Persona 3-5 and Doom 2016 win by virtue of being the only ones I listen to regularly outside of playing the games. Doom is probably at the top, the album version is just incredible.
Honorable mentions go to the entire Zelda and Mario catalog, especially LttP and Super Mario World. They’re the nostalgic sounds of my childhood and stuck in my head often, I just don’t go out of my way to listen to them.
The only reason would be playing games online, old firmware gets locked out a couple weeks after an update releases.
But there’s also no real reason not to if you’re already running CFW. As long as Luma is reasonably up-to-date, a system update can’t break anything.
Rockstar has been moving that way in general for years. They get so focused on the immersive and sim stuff, they forget that they made their name on over-the-top chaotic fun. Everything from GTA4 onward suffers for it, other than RDR1 that struck a decent balance between the approaches.
Not only is it 12 years later, but when the game does finally come out it’s going to be the usual Bethesda bugfest. And I’m sure that’ll be left to modders to patch, as is tradition.
But because it’s Bethesda, most people will eat it up.
I think the other way around is more likely. Their users having normal access in and out, but outsiders having limited access to Meta content. Going for the “exclusive club” vibe and making the users feel “special” will keep most of them in the garden.
That game took one of my most hated mechanics (binary moral choices), came up with a concept for it I could have actually loved (the personas arguing), then botched the execution so badly that it felt even worse than a normal morality system. Impressive is certainly the word for Gollum, just not in the way the devs hoped.
YT ReVanced has Sponsorblock built in, it can skip those ads for you. It is community-run though, somebody has to have watched it first to flag that segment.
That said, I usually let those run to support the channel. The creators aren’t making much from standard ads, but I’ll watch the ones they actually get paid for.
They hit r/LemmyMigration and it’s creator once already, right before they announced the Spez AMA. They were quietly unbanned after a while with claims of it being a “mistake”.
I have a feeling they’ll try a much more thorough purge soon, despite all evidence showing how disastrously that would backfire.
You can, it just isn’t necessarily obvious at first. Typing also filters the suggested instances list, so it seems like a search box instead of a text input.
If you haven’t already, definitely give 4 a try. The gameplay isn’t as polished, but you can see where everything you loved about 5 came from. And the story/characters are arguably even better than 5.
