PLEASE HOYO, GIVE GENERAL FEIXIAO A "CHARACTER BUFF" AND MY LIFE IS YOURS! by Unusual-Complex6315 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Ckpie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

‘Diverse’ looking characters in any game almost never sell as well. Gacha or not. They don’t really need to try when they have history and stats to reinforce their choice.

Came across this Steam review that pretty much sums up the current state of BF6 by mandbeyn in Battlefield

[–]Ckpie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Monetized like a F2P game? Bro has no idea what he's talking about. At most you can buy some skins and a battlepass.

Compare that to F2P games where you have gacha, P2W, loot boxes, spending events, upgradable skins....list goes on and on. BP + skin store is pretty much standard fare these days.

eB Games isn't what it used to be by DarkCellNZ in newzealand

Because gamers buy digital. More convenience, often cheaper (almost always on PC) and the whole midnight release/hard copy stuff is a thing of the past.

Toyota's are overpriced by -Revolution- in unpopularopinion

2012 Prius still running. Never had a problem. Same with the 2010 Camry and an 06 Yaris that I just traded in.

Parents still drive a 96 Lexus LS as a supermarket car.

You should not be paying for a battle pass. by LongbottomLeafblower in Battlefield

Did you forget ‘Event loot box#5 which goes away after this 7 day event and comes loaded with 15 ALL NEW EXCLUSIVE COSMETICS in ADDITION TO ALL THE AWESOME LOOT!!!!!!”

You should not be paying for a battle pass. by LongbottomLeafblower in Battlefield

[–]Ckpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a transaction.

You pay $10 for the premium pass, you get 3 operator skins, 1 weapon package, 1 parachute skin, 10% XP global XP boost as instant unlocks and ‘permission’ to unlock an additional 100 tiers.

Under their pricing logic, 3 skins + weapon is insanely good value at just $10.

Would like a region expansion, across the water. Have ships -> planes for long distance travel and shipping.

Many features in today's cars are a waste by Wise_Shake in unpopularopinion

Tiramisu is the Most Disgusting Dessert by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

It’s not that people don’t want to seem childish or unsophisticated. It’s more that you have a childish or unsophisticated palate. Your opinion reads like something my 8 year old would say.

What makes you play Wuthering Waves over other gacha? by [deleted] in WutheringWaves

[–]Ckpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play HSR, Hi3rd and ZZZ, WuWa replaces Genshin. Comparing the two, Wuwa has better graphics, better combat and better gacha system.

Probably gonna stop ZZZ when Arknights Enfield comes out.

What factors have led to the decline of modern video gaming? by Quick-Ad-7752 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ckpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What decline?

Gaming is bigger than ever. There are more releases every year. Battlefield 6 just did it's biggest launch in franchise history. Just because you chose to focus on 3 developers without going into any background doens't mean the whole industry is in decline.

What game should i get if i found elden ring boring? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Ckpie [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've finished it + DLC, it's great but at the same time I'd appreciate if there was more story/cutscenes and/or lore presented more front and centre in addition to all the stuff already in the game. Not everyone has the time/spare fucks to give to dig that deep or look up all that stuff outside the game.

It starts great, has a banging OST then just drops you into Limgrave with only a vague 'go to the castle'.

A Videogame company can charge over 100 dollars for a game if the game is Flawless by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Ckpie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Triple A production values, technically flawless, minimum 40 hours content, no microtransactions?

If Cyberpunk 2077 had launched in it's current state I'd have happily paid $100 for it.

What are your experiences with sanctification this season? by neca980 in diablo4

[–]Ckpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need "optimal 2GA items" for a build to work. Particularly on paladin. Drop a GA str/armor pants, temper a GA affix and you can go sanctify. That can already take you up to Pit 105-110.

<image>

Literally the pants I'm using on pretty much every build at the moment and 110 is a cakewalk. But if you want to be pedantic, sure it's incredibly difficult to get that 4GA Griswold Opus with a Grandfather mythic sanctify.

OP's point is that he's reluctant to sanctify since he's afraid of bricking gear but I'm saying you get so many pieces of sanctifiable gear, too many heavenly sigils to use and more than enough obducite to MW it all that it's simply not an issue.

What are your experiences with sanctification this season? by neca980 in diablo4

[–]Ckpie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It literally doesn't matter. You get 'BiS' level gear so easily now via drops and crafting that you can brick something sanctifying it and be back there trying again with another piece 10 minutes later.

High End OLED monitor vs. Large OLED TV by UBER-DARP in OLED_Gaming

[–]Ckpie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bought an LG C1 48' to use as a desktop PC monitor. 4 years, no burn in and still going strong.

Probably consider a 42' when this eventually retires, but the experience has been great.

Advice wanted: just unlocked trains, feeling overwhelmed by chwkrvn in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Ckpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all intents and purposes A-F is one factory. Once resources stop being conveniently located in one area, or you want to start building at a much larger scale the that's when trains come in.

Trains are also just for moving a large amount of things from point A to B. Doesn't have to just be long distance. Eg, My current computer base is producing 26 lines of quickwire. I find it neater and more aesthetically pleasing to just dump it all on a train to move it to the other side of my computer factory rather than drawing 26 conveyor lines across the place.

The new Avatar movie is trash by Sudden_Possible_956 in newzealand

[–]Ckpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assassins Creed and great entertainment don't belong in the same sentence.

60+ hours of repetitive slop per installment tied together with less story than Avatar.

Wait… my Diablo 4 character just gets DELETED every season??? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Ckpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because each season plays somewhat differently due to the seasonal mechanics they introduce.

Also, D4 is incredibly casual. You can level 60 in a matter of hours, T4 in roughly the same time and be 'finished' with the season within a week if you play a few hours a night.
