It really sounds like the reviews were spot on, sadly. Maybe they can patch some of that out but it sounds like the game needed more time or more outside input. Did they just run out of steam? Who doesn't know or feedback that the game is slog early on and then repetitive from hour 10-16...

The bots/Stellar didn't miss any of them. We need someone on the inside.

Then you don't agree; those are two different and contradictory points; no one buys $800 shoes to wear them. We all buy video cards to use them. The only similarity is the shortage and the demand. They aren't trying to spending billions to make more of those collectors edition shoes, though...

And I don't think prices will be where they are for years; there will be a break somewhere along the way that brings them back down from where they are now, $2k plus. We'll see when the LHC cards get here if that doesn't do something to the market but otherwise I will just A) wait B) rent and...

But I'm not. I have a 2080ti and a 1080ti and consoles and while I would pay $300+ for a card, I would pay a $1000ish for 6800xt or 3080, I will either rent a Stellar bot for myself or just wait. If I do rent a bot and get a shitload of cards accidently, I would sell them here for exactly what...

I don't mind the total, a $1000 for a card isn't that big of deal. Its the $950 for a $450 MSRP card that's what I am calling ridiculous. Thanks for the info and best of luck, sincerely.

I mean, its a shortage and I would pay couple hundred dollars more but Fuck paying double and completely forget "winning" a chance to do it and smile. Newegg's Xian ownership can suck it.

When it hits discount, for 30 bucks or so, I will revisit. I think the idea of a small team, not focused on what they wanted, borrowing from too many sources and not implementing those well for their particular game, just didn't have what they needed. It sounds again very much like Godfall...

I was having a great time with it until ME: LE hit. My Forge Guard dropping massive fiery anvils of death on everyone was a first for me. I really want to see what they do with the story as well.

Thanks for update, Jozu. I feel like I dodged a bullet refunding my two copies. I think Godfall was last game I noped out of, and I am sad both of these games didn't turn out to be great. They probably aren't going to change the whole combat system, either, or the sound, or any of the other...

Of course it is. Marvel is full to the gills of this woke bullshit now. This movie is every Corporate HR dept's wet dream of D&I but does it? Either it does or doesn't, and it looks like here these are just "representational tokenisms". But Muh Representations! First Deaf and First Gay...

Aloy is now non-binary and identifies as a Robo-sexual beep/boop. Will be played by Elliot Page in the live action version filming now.

We use HPs and I prefer them to Dells/Lenovos. When I was at Bell, at one point we got outsourced to IBM, who used Lenovos and OMG they were hunks of junk. This was a lifetime ago but parts/build quality of both the laptops and desktops were trash. I have also worked at HP and while the work...

I am about to finish up another build and feel the temptation of the dark side. You can rent Stellar for 6 bucks a day. Whop Rental Platform Reading that Stellar twitter account, I no longer wonder why people can't get video cards or consoles. It's people with stimulus checking buying from...

If your only tool is a hammer, all of your problems look like KEEP THIS ONE BITCH ALIVE AT ALL COSTS AND DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. Just think about all of the fantastic things they could have made if Activision hadn't forced all of the good people out when the money train was flowing in. They...

I was kind of in this boat, and looked for a long time for the refund process, and had just about resigned to keep it and see what a day 1 patch is going to bring; its not going to fix many of these issues, which are design choices and publisher decisions. When I saw the review talking about...

Yeah, I cancelled both mine and my daughters' pre-orders. I am shocked it released in this state and the reviews were this "mixed". I am open to them patching the hell out of it but the Climate change/Mankind ruined the earth BS also helped make my decision. If you want to make your game...

This is exactly my point. It may as well have been a new game. I cannot go back to the Stellaris I spent 150+ hours on and recognize the game today. I don't want to have to keep learning how to play the same fucking game. So I don't. Which kind of sucks for me. I am sure it makes them a...

You know how other companies do that? Releasing new games. When did EU4 come out? 13 August 2013. Why has there been 40 DLCs and no EU5? Just kidding, its actually 45 DLCs but I think its 10 major expansions. Because people keep buying DLCs that keep radically revising the systems. I have...

I have to look up when you say "older versions", do you mean Victoria 2, or an different Version of Victoria 3? Because that is my beef with Paradox right now: Game comes out, I get it, learn to play, enjoy it for 100-1000 hours, put it down, come back in 6 months to a year and its a whole new...

I'm super hyped for this. That may not live long once I have to engage with the gameplay systems as they look fun in the videos but weird, it may be just me; I'll have to see how they fit me personally but I am excited to begin that journey.

Bioware: "Hey we made another Vehicle game but it doesn't suck: This time its a TANK." Players:

We all understand, man. Run go play be free!

How did you "reapply"? Tells me I am already signed up.

To me, that was the beauty of GW2; I fucking hate with a passing forced grouping. I don't mind grouping but don't MAKE me do it, don't subject me to all the drooling idiots who make Twitter such bullshit and the powergamer/gearscore freaks. GW2 let people assemble for an objective, put you...

Well, what you are talking about is a multi-factoral balance issue that can and is addressed differently by different companies and cultures/philosophies. I don't feel like at least Early on GW2 was so gamified that it required cash shop boosts to get where you are going vs. some other games, I...

There is a trade off, for sure. We couldn't have imagined how much variety of things to do, how cheap many things are comparatively, the logistics involved in Amazon alone, for instance, are unbelievable. Its truly a Fucking miracle that couldn't have been imagined 50 years ago to order...

That seems to be the mobile/Eastern vs. Western game philosophy. Asian games are made to be time-sink money grabs and people just expect them to squeeze your balls for every dime. It's where EA and mobile games learned it.

I could see if someone wanted to try to make some money competing in the cut throat world of pandemic video card/console shortage acquisition, sure. It's the next Oliver Stone movie. I waited 3 years for prices to come down after I bought my 1080ti at launch and got a 2080ti a year or so later...

My apologies if I misunderstood, sincerely. I would say the "Themepark" MMO isn't quite dead [insert Monty Python gag here] but has stagnated to the point no one is building for it anymore because of all the reasons we were rehashing above. Why build for a genre that one company/game owns? It's...

"Supposed to be about"? Respectfully, what does that even mean? To be part of a larger world, with lots of other people doing things going on that don't involve you. I was present at the start of the MMO era, UO, EQ, (I remember there was something before UO on some service but for the life of...

Just for the record, I said "*I* would have disregarded it, because this seems like a huge overreaction to me, and I don't get the huge tidal wave reaction to the idea of boosts and a cash shop. At least its understandable from a competitor. We will just have to disagree here. Small...

It's not dying because of cash shops, though; its dying because of lack of innovation and a 10 ton whale sitting on the industry, and no one willing to move into the space, including investors, for fear of not getting WoW like returns or crowds. Either they import Asian grind-fests or its...

I've got some occasional stuttering in cutscenes on the PC version, so went back the XSX and have gotten pretty good at the LB/action wheel for weapon switching, which I think will make everything OK for ME2 when I break out the Vanguard.. Also have the console mini game down, which was giving...

Yeah, it's terrible. That said, I would be willing to chip in if someone wanted to buy a license if it got me a 6800XT/6900XT/3080TI at MSRP.

Wow, I knew there would be backlash but holy shit the amount of crying over this. There were some boosts in the GW2 shop from the getgo, I think? I don't remember this level of complaining but that game launched in 2012 and ESO launched in 2015 before we became a country of pure Grade A...

I've played some FemShep and Jennifer Hale is good, and I don't have to suspend my disbelief too much in a future with aliens and biotics but I don't hear this VAST quality difference between her and Mark Meer, who does a great job, too. I mean, She's good, and He's Shepard for me and...

Other folks can correct me but there is no respec in ME1 if recall correctly, but you get plenty of points as you level up, particularly if you have Legendary mode on. ME2 and ME3 have respecs. I don't think you fill out your class but I don't recall feeling pressured about where points went...
