Also, back then, and up until the late 00s, you bought albums, singles were a thing and plenty popular, but mainly if you liked a band you bought their album.

The beatles hit number 1 for 90% of their studio albums.

So what you are saying is, it’s just as Risc-E

Do the cheats still work? When i got fed up i used to just get loads of mustangs and blow everything up. Or the monkey boy was fun.

It would be interesting to do it the Kotor way. In that game you could customise your character but there was also a canon version of the character which followed the light side ending and had specific clothing.

I thought i remembered that the writers considered revan to be female canonically too. In Kotor 2, in an early scene, atton refers to revan as “she” or “her” so potentially they intended that to be the case.

But in individual games it made no difference because you could customise.

Like when i read Harry Potter, i took the descriptions of the characters and they looked a certain way in my head, until the films came out and solidified how they all look to me. I think everyone did this. It didnt matter to me that they looked different in the films to how i imagined. It was just the “official” versions of them.

But the statement was in response to using mindflayers as the main antagonist. Or the big bad. Which we both agree, they were not. So whilst they were a big part of the plot they were not the main bad guy and so…

To circle back

They were used in bg3 (sort of)

Edit: also sort of doesnt mean “they didnt use them fully” it means they weren’t the big bad but they were very closely linked. The big bad was the netherbrain alongsode gortash. Not the mind flayers. You can look that up.

Wgen the final boss is a mindflayer(s) then come back to me and let me know. Until then, dont tell me what i meant when i said sort of…

Right, so circling back.

They used mind flayers for bg3 (sort of).

The big bad isn’t a mind flayer, though, is it?

Mindflayer was used for Baldurs Gate 3 (sort of)

Its a shame because they are really fun games. Lots of nostaloc references as well as twists on the original story, which keep this game fresh. Fun characters, voice acting has high and lows, the new take on old key scenes is great.

Remake is quite linear but still allows for exploration and finding missable secrets. Rebirth has a more open world style mixed with some linear parts to keep the pacing up.

The main thing is it makes a lot of the scenes and story beats from the OG a lot more impactful and meaningful. The animation and acting are (mostly) really good, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

Its easy to think its bloated because they had an entire game for the first few hours of the OG, but its not telling the exact same story, and it really doesn’t feel loated when you actually play.

It feels like a whole new game with a great combat system, and it’s really worth a go, imho.

What if they did this, but the game they abandoned has some great changes and becomes super popular and gets a large playerbase?

Will they want it back? Like will they try to claim its still theirs and spin up some new servers? Only to ruin the game again.

Probably just masturbates.

Thats what i’d do.

You played 50+hours? If it was boring why did you give it that many hours?

I couldnt do that.

I didnt even give it the time of day to purchase it. After diablo immortal and the rest of what had been going on with blizzard around that time i knew the diablo 4 was going to be a cash grab and a waste of time.

Have a look at this for timesplitters 4k pc port

I saw it a while ago and remembered it whe i saw your comment.

In addition to that jimquisition that another user commented, remember that its easy to say “it doesnt affect me if i dont buy it” but people do buy it. Some people spend silly money on cosmetics and if people keep dojng that then it encourages game companies to spend less time on making the games good and more time on pumping out cosmetics.

The proof is in tbe pudding. Games are mostly shit now.

These are massive companies whos sole aim is to make money, not entertaining games. They dont care, they will just follow the money.

What?

Fair enough.

Yes, it is. You are wrong. If you can’t follow it, that’s your problem. Not mine.

I will say what i have said to another user here.

I did not intend to state that fomo was a crime. I didn’t actually say that at any point.

I did say, and mean, that coercion is a crime. That is true from a legal standpoint.

I then gave my opinion, or my philosophical argument, that i believe that fomo is a form of coercion.

It’s not complete gibberish, and i wasn’t lying. You just misinterpreted what i meant.

I coild have been more clear in my argument, but it’s disingenuous and kinda shitty of you to call it complete gibberish when you clearly understood what i was saying.

Stop trying to aggressively argue with me when we could just discuss this like normal people.

That completely fair. You can definitely interpret that implication from what i said. I need to be more careful with my choice of words in future.

However, i assure you my intent was not to make a legal argument.

I was saying that coercion is illegal, which is true. And that i believe that fomo is a form of coercion, which would be my opinion. But it doesn’t read that way.

Sorry.

I guess you are entitled to your opinion. If i only you allowed me to be entitled to mine without trying to insult me.
