Lord British working on a RPG?Ultima-like supposedly.
You seem to have a suspicious liking of suffacting hugs
Just a little too excitable.You seem to have a suspicious liking of suffacting hugs
Also love sharing hugs whenever possible and appropriate.
Now just add regional price, S-Eseems like DQB2 is no longer denuvo-ed
Regardless of the intentions behind the delay, this event shouldn't be held on the day of George Floyd's memorial service. Full stop. It's absolutely the right call to make and anyone who is bothered by that is completely insensitive to the issue and needs to get their priorities straight.I always enjoy reading your posts and enthusiasm so I'm glad you're back!
On the subject of corporations trying to earn brownie points from theirzealotsloyal customers, I try to think about it in a non-cynical way. Sure, maybe on some level, it's merely a PR-strategy, but at the same time, the world could use less cynicism, especially right now, when people are still being persecuted simply because their skin colour is different. It's kind of sad considering how Reverend King's dream has remain unrealised for almost 60 years.
That's not what that person was saying. My understanding is that he was taking issue with corporations, the embodiment of impersonality, telling people how to feel and behave, acting all high and virtuous when their decision was probably made in self-interest. Sony still made the right call but I can see his point.Anyone who is bothered by that is completely insensitive to the issue and needs to get their priorities straight
Not only is that a very strange conclusion to draw if that was indeed the case, that's not really what I get from his posts. But I'm done with that discussion.That's not what that person was saying.

Of course nobody is going to take issue with not holding the event on the memorial service for the symbol and spark for this movement and there is no need to per-emptively throw such ultimatums out.
We're all in this together and this kind of post is really not helping us remember that. As Li kao said, let's try and be good to each other .
Well for me...I commend the actI will always support shitting on corporations for doing cynical things, but I'm not going to call them out for doing the right thing once. That's not to say, that I will be amazed by it, either, just that they deserve a little bit of props for that.
I reviewed it and I quite enjoyed it. It does get kind of repetitive towards the end and it ends on a cliffhanger but the time manipulation mechanic works very well.anyone played this?
I respect that you are done with it. I still have to say that I'm not sure what you referred to by calling it a "strange" conclusion, but whatever it was, that was pretty dismissive.Not only is that a very strange conclusion to draw if that was indeed the case, that's not really what I get from his posts.

That's fair enough. I'm certainly not saying that we should give these companies free marketing on the back of a real crisis.Well for me...I commend the act
Not the actor.
OK, just to avoid misunderstandings, I mean his conclusion, not yours. They aren't telling anyone how to feel, they are simply moving a date, that doesn't make them high and mighty or virtuous, it simply shows that they know how to read the room. It's simply the decent thing to do, nothing more and nothing less.I respect that you are done with it.

Back to videogames
I don't remember exactly but I think first two chapters took me around 35h and the full game 85h.To anyone who has beaten CS3, would you say that the end of chapter 2 is past the halfway point? Maybe 60%?
Not sure why you quoted me for since: #1) I'm not the one who had a dramatic exit; and #2) I think Sony made the right call by delaying the conference.Regardless of the intentions behind the delay, this event shouldn't be held on the day of George Floyd's memorial service.

Really? Damn...I don't remember exactly but I think first two chapters took me around 35h and the full game 85h.
I'm just saying that regardless of brownie points or genuine concern, it was the only thing to do. We can look at it with more or less cynicism but at the end of the day it was the only appropriate course of action.Not sure why you quoted me for since: #1) I'm not the one who had a dramatic exit; and #2) I think Sony made the right call by delaying the conference.
The chapters get longer as you go on. You're probably a third through.To anyone who has beaten CS3, would you say that the end of chapter 2 is past the halfway point? Maybe 60%?

Focused on what ?
Come on. I'm all for finding the good in people and for trying to always create a dialogue if possible, but there's a limit and it was crossed. Acting like a 12yo that goes against any shred of decency just for the sake of being "against", even if, in that particular instance, the stance a corporation took happens to be the only sensible position is inexcusable.Let's cess all activities and close everything because something is happening somewhere!
Nevermind, not gonna waste my time.
I completely agree that it was wrong of him to say this. I'm also glad that you agree in trying to see the good in people. There's just a misunderstanding, I was talking about his first post on this topic :I'm sorry but I don't agree at all with this, your reading of this might apply, at best, to this person's very first post on the subject but then:

Holding a press conference announcing video games at this particular time would have been despicable and shameful, even for a corporation. They can't tell us how to feel, so the world deosn't need that distraction now.
That I can understand. I can see where he was coming from. His later posts are indeed hostile and closed to discussion but his first reply was understandable.That's so stupid. Show us your consumer product or not, i don't need corporations to tell me how to feel about certain events.
We might have bad days with bad takes but, when tackling a topic of such importance for so many people, I think it's pretty normal to expect strong reactions from the forum you posted that bad take on. There were no complex feeling to be seen there, in my opinion, just a person downplaying an event that goes beyond this forum and video games and that many people consider to be of complete importance. The first take was a drive-by "that's stupid" that was then edited into a more elaborate post. Everyone is entitled to their own idea but, if the topic is something like "the importance of the protests happening right now" (mind you, not how you feel about them, if you agree with one side or the other, simply that what's happening is more important than a video game presentation) and your take is "well, that's stupid, nothing to be focused on, we cannot stop all marketing events just because folks are fighting in the streets for social rights" well... free to have that idea but I also think that you're an idiot and your idea is rubbish. You're free to come back the next day and say "well, sorry, that was in bad taste" I'm the first to say you should be given a second chance but you cannot expect people to ignore something like that just because they always have to assume that the person might be having a bad day or may not be in the right state of mind with some foggy ideas. That's a dangerous way of thinking and can be used to excuse anything.I'd like us to remember we're all people, that we are not perfect, that we have bad days and sometimes we talk out of our asses. Sometimes we say the wrong things because emotions are high.
I agree with this part... in part. There was no dogpiling, I think, we barely have 4-5 people replying to a post. BUT I agree that replies after the guy deactivated the account might have been avoided.Half a page of insults and dogpiling isn't what meta tries to be in my opinion
Thanks for the reply and I only quoted the part that summarizes what I disagree with. I didn't say to excuse or ignore unacceptable things. I am very much against that and I tend to speak up when I read things that don't sit right with me myself. I'm with you here.you cannot expect people to ignore something like that just because they always have to assume that the person might be having a bad day or may not be in the right state of mind with some foggy ideas.

What a cynical take. I approve!Well for me...I commend the act
Not the actor.
Damn, I thought I was about halfway through. Thanks.The chapters get longer as you go on. You're probably a third through.
The game should be getting easier as you go. If you're taking too much damage a good shield can help. Sounds like you're messing with an enemy you aren't ready for yet, though.Holy crap that difficulty ramp-up in D:OS2. I like that the game is no cakewalk but seeing a troll 2-shot my tank... That feels a little much .
Any advice for builds in general?
I hate to admit it but it is probably the 2nd best Xeno game after Xenogears. Such a great game.Unlocked Skell Flight in Xenoblade X - it's incredibly hard to believe this game is, at its heart, a Wii U game tbh. Looks better than a ton of PS4/XB1 games with the higher internal resolution.
I'm really, really pissed right now. Seriously, Epic is destroying every bit of my enthusiasm for pc gaming.
The enemy was just a single level above mine so perhaps a little early, that's why I was surprised. I overcame it in the end but I'm really surprised at the spike in difficulty and I'm relieved things get easier .The game should be getting easier as you go. If you're taking too much damage a good shield can help. Sounds like you're messing with an enemy you aren't ready for yet, though.
What Sega news?I;m kinda shocked with the Sega news, are I really have to rewrite the same negative review for every sega game in my library?
Really disappointed, and another one into the blacklist
