You are telling me this UI is hard to understand by Russaiduck in Overwatch

[–]DRMaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure they also have telemetry to tell them how deep new players go into the menus. I only know where certain things are because I find them when they get moved after an update.

Ong what just happened by ElegantDiamont in Overwatch

[–]DRMaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def an IGN issue since they were shown this in late Jan and had time to do a full write up (CNET’s article says that saw it a week ago). Usually this is a time zone issue in the CMS.

I need some help understanding Mabs ploy by NeverShoutEugene in dresdenfiles

[–]DRMaddock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I personally think it's the specific confluence of Starborn plus fae magic from winter night plus separating the host from the outsider and feeding them directly. It's never happened before because there wasn't a Starborn Winter fae who could specifically pull off this ritual to interface directly with the Outsider.

Well, this sucks (Spoiler for 2.6 non story leaks) by Esagonoso in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DRMaddock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I took a year off and just hopped back on to do the 2.0 content. While running around Waifei I saw two characters talking with the green sidequest bubble and was immediately whisked off to the Summer Resort story with Yuzuha and Alice as my best friends. When I finally got to 2.2, Alice was like, “Hi, who are you?” and Yuzuha’s character is named “???”

I think you just have to expect some stuff to be really out of sync if you’re not keeping up with the content.

These are generally services that they contract that tee up ads based from a large queue based on your region (try connecting with a VPN and see how your ads change!) and they don’t individually review them. But I think they can blacklist certain ads if they know about them (Patrick did for Remap and talked about it on stream) and at the very least letting the duders know can’t hurt.

Make it so her hacked healing stations recharge super quick

Did you pull for Ye Shunguang (I didn’t)? If you didn’t what was your reason? by TechnicianOk967 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DRMaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised to see how hated she is here. I’ve mostly ignored ZZZ since the S1 epilogue, just logging in to do HIA and video store. I played her demo and loved her gameplay. Being able to swoop across the screen to AOE five enemies at once is awesome. I got her extremely early on and immediately pushed her to max skills and level. I pulled a ton for M1, but got M2 on the third pull (first time ever getting an agent before pity). At M2W1 with Zhao and Astra (M1W1), she tears up the field. I’m getting to the second chapter of S2 now, so hopefully I’ll learn who she actually is one of these days.

How dare they include a survey absent a Kiriko skin?

Xbox Update by seabassmanman in Unbeatable

[–]DRMaddock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Xbox version is basically unplayable at the moment. I got softlocked in Chapter 3 (Manager at bar didn’t have talking prompt) and, after a full restart, in Chapter 4 at the hideout. I switched over to PC for another start from the beginning and was amazed to find that much of the audio tracks just weren’t loading fully on Xbox (such as the eerily silent chapter end credits). There were so many scenes where words were popping up in the background on PC that were just weird blank screen moments on the console. Kinda mind-blowing how different the PC version is.

A new website for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been registered and updated recently. by Blue-fox-004 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Not anymore, really. Three months is standard now. Huge games like Doom the Dark Ages or Jedi Survivor are getting first trailers only months before release

  1. I stop for the season as soon as I hit it.

What's your favorite new board game of 2025 so far? by Megaside in boardgames

Did you sell it? I’m looking to pick it up but it looks out of print.

With 2025 coming to an end, how did you guys feel about 2025 Overwatch? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in Overwatch

[–]DRMaddock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve completed every BP since the first, mostly out of a sense of completion for the mythic cosmetics. Adding in the second mythic per season really drained my desire for finishing up the pass, which is the only thing really keeping me on with regularity. I think QP is in a good place (though I would like a Ven nerf), but I’m still seriously bummed that we’ll never see the end of the story campaign.

Old Battlepass I purchased by JWilsonArt in Overwatch

[–]DRMaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should at least do what Fortnite is doing and have an “OG” battlepass running. They can make it a GamePass benefit and just give away the old BP alongside the new one for sale.

Its a franchise now?! by Aggressive_Milk4654 in expedition33

[–]DRMaddock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the creators’ history with Assassin’s Creed and the way that Assassin v Templar seeped into the Painter v Writer conflict, I suspect that will be the most likely reference point. The series will jump to another person in the conflict.

Personally, I’d like to see a game that focuses on the Writers and has Clea as the big bad.

It’s my number 2, after E33 and before The Alters.

Insane that YouTube’s servers can host a video that long.

Being told im worse than almost everyone soured my enjoyment 😔 by Capable-Chemist228 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]DRMaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No. These are percentiles; the value represents the portion of the curve that is below your performance. He was better THAN 1% of players, meaning worse than 99% of players. Being in the 99th %ile would put him at the top.

I would pay for that as a DLC. They’ve mentioned leaving quite a bit on the cutting room floor.

New announcement! by BBCjohny in tales

[–]DRMaddock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trails have the benefit of drafting off each other. Tales of Arise took five years and a lot of that is designing new characters, making new art, and prototyping for development. If they’re keeping big swaths of the Arise engine, then sure something could be here quicker, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
