Overall, this event felt better than Microsoft’s, although it’s not saying much.

What got me over and over was the majority of the games looked like they belong at a Switch event, not the uber-powerful PS5's. Even some of the most interesting games felt this way.

In the end, we have one major launch title, a few 2021…

Nope, different company making a similar product. Womanizer was just the first to market, and their success brought various copies.

Well, I got as far as "crashing" before I gave this read up. I have put in several dozen hours with the game since the expansion without a single crash, nor the combat jerkyness that is talked about. I don't doubt that it's happening, but I have questions about the cause being the game vs the system it's running on.

How is it different than other instanced MMOs? STO never has more than 50 players in one place at a time, nobody ever considered it to be not an MMO.

Yeah, I will assume you don’t actually PLAY the game since nothing you just said is true. You see people all the time in 76, because it’s based around events that you join, or gathering in areas where certain resources are abundant - just like every other MMO. And while it’s buggy still, that last comment is…

How is it any less connected than World of Warcraft or other MMOs? 99% of the time in WoW it’s a bunch of people wandering around not interacting with one another. There are a lot more people on a server at a time, but the times you see more than 3 or 4 of them actually grouped up together outside of raids is rare to…

Your opinion is the minority, because the people in Reddit disagree. But hey, you can believe whatever wrong thing you want. It’s all the rage nowadays.

So, you are like a grammar nazi but for the word “massively”? There are still a massive number of players, just not on each server at the same time.

If you get to define what massively means, then I get to define what MMO stands for, and I choose “Minorly Multiplayer”. Fair enough? :)

It’s not? What exactly is a game where a bunch of people play on the same server talking to NPCs to get quests, going out into a world completing them, and then coming back to get a reward called? Because last time I checked, that’s what every MMO is, all the way back to the original MUDs.

Wait, so what you are saying is that Fallout 76, a MMORPG, is mostly just fetch quests given out by soulless NPCs, just like every other MMORPG?

It’s like people see the graphics and forget what genre of game this is. Criticizing an MMO for being an MMO is just silly. 

I think you may have some rose-colored glasses on the memories of FO3 and 4's characters. After a few hours in, the game to me feels very reminiscent of the older Bethesda games - wander around, shoot random NPCs, click on NPCs to get generic dialog with the occasional one giving you a quest. The only real difference…

We know how to deal with that now (paying to put people to work and giving them skills in the process), but the same idiots who are doing this would rather give the money that would allow that to happen into bailouts that do nothing to help common people.

The Fed are literally giving up to a TRILLION DOLLARS A DAY to…

Your idea is correct, but your logic is reversed. A generalized part is less efficient than a specialized one. So while PC hardware is more powerful, it sits idle most of the time, meaning it’s far less efficient. To make up for this, PCs have tons of little things to try and improve their efficiency such as clock…

The margins on PC parts are really thin, so even wholesale doesn’t save a lot - maybe 3-5%.

“Quickly” is a relative term with computing tech anymore. I spent around $2000 on a new gaming PC last year (well, the GPU was the year before to stagger the cost out some), and it’s only marginally faster than my old one from 5 years earlier. The GPU is twice as fast as the one in the old PC when I bought it, but the…

Star Trek may have started out as a 3, but later-era TNG and Voyager firmly pushed it into a 4, and it’s never really recovered.

It sounds reasonable until you start getting DMCA notices from the neighbor’s torrents and your ISP permanently shuts down your account, or worse, a battering ram through your door when they get caught sharing kiddie porn or get swatted. I don’t care how well I think I know my neighbor, a lot of times people’s own…

FYI, this charger is the older design that doesn’t support PPS, so if you are thinking of getting one for that shiny new Note 10+ or S20 Ultra, it will be limited to the lower 25W speeds.

Heh, I don’t consider it optimistic at all. This is just bigger bullies that are bullying smaller bullies, who are bullying us. In the end, they are all still going to take our lunch money.
