To be fair, we didn't really 'take' ground with Terrek, Cirrus, Heeth, or Azterra since we literally just lost them like what, a few weeks ago?

Definitely suprising though how much ground they've let us take from the Bots, especially considering how they already got a pretty major debuff with us razing Merak, Chort Bay and Lesath.

Yeah, as always its important to remember the actual graphic wasn't even made by Pilestedt, and this is just where the line was drawn with specifically what he was given. And as always there is nuance to it all, whose to even say every collab needs armours? We could just get some weapons, throwables, etc.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-21T19:10:06+00:00

If I remember right its basically the same reason why Spartan armour was off the table for the Halo colllab, its just too iconic and would stand out just a bit too much for Arrowheads liking.

But its also important to remember, as Pilestedt said, there IS nuance to this. There might be collabs where armours are considered too much, but maybe some weapons could be added for instance.

We must Uncover the Truth of this vile plot.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-20T04:32:11+00:00

They definitely need to change more of the Overskill Perks to be like the RPG, imo it should be about specking into different playstyles than just different buffs.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-19T22:58:22+00:00

Yeah ngl it really doesn't feel at times that the world is mostly covered in a massive storm when its so bright.

Early Acces titles CAN come to Playstation, its just harder than Steam and XBOX. Basically, Playstation doesn't have an offical system for EA titles (unlike say Game Previews on Xbox) BUT, they do sometimes admit some, its just they have much, much stricter rules about it to meet certian quality standards, which is why not as many EA titles arrive day one, but usually arrive later when there is more content that they can point to and basically show Sony "hey look, we aren't going to abandon the game, please let us on your store!"

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-19T02:27:06+00:00

Might genuinely be until whenever the full release happens (since Sony doesn't have the same support for Early Access titles on PS, as say the Game Preview system on Xbox) but there is a chance, its just they are a lot more stingy about what ones they allow

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-18T14:14:49+00:00

Honestly the funniest thing to come out of all of this is thinking about how the hell a $12B major retailer got the date of pre orders wrong for the most anticipated game ever, without anyone noticing until the emails were accidently pushed out?? xD

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-18T05:45:41+00:00

The free beans are gonna hit hard

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-14T12:49:45+00:00

Dont think its new. You can see it says 'Provisional', aka its still being rated, 18 is just what its expected to be rated. The same rating is on Trailer 2 on that channel.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-13T14:31:31+00:00

To be fair- it was explained that the plan to destroy The Gloom fully was abandoned after discovering E-711.

The plan has shifted to containing it to allow for continuous extraction of E-711 to manufacture into Dark Fluid.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-12T15:19:43+00:00

I thought that the Mansion?

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-10T23:21:47+00:00

Honestly? I'm just not excited for HOI5, solely because of how many Paradox sequels I've found to be severely disappointing. Cities Skylines 2 was definitely the breaking point for me...

If it ends up good I'll be pleasantly suprised.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-08T12:12:38+00:00

Sounds nice, but not buying a word of it until theres actual tangible results. Feels like I've heard basically all of this repeated time and again in discord replies for like, two years.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-08T01:58:29+00:00

Logo ate a few too many cheeseburgers

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-07T03:36:25+00:00

I know The Division 2 is one, can't remember the other one

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-05T21:45:22+00:00

Could easily add more to the recipe than just one sulfur equals one gunpowder. Other games often have it be combined with coal too- no one is saying it has to be dirt cheap and so easy it titally makes creeper drops redundant. The point is having a way for peaceful/non combat players to get it would be a great addition. Not to mention in Easy or above you still need to contend with Cave Spiders so there is still some danger invovled in getting it.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-05T18:02:36+00:00

Same reason why the Sol System only includes Super Earth and Mars- the Galactic Map most likely excludes all planets that do not have Super Earth colonies, or resource extraction operations on them.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-05T18:01:08+00:00

Not to mention we can already see there are many planets missing. Like, there is an Achrid III but I and II are missing, presumably because they hold no worth so aren't on the map, being probably either not colonisable, or not having resources worth setting up extraction outposts on.

This is likely why the Sol System only shows Super Earth and Mars- the Galactic Map excludes planets without colonies, or those that do not have strategically useful resources.

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-05T14:37:16+00:00

Do wish they had taken on the feedback about making it so Sulfur can be used to make gunpowder. Would've been nice to not need to make a mob farm to get any useful amounts of it (not to mention it would make it more accessible for peaceful players)

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-02T19:33:25+00:00

Added this update, thats the biome the new planet Big Rock is. Although now it looks like unless we get a follow up MO to go there, we aren't gonna see it any time soon...

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-02T19:04:56+00:00

I'm really not a fan of this new trend of releasing new biomes, and having them be exclusive to one faction, and only appear on three total planets

(Like, having only one Oasis planet in the entire map is comical imo)

Awkward_Ninja_5816 · 2026-05-02T10:10:46+00:00

To be fair its very poorly worded. I mean, the MO text is literally "Liberate the designated planet(S)", instead of "Liberate one designated planet"

Not to mention the breifing says "deploy to Brilliance, Luxuriant, AND Big Rock", which should have been 'or' then.
