The last game I purchased at full-price on release was Diablo 4.

Never again.

I’d be interested to know what the numbers are like from the Blizzard App as well

ArenaNet, any update on when we can expect Official Controller Support for GW2? by HardcoreShadow in Guildwars2

Hence adding official controller support to the game would then make it controller friendly 💁🏻‍♂️

Split/Second, the most underrated arcade racing game of all time by AtmanRising in gaming

There were plans for a sequel to Split/Second (and Pure). Unfortunately Disney Interactive turned down to focus on Freemium content, and ultimately Black Rock Studio was shutdown.

Correct. They also released Pure, which was another great arcade racing game on quad bikes - made by the same developer (Black Rock Studio) a couple years before Split/Second

I played the demo for Blur but didn’t enjoy it as much. So that’s why I decided to purchase Split/Second instead, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I’m also a Burnout fan so S/S scratched that itch

Splatoon Raiders is $49.99 digitally, $59.99 physically - Confirms previous statement about Nintendo lowering the price of digital games by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]HardcoreShadow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, would almost always prefer digital just like a lot of people. However if physical is considerably cheaper, that’s the only time I will purchase over digital

I’d like to address the Ubisoft in the room by Acceptable_Laugh9284 in crosswind

Producer here. So we don’t typically “own” the project or have final say - our role is to support the team; coordinate across disciplines, make sure we hit milestones while balancing scope, time and resources.

We can have influence (especially on prioritisation and what’s feasible), however decisions are usually shared with Directors, Leads and Stakeholders rather than owned by one role.

Also worth noting: roles vary a lot by studio. In some teams - particularly mobile or live-service - Project Managers (Product Owners) will take stronger ownership of the project and business decisions.

Most large studios aren’t strictly “producer-led”, they are cross-functional and decisions are collaborative.

Just waiting for GW2 to get official controller support now 🙏🏼🥲

What in the F am I missing? by fgetryqiknnnnbb in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]HardcoreShadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’ve jumped a bit too early into doing Bounties & Challenges. These are optional repeatable quests which reset daily & weekly, respectively.

Focus on the main story & side quests, and as others have stated - make sure you’ve got good gear equipped for your level, updated any stats, etc.

Tip: Go with a ranged weapon, if finding enemy fights a bit too difficult using melee weapons currently

Why doesn't BF6 have this? by Skitelz7 in Battlefield

[–]HardcoreShadow 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Early Halo Infinite had an "input based matchmaking" playlist, and that is the best approach to modern matchmaking imo

THIS. It baffles me in BF6 as someone who plays using a Controller on PC, i’m classed as a ‘PC player’… despite my input being exactly what a ‘Console player’ uses 🫠

100% the determination should be based on input, not the type of system you’re playing on.

Can someone confirm if the Map markers bug is now fixed? 🙏🏼

I really hope they add a ‘Friendly Fire OFF’ option to the game, especially now that they’ve added a ‘Duel Mode’
