The Division appears to take itself deadly seriously, only because the game's plot isn't really in on the joke. Much of the rest of the game is, though.

You can't have knights vs. samurai just because, there's gotta be some elaborate temporal rift explanation.
I don't remember a temporal rift explanation in the intro video or any of the story of For Honor. I remember a cataclysm affecting three wildly disparate cultures living within a football field of each other causing them to fight over some potable water conveniently exactly at the center of their triangle. And some bullshit with a "let's you and him fight" lady.

I'm playing on a PS5 but there is no PS5 version yet. It's a PS4 game running on a PS5. I have friends who are playing it on PS5 and have reported like 40 crashes total, so I don't think it really matters what platform you are on in regards to crashes. I have no idea what factors into me having way less than that.

I've got more time in than you, my friend, and have had exactly one crash total. T'be fair y'can safely ignore my experience if you've already decided to be mad about it. It's a lot easier to be impotent angry about a dumb game than anything else you're never gonna do anything about.

This thread is full of padding!

Like when known dinguses fall for obvious trolling. It's unnecessary and just adds bloat by confirming what we already know.

Speaking of padding, I'm always unhappy when a character creator doesn't let me play a big fat guy. Like, MLB The Show is supposed to be this great simulator but I can't even make a truly John Kruk-ian guy to lumber around the bases.

It's not. Play something not published by one of the really big names and you might be pleasantl--oh, right. I am quite certain you wouldn't know decent writing if it insulted you to your face.

Of course setting an impossibly high bar and then bitching when something doesn't manage to clear it is real familiar behavior.

It did, although I'm not sure I'd use that as the example for it. Gnome Rape Island is widely considered the worst, most tone-deaf and blisteringly stupid writing misstep in that entire game. Touching a nerve with a particularly vile idea like that isn't necessarily good writing. Anyone can do "shocking."

Point. Most of the rest of what's great requires a lot of context and characterization, not pithy one liners and shitposts.

I was genuinely surprised by how decent and heartfelt the writing in the Psycho-Krieg Borderlands 3 DLC was. Anyone who has actually dealt with depression and mental illness firsthand will recognize it.

"Tack."

It's tack, as in the practice of angling your sail so you can move a sailboat against the wind. You take a sort of serpentine path, hence the colloquialism of changing the direction of a conversation.

Tact, on the other hand, is something you clearly haven't figured out what it is, hahaha.

You also mentioned not getting out of the tutorial city so like where exactly should the depth of the combat have grown into?

The combat is also nothing special but it's an rpg not an action game so like as compared to for example skyrim its super involved and also the game has any flavor at all.
