Gee imagine if they had spoke to any of their customers BEFORE making a giant, sweeping change. I don’t know why that’s such a hard concept for so many companies to grasp.

I am SO incredibly glad this doesn’t have a damn “morality slider” like Mass Effect and other games have. Instead of gamifying morality, it’s letting you make decisions without knowing the eventual end of them - which is exactly how DnD is. You could meet a stranger in session 4 and have an interaction that you don’t…

I hate the power that the toxic, vocal Destiny minority seems to have. The state of the game was fine (which was mostly the opinion of popular streamers like Datto), and at worst just kinda “meh.” It doesn’t deserve even a fraction of the hate that’s been spewed at it by the usual self-important, armchair developers…

I appreciate the clear break down of this, as there are so many fear mongers that for decades have acted like Aspartame will kill you. I know at least half a dozen people’s who’s health, energy, and weight changed dramatically after switching from sugar soda to diet - myself being one of them. So even though WHO might…

You nailed it. To summarize in one sentence: there is always something new and/or interesting to do. Even during the “dry periods” between seasons, there are certainly things I could keep playing for, like titles, crafted weapons, etc.

It works because it’s exciting to log in every week on Tuesday (“reset day”) when new story content drops during a season. It’s a weekly dopamine drip that consists of character conversations, cutscenes, new missions, and more every damn week (with the exception of a few weeks between seasons). On top of the that,…

I can’t believe I’m seeing the correct take at the top of the comments section here. Thanks for this!

Definitely a niche group, but absolutely. I feel like 100% of drone pilots play video games as a hobby heh.

This is certainly less nepharious than the US army using military shooters to recruit. If you’re someone who genuinely enjoys a truck driving simulator for fun, why not get paid to do the “same thing” IRL? I feel like driving simulator skills translate to the real word a lot better than FPS skills.

Oh man it’s never to late to experience co-op Halo. IMO the Halo franchise has some of the best co-op campaign gameplay of any game, shooter or otherwise. The only exception would be ODST, which is best played solo due to how lonely and moody the experience is supposed to feel. But hell it’s still fun in co-op!

Huh. After reading this I’ve come to realize that I’ve never thought of Halo as being a singleplayer game. My brother and I saved up for an Xbox to play the first one together, as a co-op FPS story campaign was pretty mind-blowing back then. Since then, I’ve only ever played Halo games via co-op with friends/family. I…

My jaw was on the floor during that scene. I’ll be honest, I went in thinking there was no way the 4th movie in a franchise could somehow be the best one, but damn if they haven’t just upped the stakes, the stunts, the fights, and cinematography in every single consecutive film through this one. John Wick 4 is a…

I finished the main campaign yesterday, and still have no idea wtf the “Veil” is or why I should care about it. I was so lost during the campaign’s story that everything that happened had virtually zero impact whatsoever - and I’m someone who religiously watches Byf lore videos. I feel like I’m a primary target for…

Imagine being subjected to Chai’s worst lines as part of a character reveal trailer on YouTube, instead of warming to his Fry-From-Futurama-esque charms over the course of the game’s opening hours.

This. I work in an organization within a large corporation that has around 100-125 people in it. I don’t think I could name a single one that isn’t extremely talented, motivated, and hard-working. As you said, this is also a company that focuses on good pay, benefits, etc. So yeah, people want to work here, and want…

I just tried to disable the text authentication setting and got an error. Lovely. I’m glad I never enabled the location “features” at least.

There have been some really dumb grayed comments that I’ve ignored, but I couldn’t leave this one. The dude wasn’t arrested for having a different opinion, he was arrested for breaking the rules and sneaking onto stage at an event. The same could be done for anyone who does the same shit at a concert, a comedy show,…

Yeah I just learned that myself, and of course I can’t edit my original comment because Kinja is shit. Anyways, fuck that kid, I’m glad he got his racist ass arrested. What he said was so dumb that I didn’t even remotely interpret it as attempting to be racist/antisemitic. SMH

Just found out the kid is a far-right racist asshole who’s part of an online hate group. I no longer feel bad he got arrested. Fuck him.

That kid was one of the highlights of the (admittedly much-improved) show! He just did a shit-ton of free marketing for Geoff, and it’s kinda ridiculous they called the police on him. If his word salad was somehow antisemitic then I feel less bad about the arrest, but it still feels like overkill?
