It’s not even a Bungie game, that’s the worst part. They licensed the IP to NetEase.

For anyone else that’s vaguely interested at first: It’s a mobile game.

Some lady was paying zero attention and backed out her parking spot… almost directly into me. Thankfully she was at least awake even if she was mostly oblivious. The horn got her to stop lol

there is no legal way to get around that.

That’s debatable.

Yeah, sure. I’m not saying the epilogue was too long, just the game overall.

Consider it: did they really need every scene in the game? Are you honestly gonna tell me that every. single. mission. was plot critical or would’ve made the game lesser in any significant way?

There was a lot they could’ve trimmed down or removed.

Which, to clarify, it’s not like I think the length is a great crime or significantly detracts from the game. I just feel like it would’ve been better if it was a bit shorter. I’m not trying to compare it to something like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey where it’s a 100+ hour game and 70hrs of it is narratively irrelevant.

Yeah kinda my take.

I would’ve been fine with RDR2 being a bit shorter, frankly, I was kinda dragging along by the end.

Going F2P was shitty from my perspective, but going F2P and removing all the content I’d paid for already… yikes.

What absolutely killed it for me is when they started including important story information in battlepasses. I stopped playing for awhile, and then started doing a new expansion only to find out that my light had been reset, half my favorite guns were literally useless, and on top of all of that I couldn’t really follow the plot anymore because they had introduced an entirely new hub area I’d never seen, and several new characters that they just expected me to know.

What ‘whirlwind of changes’ has happened to Destiny 2?

Maybe I’ll actually consider playing it again if it’s major enough.

I doubt it, just from this article, because most of my issues were with the monetization and ‘running destiny 2 like a business’ doesn’t make me expect they’ll fix my issues with it lol

I don’t really think it’s ever been a Pokemon knockoff in anything but the monster designs. And they’re not going to change all of those, so… it’s just as a much a Pokemon knockoff as it’s always been.

From my understanding, they appear to be coming from you- that’s kinda the point.

I’m really enjoying it quite a lot- I first played around a20, and then I picked it up again recently.

It isn’t a perfect game, but it’s a pretty decent experience that’s very unique.

I don’t think it’s worth $45. That seems a bit excessive. $20 or maybe even $30? Sure.

With that said, I haven’t followed the game’s development at all really. I could see a bunch of broken promises causing some completely understandable frustration with the devs.

The civilised side and the vinegar people

I love how clearly this second sentence displays which of the two sides you are.

I was right! It was interesting. Thanks for the reply.

It’s easy to read, but it also reads like the written equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Are there languages with more than 2 genders? That sounds interesting.

To be clear it’s ‘prohibitively expensive’ on a governmental scale.

There’s so few places that have that combo of “not enough water” and “large amounts of wealth” that desalinization just isn’t used a lot.

What wattage is the PSU?

You could try taking the GPU out entirely and see if it gets anywhere. If it runs fine without the GPU it’s probably wanting way more power than your PSU can provide. I doubt that’s the issue for various reasons, but it’s a possibility.

There’s literally like four places with free wifi in my entire town. Most of the restaurants don’t have it, and we only have two hotels… neither of which has properly free wifi- you have to get a room to use it.

Kinda my take on it.

The only aspect of Christmas that’s inherently Christian is the fact that it has ‘Christ’ in the name.

When I was young it was a bit different- we’d pray on Christmas, have a themed tree, a little nativity scene setup. That sort of thing. I don’t do that anymore. Christmas is as religious to me as Valentines day, my birthday, Saint Patrick’s day, and Thanksgiving. It’s more a cultural event than a religious one, is what I’m getting at.

If anyone wants a further example of “Christmas but not even slightly Christian”, try watching a few Christmas movies. A lot of them aren’t particularly religious. I recently saw Violent Night, it’s an excellent example lol.

Hah, when I think YAML my brain goes to the Mechwarrior 5 mod: Yet Another Mech Lab.
