I hate that shit. You need ore to buy crystals, and you convert crystals gems to buy upgrades for your pieces.

A game about using capitalism to bankrupt as many people as possible, enhanced to encourage people into going broke gambling on bells and whistles.

Says a lot about the self-awareness of anyone spending consistently on it.

“It shouldn’t have ever been considered a separate game in the first place, and most of the changes were poorly conceived.”

Making new heroes free is a good change, but locking new heroes behind a paywall should have never been implemented to begin with.

Other posters have mentioned it obliquely, but OW2 is just Overwatch with worse design. It shouldn’t have ever been considered a separate game in the first place, and most of the changes were poorly conceived.

I have been against OW2 from go and this is a very good change for the game. hopefully we see more improvements (return of 6 v 6 and 2cp)

The funny thing is from the bruhaha over the last year and a half depending on who you ask the Competitive portion of the game hasn’t been done that well with all the changes and nerfs.

Yeah, this is very much a case of a vocal minority making an issue seem a lot bigger than it actually is.

I’d love to see stats on how many people actually played TF2's PvE mode.

You’re equating porn and fanfic to PvE content in a PvP game..? That’s a bit of a stretch.

This is all down to useless leadership that rarely ever face consequences for their terrible, awful, no-good decisions.

I never really saw the value of PvE in Overwatch. It’s a PvP game. People play it for PvP. The vast majority of PvP players have no interest in PvE content because to them, the appeal of the game is playing against players.

Like the thing about Fallout specifically is that “pleasing the fans” depends a lot on “which fans”. A whole lot of people like Fallout and their entry to the series was Fallout 3. A smaller, but no less vocal, proportion of Fallout fans *hate* Fallout 3 and have only softened on it because they hate Fallout 4 more.

That being said, he’s not wrong, and fandoms/fans have made the media they consume not just a part of their life, but their whole identity. I would never want to work on an established fandom.

So is making statements like that. Why say anything at all if you’re just trying to annoy people?

Working for your own standards can be, if not, inevitably the healthier choice as fandoms become increasingly toxic over time with a successful IP product that you find yourself involved with the development with. Sometimes, it’s better to get your ideas and visions out there with a sense of satisfaction than trying…

Incredible. I had no idea re: McDonald’s.

THAT’S BRIAN COX?! 

Even Elden Ring have ads with Ming Na Wen and Israel Adesanya.
