I found this one oddly compelling - hard to watch but I couldn’t stop watching. It did seem to switch gears around midway through at which point the plot started to drag a bit, but there were enough wrinkles in the plot to hold my interest - the fact that they avoided making the religious faction malevolently sinister…

Greed

Curious the water was tainted even while they were still digging the well.

On ounce of prevention in 2016 would’ve been better than a pound of cure in 2020.

It’s been over a week and thanks to MS’ screwup of a launch, this video is the ONLY thing I’ve been able to do related to PSO2. Eight year old game and they still can’t get something this simple right.

I always get flak from my associates by stating the obvious about the Great Lie that America was founded on: that all men are created equal. It was penned in the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, noted slave owner, so how true could those words ever ring?

Activision is in the business of shutting down studios - Kotick doesn’t care about games, he merely sees them as a means to his own private fortune. Activision bleeds companies dry and when they stop bringing in the cash they lay employees off, shutter the studio and write it off as a loss on their taxes - they’re…

Case in point: I’m a huge Ghostbusters nerd and when the remaster became an Epic exclusive, even THAT I decided I didn’t need. If GB isn’t enough to get me there, nothing is.

That’s where I’m at - I left consoles because of platform exclusivity. I don’t begrudge anyone if they want to use the EGS, but these games just aren’t important enough to me to set up a second launcher. I’ve already got a Steam backlog of over a dozen games, so whether these games are free or not doesn’t really make…

To be fair, this is the same sort of thing that happened with FPS back in the 2000s. It seemed that every new shooter that came out was adding one or two wrinkles to whatever the FotM was, so it’s not too surprising that the same sort of approach still holds today.

OW does still require a purchase, though MTX is essentially irrelevant imo since it’s all cosmetic and can be earned with in-game currency. That being said I think we’re looking at two different audiences for OW and Valorant, although I imagine there may be a small overlap in this particular Venn diagram.

Ah yeah, so it’s the next step in the CS line. That makes sense in that context - I might try this when it’s available assuming the corrosive fanbase that’ll invariably follow over from LoL doesn’t make it intolerable. 

Honestly, Overwatch is the same way - you can’t trust anyone to do their jobs in casual PUGs.

Ok, a tactical focus isn’t gonna do it for me I don’t think. I’m a little more arcade/fast action and it doesn’t sound like this is targeted my direction. OTOH I thought Paladins had too many customization options, for what that’s worth - I like predictability in character abilities/limitations and Paladins…

Serious question to anyone who plays this: what genre hole is this game targeted to fill? It seems sort of like a slightly upgraded sci-fi Counterstrike, but moves a whole lot slower than Paladins/Overwatch. Is this a legitimate evolution of the genre or just a hat in the ring? As someone who hasn’t had a shot at…

So Fortnite turned into Second Life circa 2009?

Their Horde theme is they’re right bastards and they DGAF who knows it

Alliance has Dark Irons which are Horde, but on Alliance so the balance is restored

If we get the same surge we had in Fall 1918, we’ll be on target for some 250,000 dead Americans by January 2021. Let’s see how well this post ages.
