and yet... [sees no consumer incentive to purchase though Epic]

[slowly blinks a few times] ... if you’re not into mobile games, that’s cool, brah. Some of us like to fiddle with things inbetween other things.

I agree with you, in what I assume is your general sentiment, that mobile gaming is a depressing scene still rife with the worst in monetization however... unless you’re a…

That is TOO bad. [sigh] I’ll give it a shot then probably stop as soon as the game pacing chokes on the time-gating. Its what I normally do. Guess Armello is going to be me go to game for a bit.

well... that answers my question about chests and how much I’m going to get to play.

BAH! I’ll wait on some chests to unlock. Time Gating ain’t nothing but a THANG to us Mobile Gaming Pros.

UNLESS... that time gating really botches the flow of the game, or I feel like I can’t play as much as I want without wasting time. God forbid I have to wait on one chest to unlock before I can start unlocking…

Ok, but what if...

That is a low bar, sir

I’m ok with it too. Honestly, looking back, I think Anthem missed the mark a bit more than 76 did.

Well, good to hear! Not only did I jump on this (and I’m not even a big Fallout fan) but I got my mate to jump on it too (Huge Fallout fan) and... man. I mean, honestly, I didn’t feel like it was that bad but the UX was just... embarrassing. It’s like, “Press Z to exit” or something? It felt like I was playing this…

Jah. I find it more sad. When creative people lose touch with what sparked their flame. Hopefully he’ll snap out of it. There’s enough crazy people with McDuck sized vaults dominating the news for me. It’s feeling Feudal around here.

You’re misreading me. It’s not his game anymore, and hasn’t been for a good long while. He’s properly credited. And its fluff text, which is... fluff. As in, not important. So I don’t get why we should care.

I don’t know. It’s fluff text. And... He’s still in the credits. And they gave him 2.5 BILLION dollars for it.

And they’ve owned it for quite a while now...

I’m just not getting much feels on this one.

I literally bought an Xbox One S for 200$ 3 months ago. [mind.blown].

No one wants to feel left behind or forgotten, and if a new tech emerges that essentially says “if you live in an area that produces the food the rest of us eat, then fuck you, get good internet,” it’s not going to play well.

Define “High Speed Internet” please. I’ve seen ATT call that 15Mbs in some areas. Is there a standard at which we can call something “High Speed” or is it like... ATT’s 5G...e network?

You have a storefront that’s gone unchallenged for over a decade. Despite that, it’s still innovated through VR, Steam Link, Stream integration. It’s taken a stab at monetizing mods (i know that went poorly), and providing movie rentals (I would have taken another stab at mod monetization)... I mean, it’s even…

I thought exactly this. “Man... I really just need the story... not all the navigating up and down stairs.” Put it all in a menu and let me just click through the dialogue. We’d have saved hours of time, and played more actual game.

I certainly haven’t played it since Div 2 released. I liked Anthem but... [shrugs]... lots of problems there man. And, my god... trying to get through the story quests... the load times... the running around “town” which, let me tell you, wasn’t fun... Anthem felt like a chore most times. I felt like I spent 10mins in…

Look. I kinda get where this is coming from but this is STILL ASSUMING THE ENTIRE US HAS HIGH SPEED INTERNET WITH AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO IT. It does Not.

So, if Google, MS, Sony, etc... have delusions of cloud gaming... where are the lobbyist facilitating this global access to high speed internet?

When I have guaranteed…

I’m just going to assume that if he’s saying this publicly, at an award ceremony for the industry he’s in, which everyone is watching, you might qualify this as a rally/encouragement. [shrug]

I think the thing about Unions... most people aren’t saying you HAVE to have them in EVERY case, they’re saying that when you DO…
