It’s a 162 game season where most of the teams are out of playoff contention by game 90 and many are out by game 50. People are less willing to stand for that these days. I don’t know if it’s really that much more complicated than that.

Early on the auto-balancing jacked up the difficulty too much when in a group. It seems to have evened off now. It’s much easier in a group generally, since certain weapon mods have the exact same amount of benefit for three players as they do for one (the aggro stealing tree for example, or the hunter vision), and…
Or he’s going to be Johnny Cage but they’re keeping it quiet because they don’t want racists mad about it.
At least part of it with the Art and Arcana book is that a LOT of the early art for D&D was both amateurish and stolen, so they can’t really tell the story of the art (and D&D generally) without facing some of the seat-of-their-pants ugliness of the early days.
FWIW, the giant, glossy, huge, expensive, officially licensed Dungeons and Dragons Art and Arcana book tells a story that’s actually surprisingly similar to the one above (though it doesn’t linger on the grievances)
I remember in Bound by Flame after you finish creating your character, in the literal NEXT SCENE, there’s another character who refers to you as the default character name, not the one you chose.
Both of their matches went to absolute LINE too. Essentially came down to last combo wins both times.
My impression was that he was particularly public about that appearance because he wanted to let Alfred know he was alive.
I always think of playing with Mouse and Keyboard as essentially playing with cheats. Especially for games like CoD that were designed controller-first.
It’s funny, because I’ve only actually seen the “5-star” meta click in at the end game a couple of times. Usually (either win or loss), the game is pretty much over just as people are getting to 10.
FFIX always struck me as a kind of “cover band” version of Final Fantasy. It hit all the right notes, but the end result felt like something that lacked the magic of previous entries (perhaps because Sakaguchi was more focused on FFX and the FF movie). Also, you know, all the sexism.
The Rock spent the early part of his movie career making artistically bold choices (albeit with ultimately not so great projects). He’s been pretty open about how much he feels burnt by that portion of his time as a film star.
You can get around blocking sites. But it might be just as simple as throttling internet connections. IE noone gets more thant 5mbs
There is also the distinction between it being a good and important piece of art (it is!) and one that the viewer likes (it’s really alienating!).
EVA is much more like a book where the entire thing is building to a point at the end, one that isn’t really revealed until the finale and post-finale bookend movies. (Which isn’t to say that they make it “good” so much as the whole thing is more like chapters than “episodes” and they don’t really work in a vacuum.)
The trick with Artifact, way way more than the pricing structure, was that, and I can’t stress this enough, IT WASN’T FUN TO PLAY.
It was also the sort of game that sort of made you feel stupid for not having fun with it, so there were a lot of people who were like “I totally respect this, it’s great” and then never…
The general vibe I get from Destiny right now is that the habitual, every-day players are pretty happy, but the more “casual” (“casual” in quotes there because I’m talking about players who have 100-300 hours logged, generally), are dropping off.
The trick is how to structure the “reset” big expansions in the fall to…
As someone who did fire up Wrecking Zone in the first couple of days after release ... boy howdy was that thing half-baked. It really had the air of one of those “tacked on at the last minute multiplayer modes from an N64 game.”
Just to be clear: This is a bug, not part of some sort of marketing plan (as evidenced by the fact that it happens even after you own the DLC in question).
A lot of noise will be made about the business model. And that model wasn’t especially welcoming. But the real reason the game didn’t have any legs was because it wasn’t very fun to play. It was very clever, it gave the impression of being fun, you could see how someone who was 10 thousand exploding brains at CCGs…
