Never drive a car when you're a fish
When my first one came I stationed friends (roommates) at my front door while I took a shower. They had a great time panicking me when I came back downstairs and fedex had been and gone.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I'd adore FF7R if they'd optimize materia shuffling and eliminate all the button pressing, hallway shuffling, pacing-murdering gameplay

How’s how to improve, fix, and make FF7R an even better game:

PS5 set to be delivered today from that Best Buy drop on the 22nd. I'm afraid to take a nap and lose it to porch pirates.

I literally just woke up from a small nap and dreamed I got mine earlier but someone had pulled the system out of the box.

Woke up just now to an email saying it’s ready to be picked up a day early.

I got a ps5 on the Walmart AND best buy drops last week or whatever and am just selling them at cost to friends because someone sold me mine at cost and of course I then immediately was able to get some on restocks....

Just saying it's possible y'all keep trying

Yeah I’ve been doing this for a lot of tech. My two other buddies both have young kids that are learning from home so they can’t just drop what they’re doing when discord pops.

After Outer Worlds and Tyranny I'm convinced New Vegas was a fluke.

nah i dont think that's true. what i DO think is that this was the perfect set of circumstances for them to make their best possible game. they still had a lot of the people who worked at interplay, or at least, significantly more than they have now, plus the game systems had already been kind of beta tested in fallout 3, so they got to see what worked and what didnt about making fallout a first person rpg. plus they very clearly understood the IP significantly better than bethesda did, and got to showcase how they better understood the game and its systems while iterating on the first ever 3d fallout game.

if they had to come up with the game engine from scratch they may very well have done a better job, or simply just the same, but they didn't have to spend time on that and they had a built in for comparison version of how it could be done worse.

the outer wilds is a brand new IP which is way more work, the audience is less invested, and mechanically all of the games faults were more glaring because it's not improving on anything. it's just a new thing. plus the amount of turnover they must have had over the decade between or whatever i am sure is huge.

basically i think new vegas was a legit endeavor but i think the circumstances that created it are never going to be replicated. they could probably have made something off of fallout 4 had it happened by now, but it's been so long since then. i do think if they were the lead for fallout 5 it will probably come out of the oven better, and maybe they could make something that feels more classic and groundbreaking just by introducing rpg elements again. i dunno, i'm tired and got off track. anyway i guess you could say new vegas was a fluke but mostly just because of the circumstances that allowed its creation and not actually that obsidian was never that good to begin with. bloodlines was really good too! just very broken for a lot of reasons out of their control (other than that they agreed to be put into that position)

Leave it up and see what happens. That's what it said for me (on release day) and then it at some point just suddenly jumped to 22 min then 9 and then I was in. :shrug:

Tim Rogers bought one off Amazon a day before launch like it was nothing and then I broke into his home and stole it

Got to say I love the dual sense but I and currently battling it a little. The buttons feel spongy and the triggers are deeper than before or something. I don't notice it in demon's souls, but in spidey it's very apparent. Hopefully I'll just get used to it.

I wish I could just find a place to pre-order one.
Here’s $500 Best Buy. What’s that? I’ll have it sometime before may? Great.

It would be way better than these loving lotteries.

I was 100% in the camp of "I'm just gonna get one when I get one. I'll probably be able to snag one off Amazon or target sometime around launch even if I get one a week late. Don't want to deal with this day 1 preorder mayhem"

But then a goon I was playing games with told me they were up on Amazon later that day, and I figured why not. I had no idea what a hassle he was saving me at the time, and I feel really lucky I got to wake up with a PS5 on my doorstep on launch day.

The day preorders were announced was weirdly the easiest day to get one. One of the guys in our group got 4 of them (which he sold to other goons at cost)
