...items with a hundred useless stats on them, so enchanting is all but useless.

Of course you shouldn’t. The seasons are for us who already bought it, to get us buying their cattle pass.
*You* should wait a few years and see if a major expansion like RoS comes around and makes everything awesome, and THEN buy it if that happens.

It’s a Japanese company. If the boss didn’t spot it, then no one is going to tell him. The boss is always right and must not be challenged.
The idea for the shape probably came from a higher-up that no one was going to contradict, not from an actual designer.

Either a subverted trope, or again: we don’t know the context. We don’t know that she was in control of the bike when it started that slide.

I need you to shut your filthy mouth.

That’s also true, but that’s where concessions - both ways - come in. I know because I’m a “perfect run” person running with two chaos runners ;)
While having my own game means I know how some stuff works/where it is/optimal strategies, it also means I can let myself forego some of it and let them choose chaos most of…

This kind of goes back to the same problem with tabletop, and it has the same solution: Early communication.
Before starting a campaign, you lay out what kind of players people are, and what they want out of the game. If there are incompatibilities that the GM/players are unwilling to work through and make concessions…

No, that cannot be assumed. It’s an extremely pervasive myth that a lot of people believe, that publicly traded companies HAVE to maximize profit by law. It comes up time and time again in these discussions.

Don’t help give companies the shield of “oh well we just legally HAVE to do it!” because it’s a lie.
The C-suites…

Ad copy was straight transcripts all along - who knew??

Far be it for me to say how anyone should play their games or spend their money, but if I can’t get past the grind of a game, then maybe the game isn’t that good/for me? So I generally just stop playing it. Maybe it isn’t all it’s hyped up to be if the grind sucks 1000 bucks worth.

Yeet them into the fucking sun. All of them.

That’s fair enough - I’m coming from a PC perspective. They never should have shipped a game like that to last gen at all, that was the worst idea.
I absolutely believe that call would have come from greedy management looking for more sales, even though everyone working on the game told them it’d be a disaster. And…

Personally I wish they’d spent the time and money on moving straight on to #2 ASAP.
I know that’s an unpopular opinion, but for me the game was largely fine mechanically, and I enjoyed the open world part.
Sure, fix a few bugs and some AI, but the thing I actually hated was the only thing they can’t fix: The feel and…

How does SEGA keep existing?

I never played the original, I sort of heard about it way after it’s release and it seemed like a great basis, but unpolished.

Exactly. Better to divorce them completely from the inspirational material. They’ve taken names and almost nothing else anyway. That’s not a good way to preserve the actual mythologies/cultures.

I’m still playing, too. Very much still in fact; it’s still running in the background while I tabbed out to check the news.

I really want that DLSS update.

“She”?

I am not sold on the style. 2D worked for Fallout because of the entire history and in-wold branding being tied to those cartoon figures - all the way back from the first games.
An Elder Scrolls game trying a cartoony style change just makes it feel dissonant, or at the very least “non-TES” to me. The game would feel…

I don’t know what happened. Maybe GH are dirtbags, maybe Sony pulled a shitty moved. Maybe both.

But I do know that getting the licensing money back for destroyed merch is the responsibility of GH, not the customer.
The relationship of the customer is with GH, and THEY are responsible for honoring refunds. If they’ve…
