VideoGamer's Monday Morning Rant

Videogamer writes:

"OK. This rant is something that won't bother everyone. In truth it's something that only bothers me every now and then, but when it crops up my faith in the offender as a solid developer is diminished. What am I talking about? Lack of customisation options in video games.

This problem can come in many levels of severity. Let's take Microsoft's Scene it? as an example of a slight problem. The game isn't anything we haven't seen before, but it's done well and is one of the increasing number of titles that appeals to gamers and non-gamers alike. But it's totally devoid of options.

But there's worse still. Video games are designed with right-handers in mind. Thankfully I'm right handed, but for many left handed players the ability to switch the control of the left and right analogue sticks around can make the difference between a game being great and totally unplayable. Again, this is something that isn't hard for a developer to do, but it's something that is often not included. For these 'southpaw' gamers, this option means everything and developers simply don't seem to give the problem the respect it deserves."

What kind of freaking options do you need for SceneIt? ?

There are right and wrong answers, don't complain if you're just stupid.

Why do games now seem to only allow one save now? It means when my friends come over, I'm reluctant to let them have a go because they're going to affect my score. Is there a way round this? It really bugs me!

Thank you for listening :)

Another thing that really peaved me about the PS2 is that most games won't recognize the memory card in slot 2.

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.

Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.

But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?

Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.

Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...

I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey

What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.

Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.

Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.

Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
