The problem was that the game never made clear (but the lore and additionsl materials did) is that The Division doesnt answer to The President, the Senate or any agency; they are basically a in case of total collapse, break glass measure.

The Russians clearly have a different set of rules as far as safety is concerned.

While in an ideal world, simply up and leaving your job to go work for someone else would be great, that ain’t how it works. Sure, the guys and gals working at BioWare don’t have to work for EA, but many of them live in Edmonton, Canada, which does not have a huge game-development scene. So to say that these…

That’s a different conversation. Rockstar by sheer coincidence has the kind of experience that lends itself to being able to allow user generated content (I use the Rockstar Editor on a regular basis, for example). That same approach wouldn’t necessarily help something like a Destiny or The Division. Games more driven…

Not the book I was expecting...

Right. Because who thinks “I need more weapon mods. I KNOW! I’ll go pay for Bright Engrams! Sure, I can just got hit up a public event or two for weapon parts to give to Banshee, but I think I’ll use money instead!”

How exactly does Destiny 2's Bright Engrams affect gameplay?

It’s true that Shepard already had a much more eventful past by the start of ME1 but they still felt like just as blank of a canvas as Ryder onto which you paint your decisions. The ME games, to me, were much more about filling in a bit of a blank slate than say a prototypical JRPG where the main character’s arc is…

I don’t really subscribe to the idea that one has to “defend” their choice in console. I got an Xbox One for a number of reasons, including an established friends list and sure, a bit of brand loyalty. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the constant addition of Backwards Compatibility for games I had on the 360 (and…

Counterpoint. Mass Effect Andromeda is actually pretty damn fun.

The game definitely has its problems but I still can’t square its reception with the game I played. It’s certainly on par with the first Mass Effect (though the ME:A’s opening is much more engaging).

The thing about andromeda was that it wasn’t a bad game in itself but as a follow up to Mass Effect series? Yeah. I’m still bummed there’s no DLCs tho.

YOU WILL DREAM OF TEETH AND NOTHING ELSE!

This was awesome

“EVERYTHING SHOULD BE BUFFED, AND I SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE MY SUPER, AND FUCK BALANCE WHY AREN’T I THE STRONGEST AND CAN ONE SHOT EVERYONE BUT DON’T ONE SHOT ME YOU FUCKING DDOSER!!! FUCK YOU BUNGIE YOU’VE PUT OUT THE WORST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!” collectively screamed the subreddit at D2 for the 1000th time today.

Thanks for letting us know.

I feel the same way. So far my largest gripe I have yet to read online. Only whispers among my friends. That being the fact that you can’t choose your crucible play style. My friends and I all hate clash and somehow always end up playing 3-4 of our 5 milestone games in clash. That is why I don’t play crucible except…

You’re not, it’s just a universal truth that dissatisfaction is louder than satisfaction. Upset folks are more likely to post in forums and leave negative reviews than content folks are to do the opposite. I’m enjoying the game tremendously as well, and see many of these changes as quite welcome improvements on top of…

I’m completely still enjoying it.

Destiny 2 is awesome. Only hardcore players complain about it, because Bungie got rid of “the chase” for uber weapons/armors, i.e., god rolls, and because shotguns and sniper rifles were moved to the power weapon slot. I’m personally of the mind that those weapons don’t belong there in the power weapon slot, but I…
