@BlueBlur101 Thanks, That wasn’t at all in the title or the article which is why I was confused.

However if like to break down your comment and their title and show why I still think your comment was inappropriate and also perhaps help you learn a little about context and interpretation of phrases and essays.

You said:
"“Jaded modern gamers”
Gee, how professional of you boomers”

Their link title:
“New Super Lucky's Tale - The Perfect Tonic For Jaded Modern Gamers”

Let’s break this down first with a few definitions.

Tonic - substance given to give a feeling of vigor or well being.

Jaded - bored or lacking in enthusiasm typically after having had too much of something.

Modern - related to the present or recent times

Gamers - person who plays video games.

So their title based on the words they used could be interpreted as a refreshing and uplifting experience for gamers (no age implied) who might be lacking enthusiasm as they’ve played too many games that feel similar and this game feels very different and a new experience. However let’s see if we can get more context to see if this makes sense.

If you read the article it makes it very clear what they are implying, too many modern games are high pressure, stressful and gritty all or nothing experiences full of loot boxes and the link. This game is a nice bit of refreshing fun and a very different and refreshing experience.

As I hope you can see you misinterpreted the headline link and the tone of the article. It’s easy to read a small snippet of an article or just the headline link and reply with a hot take and come to the wrong conclusion.

We’ve all made mistakes like this including myself I just hope this breakdown maybe helps you think more about context before posting the next time you see a headline or small part of an article you might discover things aren’t as they look.

@mist fps doesn’t mean great gameplay, it doesn’t mean it’s a better choice than 30 fps if there are other negative trade offs.

If you could have identical graphics and experience at 60fps and 30fps then that’s great but the Switch is pretty limited in its hardware capabilities so trade offs need to be made and usually 30fps makes a lot more possible than 60fps.

@nagash Thanks for the extra info didn’t see anything like that here but I didn’t use an RSS reader.

Edit: 8/10 you got me

@BlueBlur101 "“Jaded modern gamers”
Gee, how professional of you boomers”

only person using the phrase jaded is you (I checked using a search). When you use quotes it implies you are quoting someone verbatim. Else it’s just an opinion not a fact.

The review actually said things like:

“ uncanny ability to make you smile, and this is something that can't be overlooked, especially in modern times.”

And

“games that ditch the ever-growing ‘play now and unlock this within a week or you’ll miss out forever’ pressure of modern games and give us nothing more than colours and smiles. And we all need that from time to time.”

That tone is very very different from what you implied and doesn’t imply anything close to jaded gamer.

Finally a boomer is someone born between 1946 & 1964. Given it’s unlikely the reviewer is over 55 I assume you’re just mimicking this months most popular insult with no real understanding of its origins or what the word implies.

Sorry if this post is overly long For everyone reading my pedantry in life is getting annoyed with fake quotes and attribution in comments.

@aresius You’re correct the only difference between the versions was visual the gameplay was the same on all versions.

@Amrulez you’re thinking of a completely different game called Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Alien Isolation never had any AI issues with the Alien being able to kill you.
