Expectations were the fall of Redfall, It’s not an aggressively bad game it’s just painfully average and undercooked. However everyone was expecting a AAA game experience and that is not what we got, if this launches with less fanfare, lower expectations and at a lower price the reception might be less vitriolic. For…

It was highly doubtful that the CMA was just going to blanket approve this, they have been on Sony’s side since day one and all Sony really cares about is CoD on gamepass, they don’t want that because they are worried that $0 cost of entry means people will play on Xbox/PC and spend more money there. It’s always been…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the high quality makeup work on the nipples. He clearly had those on before the show started. There is no way they got put on in a couple minutes.

I still feel like all Sony wants in the 10 year promise from Microsoft is for them to include it won’t be on game pass. I think that if they couldn’t kill the deal they wanted to pressure Microsoft into making that concession. Feels like now Microsoft has the leverage to get Sony to agree to the deal as is, or at…

Gone are the days of people going to see a superhero movie just because it’s a superhero movie. It’s either got to be a character they love or a franchise they know is good. Shazam is neither of those things. We’re in a post endgame world and audience expectations are through the roof, audiences aren’t stupid they…

It’s funny. I think thats why this series has appealed to me so much. There is something pleasurable about travelling around a lively urban environment, playing darts, or bowling or visiting an arcade, grabbing food at various vendors and not having to pay for it with real money. In the capitalist hellscape were…

It’s a thorny ethical thing. Thrifting/refurbishing/upcycling has been a thing forever. It’s done with furniture, toys, cars, pretty much everything in capitalism really. Someone is done with it but it still has a use so someone else puts work into it so they can use it. Some of those people turn that into a way to…

Most of these exclusive dlc deals are pretty basic, it’s either cut content someone pays to finish and make exclusive or they just pay for something to be exclusive and that’s it, that one thing in the game is owned by whoever paid for it and Sony would have to say yes everyone can have it and they are totally not…

The leader is a problem because he should be a mid game counter to buffs card not an final turn hammer. There is no viable strategy against him since you have to know he’s in the deck to make one, you can’t as a player go into every game assuming a player has him and play no cards on turn 6. I’ve only found one viable…

Oh I haven’t spent money either, a gentle grind doesn’t bother me, but I can see where the grind could make people want to spend. Yeah I hope there are more collector token drops soon.

I know some of it is a me problem since there are cards I’m not using and getting boosters for, and saving credits to upgrade the ones I have a ton of boosters for. I’m just seeing a bit of a plateau right now.

A lot of this stuff seems like good ideas, I’m with you on guilds though, that’s totally not needed. The only gripes I really have at this point are collector tokens are way to rare to come across, it took me forever to save up a thousand of them. The pricing of everything seems about 25% more expensive than it should…

She’s The Enchantress. The first one was an Asgardian named Amora, second one was Sylvie Lushton, given powers by Loki to aid in his schemes and she modeled herself after the first. Sounds like they are going on a take on the second version. She is definitely more than just Loki but a woman so I’m curious to see where…

Oh John I feel seen now with the brightness, I have to adjust it almost every time because the default brightness seems to be single tealight in an auditorium. For me aside from that it’s almost always subtitles, it does make it easier to follow the dialogue and skip the VO if I’m not feeling it because I can read…

I agree Luke, I hit the wall at about the same point you did. I still obsessively cleared every region, but it was way less fun for the last few regions, what was novel and interesting became boring and slog. I openly kept doing them because it was quick, by that point I was so upgraded and OP that Iwas slaughtering…

The Mr. Hands bug had basically halted my progress since Last Weekend so I’d been running around doing NCPD missions and buying cars with money from selling guns i collected and crafted. As soon as i booted up my save after the patch Mr Hands call me and progression resumes. Noticing load times are faster, must be…

I’m a little dissapointed with the body types, that seems to be a new thing that is digging in my craw with games lately, the fact that ever character model basically looks the same from the neck down. It really took me out of it in Watch Dogs Legion. Guess Saints Row 3/4 still get the nod for best character creator…

Well put, a very apt comparison. This does feel like it could have been a very interesting and fun game, but somewhere along the way ambition outpaced execution. The main story missions are different and fun (except the drone piloting ones, just frustrating) but everything else in the game feels old. It’s all…

The game had to be a glitchy buggy mess leading up to the September release so they had to push it till November and push it going gold as long as they could. The version that went on the disc also still has to be a buggy glitchy mess if 2 months of testing couldn’t nail enough down to release it in 3 weeks, so they…

Pretty good showing, seems like everyone is happy. The showcase consoles are pretty equal. Seems like Sony is mirroring the message of Microsoft, if you want to buy the console now we will have games to play, but if you want to wait thats ok, the big games you want to play this fall are on the PS4 too. Very consumer…
