StashAugustine posted:Yeah and although I disagreed with the reasoning it actually made sense; I was wondering if you had a reasonable defense of Star Citizen as well tbh I really have no interest in Star Citizen, it's mainly a joke since there's already like a billion people making "haha star citizen is a scam" posts.. I legitimately do like the ending of Mass Effect 3 though.

But it probably won't do that because people are dumb as poo poo.

They'll put flying back in once the Jungles of Tanaan aren't just placeholder assets, I bet. All the expansions make you wait to re-unlock flight, this one just happens to be rushed out the door and unfinished so they had to just forbid it until they could get their poo poo together.

I hated flying when I played, because it was on pre-set paths that took you on absurdly long travel paths so you could enjoy the scenery of a warped plane with a texture wrapped on it. Still, it beat the alternative of like walking my dumbass all the way there. Flying would have made things much simpler and convenient and fun. Is flying just gone from the expansion or entirely removed?

Nah they aren't allowing flying mounts in the newest content for a variety of reasons that aren't worth discussing here. Flight masters are still a thing.

I also can't wait for all the Star Citizen ships to gently caress up on launch and self destruct or for some guy piloting one to disconnect and his vacant ship to smash into something causing a catastrophe. I mean they're charging real money for insurence for digital items and their replacement methods probably won't be up and working. I mean those are very detailed models and everyone has a huge loving polycount for Computer E-Peen which means nothing will be optimized. MMO launches are like the first day of Disneyland's Opening EVERY TIME.

Star Citizen's launch will be the singularity. e: guarantee you one of the first videos after launch will be some guy who bought a $10,000 spaceship destroying it forever. The video will be exponentially more contentious and talked about than the guy who micowaved a 3DS

As in the Vanilla Diablo 3 with only the campaign to play, had the real money auction house, and every time a player found an easy way to get a legendary they destroyed the area from being able to be farmed within hours. He wanted a bare minimum of 35 hours on average to farm just to get a single legendary item. Oh and also everything 1 or 2 shot you especially in act 2. His whole mentality is that you have to work to have fun while playing a videogame. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 02:50 on May 27, 2015 |

turning videogames into work is how you manufacture "achievement" and "success" some games are like they're designed for people who hate their 9-5 office job to come home and not enjoy their leisure time back to the skinner box mines... gotta hit that next milestone and watch those numbers go up

there are these poison flying insects in act 2 that shoot these little * things at you and in the original game they just made you die pretty much immediately.

so i'm digging the poo poo out of AssCreed4 (ps4 version, natch) the thing is, i'm past the intro stages of the game, i mean i have like 20% completion and i've barely started doing any collecting or anything, and i legitimately have no clue if the dude i'm playing as is a Templar or an Assassin or if that story is even going on in this game, despite the fact that he apparently can do the super secret society assassin contracts? i don't know, who cares, naval battles rule and pirates are awesome and the game is gorgeous. but at the same time i know if i keep playing eventially it will end and i know there isn't another game in the series that is anything like it at all, and the others are all the same old Brotherhood formula also is anyone really supposed to believe James Kidd is a man or is it a kind of "nudge nudge wink wink" kind of deal, because either way doesn't strike me as very historically accurate

It's really funny, now that the vanilla content isn't there anymore, BC is by far the most horrendous part of the game. You go from really fun and cleverly designed quest chains with really convenient fast travel to being dumped into a hideous mess of red polygons. I can understand how some people think flight takes some of the "exploration" out of the game since it lets you cover a bunch of ground immediately, but the game's designed so that you can't fly until you've already explored a lot of it anyway. Taking it out just makes no sense to me. I played too much wow and now I have opinions about its current direction even though I'll never play it again.
