Is the PC Gamepass not modable?  Genuine question as I have no idea.

I'm basically a career criminal. *shrug*

He just wants to post stupid memes all the time.  He's a dumbass.

I gave up in the middle somewhere. I found that the magic from BotW was gone and all the weapon breaking and constant building was tedious. That and most side quests feel like padding as you don’t usually get much value from them. Just a pile of broken weapons and a pittance of rupees.

That’s all most people wanted. A Black Flag spin off that was all pirates and no assassins. Game development isn’t easy by any means, but what people wanted was obvious as hell. The starting point was right there. Instead they went the live service route and have paid dearly for it.

This reminds me that I had already forgotten all about Skull & Bones again.  

But, again, they could have done this differently. For example, charging a reasonable fee and requiring ads to be served.

It’s more accurate to say that they are trying to charge an exorbitant fee for API access that makes said access untenable for 3rd parties. And they are doing this before going public. It’s a pretty blatant attempt to drive out all 3rd parties.

“Many Final Fantasy fans will see the direction Square Enix has taken with FFXVI as a chance to push the franchise mainstream, and honestly, why shouldn’t they? Action games are more popular. From a business perspective, it makes sense for the company to try to broaden the appeal of its flagship series. “

Most players aren’t even high enough to have these drop. I have no doubt these a very rare, but I suspect we’ll see a fair number before too long.

I pick up resources constantly in addition to getting them from caches and, yeah, I’m running low. Sure, I can always craft something and have a pile of elixers which would fine if I only cared about the XP boost... but that is secondary. In practice there are only a few I prefer to use so I tend to run low on…

Depends on what you consider to be proper crafting. D4 has you craft sigils, elixers, and incense. All of which can be extremely useful in higher tier nightmare dungeons. But it’s largely unimportant before that point. I actually do find myself running out of resources now.

It’s a huge climb in D2R as well and there was no BP.  

Seriously. And what does it matter if I vaguely “own” some game asset via a blockchain vs it just being tied to my game account? I guess the ability to maybe re-sell it? Though that already happens in many games where trading is possible with no blockchain in sight.

As the others have said they absolutely will. This will be like the Bethesda acquisition where games that are already released will remain multi platform and they will honor any existing contracts for games that are soon to be released. But after that everything else will be headed solely to XBox/PC and feature on…

The only thing I’m certain on is that Baldwin’s overly vigorous defense of himself is not doing him any favours in the court of public opinion, and looks downright tasteless. Most people already do not blame him for the shooting, he needs to recognise that and shut the fuck up until the investigation is done.

As far as ads go they don’t bother me.  Not sure I’d want this kind of interaction in a game though.

Video games, are you listening?! You can release AAA titles outside of the fall and winter, we’ll still buy them, I promise! Look at Animal Crossing!

Is it not even worth trying for the heat? I like the spicy CFA sandwich, but like most fast food the heat factor is tame. 

Wendy’s? Come on. It’s OK sometimes, but most of the time you get a thin, over cooked chicken breast. I like their seasoning, but the quality of the chicken is lacking. CFA is basically the inverse. Sometimes you get scrawny breast, but most of the time it will be plump and juicy. Popeye’s is good, but I don’t…
