And that ladies and gentlemen is EXACTLY why I play Bangalore, nothing else really matters in a BR, kills and wins are why I play.

There are two types of Lifelines: the ones still learning the game who are the nicest people ever, and the battle-hardened 2k-kill monsters who horde all the best loot, hardly ping, and save their healing drone exclusively for when they need it.

The load times are much, much better if it’s installed on an SSD. Even then they’re still too long though.

Worth noting: I had the same issues when installing the game initially on my HDD (very similar setup to yours, SSD for the “OS” drive, 7200 SATA HDD for mass storage).

Schreier to EA execs...

This article just reminded me they rebooted Dragon Age 4 to implement more “live” features into the game... that scares me a little bit.

that last sentence

Because their games would be pulled from the platform and unable to be certified. These platforms aren’t open.

Bored at work*

In your journey you break out of the dense forest only to be stopped by a deep canyon. Your party sets down and makes camp on your side of the cliff.

exclusives are bad.

“I don’t want to objectively think about an issue, so every argument I make must include an easily dispatched strawman.”

“I don’t want a monopoly, but every single major game release for the PC must be available on Steam.”

So you mean a dev made a mistake, but Gamers will find a way to use this as further evidence to why Epic sucks and a monopolistic Steam store is really actually just a good thing for everyone, guys.

Smaller-scale... meaning mobile, I’m going to call it right now.

This is indeed the case--see the update to this article.

I’m still digging into this, but the buzz I’m hearing right now is that they may have canceled it to focus on a smaller-scale Star Wars project, one that can hypothetically come out much sooner.

Wow, Disney’s deal with EA sure seems to be paying out nicely for them.
