I do appreciate how hard it can be to tell the difference sometimes.

That’s… a lot of batteries for one tablet. Where are the other 18,647?

The logic here is astounding.

You think Valve is what it is because of luck?

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read on here for a while.

I think Destiny is the only game I ever put over 2,000 hours into, but Factorio might take the crown soon - 1800 and counting.

Well that didn’t tell me a damn thing about the game.

That’s ok, I took away my support for Apex Legends many seasons ago!

Their anti cheat has always been a joke anyway.

Looks at 11 year old receipt… “oops”

That’s a bad look. He may be smart but that’s really unprofessional. You call them whatever you want behind their backs. You don’t insult clients to their face no matter how stupid they are. He’s lucky he kept his job.

Guess it’s time to sell the PS5 that I don’t play anymore anyway.

Huh. And here I’ve been a satisfied Steam user for 20 years. Weird.

Hahahaha no.

I just lost The Game :(

Same. Pretty sure I own every Bethesda rpg right up through Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I just couldn’t be bothered with Fallout 76 bullshit, and the handful of my friends that played Starfield said it was just sad.

I don’t much care what they release next. It won’t hold a candle to BG3.

Best skills from video games:

Puzzle solving / abstract thinking

Hand / eye coordination

Not flying into a blind rage when playing Rocket League, Apex, Deadlock, etc.

Still working on that last one.

If somebody starts mouthing off I just his ESC and mute every other player. Makes for a much more enjoyable game.

You’re the guy that quits right after you lose your lane, huh?

Awesome. The lack of cosmetics for real money was the only thing holding this game back…

They have as much power over that as I do over my government selling bombs to Israel so they can blow up thousands of Palestinian children. Zero.

Cool, so, still not the Russian government.

The Russian government had nothing to do with this game.

Maybe you’re right, I did play a LOT of Apex so maybe my brain misfired on this one, but I was playing Deadlock the other day and one of McGinnus’ lines instantly made me think “Damn, that was Commander Shepard!” I’ll have to listen closer next time I play and see if it’s really Bangalore I’m hearing.

99% sure she voiced McGinnus in Deadlock.

Good, I wonder if they removed it for Xcom 2 yet. I haven’t played that since they sideloaded that crap into my steam install.

It’s dismissive of people’s valid opinions of the game. Review bombing is more when people brigade reviews for things that have nothing to do with the game itself, like people bombing Harry Potter because they were pissed about JK Rowling’s tweets.

It’s a review of the product as it exists. Sounds pretty organic.

Nah I’m good.

Are you me?

Same situation. No PSN renewals, when my Gamepass expires later this year that’s it. I’m good with Steam. These consoles got too greedy.

Well they lost me with their ridiculous price hike for PSN. I won’t be buying any more multiplayer games for my PS5.

TFU1 was a lot of fun for me - I 100%ed it on Xbox and had a blast. I remember spending time learning all the moves and becoming a flowing river of death with the combos. The story was pretty cool at the time, but you have to realize it was only competing with the films at that point, and people were hungry for more Star Wars back then.

TFU2 was fucking garbage and I think I played it for all of 45 minutes before going “Nah”.

I played through it at least 3 times back in the day to 100% the achievements. Don’t know if I have another run in me. But for anyone who hasn’t played, go for it. It’s a blast and has some unique game mechanics.

You are massively overestimating the technical knowledge of the average gamer.

This scenario is exactly why consumer protection laws exist. You shouldn’t have to be an expert on everything you buy just to stay safe.

I want this. Gimme.

NMS is a lot of fun. I’ve done a couple run throughs of that game to the end and it’s always a good time, even if it does get a bit shallow after many many hours. Enjoy it!

The only way to win is not to play.

Todd successfully drove me away. Didn’t buy Fallout 76 or Starrim after having purchased every single Fallout and Elder Scrolls game all the way back to Arena. Nice work Todd.

This guy puts tech journalists to shame.

So many Microsoft bootlickers in this thread.

It’s fun and I enjoyed my time with it, but once you understand how the zombie waves work it’s very, very easy to build a cheez defense against them, and then there’s no difficulty anymore.

As long as you don’t look up guides on how to build the cheese bases you’ll enjoy yourself.

Sure there are plenty of good FPS games all the time. Me and my friends are in our early to late 40’s so it’s hard for us to get anything together for long periods of time since we all have Real Life™ going on. But every once in a while a game just hits, and DMZ had everyone in my clan hyped and we all played together regularly for a few months. It was truly awesome and just like the old days when we played Quake and Tribes together.

Then they started spitting out p2w shit and it just sucked the wind out of everyone’s sails.

Slimy things like introducing p2w skins in DMZ, ending the best fps run I’ve had with friends in years?

Fuckers.
