10 WEIRD Gaming Stories of April 2024 

👍🏼

He's a bird. He isn't that intelligent😂

@@billsny9243rude 😡

This guy tho 😂

​@@baggypop7536@billsny9243 It's true, though. 😂

renting a car isn't owning it either but stealing it is still theft last I checked.

​@@kingindyThe button on their store says "Buy this game" that would imply ownership. Car dealership cant say "buy this car for 200.-" and then hand you a rental contract either.

​​​@@kingindyPiracy is not theft. It's copyright infringement/violation, which IS a different thing.

@@kingindycopyright infringement is not theft… if you steal a car, the previous owner loses the car. If you get a game for free, the creator still has infinite copies to sell.

@@kingindyrental contracts don’t give all indications you are buying the car along with expressly stating you will have ownership of the car. You’re not financing a video game and paying additional interest up to 400% above what the actual value of the game is either.

He said what I was thinking, for sure. It's a very accurate response to that sort of corpo ridiculousness.

It was so genuine.

I think you mean "publishers" . The devs work for them and its usually where all the short sighted greedy idiocy comes from(most cases at least)

Unfortunately, they couldn't save the Crew =(

Here's to hoping that more people learn how to crack denuvo

Sure they do, if you like malware and getting your data stolen.

Unless they are Nintendo, who spends more effort on it's lawyers than on the games. But at least old nintendo games are worth preserving. Many other japanese games are just some cursed anime dating simp rubbish.

If someone presents it to the EU where they feel something they can benefit from is being denied, just like most political organizations of power, they’ll step in. That said, it’s hard to series what Ubisoft thinks they’re going to get away with as anything but legal theft.

Wouldn't it be nice if the U.S. grew a backbone and stood up for the consumer every once in a while too? I know it's a hard thing to ask for from a completely corporation run country, but it would definitely be nice.

Also most EULA's do not hold up in court. With the recent precedents getting set against HP and John Deer over right to repair, the argument can be made that fans removing DRM and setting up mods to enable offline play for games that have become unsupported is them repairing their property, and the IP holder has no right to revoke access or prevent this from occurring. Also Ross Scott's campaign has been getting serious traction, especially with Ubisoft's blatant theft.

Yes please look it up. There might be something you can due, depended on where you live.

Yup nontuble it is correct.

After sextuple, just look at the months for up to ten. There are ones for 11 onward but why?

It means five at the sime time though. Not five in a row...

@@vladislavpalenik329 He asked what came after Quadruple A which is Quintuple A or "AAAAA".

Can here to comment this immediately and saw your comment nice!👌

I thought the same thing lol. I actually totally appreciated Falcon pointing it out because people saying "nucular" is like nails on a chalkboard to me. That being said, Falcon misprouncing "iteration" is a very close second. Still love the guy and his content though!

he says rowlette wheel in this video too instead of roulette in this exact video. Actually hilarious

He does it intentionally to get hate comments and drive up engagement. It works

Thats great and all, but anyone that grinds that much on a game has no life. Is he making a living off of this? Then i stand corrected, otherwise id ask if he can even point out ukraine on a map.

@@anthonyfaccaro7118 Fuck Ukraine

​@@anthonyfaccaro7118All that waffling to say jackshit... Bottom line is, why does it bother you so much how the guy spends his time?

That's awesome, much kudos to them! 👍

Honestly that's why I am happy I buy some of my games from Asia or elsewhere. When I am curious about trading in it forces me to not and I go back to the games I like and remember why I like it.

The day the industry goes fully digital is the day I build a PC and never pay for a game ever again

In my opinion my biggest complaint is games that require online service to play. I’m fine with digital as they would literally have no reason to take games away without uproar, but like with the crew, they took down the servers so it was useless and they have an argument, a shitty one but still, on why they could take it away

yeah I still buy blu ray's and physical games when I can. It's so much better.

I tried telling people. On here, no less. I got called a relic and a fearmonger, and was told to shut up. F*ck, am I getting tired of being right.

I said the same when HL2 required steam.

That would be beyond ugly. And ads have gotten out of control as of late too.

@@Bman32x Doesnt mean it wont happen . Any time there is something scummy (but profitable) the publishers can slam into a product and not get sued for (or think they wont) , they 100% will try it at some point

@@Bman32x unfortunately this is how it is bro what's worst is idk if we will even be able to get ad blocker for something like that.. money is king after all so am not fully as excited as i used to be for this tech

How about when they start inserting "persuasion coding" into those ads?

Imagine seeing a BSOD

What is the technical requirements for software to be considered abandonware?

@ChrisTedoni At least in regards to my personal views, it has to not be legally purchaseable anywhere or belong to the pc disk game era and is otherwise unplayable if you have no disk drive. I don't think anyone is being hurt because people want to play something they may have even bought(The Crew, for instance)

Me too

I stopped buying ubisoft games around far cry 4 was the last one. Because of this exact reason. Be the change you want to see. We hold the power, vote with your dollars guys.

What did Ubisoft do ?

@@dallasgoodfellow1686 they said players gotta get use to not owning games which me at some point when they delist a game they'll take it from your library. There is one reported case that a player hadn't logged in his Ubisoft account to play a game in years and when he tried he was denied access to play it.

@@Wenvolt damn thats wack but i thought that with every company and we domt own any of the media we buy

You'd get banned for botting

​You can't be banned if YOU are the bot. 😉

Agreed

Came to comment this, thank you!

And then Sextuple (6), Septuple (7), and Octuple (8)!

👆🏻

I thought they were hacked, though? Are you referring to the big debacle with the ransomware? Or was there a leak I'm not aware of?

Hang in there. There’s always someone to talk to. Lot of us are going through similar or the same thing as you. We want you here 😊

Ya'll joke, but there is a concernedly large amount of Denuvo shills out there who gladly support the software because it "Makes money for the developers" and "only pirate scum dislike Denuvo".

They're not the problem. The beloved companies that buy their crap are the problem. And you keep giving them all your money.

👍

Yep

or even AAAA games lol

Hours per dollar spent is a weird way to determine a game’s value.

@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205I really hope the solution to the AAA budget issue is just make shorter, less bloated games. Almost every major AAA game, no matter how good it is, has bloat, and is simply designed to waste the players time. I’m not a dev, but I wonder how all these half baked ideas, mini games, puzzles (I like puzzles, but not all are made equally), and side stories add up and costs to implement. Would cuttting back only save a few thousand dollars or millions? I’d really like to know.

​@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205it's a pretty poor metric for intending to buy a game, though it's fairly good as a recommendation N the sense of "I played this cheap indie game and got hundreds of hours of fun out of it".

Hours per dollar they certainly are not lol Say an indie game is $20, and you get 5-7 hrs of gameplay. We’ll average at 6. 20/6=$3.33 per hour. Or the average AAA game, say you get 50hrs, we’ll average since some go way higher. 70/50=$1.40 per hour of gameplay. Obviously these numbers change on price and hours, but in almost every case you’ll get better dollar per hour value in AAA. Not sure why you chose that metric

No you haven’t, not til you change that pfp 😂

@@Skateandcreate9 Nah. Too lazy.

I'm about there too. Too many changes that resulted in loss of fun. Anybody remember fun? It's why old farts like me started playing when we weren't old. But the younger players don't play for fun. They play for phony fulfillment and accomplishment points. The dopamine hit for "doing" something. Except they're not actual doing anything, and it's more like an addiction at this point.

I think the skill floor issue might be more the point, especially with fighting games. Barring a handful of games that consistently bring in new blood to the multiplayer scene, if you aren’t playing day one, then it can be extremely hard to catch up just because there’s so few opportunities to match with players that are close enough in skill level to actually learn from your losses.

and iam just guessing here but iam pretty sure that probably half of the people who bought tekken only play the campaign with every character so basically only PVE

Yeah man, because adults don't have 10+ hours a day to dedicate to these types of games. The entire point and purpose of them is to functionality test yourself. Good luck keeping up if you don't no life from day one. A reality you'll hit sooner rather than later when you have more responsibilities than just school. Harada isn't correct, he just oversimplified the issue to put himself and his game genre in a better light. So no, it's not a lack of personal responsibility/blame shirking, it's literally a cost-benefit analysis. Also, if you (and Harada) are seriously saying that people don't make excuses in one on ones, then I have a bridges to sell you both.

Or now here me out here. People like social experiences. So would you rather do a one v one, or play with a group of buddies?

Every time someone says something along the lines of "young people these days" I'm extremely skeptical; it was already used by one of those old Greeks (2,5000 - 3,000 yrs ago?).

Money would definitely solve 99 of 100 problems I am dealing with right now. So yes the answer is money for sure.

Honestly I agree fully

Theres more where that came from too. You ever hear of the guy that wanted to charge players per reload in battlefield games?

Gaming is the only industry left before it got truly rotten with other industry's scummy practice. Remember when it supposed to be an alternative from watching cinema / films where buying one game could give you hundreds of entertainment before it get stale. Enthusiastic and savvy people are carrying the industry with their wallets

GOG is truly the best.

🤝🦅

And by developers I trust you mean publishers/marketing team. Because a lot of the time the only thing a developer can do is quit the job, which generally isn't desired considering it probably wouldn't make any impact as long as said dev isn't a higher up.

😅

Well the Rockstar leak is because there was a hacker accessing employee's footage. I think some random employee will get fired for it because some random hacker / leaked uses their footage

It’s bc real ones know about this struggle 🤣

👌

yeah the point is gen Z are garbage

"Wake up George, you want a cheeseburger at 2am." followed by smelling and even tasting a delicious cheeseburger.

Morning!

Morning!

@@gameranxTVThank ya very much:)

😅

Remember that cybernetic spine thing yeah it lasted a week then got dropped

He can use his brain to think of where he wants the mouse to go on his PC, and it works exactly like that.

​@@tony4twentyso that's a no then, shame

Seriously. I get being upset with censorship, it's never a good thing, but some of these people are blowing it way out of proportion lol

*BRING BACK THE GOOCH!*

False advertising? No, a sad turn of events? absolutely I think censorship is bullshit honestly and laws should be passed AGAINST it instead force people to actually use their God damn brains and make parents solely responsible for what their kids consume

👍

What do you want? Socialism gaming?😂 Capitalism is how you get companies competing and how we get better games. Stockholder capitalism is a different story.

​@ShinobiDrip999 Socialism gaming AKA Corporatism.

@@Robedon so you're saying we have socialism now? Because if you hadn't noticed America is owned by corporations.. so either you don't understand what socialism is or you're living in an alternative reality.

@@Enigmaenick Corporatism is a form of socialism. The government aides and funds these companies, just like Ubisoft.

👍

All industries get taken over by people who are only in it for the profits and not the actual industry. This is backwards thinking.
