Fun Math Time

“SEE?!?! THEY COULDN’T GIVE US SOMETHING WE SAW FOR HALF A SECOND, THREE YEARS AGO! THEY’RE LYING TO US!!! THEY SCAMMED US!!! FLOOD HELLO GAMES AGAIN, BURN IT TO THE GROUND, THEN FLOOD IT A THIRD TIME!!! WE’RE RIGHTEOUS IN OUR FURY!!!”

I find it super disturbing that it’s literally just Sesame Street heads placed on to top of SF sprite rips...

The Stephen Colbert interview was how long ago? You assume that the scope/details of a game never, ever, ever change, no matter what? Especially if someone says something publicly? Then it must happen, no matter what? Even if the alternative makes for an experience that, imo, is leagues better?

“No, see, we tell you what your inner-most thoughts are, you don’t dare tell us what your intentions are. That’s not how the world works!”

I love this!

Honestly? I hope it never happens.

Well, really, if you have the patience, wait for all of it to come out and THEN buy the pass if it’s worth it. Or, only the DLC you want. Or! Wait for the inevitable “GotY Edition” with everything included. OR!!! Wait for the inevitable, optimized for Scorpio/Neo, ‘Remaster Edition’

Oh! Another fun fact - you don’t have to wait for the mining beam to cool down all the way before you can get another full burst!

Another fun fact - going indoors, in caves, or anywhere that provides cover from elements will restore your suit’s armor to full. Not shields, but the stat that protects you from heat, cold, etc.

Were they releasing halfhearted, half-baked, shoved out the door garbage on PS3 and 360 too? Wow. I had no idea!

Confession: I wish/wait for the day the games industry tanks again, and maybe I can stop spending so much on these distractions, and more time appreciating what I have, as well as seeing a new, smaller, more inclusive ‘industry’ rise from the ashes of this bloat.

I think so, but I like it from the angle of ‘lone wanderer exploring the cosmos’ and not ‘it better be every bit Minecraft/Terraria/Starbound but bigger and prettier, or else death threats for everyone’

Wait, you mean they shut down those sites, not because they’re a Big Evil Company Who Hates You, but because there were actual negatively-impacting consequences of allowing them to continue?

Yeah, and why is that? I love how 3rd parties release garbage and it’s Nintendo’s fault it doesn’t sell.

if anything, the PS2 showed us this, too.

The underlined statement is “loot boxes have a chance to drop gold so you can get what you want” and...loot boxes have a chance to drop gold. So you can get what you want.

Yeah...and never did Blizzard say you could get gold outside of loot boxes. So gold gives some flexibility to the randomization (and even that is random), but that’s not an admission of sin, nor a promise of ‘get what you want, when you want.’

Except the ‘chance gamble’ was always how it worked. That you can earn what you want, and not a random box, is just something Gamers invented in their heads. Screaming they were ‘lied to’ when they aren’t getting something that was never promised doesn’t make that true.

so...they killed his role...
