Apparently half of the people who purchase vinyl records don’t own a record player and thus have no means of playing them. They’re not that different from a Funko Pop at that point.

They’re definitely better, but I think mostly because they’d already done 4 by the time P3P released, so Social Links were on a higher standard than when they first introduced them in the original version of 3.

P3P has all the gameplay improvements and story bits from FES other than the post-game The Answer chapter. The bigger change that people definitely do bring up is the more visual novel styling and menu-based navigation over moving around the game world like the originals.

Yeah, Obsidian, who has a pretty decent track record with CRPGs. The concept is the same whether Larian did it or not though. A stand alone module for an expansion is probably not going to be as popular as one that continues the story.

I figure the argument is pretty simple; someone is getting paid for the success of the show on streaming media. Why shouldn’t it be the people who made it?

They did that with the second Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion (Storms of Zenthir) and it was by far the least popular (after having made an award winning and well regarded first expansion (Mask of the Betrayer) that did continue after the main game’s kind of awful ending.)

They adapted the entirety of the book (more or less) into the first season of the show. Season 2 is new material, presumably (or at least stuff that didn’t make it into the book.)

That’s my biggest issue with the patch. They understood just how powerful vulnerability and the like were as multipliers, but all they’ve done is take a nerf bat to the coefficients. Everyone is generally worse for it, but importantly, nothing is better as a consequence. The nerf didn’t make any alternative build any…

To be fair, it’s not like the old content was somehow compatible with the new game. They have to recreate all that stuff piece by piece.

It’s worth noting that in Diablo 3, leveling was not the main content for seasons, but rather what you did when you hit the cap and could start farming for end game gear. It revolved heavily around sets that helped define your build and that they usually made fairly easy to obtain (at least your first set, min-maxing…

Don’t forget charging for basic services, because it’s better to charge everyone a few bucks a month for the privilege of using your service rather than allowing them to create content that drives people to your platform in the first place. It’d be like if YouTube charged for the privilege of being able to upload…

I was just thinking of this parallel! Technocrats love the idea of just firing your labor whenever you’re unhappy with the results you’re getting. As if the act of firing people somehow produced higher quality replacement workers, or that a given field has an endless number of replacements just waiting to work for…

I feel like there’s probably no shortage of people willing to say they would, but fewer that are willing to commit the actual time it takes to moderate some of the larger forums.

Reddit is generally a nice improvement over individual forums for everything. Up until the desire to go public encouraged them to push this on the site.

More specifically, it’s a smart watch. There’s nothing to invest in. In a few years the battery will be worn, the device will likely be unsupported, and it’ll grow slower no matter how well you maintain it.

Who thinks of smart watches as investments?

Was anyone asking for a replication of that scene?

The original Persona 3 had the issue of social links being their first attempt at the idea, so when you play FeMC, you’re playing with writing done after they’d finished the original Persona 4 already, so the original links feel really simple in comparison (often with a lot of just passing time.)

The one thing I liked about Johnson’s film was that Rey was going to be able to be the hero without needing to be cosmically destined to be as such. She didn’t need a preordained genetic pedigree that made her important simply because of who her parents were.

Maybe a particular Sith or something? Because on the whole they’re chock full of religious cults (they ended the sequel trilogy with one around Palpatine) and they’re extremely dogmatic.
