they’ve probably earned him more than a couple of dollars, too, just from people wanting to read the source material.

and I doubt there would have been a Netflix series without the games.

if your article can be summarised as “no”, you don’t have enough material to write an article.

destiny (2, at least) was a mechanically great shooter attached to an abysmal story with awful MMO gear/leveling features and some of the worst company decisions I’ve ever heard of.

the game would literally be better if their parent company had died the moment they released it.

he’s almost got his early factory running in bobangels!

let’s just say that steam has a section of games distinctly not aimed at children.

I remember back in the day, 2010 or thereabouts, calculating how much time I’d need to spend doing pve missions to afford PLEX with ISK alone. it was going to work out at something like 30 hours. that’s a full time job in this country.

if they focused entirely on either the pvp or the pve side, the game could be amazing. if they really went all in on pve content, ship progression, finding rare faction equipment and being able to totally overhaul your ships, OR they made it so that there’s ways to effectively earn an income through pure PVP, never having to engage in the boring anomaly grind (I don’t think anomalies is what they’re actually called, but it’s been too long, I don’t remember anymore)

either one would have made an incredible game. but as it stands, the pve is lacklustre and grindy, and the pvp is unlucrative and too often just frustrating.

I used to hate early access - why should we pay to test an unfinished game, when that’s an actual job that people get paid to do?

but I’ve come to recognise that it’s am important avenue for funding for many developers, and tbh, I don’t think any of the early access games I’ve played have felt “incomplete” - perhaps lacking polish, perhaps in need of more content, but that’s true of many full releases, and early access not only gets you these games at a reduced price, it effectively guarantees a large amount of free DLC as the game gets made more complete.

my only real complaint now is sometimes I like early access features which end up getting cut from the finished game.

I can’t say I’m surprised. I was wondering whether I should jump in on day 1, since I played C:S 1 pretty heavily, and want to support the devs, but this definitely means I’ll be waiting at least a few patches.

🤨

I always felt like the arm got the short end in the expansion. they just never got anything to parallel the krogoth.

their static artillery being shorter range also always hurt them in my vs cpu games. though the vulcan was pretty awesome of you could somehow generate enough energy to sustain its RoF.

I wonder if the verb Google will stay with us when its origin is lost in history

I’ve seen lots of people who say they’re from China, but they all look just like Japanese people, can I really just take them at their word?

we’re not their customers, we’re the product they sell.

Bethesda owns ID these days

I’ll believe it when I see it (or read a post on here talking about how it’s actually working)

well, certainly, but there are definite standouts.

wait, for real? why? 🤨

yesss original NWN crew report in

that’s pretty insignificant by MMO standards, I’d say I have at lest twice, if not 3x that logged in WoW over the years, and I quit during Legion
