He's actually got ~50 games(2 full Switch screens plus some in a third) registered on Switch but that includes downloads or Xbox Arcade games or whatever Nintendo call it. I've seen it, I did not save the screenshots because I promised and the PM is probably purged. Marissa, the screenshots are clean, you can post them if you want.

I remember that being the result of her being misplaced, they tried to make her the public face of Assassin's Creed and it backfired because she didn't appear credible. It was Ubi pandering to the proto-woke in a way. Except without the current insanity. To their credit, iirc, Ubisoft saw the response and changed things up. But at the time I would like to believe that they had their heart in the right place.

She absolutely got her name out there because of this AND that comic in particular, sort of like Zoe Quinn. Except I don't think Raymond is a bad person that should be punted in the cunt.

Oh, he sent me a PM asking me if I could keep a secret, the secret being those screenshots, so I sent him back a quick picture of a shelf of my Switch games 'cause I thought he actually wanted to talk about game collecting, but he never replied. I thought it was kinda weird that he just sent me screenshots of his "all software" screen on his Switch, considering you can't tell if a game is installed by way of the eShop or a cartridge if it isn't highlighted, but a reverse image search didn't turn up a match. They weren't much of a secret, and had absolutely nothing personally identifying.

Nah those include no downloads, those are all physical copies I showed you.

See I made sure to have all titles with a known digital wide release and a limited physical release to be selected because having them inserted meant I would have to have opened the package destroying any and all possible value to the people who collect funco pops.

Why post the exact same screenshot you sent me back in November? You haven't bought anything new since then? And why can't you just post a picture of your shelf?

Careful, techpriest said the same thing, now he's forever known as that one KF user that won't eat the hat

Yes that was before SMT5 got released. Because that and a few others got added since then.

And as far as my physical shelf goes, it gets easily traced back to shit.

The forum may have fucked up something because I did reply to you after the message. Because we had similar older games and I had to dig out my old copy of test drive on mac.

Collector's edition takes up a single row by itself, get that hat ready

Why? Is it a famous shelf? Do you store your games on Christina Hendricks' rack or something?

Yes something like that

Some GT7 players are getting around the long-ass grind to get the expensive cars, by running a script to farm credits. And I don't want to imagine the shitstorm that would come, if PD bans players for doing this, as well as banning people for making anti-MTX liveries.

That's been perfectly legal for many other games for eons, running the script on top of remote play with a bunch of pre-programmed commands has yet to be considered something against the TOS. This goes as far back as the PS3 with ways to exploit grinding. You're not modifying the Operating system and you're not needing to install anything that screws with the system's hardware. There's no way to detect this is being done in much the same way they can't detect you using a turbo or programmable controller.

It's just an overly complex way of tying a rubber band around your analog stick.

Putting a popsicle stick on your keyboard is a bannable offense in Path of Exile. Do you really this a current gen live service game wouldn't reee over a rubberband at the very least?

I mean maybe in the future, but what they're doing with GT7 is something people have been doing with the remote play since the beginning.

The remote play application honestly has no way of telling if someone is AFK while grinding or not. That very same example you gave has been mentioned in circles, but the program as of current cannot detect such things.

Mind you I've personally left controllers rubberbanded overnight to grind shit out in games. The scripting application basically tells your computer to tell the controller what buttons to press since you usually have to have your controller connected to USB while playing in remote play on your PC. The machine still registers it as a regular button press, you can even fake gyro controls registers with the scripting.

Path of Exile has no way of knowing if you just have really fast fingers, a cat walked on the right keys, or are putting a popsicle stick on the number row of your keyboard. Probably a bad comparison because GGG is composed of autists that sold out to China for Magic the Gathering money.

Honestly Sony does nothing to save files that are uploaded to their cloud that have been modified by programs like Save Wizard which is a hex editor.

Games like GTA which have an online component that can report people who are cheating are usually run by the developer and not strictly through sony. With the amount of GAAS stuff they're wanting to do, they probably will have their own anti-cheat methods operating in the future.

Great security, Sony.
 
Hagerty members who also own GT7 appear to get a gift McLaren F1 GTR:

While the gift car is nice, I'm not sure this would be a good look, given how microtransactions are the biggest complaint about this game.

1648089840886.png 1648089852945.png

And it actually happened. GT7 now has the same Metacritic User Rating, as WWE 2K20. When your game reaches 2K20 levels of low, that's the definition of fucking a game up.

And more and more videos about GT7's microtransaction fiasco are coming out:


Now I'm just waiting for YongYea to make another video, when GT7's Metacritic User Rating drops below WWE 2K20's rating.

The first time in a while where I’ve seen a Gran Turismo game be on the verge of being one of the worst video games of the year.

This is a far cry from GT3: A-Spec and GT4.

You're just thinking of the baseline garden variety, but they're looking to go global.

Do you have any idea how many kinds there are? They come in all different colors and sizes. White, Yellow, Curry, Maple, hell even Taco varieties.

It's shit like this that reminds me why I never take "critics" seriously.

The reality is no matter what the critic or user reviews say, the game is still ranking up there on some of the most played games on PSN which means people are spending cash daily on this since launch and it's player count has not been falling.

The previous GTs already had microtransactions out the wazoo like Sport. So the question is, are the people decrying the microtransactions a vocal minority since there are many demographics out there who now consider microtransactions normal?

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
Did Sony's fuckups also completely break your ability to make "witty" analogies too? The fuck even is that mess of words you just typed.

Also still waiting on those shelf pics
