9.85 years, if you were also wondering.

Sometimes games ship updates that mess with the game. I have over 20,000 hours in WoW. But my play habits from over almost 2 decades ago don't reflect the current quality of the game.

And some people compulsively play games they don't enjoy because "once I get to the next thing, it will finally be fun!" And maybe this person had an awakening and realized that they will never get there... Or after this amount of time had a drastic change of heart.

And some people leave games open when they aren't playing.

I'm not saying this is normal or necessarily healthy, but it's not unfeasible.

right, but if you do that I think it's on you to explain why you have that many hours and yet are still leaving a negative review. This comic is specifically parodying the people who don't provide that context and thus leave it open to interpretation

i love the game. Then the devs decided I wasn't playing it right and changed it.

Helldivers 2.

It's truly amazing now though since they buffed everything.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I haven't played Helldivers in a hot minute, but i didn't really get the complains a lot of people had. I played on helldivers difficulty, and got matched up with pretty good people usually which made the game pretty fun and kinda too easy. I played with the weirdest meme loadouts and it was still alright, after learning the game obviously. People were duper salty when their gun didn't one shot everything and the game got too hard. But you can always play on a lower difficulty? No?

I play a loot of deep rock galactic, and the game is much harder, and with their last update, you can raise the difficulty even more without mods. And no one complains that their favourite gun doesn't kill everything in one hit.

It wasn't terrible, but certain guns stood out over the others, while others were incredibly generic. Like the "high caliber" liberator was the same damage with a little knock back added. The carbine was liberator but faster. Things that stood out got nerfed. The nerfs weren't unfair, imo, but with the rest of the guns feeling lackluster it just felt like we were being punished. Now all of the guns feel great and viable, and the formerly busted ones are busted again, so the sky is the limit with loadouts. Also most strategems got buffed reducing the need for dedicated anti tank loadouts. They also reduced spike damage from getting headshot and increased limb damage to offset it, so you are slightly squishier but aren't one or two shot as often before. Overall everything feels great.

Helldivers always sounds like they're fucking with everything. I was not under the impression there was any solid ground to the meta, besides "don't shoot other humans (unless it's funny)."

"I bet that new DLC I pre-ordered months ago sucks too."

And then some ascii ass art below.

It's one thing to write a funny review instead of being serious, but... The thumbs up or thumbs down is for people who don't wanna read your review, they just wanna take a glance at what most people think.

Imagine a game where every review is a joke giving a thumbs down. Everyone who hasn't played it will think it sucks.

Except it's a thumbs up instead.

Me and destiny 2

Dont worry for me bros, 1 year sober✌️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stay Strong

I'd actually love a grindless story only version though tbh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I would pay 60$ for destiny with all the "fat" trimmed. Keep the multiplayer, the pve, weapon and armor system but remove power level, random rolls and all the other grindy stuff.

Being able to use gear you like based on preference, rather than meta or whatever high stat roll you can get. That and also buff mobility stat.

Any idea who's the artist?

Are you sure it's not Cementarii, the Steam username in the frame?

But it was for sure posted in 1989, right?

game SUCKS i go to BED

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

This is basically War Thunder. I can go on a rant, but I'll leave a single statement to sum it up: even gacha games are more respectful to their playerbase.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I've done that a few times. I decided to absorb the punishment doled out by the game's badness and have what fun I could, but it was always at a stupidly high cost and the stuff that sucked, I didn't see coming going in.

Except with a more normal but still big number.
