It is, however, a multiplayer game. So the gear they get in the co-op mission makes them all but unbeatable in the DZ. The game is so terribly unbalanced that a ~15-20 gear score difference means that a player can take on a party of 2-3 without much trouble.

The problem with crunch in games is that it’s become the rule, not the exception. I crunched for over a year in my first industry job and it was pretty brutal, my wife stayed with me for some reason, but thankfully I didn’t have kids yet.

Well played.

Sadly this is nothing new, and nothing that’s going to change anytime soon. Due to the anonymity of XBL, there are people who feel they can get away with this kind of toxic behavior, and in a lot of cases they do.

Oh man, I didn’t even think about that. If they wasted time on his origin story in Civil War, I’d be pissed. Unless Tony picked it apart and made fun of it, injecting some humor into the origin may make it new and fresh again.

The same complaint and entreaty can be made for Spidey in the Marvel universe. Every kid these days knows how Spidey got his powers and lost his uncle. Nearly every parent and grandparent grew up with Spidey and can tell you every movie and show they’ve seen with HIS origin.

Incoming reminiscience post(You’ve been warned):

Darkzone Tip #497:

I applaud you, good sir, for your seemingly unintentionally hysterical homonym(? almost) mistake: “Make sure you clean the shit out of your pot and bowel...”. I, for one, usually succeed in cleaning the shit out of my bowel, but for those who don’t, this is still a noble goal.

Definitely don’t buy gear early on. You’ll get drops frequently enough to get you out of single digit levels. I ended up heading into the DZ around level 10 and started getting some great upgrades. Granted there’s a chance the NPCs will kill you if you’re solo, and other players can be asshats.

The trainer whispered to him that it was a teammate that accidentally brushed him as he skated past, but since PK reacted as PK does, he had to save face and act like he was actually injured.

First off the steering wheel transformation reminds me of Voltron, which makes me happy.

If the scoring explosion resolved into the bat signal in game, like it does in the trailer, that would be AMAZING.

It seemed like almost anything that required a digital key to access content was having issues. I went playinh a disc title to trying to access any of my digitally downloaded titles/apps and started receiving errors. You’re right in saying, however, that not everyone was affected equally.

I think this is the takeaway for me. The rule is there for the safety of the QB, maybe it’s a “veteran move” to play to the whistle, but the refs should be on the lookout for this going forward. I don’t think any player on the field sees a QB go down and thinks, “Well, I should keep playing just in case.”

I can understand why they direct their animosity at you, however, they allow the source of the problem to remain: the people associated with the company giving this information out.

John Wick had some of the best shootout/fight scene combos I’ve seen in a long time. Say what you will about Keanu and the movie itself, but it was really enjoyable.

Two things:

This happened with Advanced Warfare on 360 & One as well, to a pretty similar degree. Last holiday season my Xbox One crapped the bed and I had to use the free digital copy I had for 360 if I wanted to continue playing.

I agree, I bought it on the One and I lost interest very quickly. They tried to do the whole first-person puzzle solver with a quirky dialogue, and didn’t make it interesting enough. Felt like Mist meets Portal without the fun mechanics or funny dialogue. Almost every joke felt like it was built off the whale scene in…
