Cesur bir iddia: Rockstar Games biraz overrated

24 yaşındayım, Rockstar oyunlarını 7-8 yaşından beridir oynuyorum. Fakat çeşitli türlerden farklı oyunlar bitirdikçe, oyunlar hakkında fikirlerim geliştikçe ve oyun zevkim genişleyip evrildikçe Rockstar'ın çok overrated olduğunu düşünmeye başladım.

Evet grafikler şahane, evet mükemmel open worldler yaratıyorlar, evet hikayeleri harika. Ama gameplay ve mission design olarak cidden rezil rüsvalar. Araba/atı x noktasına sür, çatışmaya gir. RDR1'deki görevlerin temiz %85'i filan böyleydi. Bir yerden sonra kusma seviyesine getiriyor insanı.

GTA VI'nın da bu kadar hypelanmasını saçma buluyorum. Eğer gameplay ve mission design konusunda yine çağın oyunlarından geride kalacak bir oyun yaparlarsa artık insanların Rockstar'a sağlam eleştirilerde bulunması gerekiyor. Daha satışa çıkmadan neredeyse kâra geçecek seviyede pre-order sayılarına ulaşması da Rockstar'ı herhangi bir şekilde bir şirket olarak evrilmeye ve gelişmeye itmeyecek. ''Demek ki seviyorlar böyle devam edelim'' diyecekler.

Rockstar'ın hedef kitlesinin daha casual oyuncular olduğu bir gerçek ama sırf casual oyunculara yönelik oyun yapıyorlar ve bu kadar geniş bir kitleleri var diye son yıllarda eleştiriye immune bir firma olmalarını saçma buluyorum. CAPCOM'un şuanki inanılmaz gelişimi ve 2017'den bu yana ardı arkasına banger oyunlar ve remakeler çıkarmalarının sebebi RE6'nın yerden yere vurulmasıydı. Eleştiri her zaman iyidir ve eğer dikkate alınırsa gelişimin önünü açar, Rockstar'ın da eleştiriye tabi tutulması gerekli.

Yüksek ihtimal çok fazla downvote yiyeceğim, ama bu uzun süredir içimde tuttuğum bir unpopular opinion'dı.

Had a big argument with mom, I want to apologise but she won't answer my calls. I feel restless and can't do anything. What must I do?

I (24M) admittedly said a thing I shouldn't have said that touched a deep wound. I regret saying it but it didn't come from nothing. I was angry at her for trying to control my life and giving basic advice to me like I'm still a child. I feel like she doesn't respect my intelligence. And I was tired of her calling me every single day. But what I said was too far and I want to apologise to her.

When I said it she sounded like she was about to cry and hung up. I have called her 58 times over and over for two days straight and she hasn't answered. She's 75 years old and I worry that she has cut me off completely and the last thing I have said to her caused a rift between her and me.

I thought of texting her but she has never been good with technology and can't text at all. She uses her phone to just call people, watch videos, and check Google recommendations from the home page.

What can I do?

What was your weirdest win?

I recently won my first Gold Stake run with a Negative Swashbuckler and Egg setup alongside a high level Pair thanks to the Burnt Joker. I got a Hologram to a high XMult by just buying every single Standard Pack.

I had perfect PhotoChad and BaronMime runs ended by hard counter bosses yet this one managed to somehow win.

Non-roguelike/lite singleplayer games with a major focus on gameplay elements.

I'm really tired of playing games that are basically interactive movies with bland gameplay elements and repetitive mission structure. The last game I finished was RDR1 and it was a slog, the game has great characters, a beautifully crafted open world and an interesting story; but the missions and gameplay are incredibly repetitive and boring. Ride or drive to X spot, get into a shootout of sorts, repeat. It gets tedious after a while. I'm looking for a non-roguelike/lite singleplayer game that has enjoyable gameplay.

Tried and bounced off:
Sekiro: The difficulty jump from Souls games and being stuck HARD at a certain boss that I can't remember the name of made me make a decision between destroying my controller or quitting the game for good, I chose the latter. Yes I know I have a skill issue.

Will eventually play:
-All the RE games as I have fallen in love with them at the start of this year, but RE5 really burnt me and my friend out so we're taking some time off before jumping into RE6 and beyond.

-RDR2 as I hear it is a big improvement over 1 on almost all fronts, and as it gets praised universally.

Preferences:
-Don't really want to play another Soulslike around this time.

-As long as the gameplay is compelling and the gameplay systems are not ancient, I'm okay with any game.

[FM24] How can I have a possession tactic that is more focused on carrying the ball forwards rather than side to side and backwards?

So I generally use a 4-3-3 that turns into a 2-3-5 attacking shape like in the photo. My team retains a ton of possession but chance creation is abysmal, almost every highlight starts with side to side passing that leads to a wayward cross. I'd rather have 55% of the ball with a ton of quality shots rather than 70% that barely gets any quality shots on target and draws 0-0.

What would you change about the tactic?

What do you think exactly makes Rockstar games so good?

I normally hate open worlds, I finished Elden Ring in 50 something hours because I got bored of running around in the world and the exploration didn't seem meaningful after a certain point. I don't find Rockstar's games challenging or get a rush from beating certain parts or the game in general. I think that some of their games have horrendous controls. But somehow, someway they just grab my attention and I always finish them and enjoy them a lot.

I really enjoyed GTA VC and SA as a kid, and IV and V as a teenager and an adult. And I recently started playing RDR1 and I played it for 3 hours in one sitting and I'm having a blast.

If I were to ask someone to recommend me a game and tell them that I hate open worlds they would scratch off Rockstar's games from the list immediately, yet they are some of the best games I've ever played and enjoyed.

What does Rockstar do so well that they can make someone who doesn't like open worlds enjoy open worlds?

Recommendations if I value variety between runs?

My first roguelite was Hades and while I loved a lot of things about the game (the story, the voice acting, the art style, etc.), it got boring quickly because the game got incredibly repetitive. In my opinion, the boons don't really affect the gameplay that much, the weapon variety is very limited, the combat is mostly button mashing, and the levels, enemies, and bosses are just the same.

I thought that roguelike/roguelites were just not my cup of tea and I escaped once and then quit Hades. But I recently got into Balatro and realized that what I value in these genres is variety. I love the endless possibilities the game gives you. One run, I can focus on just playing a High Card build and creating absolutely broken Joker+Tarot+Spectral combinations; the next run I can go for a totally different idea and try a Flush or a Straight build with completely different Jokers. The game is eating up all my free time and I'm not annoyed even a tiny bit.

I want to explore other games in the genre have a lot of variety. I love when a run feels completely fresh and different from the last one.

Which games would you recommend that fit my preferences?

I normally hate roguelike/lites but Balatro is incredible.

I don't know what makes this game so good but it just has me hooked. Normally roguelike/lites bore me as I hate having to go through stuff I've already gone through. Even critically acclaimed ones like Hades and Dead Cells sit in my library with 3-4 hours of gameplay over years of owning them.

I decided to try Balatro while I was alone in Discord as I recently got the Game Pass to play a co-op game with friends and had nothing else to do. And I just sunk 3 hours into this game, and I'm right now heading to the Steam Store page to buy the game and support the devs.

I don't know how but a roguelike finally felt fun and somehow not repetitive in a game that is based on cards and poker hands (which can easily get super repetitive).

I'm looking for a CoD game with a slightly slower TTK? Is MWIII it?

I come from games that are more tracking focused and have longer TTK like Apex. I recently quit competitive FPS games as I find them incredibly mentally draining. I've been spending a lot of time in BF6 recently, but getting home from work, aim training, and hopping on BF6 until I sleep gets boring quickly.

I've been looking for another FPS game to play alongside BF6, and decided to check out some CoD titles. I tried playing old school CoD games on Plutonium but I just hate lightning fast TTK and killing or dying instantly. I like it when I, or my enemy, have the chance to fight back. Makes fights much more skill based and interesting IMO. People say that MWIII has a longer TTK compared to older CoD titles and fights take longer, which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Is it still the case with the game? And is the game still safe to play on official servers without getting RCE'd?

Does anyone else feel like most FPS games are boring nowadays?

I'm honestly at a point in which I enjoy aim training in KovaaK's with some TBDM in the background more than playing FPS games.

I quit competitive FPS because they are just way too mentaly draining, CoD is just garbage, Battlefield is fun but gets boring really quickly, tried The Finals but it was just missing something that I can not put a label on, it just bored me after a couple of hours and I didn't want to play it ever again...

I don't know if it's just me not being 17 anymore or if the FPS genre is going downhill.

Am I wrong for thinking that Call of Duty (especially the older titles) don't reward good aim as much as Battlefield?

I've been aim training casually for 120 hours (just spamming Gridshot and some other BS scenarios that aren't even remotely hard in Aimlabs), and seriously (actually training every category and subcategory in KovaaK's and tracking my scores) for 70. I made it to Voltaic Plat Complete recently after that 70 hours of serious training. I'm not insane like some of you are but I do think I'm way better than the average FPS player and slightly above average than players who actively aim train.

I've mostly quit competitive FPS games as I find them incredibly draining mentally. So I jumped backed into Battlefield (4,6) and CoD (BO2 Plutonium, IW4X, T7X) 7-8 years later. And I personally think that I've had rose tinted glasses all this time, also think that the lightning fast TTK, the absurdly strong flinch, and the zero recoil in CoD just doesn't let me actually fight people. Whoever sees the other first just autowins the fight, you can't react and outaim them because the TTK is too fast and the aim punch just destroys your chance of fighting back. The slightly slower TTK in Battlefield and the lack of flinch makes it so that I can actually stay alive and fight and outaim others even if they see me first or land the first shot. If I get 30 kills in CoD I die like 20-25 times, if I get 30 in Battlefield I die 10-15 times.

Curious about what your opinions are on this?

T7X is basically dead, is CleanOps more active and as safe?

NamelessNoobs flags my IP falsely as VPN/Proxy and I can only play in less populated EU servers or in US servers with 180+ ping.

I see a lot of players active on Steamcharts, I presume they are mostly on Cleanops. Is this really the case?
