Ok, and electing Trump who has said he 100% approves of the genocide also, and would like to also kill protesters domestically is better? He also wants to remove our constitution, democracy, and round up the kind of people having these very discussions. And I agree Biden absolutely should move faster to do something about what is happening, but being upset about it and then pissing away any chance it could get better, among all the things that will surely get worse does not compute for me.

If they don’t vote for democracy, they are allowing the rise of a dictator. A dictator that is going to make their world a whole lot worse. Someone calling them an anti-semite when they know they aren’t, and the Jewish people protesting with them know they are not, sucks and is misguided. But that shouldn’t be reason enough to hand democracy over to the guy who wants to be a dictator. The next protest they attend will have the military putting it down, or his proud boys.

I’m not following your logic here. Not voting, or actually voting for Trump both work in his favor because his base is going to vote for him no matter what. You would only be hurting the side that wants us to continue to have future elections. But at the end of the day if you can look in the mirror and be ok with selling out democracy more power to ya.

It had votes/support from both sides. And giving away democracy because you’re upset about a social media site seems like a bad take. Imagine telling future generations you traded the country’s democracy because you were mad at them because they took away your short video sites.

But voting Trump would be just throwing gas on that fire. He is all in on this genocide and has called it great. His base thinks they need the Jews to trigger Armageddon so the Zombie Sky Wizard can come save them all. He would also pull funding from Ukraine, and back Putin in anything he wants.

Also anyone writing that the protests are antisemitism are spreading right wing talking points. They know the majority of the left have an issue with being seen as racist, while they wear their hoods with pride.

EDIT - autocorrect is my enemy.

Ugh, I HATE making plans that far out because who knows how I’m going to feel, what the weather is going to be like, etc.

Which is the same as a vote for a dictator. And that is super cool if you are looking forward to Project 2025, and selling out loved ones so they can be put in camps as political prisoners.

Who votes for the dictator because of losing TikTok?

Orebolo - 3 guys playing acoustic perfection.

Goose - same 3 guys from Orebolo, but with the rest of the band, non-acoustic, and some good jams.

I think in this case “self host” would be on a VPS, not at home. But you definitely would want to lock it down so it was open to the public.

Exactly the opposite. I am 100% behind anyone that has actually played it and has valid concerns, like performance being the big one. I’m only against the pitchfork brigade parroting things that are outright untrue, and has tangible evidence as proof. I do not peddle in, or tolerate, the alternative facts business.

Because I"m not OK with people continuing to spread dishonest information? That is a weird take. The amount of purposeful ignorance to the facts has become contagious around here. I try and point out how none of the shit talking around here carries any water, and somehow I’m the one that should be concerned. I did not realize I had stumbled onto Facebook, my bad. I’ll let you get on with your misinformation farm, you have another election to deny coming up, must be a busy time of year for you.

I just have a problem with people spreading misinformation like a parrot with something they “heard somewhere”. You are basically spreading lies, and when confronted have doubled down on them. Does speaking truth to lies make me the enemy now? Bragging about being uninformed and spreading misinformation does not seem like a great hill to die on personally, but to each their own. You are free to speak your lies, but I will continue to call them out as such.

Mods, is this community about spreading misinformation?? If so I’m more than happy to leave the community, and ban it as such from my instance.

This is misinformation. No “bait and switch” occurred at all. You have to go out of your way to even find the micro-transactions, and then when you do they are useless if you have actually played your way through the game. Reviewers got all of this in detail with their review keys, but adding time into your review to talk about something that is basically an afterthought and has no affect on the actual game seems like a waste of time. These people are all rushing to release content as soon as the embargo is lifted. So putting extra time into a review to talk about something 99% of people will never see does not have a great return on effort.

Worse. Not sure about micro transactions but the dlc was released on day 2 with no prior information or heads up. Truly scum of earth behavior.

These are your words, and have been proven to be false. To continue to double down on misinformation is to argue in bad faith. Also, the fact you didn’t even know the “DLC” is the micro transactions tells me you never even played the game, and are purely regurgitating talking points you heard someone else make. And you are doing so without any fact checking at all. It was also ALL on the store page pre-release, but because you need to go out of your way to even know the useless micro-transactions exist, it got turned into this whole secret conspiracy. And the internet loves manufactured drama, unfortunately.

In the end it’s a loss for anyone buying into the misinformation missing out on a pretty great game that makes this whole thing kind of a bummer. But I guess that is the state of things in 2024, misinformation > the truth.

How many hours do you have in game? Had you played you would know that nothing available is “walled off”. It is actually the opposite, and the stuff is basically useless to buy since you can acquire all of it through a normal play through of the game. No place in the game do you even feel like “oh man, I really need to buy that DLC or else this part is going to be impossible/different/less than/etc.”.

And it’s clear the people getting everyone all riled up about this stuff did not play the game either (or are acting in bad faith).

Honest question since you have clearly played the game for a number of hours. How did the micro-transactions that you needed to go out of your way to even find, and are worthless after having actually played through the game, effect your game play? Was it because nothing in game is affected by them? Or was it that CAPCOM does nothing to push you towards them?

It was the fact that apparently nobody even knew they were their until somebody went out of their way to discover them that has affected my game play so much! How dare they put these useless items available for real dollars that only a fool would buy, and then after doing so only to find out they are useless. It has basically ruined my whole world, I may never game again! The horror! /s

You are the one making a bad faith argument, based on some random stuff you read on the internet. Had you actually played the game you would know that:

1. The mtx is not pushed on anyone, and you need to go out of your way to even find/notice.
2. It’s all stuff you acquire in a normal play-through, making it essentially useless.

But go ahead and continue to white knight for the misinformation spreaders, just know that you have been misinformed/mislead and should do a little research before you get out your pitchfork next time.

I’m defending this game because I have actually played it, unlike what seems the rest of this thread has not. I see nothing but misinformation being spread, and when confronted on all of it, you have all doubled down on remaining ignorant because it fuels your talking point of “CAPCOM bad”, “mtx bad”. Where, had you ACTUALLY played the game you would know you have to go out of your way to even find the mtx, and they are next to worthless. It’s all stuff you get in a normal play through.

Your argument is ill informed. The fast travel stuff is all in the game, nothing is pay-walled. And anyone tell you such is feeding you misinformation. It seems a large number of people haven’t even played the game but are ready to get out the pitchforks over stuff they aren’t even informed about.

I also would love to see people that don’t own the game label their post as such so we could see how many here are just going by hearsay from some random information they have read in the past couple of days. I’m guessing the overwhelming majority never even bought the game and have no become a vessel for misinformation white knighting a talking point that doesn’t even make sense.

It is included in every version of the game. And it is clear you are arguing a point you are not even informed about, joining in the misinformation spreading about a game that is actually pretty fun to play.

Posted this in the other thread also.

In the interest of clearing up this continuing deluge of misinformation, I think cowboy at the end of his stream today said it better than I did earlier today. Plus he is likely to know more than anyone here as he had completed both endings before release with his advanced copy.

How many hours do you have in game? If you have played any you know this is all made up drama and everything is in game, and the mtx that everyone has their pitchforks out for isn’t even forced on you, you need to seek it out to even find it. And then when you do find them it’s not worth the money VS just getting the stuff in game.

And I’m not going to standby while people spread misinformation, and you have found yourself on the wrong side of the facts.

This article from back in October of '23 does not state that at all, and I never read her take the position of “Israel has the right to defend themselves”, but rather the opposite.

Earlier, she called the events of the weekend “devastating for all those seeking a lasting peace and respect for human rights in Israel and Palestine” and said, “I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms.”

But she also called for an “immediate ceasefire and de-escalation".™

I saw it as a way for people that didn’t want to shell out $10 for the next SKU up (Deluxe) to just buy the pieces they wanted. The items this guy was crying about not getting in his free copy should not have been labeled DLC though, as that clearly gives people a false sense of what they are. I have also read of several mods already that can dupe and add things into the game negating the need for a crack, unless you are looking to rid the DRM specifically.

It’s bonus items from the Deluxe addition, nothing is “paywalled off”. It’s the same as any other game with more than one SKU at release. This guy just feels entitled to something and so he cried about it his review, and the internet is standing up for his entitlement, you apparently included. Funny how everyone is upset they didn’t read, and are standing with the guy that got free stuff and apparently didn’t get enough so he is throwing a fit about it. So stop defending entitled assholes, we should be naming and shaming them.

That kit is part of the Deluxe edition, or $2.99 if you want to buy just it without the other bonus items. I think calling it DLC is a stumble by CAPCOM, but this guy has made a whole lot of drama out of his entitlement over not getting items from another SKU with his FREE pre-release copy of the game he finished in advance of release.

EDIT - Words are hard (spelling).

Anyone that reviews a game in advance of release knows they are playing a different game than the release version. The guy in the article even stated they told him exactly what he was getting, but he didn’t READ it. Then afterwards felt entitled to those things in another SKU and so wrote a hit piece that everyone, that also didn’t look at the store page, is now all fired up about.

EDIT s/did/didn’t

This is exactly like any other version of a game that comes out with more than one SKU (bonus items). Only this time the guy that got it for FREE in advance wrote about how he didn’t understand he wasn’t getting bonus items. He then writes a hit piece stating even though he didn’t read, he should be entitled to those items because he didn’t know about them, even though he didn’t read (and his copy was in advance of release and FREE). It’s basically a story of entitlement, and how a reviewer has created a non-story over his.

Can you read? Serious question. There was no “bait and switch” for anyone. Nobody was sold anything and then given something else. And the reviewer in question would have known exactly what they were getting, and what was available, but stated in the article they didn’t READ anything before completing the game. Then they put out a click-bait article and everyone is coming out with pitchforks because some dude that played for FREE didn’t get the version he wanted pre-release. That to me reaks of entitlement, and a pretty “asshole” thing to create a hit piece about a game he enjoyed otherwise but is salty he didn’t get a different version with a couple extras to play well in advance of release.

And for the record, I am not OK with entitled assholes like that.

It’s pretty clear that many people here have not even looked at the Steam store page, and are instead falling for the bait for clicks and drama from a reviewer that didn’t read, and is big sad he only got to complete the standard version pre-launch. This whole thing is manufactured drama over something that was right on the Steam page since day one. You want the stuff the guy cried about in the article, buy the Deluxe addition. Is $10 to much extra, OK, then buy the individual pieces of the deluxe addition extras you want and stop with this fake outrage for a game you most likely didn’t even buy/play anyway.

How can you admit you:

1. haven’t even played the game
2. know nothing about the facts

And then claim

But if you’re trying to downplay this whole shit show then don’t, it is very much deserved.

Why is it deserved? Because “someone else on Lemmy” said so? Someone that didn’t read what they were buying and is going along with a clickbait article by a reviewer that had his feelings hurt because the devs didn’t give him the deluxe edition, and instead he only got the standard well in advance of launch? He could have righted his whole “injustice” with a $3 purchase for his stupid camp kit (for a $70 he didn’t pay for), but instead he wrote a whole piece on how he didn’t read anything before completing the game (he didn’t pay for pre-launch).

The “DLC” was available before release day and is just the stuff from the deluxe version but separated out so you can buy just the stuff you want. It has been all right on the store page (not hidden) for everyone to read this whole time. This made up story is from a reviewer that upon completing the game on their advanced FREE copy noticed the dev didn’t give them the version with the other camping kit and created this whole fake outrage.

It’s all stuff that is available in game. This is a bunch of bandwagon people that don’t even have the game crying over this made up drama for clicks.

Using that site and doing my instance to Lemmyworld , your site is listed under the working ones. I know spam has been on the rise again on big instances, so that could be playing a part in this also.

AOC has been calling for a cease fire and more aid since last year. She might not have used the word genocide until now, but it’s not like she has been cool with things up till now either.

That camp kit comes with the deluxe addition, which they probably are unaware of because they got the game for free. It also comes with one of those edit voucher things as well. I doubt I’ll ever use mine though because they also have an amazing character creator that came out weeks ago that let you meticulously design your character and your pawn. Then when you start the game they are right there as a choice. Something else they probably didn’t know because they had the game so early.

It’s all made up of drama for clicks, and seems to be working.

Why does any game have a deluxe addition? It usually includes more stuff up front. Did nobody read what they were paying for? It’s in plain English right on the store page.

Also seems like a bunch of people who didn’t even buy the game getting all fired up over some manufactured drama from a reviewer who didn’t read what he was getting for FREE. And now he’s all worked up because he didn’t get the deluxe addition for free and needs to pay $2.99 for the dumb camp kit or to buy a portcrystal or rift crystals or whatever.

It’s the stuff that comes with the deluxe edition, only they let you buy each piece individually if you want, which I think is reasonable. This is all manufactured drama by some reviewer that got the game for free and didn’t read anything about it apparently. It’s right there on steam, not hidden in small print in a footnote or something. If people can’t read I think it says more about them than the devs.
