Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase 'Lazy Devs' Already?

Stocksy

This is illogical. You get lazy Policepeople… lazy Doctors, lazy everything… you get people in all walks of life that don’t have pride in what they do… hide behind excuses and you have people that under ridiculous conditions deliver…..

So everyone saying “it shows a lack of how developers work”…..

You don’t understand how the human mind works and how some people do “phone it in”….

I think 9 times out of 10 it’s lazy greedy CEOs and leads for the project… if that’s at an umbrella company, the Dev or the publisher…

The gaming industry makes me laugh… if a TV show launched with glitches, and unfinished end, with issues with lighting and acting and half a script…. It would be called out…. But oh no we must gatekeep devs and defend them at all costs.

Re: Switch Online Surpasses 32 Million Subs, Nintendo Says It Will Continue To "Improve And Expand" Expansion Pack Tier

@Gwynbleidd it makes me chuckle people on here say it’s good value and the same people say PS Now isnt… PSnow has the same thing with BC… PS3 and ps2 games…. But then loads of ps4 games too. Massive titles and paid £30 a year so cheaper than this…. I think it has 600 games on it. This has under a hundred…. But it’s “just the price of a coffee” and that means “who cares” I wanna be these guys accountant….

Re: Animal Crossing's Happy Home Paradise Update Will Be The Game's "First And Only Paid DLC"

@Bentendo1609 it’s nothing like that. People are rightly pointing out stuff missing or stuff they’d like and people are saying they hope they hold it back for a launch title on the switch successor! That’s bonkers. Again it’s not mature to not listen to others want or think and say “your immature because you don’t want what I want” the irony of that statement is massive.

Nintendo need to be challenged - it’s healthy for consumers to challenge companies to be better. It’s not healthy to accept whatever they do. They will gradually take more and more liberties. We have seen it with Mario Party and Switch online…. The more we accept the more they will take liberties. Constructively asking for different or more is healthy.

All businesses need a bit of that. It’s healthy and natural.

Wow at the comments section. A lot of you are whiny Nintendo defendists… (if that isn’t you don’t get triggered or offended) people are allowed a different opinion. You are happy that’s great but don’t tell people that try and offer critique and tell us what they like/would have wanted are whiny…. It’s you that come on these threads sounding moany and whiny…. “I’m glad they held content back for the next game” hahahahaha. That’s the most fanboy thing I’ve ever read.

Re: Switch OLED Model Rates 2 Out Of 10 On Screen Durability Scratch Test

@johnvboy I see it a lot online - someone will say they’ve had issues with a (insert something) some people back that up with their own issues and others just pile on to say they’ve had no issues and then few weeks later a couple will pop back up to say they’ve had issue and instead of humble pie they seem to ignore they claimed it was a non issue weeks before.

I personally have had little to no noticeable drift and have no scratches on my switch. I have a dock sock on my dock because it was clear that design was bonkers from the start. This screen sounds even more fragile. I think people don’t need to weigh in everytime to tell us all how gentle they are and how they look after their items. You shouldn’t need to be that gentle or have to buy dock socks but it is what it is. Articles like this are useful to make sure everyone knows a screen protector is a good idea.

I genuinely don’t see a difference between the two issues. Yes obviously some people will be careless but also many people that are careful will have issues with both. No need for people to constantly laud it over people they had no issues. Just comes across like first class fanboyism- Nintendo could have done better on both fronts but even if we don’t vilify them for that it’s worth knowing how bad the issues are. Some will be less than others. Sony and Xbox both have had similar issues with their consoles (not screen obviously) but serious faults.

As usual we deal with pure extremes in comments - the “treat stuff with care and it won’t break” fault deniers - and the - mine blew up in the box unplugged crew…. Clearly Nintendo made some design choices that were poor and yes with care you can get round that but more people need to be balanced- just coz it didn’t happen to you doesnt mean it isn’t a thing. The same people deny joy con drift is a thing and blame the user.

Re: Blizzard Has Officially Renamed Overwatch's McCree

We really do have the two horrible ends of the spectrum posting here don’t we…. The “I knoW everything and never done anything wrong and hold everyone to account crew” and the “oh no “cancel culture” is horrible and there are no issues in society apart from the horrible treatment white men get”

Firstly those that were involved in the said abuse asked for this name change. We can’t then have a go for them doing it.

What I will say - obviously the abuse we are talking about is abhorrent and changes are needed. All the high and mighty posters here I have two questions…

1 - have you ever been abused in ways like this?

2 - do you call out wrong doing in your own life whenever you see it?

If you answer no to either of those please work on yourself before being so vocal and demanding more. If we all lead by example instead of simply calling out others real change will come.

If you say - I don’t see wrongdoings happening to call it out - you are massively part of the problem.

I can’t comment if they need to do more because I don’t know on the ground what they are doing. It’s a shame that abuses are so common place. With so many heroes online society should be sorted by now.

Try calling out bad behaviour in real life and not just online behind a keyboard.

For anyone that answered yes to victim of abuse. My thoughts go out to you and I hope you have got the support you need and I hope the cause of the abuse has been addressed. This is though unfortunately unlikely.

Re: GTA Trilogy's Definitive Edition Will Reportedly Feature 'GTA V-Style Controls'

Why are people so precious about the soundtracks being exactly the same…. They are good soundtracks and I’m sure 90% will be the same but I’m expecting a churn and some different tracks in. There is zero chance of the same soundtrack - song ownership has shifted majorly with loads of artists selling their back catalogue and no way that won’t impact these three. They won’t just leave them like they did the classic versions - I’m 90% sure they’ll fill out the playlists with other era and genre fitting titles and probably expand them.

I could be wrong but I know the soundtracks won’t be identical so anyone hanging on to that is gonna be disappointed
