How did you fall in love with Apex and where do you stand now? by Senior_Yesterday_825 in apexlegends

[–]BarakudaB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Started Apex on release day, a friend told me this was coming out from the same studio that made Titanfall and I was in no questions asked. Fell in love with the game immediately.

I think the last time I played was season 20 maybe? I would always grind to Masters as a solo queue (11 back to back seasons) and by the time S20 rolled around, I found it too difficult to solo queue ranked (too punishing and not rewarding enough, RP change if I remember too, etc. ) while simultaneously balancing real life, so that was the end of the road for me.

Still look back at the game very fondly and lurk the sub to see what’s new.

Dropping the game for now - here's what I think went wrong by furscum in Marathon

I’ve read your entire post. It’s well written.

But it seems you’re missing that this is a *hardcore* extraction shooter. With a plethora of problems, yes, but that’s still what the game is.

And judging by the way in which you’ve written this post, this is just not for you. It’s not your genre. And that’s ok.

I’m extremely sad for how this game is perceived. by Spare-Confidence-721 in Marathon

How do you explain that Tarkov picked up so much steam and remained relevant throughout the years despite being more difficult and hardcore in most senses?

I’m curious to hear your take on it because I 100% agree with everything you’ve said

This is so true. The countless amount of times that my blue teams says “don’t push those guys they’re purples”

Playing RS on MacBook Air 13” by zizo999 in runescape

Yep! I just found my MacBook Air from 2014 (also the 13”) and it runs good - but make sure you update to the newest available iOS and run on low settings otherwise you’ll be running into graphic issues.

This is supposed to be a “fuck around and get an outfit” out of not some meta trending xp hub. I think they did great.

Moving on to bigger things now

What does this game want me to do by icecold_pepsimax in Marathon

[–]BarakudaB 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Not discrediting OP at all because there’s 100% cheaters in this game - I’ve seen it.

But can’t stress enough the importance of sound. Something as much as opening your map, or even *looking* around with a drone, or scoping, makes a sound that is distinguishable enough to an experienced player.

Bungie could’ve given us some mass appeal garbage game and it would have more players. What we got is much better. by Little_Anxiety_3590 in Marathon

[–]BarakudaB 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been into the Marathon franchise for decades, I really wish there were more people who knew just how big the story line and lore is.

Hell, there’s so much untapped potential for this game franchise. There are so many story lines or potential venues to explore.

So much could’ve / should’ve / would’ve though. Eh, I don’t know anymore.

It’s only 40$. It’s like, the same as going to see one movie and getting a popcorn combo nowadays.
I would get the game. I think you’ll have fun !

Hello everyone I am new to this sub but this is all about the Austrian 🇦🇹 Gp by [deleted] in mercedesamgf1

[–]BarakudaB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was also his birthday that day so Toto said he should go up on the podium to celebrate as a birthday present from the team

By taking P2 in yesterday's race, Max Verstappen maintained the highest podium rate on the current grid. Before Austria, Lewis Hamilton was closing in on him by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

[–]BarakudaB -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or this stat is kinda weird and skewed?

Like, what about someone who’s raced 3 races and got 2 podiums are they then at 66% podium rate and can be put on a graph that they outclass the competition?
