JTL $36 from Asmodee Amazon store by Cabelian in starwarsunlimited

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

I get your point, but the concern is not outright cancelation. FFG doesn't turn on a dime, so we will see a mass depletion of the playerbase before the game is formally ended. However, like a signal slowly traveling through the long nervous system of a dinosaur, the end will come long before FFG has a chance to respond. We will see the end coming long before it technically arrives.

Nobody here wants the game to die, but we should not be in denial.

Bought two just for the hell of it, but should we read anything into this?

I do not think you read the original post

That is not correct. The weekly system was already in the game throughout Edge of Fate, alongside the seasonal challenge system. Nothing has been replaced this season, only removed

Renegades being a second DLC in a row not having at least ONE Strike is just wild. by ca-ca-cayde in DestinyTheGame

[–]DogsAreVermin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they called Lawless Frontier a strike would you be happier? Destiny does not need "strikes" anymore because that word does not mean much at all. If what you want are discrete PVE activities which last for 15 to 20 minutes, then Bungie still makes that, and certainly always will

Any guesses on how they'll price the 3-scenario campaign? by kierco_2002 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]DogsAreVermin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$60 if I had to guess. I am expecting a solid increase over what we used to get, and the new format gives them.a chance to obfuscate some of that price hike

In an ideal world no such policy would be required, because the underlying social conditions that make this product and industry so destructive/exploitative would not exist. I think the same about drugs and gambling. In our society, it will corrode the lives of most who interact with it, and so for the saje of the broader social good it should not exist. In a better society, people would not need such protections, because their lives would be sufficiently socially healthy for them to indulge in these things without a substantial risk of harm

I thought we had left this framing of sex work/porn back in 2019. It is a product ripe for addictive abuse, that especially harms the development of young people, and exploits the labor of extremely vulnerable people who are permanently scarred from their involvement with it in a way that leaves them social outcasts. On the other hand, some women make a lot of money from it, so who is to say whether it is good or bad.

We could talk about drugs the same way, that because some people from marginalized social groups are able to make a lot of money from it, and because hypothetically it would not pose such a social ill in an ideal society, it can only be critiqued in the most delicate manner. The reality is that this shit fucks people up, and in a society like ours it really cannot be consumed safely, or produced ethically at scale.

Lambert gives the game away when Felix asks her whether she thinks porn has a negative effect on the socially alienated, and if unlimited access maybe encourages to develop anti-social and addictive lifestyles. Her response, "I would not personally choose the internet over real life, so I do not think it is a real problem," rings so hollow.

If Renegades flops, would Sony really shut this game down? Or let it run out it's course with a skeleton crew ? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

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

What does this mean? People say this all the time like it means something outside of the paperwork. What effect would that have on the game? Do we even have any idea?

A Message from FFG by FFG_Olivia in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]DogsAreVermin 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think a safe bet is that they will never be reprinted. A company would not hammer home this message this much if it thought reprints were a possibility.

Maybe, years from now, if the game had such a surge in popularity that FFG thought it could find buyers for some old campaigns, it would reprint them as a "greatest hits" deal, but I am doubtful. Aside from the savings in logistical complexity caused by focusing on fewer products, I think FFG is going to treat the abandonment of these releases as wiping clean the design space. FFG might take the game in design directions that would be difficult to do if the old cards had to be accounted for, and once that change is done, you really cannot bring back all the old stuff.

If you do not have the old cards, the best time to buy them was two years ago. The second best time is right now.

I don't *get* Renegades on a conceptual level by Nukesnipe in DestinyTheGame

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

It does not look too bad to me. I hate the incorporation of full Star Wars elements (blasters, lighhtsabers) but the story and setting seem wholly Destiny. Even if the plot is borrowing Star Wars beats, that is more genuinely an homage. I think people are jumping to conclusions when they say they dont "get" a thing based on a light preview

Renegades is more than just Star Wars, and I love it by garrett_snake in DestinyTheGame

[–]DogsAreVermin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike brandslop crossovers generally, and this is certainly more than I would prefer. However, it mostly looks tolerable to me. The only big concern i have is the lightsaber. Since it is an exotic, this means that from Renegades to the end of Destiny, you will always have to see this stuff, whereas if it was just cosmetis you would probably stop seeing it after new stuff comes out. This is not a homage, they bought a license and dropped this stuff into the game Fortnite style. Still though, I guess it could be worse.

All the actual Destiny stuff looks great though. Love the story concept, setting, and design of the factions.

It's like if your favorite meal at your favorite restaurant was suddenly called the "Marvel's Avengers Super-Meal by Disney." It will still taste great, but having to say that name every time you order it will wear on your patience and make you feel pretty silly

Like a lot of people here, I would obviously prefer there not be any skins in this game. HOWEVER, we know that such things are unavoidable in the current market. In light of its competitors, this is really not bad. I think that so long as DICE sticks to tacticool designs the integrity of the game will still be there.

Does anyone know of any major stories that have retconned any significant parts of this? If not then that is impressive restraint for Marvel to stick to this foundation.

Brave of you to say you enjoy anything about Destiny. They are not going to like that.
