  • I, sadly, agree with you. I’ve gotten to the point where if I am reading a thread or forum and the comments turn into nothing but criticism about things that I don’t personally feel deserve the time to read or apply energy to, I close it and never look back. I don’t mind constructive criticism, but I don’t make these things (like TNG or Andromeda) so it’s never practically constructive for me to endure the critique.

    Speaking of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I was really enjoying that game when it came out and then I made the mistake of reading threads on Reddit and they were so fucking negative and hateful that it actually soured the experience for me. My own fault for letting it drag down the thing I was enjoying, but there was just so much vitriol that it got under my skin even though I didn’t really agree with the majority of it. My general rule now is to stay away from the fanbases of anything I truly enjoy and care about. Which obviously sucks. Somewhere along the line it became the norm for internet discourse to become an echo chamber of hate.




  • It definitely does obscure the fact that the PC version includes VR itself. I’ll buy it for Quest and PC myself simply to support the studio and hopefully help make sure they produce games for a few more decades!

    When they first announced the remake they didn’t mention anything about native Quest support, but they did talk about PCVR initially (which was the day I finally invested in VR hardware). I’m honestly surprised they got it running on the Quest, though it does look like they had to reduce detail by quite a lot to get to perform decently on the Quest.
