Yep, that’s why I picked Destroy when I played ME3 - because it was the least evil of three lousy choices.

“Infini-Brain”, eh? Somehow, I’m not feeling it.

Ehhhhhhhh, visual mods in single player games aren’t remotely “cheating”.

. . .First Amendment . . .

Seems to me like it’s probably just a standard, common laying-down-the-bike crash, not an Akira slide. /shrug

Yep. Meanwhile, my older sister just wanted to collect them because she liked them, so I ended up eating a bunch of happy meals to help her. :D

“Save that, it’ll be valuable some day!”

Yeah, I really don’t get the people who’ve already burned through NG+10, just to get all the powers leveled up. Just like I never got the people who said “I have to level up to <whatever> before doing any quests in Oblivion, so that all the unique quest rewards are max power.” Just seems so tedious & pointless.

Those aren’t “upscaled”, they’re changed/generated. They’re new faces. (and they’re almost uniformly terrible. I mean, holy crap, those three samples in the middle of the article are awful.)

I’ve played two characters in D4 so far, one at launch and one in Season 1. I think the highest level one is 74. Just not terribly interesting to keep farming xp - I stopped playing when I maxed out the battlepass (with most of the “free” Ash rewards level locked away).

Eh. Maybe Station to Station & Lamplighter’s League? But not right away, still have Starfield and Cyberpunk to get through.

“I don’t remember either of these events...”

The only time I can think of when game prices went down was on Playstation 1. Game prices dropped to 50 with ps1, more or less uniformly on playstation.

Cartridge games had all sorts of issues that contributed to higher costs, depending on what chips were in each particular cartridge.

Yep. Kind of surprised that the top level of commerce doesn’t have the good old “invest in vendors so they have more money” bit that’s in Fallout & Skyrim.  As it is, I’ve skipped that skill entirely because I already have to buy out lots of ammo just to be able to sell the guns I loot.

Of course, they’re only worth it if you consume a lot of what they provide. I see closer to 3-5 movies a year, so the Movie Club subs are silly. For me. Ditto with Game Pass - I’m not constantly wanting to download new games to try. I tend to play one game for a long time, and also go back to older games to replay…

I certainly don’t remember getting anything like this in the late 70's/early 80's.  Seems completely bizarre to me (esp at 5th grade level).  Also feels like a veiled “are you Left or Right” quiz.

Ah, I misunderstood. Because there have been some of these “just the swag, no game at all” CE’s in the last year, and people have said “omg, it doesn’t have the game!” about them.

Personally, I’ve been seeing “and doesn’t come with a copy of the game” as a good trend.

The kind their opponents have is ‘immoral’, and the kind they have is just fine.
