Jack Garland made me literally spit my drink onto my monitor and have a coughing fit.

Yeah, sure, make him Garland and make him want to fight himself, but you dont name Final Fantasy characters Jack, lol

As I said above, “no matter the level of snark”.

“Creators of ‘so bad, they’re bad’ games”? Heavy Rain, a bad game? It was a huge success back in 2010, as it’s 87 score on metacritic supports. Indigo Prophecy, back in 2005 was another great game, also supported by an 85 score on Metacritic. Yes, Beyond Two Souls and Detroit weren’t appraised as high as the former…

No they shouldn’t. They weren’t treated that way as they came out, and nobody remembers them that way, either.

This is the world we live in unfortunately, but I couldn’t agree more.

Weapons Crafting:

Pick up 10 bounties
Each bounty gives you 1 weapon ore
Turn in 5 weapon ores to get shadow token
Use Shadow Token to run the Shadow Nightfall
Shadow Nightfall has a .01% chance of dropping crafting ingots
Collect 100 crafting ignots to craft 1 weapon piece

Or purchase 50 ingots for $10.99

As true as truth can be. The lack of care, evolution, and ambition GF has furnished upon one of the largest game series in the world has been a decades long embarrassment, second only to the people who keep giving them a pass.

There’s a lot going on here. I’ll have to break it down.

Suffice to say I don’t agree with this particular take. There’s things to get excited about in this game, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t raise an eyebrow at odd choices or call out things in the trailer that don’t look good.

i can’t think of too many games that have made much noticeable positive visual design changes after first showing the game, can you?

If this was any other company, I’d be inclined to agree, but considering that SwSh’s early trailers had some animation issues that were never fixed, I think people are right to be skeptical about Game Freak.

Lol talking about something you clearly have no idea on. Hoarding records is absolutely a scummy thing to do the guy literally acknowledged that it was.

I don’t blame this guy one bit. It’s clear that the ne WR holder was being shady or he wouldn’t have done it that way out of nowhere or feel guilt. I’m not at all impressed by someone who cuts corners to get an advantage.

Original WR holder has my respect for withdrawing from competition.  To some people sportsmanship…

There is absolutely no other competitive event in the world where this would be possible. When new records are achieved, it only seems right that they should be verified and posted as quickly as able, which is exactly the same as they would be for any other kind of competition.

The fact that you don’t think people should focus on retaking lost records and that you do think there should be “a unified champ” shows that you don’t have the first goddamn clue about why the community exists or what the hobby is.

I mean he knew what he was doing was scummy and a lot of people would be angry and betrayed by it. Yet he still did it to chase the Grand Champion title.

seems clear from the article, even from the words of the guy that did it, that usually they upload a record so others can contest it and he held up until he had enough victories that contesting his results with new attempts for the record would be nigh impossible

It’s a bit anti-competitive. The times increasing are what push competitors to clean up their runs and try new strategies. Might have damaged the meta by withholding info - speedrunning tends to be a very open and collaborative community. I understand why people felt kind of betrayed.

No, NFTs are bullshit. The technology that powers them devours electricity and the only “ownership” they offer is contingent on the services that verify said ownership and deliver said content continuing to operate in perpetuity.

No Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem?
