Yep.

It’s still the basic game play loop. Mine resources to improve equipment, repair items and fuel your ship, multi-tool and suit. If that’s what you had a problem with I wouldn’t bother. Definite improvements but it doesn’t solve some of the core problems of the game.

Counterpoint: The resource collecting feels way more tedious now, and I already found it the most tedious part of the game. There are more resources to collect now and you need different ones to fuel you ship than previously. More resources and more steps means more annoying moments where I’m stuck on a planet I…

No. The game updates automatically. Trust me as a fellow old gamer who played the original release, these updates improve the game greatly. It takes the original idea of the game and begins to actually fufill that idea. 

Welp. If the game was centered around playing with others and it dies out quickly then it wasn’t meant to be. You aren’t missing much if the collection of early adopters couldn’t hang around or give good enough praise for the stragglers to jump onboard. In single player games this doesn’t matter as much. 

lol ‘your kind’.

There’s a much higher value in local multiplayer for Smash and Mario Kart, like the last two consoles, it was easy to pass on using their online features.

First I love the screen name. Darmok references make me happy.
Second I think this just applies to digital games, as it says in the article. 

A) Well, I was hoping that Hale, petulant, sniveling little gremlin that she was, would get hers. And she did. And we still get to keep Tessa Thompson next season, so it’s win-win!

Well the dude is already billionaires... kids who suscribes to Ninja are used to fastfood content, I hope the guy is smart enought to understand that his “career” won’t keep for years.
Mainstream consumer aren’t passionated people, they lose interest pretty fast and they move to the next “big” thing to stay in their…

Just replace Japanese soldier with Nazi soldier and you’ll understand. “He’s totally badass and killed 3000 Allied soldiers and Jews with a sword and now he’s living a sweet second life as a teenager in another world where a bunch of chicks thinks he’s totally hot and cool.”

To be more exact, the body count was 3712..... The Rape of Nanking happened in December 1937. The main protagonist died of old age at 94, never been tried for his crimes... Prince Yasuhiko Asaka was a perpetrator of the Nanking massacre and also died peacefully at 94 years old... I think these references are too…

So the guy who’s clearly into Japanese culture is completely ignorant about their history? Why is it that almost every commenter with an anime avatar is either a racist, a moron, or both?

When i leaned about the atrocities when I was younger, i straight up developed an anti Japanese sentiment for a good half year. It took time to realize straight hate was not healthy in the slightest, not to mention a blanket hatred is just ignorant.

the only way you would kill 3000 people in the Sino-Japanese war with a Katana Is by executing prisoners ... which is what the japanese did to chinese civilians.

“Oh I see, the whole killed 3000 people in a war. It’s a war people die, why does that make people uncomfortable?”

The whole context about that war and how it colors relationship between Japan and China makes this really problematic.

I just can’t get over how people are blind to how the world is working.

TL;DR is something like:

First impressions are in and the hype is over. This pirate ship has sailed. Next franchise!

Microsoft needs to give me something new to be excited about. Sequels to long running Xbox franchises (Gears 6, Halo 7, Forza 8, etc) arent going to do it anymore. There were days when that could be the highlight of a press conference, maybe even the entire event, but I don’t see a Gears or Halo announcement setting…
