Amusingly, despite having actually tried (and liked) their new fries a few times, I’m still not taking advantage of any this due to the app part. Still, the new fries are definitely much better than the awful old ones.

I know... so I just leave the tab open to latest. Why bother renavigating?

Cheers mate - got mine from the EVGA elite queue. Although there was still a markup from nVidia just before launch.

They’ve been doing that on GPUs for... most of a year now? Other hardware too really, the GPUs are just most notable. They buy the hardware from Amazon, then resell it over Amazon at a markup and since Amazon makes money twice, why would they object?

I’m at once less impressed by the game, and less upset by it if that makes sense? I suppose more directly, I had low expectations going in, and they were met. Admittedly, there are things that frustrate me (turret design, and ability design in general sticks out), and bluntly the game just isn’t that high quality all…

I’d agree if you wanted to call both loot games, D2 clone says something else though. By that standard we’d be talking about Destiny, Shadow Warrior 2, etc as D2 clones as well, but honestly while those games certainly are loot based, and could even arguably be called BL clones reasonably (or maybe HGL clones?), there…

Honestly, systems can be ported cross genre, but still be different genres. As much as I see Gearbox’s point from back when they called the games RPS, I can’t really call something which is based on a different type of gameplay the same genre even if it does have loot and abilities in it.

Out of all of those, none except BL3 and TL3 are recent, TL3 was a stumbling move from another game, and the Borderlands games are a different genre entirely (though since I love loot games, I am fond of them - albeit BL3 was a disappointment). Honestly, even counting everything I’m familiar with here I definitely…

I didn’t buy the remake, but I go back once every few years to play the original, and honestly have no idea what you’re on about as far as the genre going... anywhere. There just aren’t that many D2 clones, and most of them are not very good comparatively. The ones that are not only come out rarely, but generally…

Much like many other issues (such as pollution), the consumer may get blamed a lot for ‘participating’, but at the end of the day they’re neither the one doing this, nor the one able to fix it. Frankly the biggest thing the public can do is bring attention to an issue, because the way issues on this scale get…

Mental illness is generally called such for a reason - I suppose I can’t claim out and out there’s nothing in the DSM that does what this claims, but I can tell you bluntly that neither depression nor anxiety help your ‘richness’ of life, quite the opposite. They’re horribly destructive to ‘richness’, quality, and…

I’ve got to admit, Pathfinder never really struck me as that crunchy, but given I moved to it as 3.5/PF, that may be because of the nature of how I used it (at that point it was just adding another handful of books to all the others).

You’re more generous than I am - I’m not sure I would credit any reasons, or reasonable ones at least for the move away from forums in this sense. You got it right when you pointed out how utterly different the two things are.

This is an understatement, last I read on piracy it actually increases sales. Yes though, it’s an astounding comment on the corrupt and disconnected nature of the people that make these decisions that Denuvo is still in business and being used.

Honestly, I agree to an extent, but perhaps more the point - who are the credits for? The people who worked on the game. So it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to not include people, when they’re the reason that section exists in the first place.

I was a late joiner, picked it up in 2010, funny in a way since I played a good deal of 1.6 back around the turn of the millennia.

Fair write up. This is basically what pisses me off here - from a consumer perspective, this whole thing turned out to be mostly pointless. We’re in an era where we’re facing new issues with monopoly adjacent practices (ranging not just this kind of situation, but issues with companies such as Facebook and Amazon as…

E3 was a disappointment partially because of Sony’s no show. I’ll say the same thing I said then, I don’t spend my whole year monitoring whether or not trailers have dropped, and bluntly ‘success’ or not I doubt Sony got as many eyes on from this as they would’ve from releasing it during E3.

I’d still say play it if you like the genre, but it’s still pretty easily the worst of the mainline games to date. The writing is so bad it honestly almost defies belief. That said, while it doesn’t exactly shine anywhere, it’s still better than say Outriders so if you like the genre anyways...

They’ve already covered it, but that Tea Party quest? Comedy gold. Tina is brilliant, even by the already high writing standards of BL2's comedy.
