I blame the fanbase for spending all of D1 raging about the grind and things taking too long. People could never admit they liked the grind. Now they took it away and people are realizing how necessary it was to have stuff that’s truly difficult and time consuming to get.

Maybe those are considered to be part of the base game nowadays?

...

At worse, what happens is that EA and Blizzard no longer allow anyone from Belgium to play.

I have the feeling that this will never actually happen.

The minor tweaks, upgrades, and modernization in Doctor Who worked because it’s a progression of time. Nine & Ten’s TARDIS looked like the coral reef. Eleven’s was that weird multi-level deal, and then another multi-level dealie in silver. Twelve’s added bookshelves. Because they are a progression.

Okay, I’m only half way through the video, but someone needs to cut those guys to make sure they bleed human blood and not motor oil or antifreeze.

So let me get this straight.... people complained about version A of the thing, so they changed it to version B.

Eeeeeh. Games that lock the “true” ending behind some form of in-game achievement isn’t anything new. Arkham Knight’s certainly not the first.

Does it give you a preview option? Most games with lockboxes will preview the contents somewhere, which would give you a good idea.

Yeah, but “back in the day” you got them by playing the game, not by cracking your pocket book.

You’re also in the preview window. This may just be me being a horribly cynical person, but I wouldn’t put it past a company like WBI to turn the “free stuff” flow way down once the game goes live.

I do! Poor Frank, all he wanted to do is get with Olga.

Bungie just needs to add more worthwhile content in there, and it’ll come in time.

Starring Tori Black?

Then they should have been internally consistent to what 23rd century technology looked like if they wanted to set it in the 23rd century.

There’s the obsessive compulsive that wants an explanation of why the Androids in “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” are more advanced than Data even though they were 50-odd years prior to his creation, and then there’s the fans that just expect internal consistency and stuff set around the same period to look…

If they didn’t want it to look like TOS then why bother setting it in the same time period and forcing all these mental gymnastics? Why not just set it post Voyager and call it a day. Everything that they’ve shown so far would still work, too.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t too upset with the look of what Starfleet fielded (which will be surprising if you’ve read the rest of my comments today).

What Frank said above, but I’ll expound.
