I think they were gathering a lot of back-end data. It’s entirely possible you were a test case for user acceptance at a given framerate at your bandwidth. They needed a large data set to tune their image processing and video streaming algorithms.

Yes, I think that’s a good route.  Your old save will be mostly fine, I think, but maybe just confusing since they removed a lot of the old materials and recipes for components.  You’ve got a leg up with your freighter and probably a ton of cash, so that’s good.  Also, you can make a base INSIDE your freighter now,…

I’m continually astounded at the quality of this game as they add features. To be honest, I’ve had the game since release and I’ve loved it since then, but all the new features are great. The vehicles are so much fun to drive around a planet. Bases are fun to build (but g***amnit we need MORE and easier storage…

I played a lot from launch until now, picking it up and playing along. The “new player” experience is better now. If you’re an older player, though, you may get frustrated with the new quests to get the old familiar things you could get quicker in the past, so it’s really up to you if you want to retain those “end…

From an attack perspective, it makes sense to use your Javelin for strafing runs. I know I sure as hell would! Standing mostly stationary to attack, thereby leaving me as a target, is kinda stupid.
As a team tactic, it would be cool to have a Colossus strafe shield bash enemies to build aggro while the team picks them…

Yeah the dance thing really dragged me out of it, but I kept watching.  Then the last scene in the cafeteria was just bizarre and totally killed my enjoyment.

I said this on an earlier article about this service and I stand by it:
Google would have to do this at a price point that is nearly free to make it worth it for most people.

On the announcement article on Kotaku I mentioned that it felt like they were hiding it because they thought it would fail. I am fully admitting that I was wrong.

I don’t like PvP and I haven’t played this game AT ALL. Just putting that up front. However, I have several successful partnered streamer friends who dropped…

I cried in the theater. It was a silent, shuddering, deep cry.  Such an amazing moment!

So glad I’m not the only one who has a stupid Simpsons reference for everything.

Just a quick update on this:  I finally played this weekend and the campaign is pretty damn good.  The mission in the factory with all those moving slabs rotating is amazing

I realized just after writing that response that I actually did complete all of D2 Scholar of the First Sin.  D3 I did most of, but I got stuck on “flying lightning bolt god dude(?)“ and just gave up haha.  #ragequit #igotbettershittodothandie

Oh, yeah I get that. I wasn’t calling it a “5 Dollar Game” , but I can see how it would feel that way. What I was getting at in my original post was that 5 dollars, and more realistically 10 dollars, is where I consider it worth starting up and then never finishing because something else took my time or I just didn’t…

I guess it really depends on game styles, too. I’m not super into FPS games in general, but if they’re really well crafted (Borderlands, Destiny 1&2, Warframe, etc) I will play them for many many hours. Everyone seems to be freaking out that I placed a monetary value to when I would consider playing the game, but it’s…

Hmmm... maybe I’ll check it out then.  The only reason I only want to pay 5 bucks is because I know it’s mainly a PvP game after the story is done. I despise PvP, personally, so it would only be a 20 hour game, at the most, for me.

Yes, I have heard this.  If it’s on Xbox Game Pass I’ll look at it, but I not really interested in buying it unless it’s like 5 bucks.

To be honest, I don’t have much skin in the game regarding Titalfall, since I never played either one... but I can say this seems really bad.  It sounds like he’s admitting that they’re expecting it to flop, EA forced them to monetize it, and they’re just trying to lean into the “this is what we wanted to make”…

JESUS.  You just made me get all hot ‘n’ steamy with the idea of Destiny gunplay + Monster Hunter weapon crafting.  I would play the shit out of that game.  Warframe is close... but still maybe a bit too random.

Wheezy mentions this further down, but I agree with him: progression in Destiny endgame is this cliff that drops off abruptly and is intended to keep players in the endgame to grind toward the “correct” levels of their endgame multiplayer content. It’s not really my thing, anymore. I feel like I spend every week…
