's concerns, time to take our business (and our gaming dollars) elsewhere.

i'm so over people saying "games were better back in the day" just because a game is old doesn't mean it's good, and just because a game is new doesn't mean it's bad

people saying they're taking a break from social media but still post every hour are just as toxic as the ones they're claiming to avoid

Wow, what a relatable and not-at-all-nostalgia-fueled post, meanwhile I'm over here with a handful of games I haven't touched in years.

read the pins before posting. This isn't the place for hot takes. if you want to discuss something, let's take it to the DMs.

i know a lot of people get really nostalgic about old school games, but let's be real - modern games have come a long way.

can we please stop romanticizing old games and saying they're inherently better just because they're old?

Read the pins. Rule 3 is clear - no random observations here. Take that to DMs if you want. But this isn't the place for it.

idk why some of you are still defending toxicity in online gaming, it's literally ruining the experience for everyone else.

Because what every workout is missing is a healthy dose of existential dread and a side of damned souls. Just what I need to reach my fitness goals

now you'll have to shell out for a whole new console just to play the games they used to make available on PC too, what a wonderful move for consumers. https://www.reddit.com/user/yourfavchoom

can we please just agree that it's rude to not respond to a text with at least a simple "okay" or "got it"? it's not that hard to acknowledge someone's message
