Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Loot by colmscomics

My dude you don't play enough games with looting mechanics if you haven't run into several variations of "this thing has no pockets, how is it carrying a bazooka?"

The last bit is just a deviation used narrativley at times to add in an extra joke layer. It tends to make up for the need to shoehorn it with the comedy of the statement. In this case, that ten random gems enhances someone's sword and alludes to the fact that, in a very narrow view, these mechanics turn players into little loot goblins searching for random crystals inside dead things to improve items.

OP did a mash-up of video games and real life to turn the absurd logic that results into a joke. You're just taking it too literally. And I say that as someone who often does the same.

Star Citizen is an obvious one. It went off the rails about 6 years ago by my count, and I just stopped caring. They keep adding stuff for the sake of adding stuff, not even in service of fun or gameplay, but just to see if they can. I'm so past caring now it's not even funny, but I do hope someone wakes me up when it gets full VR support, like they promised in kickstarter campaign...back in 2012. If this game is out, with VR support, before 2032 I'll be very surprised.
