Exactly this. I need games to respect my time. And part of that means not forcing me to retread the same path over and over again. If I could fast travel in real life, I would and it would have nothing to do with how dull or interesting it is along the way. Time is precious.

Travel is boring? That’s not true. It’s only an issue because your game is boring

I don't necessarily agree. It *can* indicate that the world is boring, but oftentimes it's just that I'm doing a specific thing and I just want to get that thing done ASAP. Either I want the reward at the end of whatever I'm doing or I'm engrossed in the story being told and don't want to get distracted. 

No matter how many bells and whistles you throw at me, I’m still going to want to get back to certain areas faster than traveling across a vast open landscape will let me.

I play video games daily. Thank god and Satan, I am not a gamer.

Most people don’t want wild colored shit in their living rooms. End of story.

“The Mandalorian and Grogu?” That’s the name?

Can we just come to grips at this point with the fact that “Grogu" is a terrible damn name, even by Star Wars standards?  It rolls off the tongue like something resembling acid reflux.  Like I can't even possibly conceive of what they were thinking with that, especially with a character that they obviously intended to…

Yeah, it’s racist, sexist, transphobic and homophobic, but it’s also just plain awful

“At least be intellectually consistent.”

Nobody’s under the illusion this package is mandatory, so pointing out that you don’t have to buy it is a straw man. The problem is that it exists at all, that CIG are even selling digital items at this price point in the first place.

So to buy the ‘everything’ pack, you first have to buy some of the ‘everything’ to get on the approved list of buyers?

Pretty much any of the ultra hard games. I’m in my 40's, so I grew up with a lot of NES and SNES games that were hard in comparison to modern counterparts, so it’s not that I can’t get through difficult games. The bigger issue for me is that at this point in my life I just don’t have the time to repeat the same boss…

Wait, are you all suggesting that online popularity contests *aren’t* a good means of judging actual merit?

*gasp*

You do realize the fundamental flaw of this mindset, right? And it only becomes more flawed with each passing day.

Christ Zack, what an insufferable baby you are.

$30.

That is the price the expansion should be, no more. Cosmetic packages should be a completely separate thing not tied to the expansion.

People really shouldn't still or have had a problem with this. It's 10 bucks and the price had been 60 for a decade and a half. It was never going to stay flat. 

I found the game kind of meh. It had some interesting aspects that were mostly counterbalanced by boring and/or tedious elements. I get the “mixed” status on steam because that is right where I’d put it. I gave up about 25 hours in cause it just wasn’t holding my attention.

as an aside, I really don’t get this modern “hater” culture that’s grown.
