My gripes (on exploration and the combat system): The open world is repetitive: Get to a new area, be presented with a list of things to do with specific pinpointed spots on a map rather than discovering them organically—activate towers, kill specific enemies, find Materia deposits, painstakingly hunt for things…

I’m also completing most of the map objectives and finally reached Cosmo Canyon, I can hardly believe I’m relieved to get in a desert area. Gongaga was gorgeous but such a hell to navigate, having to try every damn mushroom to know where it leads was a chore and I’m probably not playing through that game again once…

Once again, the required mini games for this game are its biggest issues, they’re excessive, annoying, and unnecessary. I find myself getting pissed every time I learn I have to play Queen’s Blood or some other crap just to continue a side quest, or at worst, the actual main story.

First gear: There are legitimate reasons why EVs don’t work for certain use cases, but the main reason why places like California have adopted EVs at many multiples of other states is that EVs have become front and center in the culture wars. Instead of a machine, EVs have become a symbol of latte-sipping liberals…

Americans who have made the shift to electric vehicles so far tend to be richer, younger and more likely to live in urban areas than the average person, research shows. Many reported being motivated by environmental concerns, and some by interest in the latest, cutting-edge technology.

I actually just finished Infinite Wealth last week and the ending is probably one of the best endings to a game that I’ve seen in awhile. There was a lot of growth from both Kiryu and “Itchy-butt” as he was so lovingly named in the Sujimon League, lol.

Nevermind that the plug in needs 1/10th of the battery, which not only means production inputs are lower, but also means that those limited resources can be used in additional new plug ins.

On another note, they should’ve leaned into it, called it an “art installation,” and given the character a name like “Wilton Wanka.”

Someone get an interview with this lady I want some deets.

He should have known it was a max8/9 before he got on the plane by looking at the plane parked at the gate and seeing the engines or checking the planes registration number.

Why run two assembly lines and pay extra workers when you can just produce more cars faster and disable $15 worth of parts in software.

Yeah the takeaway from this is NOT that single player games are in trouble. There were lots of other potential reasons (aside from quality) why this failed:

I mean, I think the game didn’t do to well because it looked boring as hell and EA didn’t go that hard with promoting it. 

Aren’t single player games thriving right now? The issue may be more major publishers caring more about shareholders than gamers

Oh relax. Anglophone and Francophones picking on one another is a national past time. Nearly half my blood relatives are Francophones and we poke fun at one another constantly. That said, I have two family members who work(ed) at Eidos Montreal and it had it’s fair share of French Canadian employees (not a majority…

Of course. Around the world, people think hockey is the national sport in Canada. But in fact, Quebec-bashing is the most popular.

100% she was texting and driving or scrolling Instagram.

In “defense” of Eidos Montreal, being an asshole to other people is a very French Canadian thing to do, so it’s not like they were singling him out.
