@nutter: Especially in a year where the comics industry faced massive consumer backlash due to exactly this kind of politicization. All it does is throw this movie out in front of that angry bus that's been building up momentum all year.
It's just interesting to see them make changes that intentionally make the grind worse. Every crafting game has some level of grind but generally over time as content gets added the grind is made easier to accommodate for the additional stuff that comes out. Maybe they just realized that at this point it's just too easy to make everything that they had to stretch the seemingly sparse content out even further.
Bethesda's reputation already took a pretty hard hit with the Fallout fans with Fallout 4 and they're just absolutely tanking it even further by doing everything in their power to make it worse.
The way Dan worded it doesn't help. He's gone from loving it, playing what - 60 hours or more? Only to say that he "may HATE" the game. I dunno if that's just me, but I don't suddenly hate a game after playing 60 hours or more of it. Burn out maybe, have a slight dislike, but hate is a strong word. Just sounds like he was influenced by someone or something else.
Maybe they'll explain better in the GOTY deliberations.
That is what upsets me a bit, because we all know Dan likes to play things up some times and that appears to be at least somewhat of a factor here. I don't get how a sane person can have RDR1 be their game of the generation. Then play RDR2 and gush over it for a few weeks, to all of a sudden taking the stance that they Hate the game. I can understand getting tired of playing a very long and slowly paced game and have that leave a bad taste in your mouth at the end. But the turn he has taken is almost comical. It just makes me feel like at some point he decided okay maybe this game is only good instead of great so fuck it I am going to play the heel here and take a dramatic turn and it will be fun to piss off people on the internet.
Well I think a factor here is Dan saying that he went into the game wanting desperately to love it as much as the first one. Even so he said that a lot of the things that he now says he hates about the game bothered him from the beginning but he thought he could "get over them."
I guess for me this doesn't seem all that much of a heelturn since I have plenty of games that I've sunk hundreds of hours into that I now absolutely despise. It's just death by a thousand cuts extended by going in with extremely high expectations.
This is just a reliving of all the Witcher 3 drama from a couple of years back. One of my absolute favorite games of all time and it was a huge bummer to see most people on staff seeming to not give it a fair shake.
Vehicles having limited ammo is kinda weird to get used to but not unexpected after so many matches in BF1 had a guy go 75/0 just by sitting in a light tank on the edge of the map.
And on the reviving point: everyone can revive their own squadmates but medics can revive anyone on the team.
@musclerider: This keyboard is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. What do you think of the Romer-G switches? Have you used any other type of switch that you can compare them to?
I came to Romer-Gs from Cherry MX browns (and blues before that) and I think they're pretty similar in feel. I've had some people tell me they feel kind of weird because you don't have to press them as far down for them to actuate so they might not be great if you're bottoming them out all the time. I use a G810 at home which has the same switches and I bought this keyboard for work specifically because I liked them so much.
I also work in an open office settings and I've never heard anyone complain about any noise coming from that thing.
Playing as the only tank on the team with no healers and you ask someone to heal? "Lol it's just casual calm the fuck down"
Go to competitive but don't want to play as one of the 8 "meta" characters for this month? "Way to throw the game you dumb fuck"
Siege has its awful A-holes but I find Overwatch so much more frustrating because two people on the team choosing to throw the match will actually make the match unwinnable most of the time whereas in Siege you can still sort of manage if the rest of the team is good enough.
