To a degree I agree and think this is public morals at work, but honestly this isn’t going to have made it not said. I think it gets lost in these situations, but between the problems with people being dishonest and problems with the damage of what they might say, whether they can say something isn’t the only issue -…

Honestly, I’m not even sure what they’d do for Overwatch 2 anyways. To be fair though, I haven’t played the game in years, and that doesn’t really disappoint me given how they’ve been behaving. From supporting China’s abuse of Taiwan, to hiring torture apologists, from sexual abuse, to layoffs for devs as the moneymen…

I would have to work out the years to figure out my age, even though I forget it regularly I still don’t know what it is right now. Contrastingly, my nephew wanted to play Aladdin on the SNES a few weeks back and asked me to help. After he got frustrated I accidentally beat it in one try. I have not played that game…

Honestly, I feel like it went way downhill when they switched from leaving balance alone outside monthly changes to one hero at a time (so you knew what was going on, and changes were significant) to just randomly screwing with the game. That was also around when their attacks against speed runners started getting…

Credit for the Marvel Heroes shoutout, which was frankly the best Marvel game to date, and I can’t even come up with close competition honestly.

You’ve got a point. I do like the aesthetics of the new game, but I agree with your general take here, particularly given I outright dislike GTA games. I’m also leery of describing the characters as relatable, as frankly life is fucking depressing. That said, there are other sources of such games (Insomniac and Sunset…

Yeah, greasy and limp. I got some of the new ones for a try after that post, they’re a lot better - crisp without being empty, definite improvement.

Honestly, given how bad their fries have been since their last change up, it almost has to be an improvement.

ding, ding, ding. This is PR, it doesn’t stop or even address the problems.

My estimate remains 2022, which lines up with nVidia’s last statement from recollection, although Intel does think they might last that long. Generally speaking consensus has appeared to be 2022 though.

Totally fair, but yeah that second one is my main takeaway in this. I can’t tell what we’re going to be getting from this trailer. I did like the aesthetics if this is indicative of the actual game?

No idea what to say here, I can understand the feeling like they couldn’t up the absurdity easily from the past one - though I’d have been interested in seeing them try. Still, as far as this game I really don’t know where it’ll land on a scale from serious to whimsical, but I’ll probably at least pick it up on sale.

This is a good comparison - the ammo thing being a case of a solution in search of a problem does annoy me slightly, but the inventory one? I’m driven around the bend by how everyone uses limited inventory. Games should not limit your inventory without reason, particularly loot based games. It drives me especially…

What disgusts me is this is still an issue. The hangups around sex of all things are ridiculous. Oh, it’s partially the legal issues surrounding such things, given repeated government attacks, but a lot of it is just the incredibly unhealthy American attitude.

Well, that sounds not at all simple. And the premise sounds outright depressing, particularly on a metaphysical scale. Still interested though. Think we should probably be killing whoever is responsible for creating such a situation though rather than (or maybe in addition to) the demons.

Thank you. I’m part of the target demographic for BDO as a long term MMO player, and I dropped it before I could get burned. The entire game seems to be made to wring money from you, it’s full of things that are only there to inconvenience you unless you pay. It’s like they looked at P2W and went “how can we force…

Frances Townsend is still there, pardon me if I still don’t believe they’re taking this seriously.

You can absolutely reform your way out of political culture, I mean the demise of the fairness doctrine and the rise of Fox news are part of what got us here in the first place (along with Gingrich changing things like congressional scheduling).

Oh yes, like I said it’s just the most noticeable chunk. Ballot access, funding, redistricting, etc all need addressed. It’s just that we’re not killing the two party system under FPtP.

Yes well, major reform is needed to break the two party system - ranked choice is just the most noticeable chunk of that.
