"And starting over from nothing when your ship gets obliterated."

You obviously only tried PVE, probably for like, 10 minutes.

I was trying to put my finger on why OP's post was so annoying but haven't had my coffee today, so you explained/expressed it much more clearly and pretty much nailed it.

"Personally I don't care to play bad guys either, but I would love to see more games that make me feel weak and helpless, even just trying to get by in a world that's so harsh and so far beyond my ability to improve it."

I'm with you on that, I would vote to shitcan all the modern-day stuff. The other guy is just trolling.

Eh, nice sentiment but naïve, all of human civilization, no matter which point of view you look at it from, was/is built on the backs of humans exploited by other, more powerful/rich human beings, from early slavery to feudalism to today. This is just 21rst century version of a dynamic that's been going on since we…

SMART.

Yeah fair enough it'll provide some pain relief, but it doesn't do much to address the source of the pain, which is lack of water/fluids. It also causes your liver to work extra hard to process whatever is in the aspirin (not too scienc-y on that side of things) and that's tricky when you're drunk b/c your liver is…

That is actually a really, really bad "cure" for your hangover.

Afflicted family member.

Well spotted, it sure does ;)

Yup. About halfway through my schizo-radar was screaming, I don't understand how it's difficult to spot here. Not really fun to laugh at, guy needs help more than eye-rolls and being publicly mocked online.

Fair enough, although it's still his company. They even put his face in the game.

It should, as the writing was on the wall pretty much from the moment they announced this game. Recall, this was before Sid Meier took on the remake, I can't remember ONE real X-com fan who was interested in a non-canon, shooter remake of the X-com brand. Honestly I remember the initial backlash was so bad, I was…

yeah it's more or less gone back to what it seemed to be in the earliest days, all things told.

To be fair, "all these comments", at the moment I'm reading this page, are for the vast majority uninformed and incorrect, lots of whining about stuff that's already been fixed, so.... You're basing your opinion on some pretty stupid noise, but whadoiknow, right?

They've fixed the payouts and the cards to be more balanced. Payouts are usually in the $100,000-$300,000 range and a cash card drop can be worth $100,000 easily.

Again, that was fixed within like, 24hrs, along with the payouts.

They already fixed it within 24 hrs of the patch, whiner.

Actually I always found Ben's to be overhyped/overrated in exactly the same way.
