Do you have to believe anything?  Just wait and see what they do.

I think the point though is that what the players wanted was more of Black Flag, but with more pirate shenanigans and less AC. And, sure, tack on some PvP. Ubisoft’s vision for the game has been off the mark from the start.

Yes, but I’m cautious given Valve’s history with hardware. So I’ve got $5 down to hold a place in line for Q2 2022.  I figure by that time we’ll have plenty of reviews and months of real world use to help make the final decision.  If things aren’t going well I’ll just take my $5 refund and move on.  If things look…

You think they are going to go away from the mobile platform?  

That is what I’ve done. My pre-order says Q2 2022 and I’m fine with that. I didn’t try to get an earlier pre-order. My plan is to see how well the product is reviewed and how the first few months go of real world use. If things are rosy I may well buy the Steam Deck when my turn rolls around.  If not then I’ll…

I really enjoyed Legion too, but with a caveat.  It was also the first Watch Dogs games I played.  So I didn’t have any set expectations.  

Yeah, the Switch killer moniker is nonsense. No one can kill a Nintendo product except Nintendo. Unless they completely screw up the marketing (e.g. Wii U) their hardware will sell because of their 1st party games.  It doesn’t matter how good the Steam Deck is.  The Switch will be fine because it still has Nintendo…

Prey (2006) is another one. It had a lot of gravity and spiritual realm gimmicks. Personally, I really enjoyed the game and was sorely disappointed when I found out that 2017’s Prey had no relation to the 2006 game.  I know a lot of people liked the 2017 game, but I could never get into it because I kept wanting it…

The magnusson-moss warranty act is largely ignored because people don’t want to take big companies to court over little things, but it does exist and is in effect.

Same.  Though the button arrangement has me skeptical.

If we’re looking to reviewers for instructions on how to spend our money I think we’ve got bigger problems to deal with. However they felt with whatever experience they had is how they felt with their experience.

I’ve noticed that too.  When you start out a game the first achievements are often high percentages, but they steadily drop off the deeper you go into pretty much any game.

LOL… that sounds a LOT like me. My friends and I have always tackled the Halo campaigns on Legendary straight out of the gate. But more and more I’ve started choosing “story” difficulty for a lot of solo experiences. There are exceptions like ARPGs and other loot driven games where I go as high as I can for the…

My only issue with this is they reviewer may not then have the ability to give a completely accurate review of the game. I wouldn’t say don’t have that options, but I would want it to be noted clearly in the review because the difficulty at which a game is played can have a substantial impact on how it feels and…

I guess it really just comes down to a discussion on how much control an artist wants in how someone digests their art. Does the chef want to give someone the option of having a bland version of their dish? That’s fine. But I can also understand another chef might want someone to eat it as they had designed it to be,…

I sold a sealed copy of Mario 64 on eBay maybe 10 years ago for around $25o.

No, just shaming intrusive DRM.

I really hope this is some sort of sarcasm.

You are correct.  However, I’m guessing he was trying to prove he could get the same sorts of results without a Chronus and therefore make the argument that he doesn’t need one to make himself better.

That’s some seriously over zealous bullshit right there.
