I‘m on spur side with the Far Cry games. They feel like checklists to complete rather than good games. FC3 and Blood Dragon were the only ones I truly enjoyed, and FC4 being the only other one I even finished. Albeit I finished it within. An hour because I actually did nothing until that dude come back lol

Borderlands2 was pretty good imo. Played it with friends and found the dialogues funny and Handsome Jack was a good antagonist, just like Vaas from FarCry3.

Borderlands3 was just bad imo, it focused on the wrong aspects and elevated other things to appeal to younger audiences. I mean, the only reason for the bad guys to be bad guys was that they were bad guys, not someone who saw himself as a snobby hero and you as the bad guys he needs to stop.

I’ll definitely wait this one out until epic gives it away for free.

To further flesh out your comment:

I recently played a small game called “Ever Forward” on the Nintendo switch. Nowhere it says that the game runs like a PowerPoint presentation. Other than that, it would be helpful if I would have read a review that said “the beautiful world you see in the trailer and screenshots is the ‘hub’ where you enter boring looking levels. The puzzles consist of 2-3 cameras that react to sound and a cube you can throw and that you need to carry to the end of each short puzzle.”

May I Quote a reddit comment from back in the days:

[Koteric, 9y ago] I was about to say give them a break, but then I remembered this isn’t the early 90’s and there is no fathomable reason for a company to not backup their servers other than they don’t give a shit about their product or their customers.

Totally, I’ve enjoyed so many <20h games but only so few >40h games

Same with Super Mario 64. just eerie and empty.

It took monolith 6 years (after the release of XC2 and they had built the engine and assets) to release 2 games and 2 DLC with massive worlds and stories, and Square can’t even make a game half of the world size.

Oh come on… it took them THIS LONG to figure that out??? Stockholders milk the lactaid-acid out of Ubisoft since 2013.

I can’t help but think that JoshStrifeHayes, a YouTuber who played AmoredCore some time back, had a little impact.

No wonder their gaming revenue fell. My 10 year old gaming pc’s mid tier graphics card is good enough to play modern games 1080p 60FPS mid-high settings. Everyone got into crypto mining, that boom is over, and now the data center, GenAI, is the big seller.

Is fishing still a thing in MMOs? Genuinely asking. I haven’t played an MMO since 2017 and fishing is basically nonexistent in offline games.

Yes this is what I meant!

You buy the game on the AppStore for your account once and you can play it on any device. And the store itself lists the number of purchases, but not the platform of purchase.

Don’t say iOS… say “Apple Ecosystem” please. It’s 1 purchase and you can play on Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Since when did they change the narrative to be space aliens??

Cid. He’s just way too friendly and upbeat.

So… this means that a black person can be cast for the role of Hitler? And a white person can be cast for Nelson Mandela?

How exactly is “not seeing past the color of their skin” racism? Please, this is a genuine question.

I don’t have any problems with the Valkyries themselves, just with the black ones because there simply is no explanation as to how they got there. Say they’re a lost unit from Wakanda and ended up there and climbed up the ranks - I take it, and I’ll like it.

You’re right with that last paragraph. That movie was somehow worse than Velocipastor.

Nah, I got triggered by the lack of any meaningful conversation, the bad writing, the lame jokes…

The black walkyrie in Norse mythology just feels like a black founding fathers of the US.

Now if they would have some narrative as to how she got there, like she’s wakandan and she just somehow ended up there, that would be a whole(some) other story.

How is it whitewashing if it is historically accurate? Would you take Schindler’s List and suddenly make SS Officials black?

Certainly not.

Would you make the founding fathers of the United States and their fellowship black or Asian? No, they were white and it would certainly piss off a lot of black people, considering the history of the US.

Yes, actors should not be limited by what they can’t change, yet one shouldn’t rewrite culture.
