I like it. How absolutely dare you! Not all of have your slanty taste buds, bud!

Uhuh. Sure. Don't make an argument. Don't make a point. Don't ignore me or the topic, which is perfectly respectable since most people are probably just playing the game or not. Instead: Lash out. Does that ease your dissonance? If so, I'm envious.

Is anyone seeking to confirm this? Several sources have said the consumable is also available. Easy thing would be to simply confirm the information.... Instead of agreeing with people on a Internet message board as you condemn internet social media and claim things are disinformation. Keeping...

You haven't bought the game? I have it on good authority you shouldn't be allowed an opinion on the game. Reported! The idea you're rationalizing buying the game because you think it'll somehow piss people off? What in the fuck? Who do you think gives a shit? LOL, but actually kinda sad. I'll...

Again, notice the inability to address a concern many players seem to have in favor of addressing the concern one wants to presume they have because there is a preloaded dismissal. The actual, underlying concern is the game launched with confusing or underhanded decisions that seemed to go...

And the DD2 situation isn't as simple as represented as just fast travel, no biggie. The game director literally did the "travel should be meaningful" meme and represented a design philosophy justifying limited fast travel saying DD2 travel was going to be fun and worth the time and challenge...

Yeah, he shoulda known better, and probably would in the current political climate. Always wiser to run a business lean, but also keep in mind the extravagant spending and employee perks seemed pretty typical in the game industry at the time, or were higher than average but praised. And the...

Blast from the past. Still makes me wonder.... I mean a prominent theme was that Curt was so corrupt and incompetent that local government had to step in and save the day. Conveniently around an election and change of party. And I remember getting a lot of pushback with my implications the...

Damn, you divorced her over that? Fuck it and moved on indeed!

The problem is confusion and/or incompetence. They launched a game where they didn't discuss a cash shop, nor did the early access streamers and such. Then on launch there's a cash shop with items that seem like it should just be a part of any base game, like changing your character. Leading...

Please consider that you could stop being a pearl clutching faggot pretending nobody is allowed to discuss a game directly or the indirect situation of a shoddy game release unless one plays a game that barely just released. I'm a consumer looking for information on a game to decide if wanted...

If you don't want to read discussion of the game or discussion of discussion of the game feel free to take the high road by just ignoring it, not then discussing how you don't want discussion by discussing the thing you don't want discussed. Additionally, not replying to anyone or any post in...

What kind of car?

Yeah, the problem is social media exists, not that retard spastic tryhards like you have always existed. Nobody has said shit that others shouldn't like the game or have fun. Or that they even think the game itself is bad because the business model is shit. Nobody that I've seen here has...

Maybe the game would have had a chance to be better with less people with your perspective that others should just shut up and consoom? Everyone is noticing the dissonance and discord in everything these days. Its fascinating watching the vastly different ways people try to cope with it...

If you had a coherent argument or point, other than acknowledging you don't understand, I suppose you'd be trying to make it.

Then you don't understand resource allocation or business. If micro transactions somehow occured spontaneously and independent of a game's development or a studio's business plan then you'd be very wise to ignore something you don't personally care about. It doesn't mean nothing or they wouldn't...

People whining about cash shop items are so lame that in your mind their existance magically fixed well documented performance issue? That's a helluva take. You know a game has issues when the threads are this hilarious.

I've very clearly been openly talking about how I haven't played the game and am responding to things I'm seeing in reviews and posts and asking questions, and your big gotcha is accusing me of doing the, uhhhhh, thing I've openly been doing? And I'm just very angry and looking for things to cry...

The counter argument is the game was developed independently of anything to do with such items and just decided to slap on a cash shop in at the last minute for the heck of it even though it's all pointless items of no advantage and gamers are at fault for not assuming that would happen even if...

My favorite argument is that the things a gaming corporation is doing as conscious business decisions are no big deal because they're actually pointless things to be doing. Well, golly, they're just wasting time and resources on pointless business decisions and/or they don't even understand...

That's a pretty weak dismissal. Fans of the franchise who have been listening to the stated design philosophy of the current game and team are now dismissed as irrelevant because the original game is 12 years old? Huh? The current team apparently didn't seem to adequately express their...

Just bring in a cutting board and antler handle knife and eat it straight power move style.

Nothing is rarely about what is done, but how and why. It seems a lot of long time fans and followers of the game aren't so upset about mtx existing necessarily, but that it seems like a bait and switch to the design philosophy and was kept secret. Doubt most would be surprised or bothered if...

Just a bunch of broke incels who can't stand to see other people having fun playing a game. Please make your purchase immediately, citizen. These seem to be the big ones: Bad performance. Awkward save files making it not easy to even restart a character. Cash shop that wasn't disclosed even to...

I was pretty underwhelmed with the rogue combat and class generally in the open demo, and it was described often as one of the better ones. Maybe it was "fine" but it didn't feel at all like it was so well done all the other, more obviously lacking aspects were an acceptable tradeoff. Won't...

Sure, friend. Feel free to engage in a calm and rational discussion of the issue and not succumb to the outrage, perceived or otherwise. Or please explain the relevance of providing a "yeah, but" defense of a practice you acknowledge is stupid and shouldn't exist. I'll try to hear you out and...

Ah, cool, so they burned good will and spent dev time and attention to implement unnecessary things that may make their customers feel like idiots. That's better than a meaningful pay to win shop.

Ah. Thanks for clarifying. I guess the problem isn't that they misled their fans by statements or assumptions that fast travel wasn't designed into the game as a feature and then launched with an item shop that included fast travel items. The actual problem is those people confused or...

Sounds like it's 30fps... Oof.

Didn't devs say no fast travel was a conscious decision in game design to make it more immersive or whatever? And now they're selling fast travel items? If so, lol. As always, I'm the least eager person in the world because it usually pays off and I don't want to give assholes even my game pass...

The fact we're discussing their probable discussions over the optics and social justice value of including things in the movie is exactly why DEI is a cancer. They're not just focused on making a good product. We're not able to just discuss the show for what it is. Everyone is forced to be...

If on gas you've got a great setup for a light carbon steel wok and real high temp stir frying. Especially if you can do a curved wok holder attachment to swap out that gets the wok lower and offers some support. With a lightweight carbon steel wok that would be my ideal indoor setup. Preferred...

Yeah. Lots of dependsing involved. I could process some books/pods at faster speeds, whereas I'm listening to Sowell's Vision of the Anointed and it's getting dangerous while driving because I keep stopping it to think or rewind to re-hear stuff. Different things can definitely be processed at...

Yeah. Interesting data finding that a lot of "autism" is actually cured by taking away screen time. Which makes sense. Force people to actual interact as humans and they're better able to interact like humans. Probably the only reason I can even pretend to be normal is I was never allowed to...

Many years ago when I was still listening to Ben Shapiro I tried to listen on even just 1.3 speed. Thought my brain was going to melt. I've seen people who listen to audio books on 1.5 speed, which offense me greatly. I just figure some shit ain't worth listening to if my instinct is to speed...

"I saw an article on ADHD which I'm sure of I have..." The trend of broken people self diagnosing conditions and diseases and trying to collect them all like they're Pokemons is bizarre. I worked with a cute, smart married hero girl that was very shy and had typical anxiety issues. Then only...

Woks are designed for and benefit from high temp cooking. I try not to be an alarmist about stuff just because I have personal medical issues with chemicals, but I haven't seen anything that makes me think high-temp cooking and non-stick is anything but a bad idea from a chemical standpoint...
