Subjugation

I was wondering that myself. This is some top tier necro. I also agree with your second statement with Mass Effect coming to mind as an example. That game tightened up so much in its second iteration.

I'm reserving judgment until it can be more informed, but for now I feel like the game has potential to be pretty cool. I'll wait and see. I think the real question is will it launch with a good amount of content and avoid the glaring problem Destiny 2 had with that?

I've also seen (heard?) this happen on the GB Infinite stream on Twitch for what it's worth.

Good on you dude. Getting a degree is a lot of work so congratulations on soldiering through.

FWIW I would say that I enjoyed the series. I wouldn't call it top tier certainly, not on the level of GoT or Westworld, but I liked it enough to finish it. It was also nice to see a bunch of actors and actresses that I wasn't familiar with. It gets old seeing the same faces time after time after time. I'm interested to see where they will take a second season.

Play it all the time with bros. It's a good time.

I have zero intention of buying the game, but that was the case long before the loot box scenario was known. I didn't like the gameplay and shallow feeling that I experienced during the beta for the first Battlefront and from what I saw this looked no different so I remained out.

I noticed this as well in the Bombcast quoted above. Good to know it isn't just me.

Amen

The internet is lighting up with stories like this. It's really pretty baffling. Like people have been saying, the current speculation is that having programs that run overlays can trigger their (arguably garbage) anti-cheat and ban you. Has this been confirmed? No, but we don't really have a way to do that for sure. So, if you use incredibly common programs that pc gamers use like Discord or Mumble or EVGA Precision XOC etc. don't allow them to run overlays.

We will have to wait and see how Bungie responds to this because if it isn't handled well then this is going to be an explosive PR disaster. I mean, it already is but depending on how they try to fix things (or not) they could make it even worse.

Edit: Also, @zurv I'm sure you already know this but in the off chance that you don't, just know that issuing a chargeback very likely puts the account at risk for being locked. I don't know if it would extend to Blizzard games as well but it's certainly something to consider.
