    What kills multiplayer games

    It's millions of people with dozens of archetypes with hundreds of sub-niches all trying to shape games into what THEY want. You make a good game and say "fuck everyone who doesn't like it, welcome those who do." If you try to make a game for everyone you kill the game. My biggest complaint...

    Hawkeye

    The play thing was Hawkeye hating how people romance the trauma he lived through. It's all "Oh that's so cool" "Oh you're a hero" "Oh these guys are awesome" and in his mind it was war. Combat. Dead people. But it's a Disney Musical about how handsome and strong they are and not about the...

    Battlefield 2042

    This game has improved probably 75% from the open beta, and like 25-50% since 90 dollar launch. That said, I don't think it will hit the classic BF feel that people are looking for. It's just kind of a different game now. What's REALLY fucking weird is I looked at the custom servers for no...

    Hawkeye

    Not so bad, I can see some of the future action with Steinfeld being pretty meh as the first action scene with her seemed to be lot of mexican wrestling at a snail's pace. I do enjoy the Jacques dude's character. He's great. Hawkeye's one-liners are pretty good when he's not talking about his...

    Battlefield 2042

    Seems good. The bug they listed where you couldn't hit the driver in the hovercraft was the big one. Basically you had no choice to stop it besides blowing it up, which isn't THAT hard, but less and less people run M5's once they level up and get new gear. AR change will be interesting, but I...

    Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

    It has gore in it. That's why. Keep praising authoritarian censorship though.

    Battlefield 2042

    They honestly just need to take the ballistic glass off the hovercraft or have the fan be disabled easily and it'd be fine. Currently they take 2 M5's or 1 M5 and 2 anti-armor grenades to kill so it's really not that. What IS bad is when they have 6 of them up at once. THAT is the problem...

    Battlefield 2042

    The tank thing makes sense, I even think earlier BF's had the same thing. The 'weak' spots (which I didn't think even existed until a few days ago after fighting vehicle vs vehicle for about 30 hours now) are the tracks and underbody. The top is armored. The idea with c5 is you plant it under...

    MacGruber

    I'm so excited. I saw MacGruber 3 times in theaters. The movie was in theaters for like, 5 weeks? So I probably have the world record. It's the only movie I've watched 10+ times that wasn't some Comedy Central spam shit. I'm so glad it's rated R. He's like Deadpool if Deadpool was never...

    Cowboy Bebop

    Anime has an Uncanny Valley thing where when it's a cartoon you go "Oh, it's okay it's dumb, because it's a cartoon. These are cartoon characters so they don't need more than 3 emotions." Then when it's translated into real life you go "Oh, it was fucking dumb the whole time."

    Battlefield 2042

    Squads are 4 people and you can play with 4 people. There's no traditional scoreboard, but if you hit TAB you can see a run down of your stats, your squads stats, and a summary of the top squads' stats. Unlocked the Bolte last night. Not only is it a fucking LIGHT vehicle so you can spam it...

    Mathil's Absolution build (really Kripparian's) is hilarious. A "dead" skill that is just fucking obliterating bosses. Clear looks meh, but man that single target.

    Everyone who died to that boat was an AI. You can see [AI] after their name. And having that many AI means that dude was playing from the fucking moon or was running a co-op game against bots.

    New Amazon/Daybreak MMO

    This is like the weirdest team-up I've ever seen. Are these the best MMO companies we have? Amazon is shitting the bed with New World because they wanted money. DBG is pretty hilariously bad except for making $$$. DPG has actually been doing good stuff with EQ under the JChan helm, but I...

    Battlefield 2042

    The biggest problem in this game is balance. Weapon balance. Specialist balance. Vehicle balance. Weapon balance: Weapons with bloom is a no-no. Maybe bloom is fine after the first 50% of your mag of LMG is unloaded, but before then is ridiculous. PP-29 and DMRs are the only viable...

    Pretty much what you described. I think you'd actually aug life if they're not ridiculously overpriced and that should guarantee a hybrid life/es roll. Again, no idea what Aug prices are but I'm sure aug life is pretty expensive. After that you just slam away and your odds are probably...

    I just played some off stream and had my bullets with 0 reg. Just completely blasting people in the chest with the DMR at <15 feet and nothing happened. Then I reloaded, shot another 15 bullets into them center mass and got 1 hit marker before they just 2 shot me with their PP-29. I actually...

    Classic PoE. Thousands of hours and its basically the same for me. 96 is where I've "beaten the game" most leagues. A lot of people I play with get to 100 but they usually boost by buying pure breachstones and doing runs etc because actually mapping solo to 100 is rough if you die even once...

    Halo Infinite

    Feels off to me. The guns feel good with recoil/sounds, but the damage and TTK and everything is just... off. Can't explain it. I used to be a BIG Halo guy and I'd say for MP, Halo 3 was the greatest of the series, but this just feels so far from it. It feels like they just tried too hard to...

    Battlefield 2042

    Literally none of those changes mean anything to me. Unfortunate. It COULD be that there's some obvious bug fixes they just didn't announce that get fixed, but I'd still wager that's more a Day One patch type thing. I've dedicated my life in this game to destroying vehicles and some games I...

    Battlefield 2042

    Don't buy this early, and don't play if you don't have friends to Squad with. That's my summation of this game. It CAN be fun, but the fun spurts are surrounded on all sides by instantly dying to bad spawns, vehicles you have 0 chance of killing, and having the "wrong" gun. Nothing beats...

    Divergent Melee Splash btw is a really good way to go if you HAVE to use it with a skill like Flicker or melee Frenzy. The quality on it reduces the penalty from it to 0. Was much more useful before they added a bunch of additional strike options, but still good for those who might need it...

    Battlefield 2042

    So many of these new games could solve a lot of their problems ahead of launch with just long term or multi phase open/closed betas. Like, they're worried it won't be a good example of the game because it's still being worked on, but it seems they have very limited internal testing or there's...

    Well, the game is better than the beta, that's for sure. It's still buggy, but it's not unenjoyable which beta was by far. The biggest problem I have is the fucking 2002G error that doesn't let me or anyone I play with match-make to their default servers. They said "we're working on it!" and...

    I pre-ordered it at 60 dollars, played the beta, gave them feedback, then DIDN'T refund it. I still can't play until next week unless I pay another 30 dollars. Oh fucking kay dude.

    One of the stat trackers says 255 ex for Hateforge. I remember it mostly being 30-80ex, but that's before the lightning strike shit went out and people knew what they could do with it specifically. 300ex this early is pretty nutty, but also means it's potentially worth less total chaos because...

    In my experience with Spec Helix the +1 rotation really wasn't that big of a deal considering the size of the circle to begin with. Honestly it only mattered for very clustered open areas OR, weirdly, incredibly tight areas where you essentially got an extra bounce on beefy mobs. The weird...

    Dune (2020)

    I thought I'd read that got green-lit, but Villuenueve was upset about the whole initial launch of things who knows what he'll do. Artists and tantrums go hand in hand. Still would like to see it for sure.

    Dune (2020)

    Never read books, watched movie. Pretty good. Great visuals/soundtrack of course. Characters weren't bad, world building was nice. Would be hilarious if it never got Part 2 as the ultimate blue balls. I'd say 8/10.

    Harvest is the crux of the game and has been for many leagues now. For better or worse. It allows me to make the gear I need personally and it allows me to make money making items I think people may want. It also can feel super daunting when you don't "need" anything and you hit a Harvest in...

    You're right I forgot the ES is taken after the 50% reduction. So his weapon looks like this: Approximately, and you have to manually import it into PoB as PoB doesn't work with Energy Blade at all right now. That's why all the PoE Ninja stuff with Energy Blades looks like garbage...

    Steelskin grants immunity to bleed now as well. The guard tree under Duelist allows you to remove bleed/corrupting blood when you use a guard skill as well. The low-key best option I've found for stun or bleed is to get the 30% mod on abyssal jewels/implicit regular jewels and either get 2 and...
