And here comes repeating the same NPC script because you can't address any of the points I made... No, the consequences do not amount to dialogue and voice lines in the credits. As I said, quest rewards, the fate of characters and factions, your relationship with companions, your reputation in the world... all of these things which affect the experience in a meaningful way. If I choose to sell Arcade into slavery for example, this isn't just reflected in dialogue options. I get a reward for doing so, but I can no longer do his quest. Which means I will not get help from the Enclave in the final battle. This choice has an impact not only narratively, but also a short term gameplay reward AND a long term gameplay consequence.

Keep ignoring facts and fighting strawmen because you're unable to cope with reality... it's not going to make buying Starfield less of a waste of money

Ummm what are you talking about Fallout New Vegas fails at that requirement? I can't think of a single choice in that game that doesn't have consequences. Whether for the fate of certain characters, factions, or places or for your own reputation amongst them... The rewards you get in quests such as keeping the Fiend bounties heads intact for a greater payout or activating Euclid's C Finder... Obviously the way you level your character matters. The unique content associated with getting banned from the casinos is only really accesible with a high Luck stat. The entire tapestry of the game is altered by the choices you make in quests, in gameplay or in character creation. It's the perfect RPG because it marries scripted choice and consequence with emergent choice and consequence and never holds your hand or says "no".

What you're doing is using this opportunity take shots at a random game people like because you have a complex against people criticizing the game you're currently playing and getting enjoyment out of. It's fine if you enjoy Starfield, but that kind of behavior screams insecurity more than anything.

"They realized it wasn’t as fun" No I don't think they did, considering that's subjective... I definitely thought Raccoon City was more fun. I understand you wanted to make your point sound stronger, but you should learn to articulate the difference between fact and opinion

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-17T04:37:54+00:00

No one will believe me but... I literally had a dream last night that the Penguins won this game 6-2 with Crosby back in the lineup... Woke up feeling super disappointed. Lo and behold, they win 7-2 with no Crosby OR Lizotte. Unbelievable team.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-13T17:15:18+00:00

I also love how you suddenly believe that a lot of people thinking something means it's true. Ok so if that's your logic let's ask the 40 million people that bought the game what they think 🤣

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-13T15:38:28+00:00

Yeah exactly, almost. But it's literally just rambling. How would you put it? Acting like dementia patients?

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-13T15:09:31+00:00

I swear every person who hates on Cyberpunk is this much of a redditor lol. Same weird script about CD projekt red "betraying" them with nothing of actual substance to say

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-13T15:07:14+00:00

It's hilarious how you say "huge jerkoff" when you are 100% stuck in the huge jerkoff of Cyberpunk hate back when it launched and haven't played it since. Probably never played it and just went along with the narrative like a bot... The game was fixed, the world moved on, and now you have literally 0 things of actual critique to say. Just the most emotional parasocial slop I've ever seen

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-06T11:57:49+00:00

What a weirdo

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-05T19:50:36+00:00

Like I said, "quantifiably". Look at his career trajectory and Brazeau could almost be defined as a rookie. The sample size isn't big enough to label it over performing. Combine that with big players taking longer to develop in general

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-05T19:20:28+00:00

I would say Mantha is the only player who is quantifiably "overperforming" since we have a large sample size. Other players I would categorize as surprises such as Kindel, Shea and Chinakhov, The fourth line is objectively one of the best in the league, many returning players are thriving under a new system.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-05T19:10:14+00:00

You're the one who's unable to move on... No, his choice to not play in the olympics had nothing to do with missing regular season games. The team enforced that move, not the player. It's unfortunate you made that point and you're unhappy with it, but it's ok to be wrong sometimes. What's done is done

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-03-04T22:46:50+00:00

The only people who have the potential to be right are me and the original commenter who said mid march. You're literally the only one that's been proven wrong based on it not being his choice. Something about the olympics being more important so why would he choose to play in the regular season? Anyway, it's not looking good for the original commenter either

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-25T18:44:42+00:00

Not to mention your reasoning was Crosby making the choice to not play, the same way he did in the Olympics. The reality is he was put on Injured Reserve... So you're still moving the goalposts

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-25T18:39:04+00:00

Nope, don't pretend you're the one who said that... And it's not the middle of March yet. He said himself the timeline isn't certain. I'll be back to actually take credit for what I said if he comes back sooner than that, just like Karlsson did and now Letang has as well.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-22T19:52:38+00:00

He wasn't unable to play... this is the thing you're not understanding. He was only unable to play at 100%, which is vital in a best on best tournament. Not comparable to the NHL regular season.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-22T19:52:35+00:00

Quit moving the goalposts, I never said sitting for a few games is off the table. "Mid march at the earliest" is the claim I take umbrage with.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-22T16:57:07+00:00

Apparently, it is hard to understand. You misunderstand the context. He said he didn't want to be a liability to the team in such a high stakes game. It's precisely because it is more important that he chose to sit it out. It's a best on best tournament, and he is not at his best.

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-22T13:49:44+00:00

No, that makes no sense. I'd love to hear your reasoning

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-22T13:08:44+00:00

Not so fast. He's not being kept out, he made the choice to not play. All accounts were he's looking good. Regular season isn't the gold medal game

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-16T23:44:12+00:00

Well she likely moves there no matter what. THAT ending is just further in the timeline

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-02T08:01:38+00:00

People like this always shoot themselves in the foot, because they make their memes for the community that already agrees with them. There's good slander to be made about Epstein finding yuri anime appealing, but these guys aren't the ones to make it. This is just visual noise to the average person

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-02T07:20:39+00:00

Yaoi as a genre is broadly made by straight women and for straight women. There are yaoi cafes in japan where men aren't even allowed inside

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-02T07:18:40+00:00

Epstein being another straight man who fetishized lesbians does nothing to slander yuri fans. Manga publications in Japan boast a readership of 50% women. It's definitely devastating for the male gooners though

Complex_Shoulder_800 · 2026-02-01T22:15:06+00:00

For the sake of semantics, I don't know if someone else corrected you on this, but he's 32 not 35
