So, just to be clear in Destiny 2 - if my Internet cuts out during a mission, I have to start it all over again? There goes 30 minutes...Plus, I guess you can't pause the game. You gotta do each mission on one sitting?

Still, is pretty fun and runs nicely on ps5. I feel like I actually have something resembling a gaming pc.

Destiny is an mmo, if that helps your understanding of a few questions you've had about some of the mechanics

That is one of the most bizarre dev communications I've ever read.


Ya, that about sums it up.

They're just trying to put a positive spin on it by hoping people see them as offering to refund it even though Sony and MS have already been refunding it all weekend because of how broken and buggy the game is on the Bone and PS4

And that just made me realize how much money Animal Crossing printed when it came out and became the official game of COVID quarantine, which makes me wonder how much did The Avengers suck that it tanked hard while everyone was stuck at home?

That game must really loving stink.

Avengers wasn't on the Switch :v:

How?

2 games released during quarantine.

1 is one of the best selling games ever despite a smaller platform, the other was a bloodbath for the developers who released across the entire gaming market.

How was I badly faithing that the dumb bad game sold like poo poo?

they were released at different times

they're different genres with a different target audience

one is an established franchise and the other was new

etc etc etc

A HORNY SWEARENGEN posted:

Why are people seriousposting and getting mad at me that I said "lol avengers"?

Is it like a sacred cow around here?

you have a weird threshold for "getting mad," I just said that it's a really dumb comparison

e: also I assume people like it and want it to succeed because there's the core of a really good game there if they can somehow find it

I think the Avengers game did poorly because it wasn't very fun at all

that's the worst part, the single player was a lot of fun but the multiplayer was just boring. I know people said it was fun when with a group of friends but that's probably because it's with a group of friends, not because of the game.


Gaius Marius posted:

They killed Deus Ex for that Games as a Service bullshit. It deserves to crash and burn.

Yeah the GaaS stuff on launch was awful. Prices for stuff was absurd. I guess at some point they cut all the prices permanently but I haven't launched the game since like a week after it came out so I have no idea how much. A friend talked me into buying it to play together and then I don't think he actually played it because he got sucked into ghost of tsushima.

I told him to gently caress off when he said I should get that to do the multiplayer with him.

Twice now I'm daydreaming about Returnal and thinking "oh poo poo that comes out in April, a month that is close by! I'm excited for April!" and then I remember that it comes out on the 31st because Housemarque like to gently caress WITH MY HEAD. Its ok, I literally took that weekend off because it's my birthday. I think I'm renting a cabin in the woods to take my dog hiking, but it's good to know if I decide not to bother I can just get completely shithoused to try and get to replicate the gameplay loop by repeatedly blacking out and waking up in different states of playing the game.

They're loving with your head so bad you even think April has 31 days.

If you're looking for a dualsense charging station might be worth checking your nearby Targets. Was looking a little bit ago and one about 15 miles from me showed "limited stock" (in store purchase only) when I checked online and I managed to get the second to last one when I got there :toot:
