1 comment by any given person, however lewd or distasteful, is not harassment unless it's an outright threat.

The reason: Nobody can know if it's unwanted until *after* they've been asked to stop. You cannot expect people to just assume it's unwanted, and you *definitely* can't ask devs (or, god forbid, the legeslature) to enforce a policy preventing it because some people might not like it when nobody has a way to know that.

For exa...

@nX it's really not. Input lag is exactly what it sounds like, the time it takes for the image sent to the screen to actually display on screen. There are factors other than just the TV, but it can be tested on TVs specifically. Anything above 50ms (that is .04 or .05 of a second) is bad, at that point you're getting into the range where you'll actually be able to feel the delays, especially when you add in the *extra* input lag of the games current framerate. At 30FPS that's ...

Not really? We still get some good RPGs, JRPGs and otherwise, but we get a lot more crappy to mediocre action games calling themselves RPGs (look to EA and Bioware for examples) and mid tier JRPGs that embody all of the most overdone cliches in JRPGs with little of what made them interesting (most of the more recent Tales of games, Sword Art, sadly even Star Ocean 5.)

Yeah there are some real gems hidden in among the thinly disguised action games and heaps of trash, but co...

almost certainly. That's literally illusions whole schtik, they make (often super dark/deviant) porn games (the actual game/porn ratio varies).

I totally don't have any of them. It's a coincidence that I know that, I swear.

Not when it was released either. It has the dire misfortune of competing with Morrowind and Fallout New Vegas.

Yes. I don't have problems on my specific setup = nobody has problems ever.

I have 128 mods installed and still haven't hit the 4gb limit. I don't know wtf you'd have to do to hit it, but I'm suspecting the answer is "nothing smart or necessary."

Considering if you have a decent PC the only real upgrade appears to be the god-rays (everything else they did was already done, and way, way more, by modders) it makes sense. Not worth dealing with getting everything re-installed just for that.

Most players of most games are really not any good. I do that kind of thing in various shooters all the time.

It's particularly easy to do to people in shooters like BF and COD where there ends up being battle lines and once you get behind them safely nobody thinks to look backwards for the gunfire. It's much harder (but still possible) in smaller game modes (like the regular Halo 4v4) because there are no battle lines and so they have to more actively look for tar...

Complaining about things that haven't really been common in high quality JRPGs since 2002. Good Job.

Random encounters are still super common, but they are also nowhere near the *every 5 feet* thing that some of the worst examples had over a decade ago.

EDIT:

PS: I like nakedness. As long as it's properly contextualized, at least. Exploitative Oblgatory beach scene? Bring it on, as long as you don't get too tacky with expl...

Did you not read the comment? It doesn't have to be real to have a strongly negative effect on you. that's why the solution is stuff like what the developer has done, not actual charges.

It's not being a baby when something that isn't real effects you, especially when it's specifically designed to be as real as possible and is so effective that people are trying to place their controllers on desks that don't exsist. Surprise, there are negative cons...

It's a video game in VR. Virtual Reality. A system specifically intended to make everything feel as real as possible that is so effictive it quickly produces motion sickness because the brain actually thinks you're moving when your body says you aren't, that has people (who like horror games) screaming and crying at horror games and has people trying to lean over or put their controlers on non-exsistant objects leading to faceplants and dropping things.

Have you heard/seen the stories of people leaning over non-exsistant desks and faceplanting or consistently trying to put their controllers on desks that don't exsist and dropping them in VR? Or have you ever played a game or movie that scared you? Have you heard the stories about even mediocre horror games being terrifying in VR and good horror games just being too intense for people?

This is that. You're in an enviroment built specifically to trick your brain into...

SOME consumers like to have information before they drop 60 bucks on a game because that's the only game they can afford for like 3 months.

SOME consumers like to know about bugs or critical design flaws before buying,

SOME consumers like to know some of the nuance of the specific systems and such to determine if they're interested and/or if it was executed well.

SOME consumers want to have information from people who don't hav...

No, it's not. It's a lose on your part 100% of the time. You'll never get their pre-order stuff (up to and including full games) unless you spend extra money. If you wait, you're punished for it. If you pre-order you take a gamble on games based soley on the information provided by the people with a 50million dollar steak in selling you the game wether you'll actually enjoy it or not. So you lose there too,.

Bethesda ACTIVELY PUNISHES people for waiting by engaging in the same pre-order stuff as just about every other major publisher. So either you buy on blind faith or you have to spend extra money. Maybe if they didn't push pre-orders just as hard as everyone else then you'd have a point, but they do so you're ignoring the fact that they've deliberately set up a lose/lose situation for the customer where you gamble on an unknown quantity or have to spend extra money on the same ...

Why do you follow me around saying stupid shit?

People are *ACTIVELY* punished for waiting for reviews by having to pay *MORE MONEY* for the SAME GAME (in the form of whatever pre-order "bonus" is attached to the game.) I already explained that in the post you're responding to.

Bethesda has set up a situation where you buy based soley on their PR (and we all know games PR is so accurate and never lies about anything) or you spend more money...

Uh, no. WTF are you even talking about?

1: What does it matter if some people think a reviewer is or isn't trustworthy, based on Bethesda's stated reason or preventing leaks, as long as Bethesda knows they won't leak things? All Bethesda has to do is only give keys to reviewers they already know are credible (the angry joes, IGNs and total biscuits.)

2: Game reviewers are not a monolith. Total biscuit isn't responsible for the actions of ...

It's called consumer protection genius. Some people, in fact most people, can't really afford to throw $60 at a game that may or may not be good based on pre-release information that may or may not be accurate that may or may not give them an experience they enjoy, and pre-order culture *actively* punishes people who wait to buy the game till reviews come out if there were no review copies.

It's not about decding wether or not a game is objectively good based ...
