@brian_: unfortunanetly I think this is whats going to end up happening.

Hello, I am currently playing thru Cyberpunk and finding the game quite boring.

I am currently lvl 23 and have done all of reginas and wakakas gigs and havent really found any of them enjoyable/meaningful to do.

So to try and keep my interest in this game going and to prevent me from going out and buying super robot wars I am looking to crowd source a list of quests/gigs etc that other people have found worth doing to try and see if i can find something in this game I find enjoyable.

Also I am not trying to say that the game is bad its just not hitting with me.

So this is my own personal experience and it might help to explain why some people have this view of the community.

I first tried a souls game with dark souls 2 after seeing so many people say such good things about it when it was released. I played it for 10 minutes before I returned it as I didn't like the way the character felt when moving, something about it seemed plodding and unresponsive. When discussing this with someone the first response wasnt something along the lines of oh that sucks you didnt like it or anything it was along the lines of "oh you just dont get it".

The next game I played was bloodborne as I heard the game played a bit faster. I found this game to be fantastic and really enjoyed it. However the few times I was stuck and asked around about what certain stats meant, how to lvl for the kind of build I was going for, or what certain items even did I was met with responses of look it up, the game tells you everything you need to know pay attention etc. Granted I played the game several years after its initial release so I can unserstand to a point people maybe being tired of answering some questions etc but the utter hostility of the responses definitely made me sour on asking for help from the community.

Now with Elden Ring i look around and all I see are people saying using in game mechanics are bad at the game or not even playing the game the way it is intended, meanwhile they die to margit 40 times because they are too stuborn to summon, or the counter argument that the people playing without using the summons are the real noobs and bad at the game etc.

Also there seems to be a large portion of the vocal community who seem to think that saying you would like it if the game had something in it (a minimap, notes log, etc) is equivlent to you saying the game design is shit and then taking it as a personal attack.

There may be a large portion of the community willing to help people or listen to ideas without immediately taking the things said as a personal attack but they are either too few and far between, or too quiet for a person only casually interested in the game or trying to find a quick answer to something to rely on.

In conclusion at this point in time much like the overall view of the smash community the bad vocal majority has ruined the general perception of the community as a whole and I doubt it will ever actually recover.

Sorry this got longer and more rambly than originally intended.

Man where to even begin with this. I am aying on switch but I think most of these issues apply to all console versions.

How did they botch this so badly.

Consistent frame rate drops on switch

Only 4 people partys on switch

No way to implement some of the pc features like /players 8 makes farming less productive than the pc version

Match making is horrible due to the lack of a lobby/the ability to see what games you can join.

The inventory managemen6 is atrocious. Cant auto fill tomes, need to drag a cursor over every individual item which takes for ever when trying to refill your belt at a vendor or after a death.

Trying to deposit gold in your stash takes forever. Already have 2,488,881 in your stash page and want to deposit some of the 200,000 in your inventory better sit still and wait for that counter to trickle down from the max since you cant type in the amount and the game wont fill it to max automatically.

This could have been fantastic and instead it feels lile the bare minimum was done to try and make some quick $ because Diablo 4 is likely going to end up gettimg delayed again and Blizzard needed to try and get a win fast. Game should have been held back for 6 months to a year at least.

That being said im still something like 25 hrs in and just picked it up 4 days ago...

Edited to add in that if I am missing how to do any of these things on the console/switch versions let me know.

When I am at a low point I try and play games that I either havent ated before so im not reminded of times in my life when I played them previously or that are outside of my comfort zone so I am not able to compare them to anything else.

This is how I discovered the yakuza series and those games have some down moments but they also have so many off the walls crazy moments that I eventually end up smiling.

I was going to give up but was in target a month ago and they had a series s in stock.

Arcanum is a hell of a game that my min/max obsessed brain can not handle playing again even though I have tried numerous times over the years.

You are absolutely right about FF7 and Diablo

@darksouls1988: I agree with you.

Mine is that all non fmv/vr first person games would be better as 3rd person games.
