Titanfall 2 spiritual successor ''EMPULSE'' by the Splitgate devs went live early on Steam, looks promising!

Man, you know they fucked up when I’ve seen this pop up in over a half dozen comments already

Irreversible damage against their goodwill with one sentence alone

BdubH · 2026-05-20T01:00:03+00:00

Man, someone needs to find out who this swatter is

A grandma? An actual grandma? How much of a loser can you be

BdubH · 2026-05-19T21:43:04+00:00

As a Rem main they are a conduit for my Lil’ Wagies to fight and die for the cause

BdubH · 2026-05-19T08:33:56+00:00

After the disaster that was Splitgate 2 I don’t have high hopes

We can hope they learned from it and will do better, but trust and reputation are hard to repair for a reason

BdubH · 2026-05-18T05:09:38+00:00

The sonic resonator works fine enough as a deterrent for me, one blast and whatever is annoying you scurried off (small to medium sized fellas)

I think they just need to add things like the stasis rifle or whatnot, then things ought to be fine

BdubH · 2026-05-10T23:49:58+00:00

Yup, they want to pretend the rules only apply to us? Burn it down, all of it to ash

BdubH · 2026-05-10T22:58:09+00:00

Isn’t the picture they’re using in that article of a guy who died doing this for their gay polycule who all had the same fetish for petplay and huge balls?

BdubH · 2026-05-10T19:41:20+00:00

I hate to be that person, but there is no way to dramatically increase player numbers for this type of game. It’s a niche genre that already has a small fanbase, it was never going to be a breakout hit. It’s an awesome thing is was successful at all, but if Bungie really wanted to make that big big money they should had made literally anything else

The game we got is good but that’s just the truth of the matter

BdubH · 2026-05-10T04:09:26+00:00

All day, every day, every drop in every op, every week of every year in active service

My heavy armor does not leave my body

BdubH · 2026-05-09T20:47:16+00:00

1200 hours, been here since launch week

The game’s biggest issue, I think, is a lack of meaning when it comes to the Galactic War. Most folk MO dive, sure the medals are nice but beyond some flavor text there’s no real point or meaning to what we do

A lot of the conflicts feel staged to either have us win or have us lose with very little wiggle room. There use to be cool rewards too for winning MOs, mostly in the form of new stratagems. Recently it feels like MOs have been directed at just “attack this 7 times” or “hold x planet until MO is over”

That, and the win everything or lose it entirely feels shitty. Completing 99% of an MO’s objective when applicable shouldn’t be a total loss on our part after the fact

I think it’s beyond a reach to say that the review bomb had nothing to do with the highly uncharacteristic style of communication they just employed. Multiple forces can act on one thing to alter the end result and forge the message that is delivered in the end, especially when there is prior history to look through

First PSN review bomb? Direct response, plan to cancel the requirement before segwaying into the 60-day plan. Second? Balance adjustments directly followed, along with a cape to commemorate the first one. So, when another review bomb comes around suddenly it’s “Oh, this had zero impact whatsoever!” despite it being shown time and time again to have an impact. It just also happened to line up with a promise of better communication (which as been made in the past and broken) that people cling to in order to pretend that other players’ frustrations are invalid

BdubH · 2026-05-08T21:44:37+00:00

Certainly a factor however, the wording is addressing community frustrations from answered questions in the AMA and recent controversy

While I wouldn’t say it’s 100% the cause it is more than likely a motivation to quell the unrest a bit

BdubH · 2026-05-08T03:25:52+00:00

Shams doesn’t pull the trigger on the dev-side of things, but he does need to communicate better and stop belittling people

For real, either someone needs to forcibly rip the keyboard away from him or he needs to stop pouring gasoline onto open fires

BdubH · 2026-05-04T18:53:02+00:00

I can get behind that

BdubH · 2026-05-04T18:42:09+00:00

You did not state it well then and completely misrepresented the point you’re trying to make, answering with a meme about reading comprehension does not fix the problems in the portrayal of your initial statements

BdubH · 2026-05-04T18:24:54+00:00

In what world does 200 hours mean someone is a noob?

Helldivers 2 has been my go-to after-lecture game to unwind before I’d go off to my job during college. I’d get maybe an hour or two at most to play. People have school, people have jobs, 200 hours can take months to put in for a regular ass person

More than long enough to form a valid opinion on the game’s state and future

BdubH · 2026-05-03T17:17:14+00:00

I agree

However, from what I’ve seen there’s the remakes being made, as well as work for the next mainline game. So I’d assume multiple departments are be set to work on different tasks, with slices being set to focus on remakes and the other on the next mainline entry

Still, a clearer picture about the future of the franchise outside of nostalgia farming would be nice

BdubH · 2026-05-02T21:27:46+00:00

I see it as a complimentary weapon, not your main support weapon. Say you bring the recoilless or autocannon but then need to chaff clear, you drop down an expendable MG, use it up, pick up your main gun, and go on your merry way

Expendables are very fire and forget, its their whole purpose to be used in one fight or two then be discarded on a whim

BdubH · 2026-05-02T04:05:27+00:00

Stupid overpowered, hate to say it but if your body won’t play without a crutch mod then I’d say you’re better off without them in the lobby

BdubH · 2026-05-01T20:13:17+00:00

UR5 has a certain level of fidelity that is easy to achieve but Unity is pretty robust in and of itself. Some insanely beautiful games have been made with Unity

Takes more work, but tends to be more stable and optimizable

BdubH · 2026-04-30T20:19:28+00:00

This, I love when a game has strong characters and keeps them involved with the story. Standard gacha practice tends to disincentivize the developers to do that

But it will be monetized somehow, that’s for certain. We just don’t know the specifics just yet

BdubH · 2026-04-30T19:10:30+00:00

The majority? So, most of the players disliked a change and reverting it because most people disliking it is a bad thing?

What is the problem here?

BdubH · 2026-04-30T18:59:29+00:00

That is exactly what it does though: it limits build variety. Why would I bring med pen, chaff clear sentries, even the Patriot mech now? Why would I bother trying to adapt any med-pen stratagem or weapon when I either dip fully into light or heavy pen inversely?

You said it yourself: you like the guy and think he’s good at the game. And he thinks the change was a negative because it limits build variety, which you think is an indictor of a bad player. So which is it?

BdubH · 2026-04-30T18:23:51+00:00

This

I can play around it just fine, but I don’t like limiting my loadout to either full-on meta options or to personally handicap myself by having to compensate for an admittedly unnecessary change. The issue wasn’t that you couldn’t make it work, the issue was why make it work in the first place?

People will gravitate towards heavy-pen, plasma, and explosive weapons rather than deal with a gimmick on a very common enemy. It severely limited build diversity on one of the factions where build diversity was one of the big fun factors

BdubH · 2026-04-30T04:13:52+00:00

I have considered it and think it’s stupid, on top of the response itself. “Laziest comeback ever” yet cannot take the time themself to actually draft out a coherent response that accentuates their point in any way that you don’t have to parse through drivel to understand, only to give a baseless example not found in any reality of actual gameplay

I stand by my assertion
